Hello

you need SQL function upack

create or replace function unpack(anyarray)
returns setof anyelement as $$
select $1[i]
from generate_series(array_lover($1,1), array_upper($1,1)) g(i)
$$ language sql strict immutable;

postgres=# select * from unpack('{one, two, three}'::text[]);
unpack
--------
one
two
three
(3 rows)
