I can search a one dimensional array with SELECT value = ANY(array), but
how do I search two dimensional array for a particular row? ANY seems
to flatten out a two dimensional array.

[local]:playpen=> select 2 = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]);
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)

Time: 52.451 ms
[local]:playpen=> select ROW(2,7) = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]);
ERROR: operator does not exist: record = integer
LINE 1: select ROW(2,7) = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]);
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You
might need to add explicit type casts.
[local]:playpen=> select ROW(4,2) = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]);
ERROR: operator does not exist: record = integer
LINE 1: select ROW(4,2) = any (ARRAY[[1,7],[4,2]]);
