So I want to prepare a query something like:

SELECT id FROM users WHERE (branch, cid) IN $1;

But I then need to bind a variable length list of arrays like (('a','b'),('c','d')) to it. How do I go about doing this? I've tried using ANY but can't seem to get the syntax right.

Cheers,

Alec


Edit: After some fiddling around, this is valid syntactically:

SELECT id FROM users WHERE (branch, cid) = ANY ($1::text[][]);

and then binding the string '{{a,b},{c,d}}' to $1

but throws the error "operator does not exist: record = text". Changing 'text' to 'record' then throws "input of anonymous composite types is not implemented". Any ideas?
