I have code like this:
query = """
select from_user_id, to_user_id from account_relationships ar
where from_user_id in $1
and to_user_id in $2
and state in('avoid','block')
"""
results = Ecto.Adapters.SQL.query!(Repo, query, [player_ids, player_ids])
player_ids is a list of ids.
I get the error:
** (Postgrex.Error) ERROR 42601 (syntax_error) syntax error at or near “$1”
What should I do differently? This is postgres query.
Where Next?

Hey @joshua.aug if you look at what Ecto generates for
init’s actually= ANY($1)which is what you should use here too:jswanner
@joshua.aug, you don’t need to build the string yourself, you can use Ecto to do so (even if you don’t have schema modules):
