After reading the docs i have a question about the parameters in the
'in' clause.

In psycopg2 i do:

   params = (1,2,3,4)
   cursor.execute("select * from mytable where field1 in %s", (params,))

or

   params = ('black','red','green')
   cursor.execute("select * from mytable where field2 in %s", (params,))

What will it be like in psycopg3, will it be the same?, will I have to
create a special adapter?

Hollo Oswaldo,

"IN" cannot be used, because it's a SQL construct, so "(1, 2, 3)" is
not something that postgres will understand as a parameter.

You can use "= any (%s)" and pass a list. This is something you can do
in psycopg2 too, and it's actually a better choice, because it works
with empty lists too, unless `IN ()`, which is a syntax error for
Postgres.

What you can do is:

     params = ['black','red','green']
     cursor.execute("select * from mytable where field2 = any(%s)", (params,))

interesting fact: "= any" is what postgres really uses internally,
even if you use the "IN ()" syntax:

     piro=# explain select * from mytable where myint in (1,2,3);
                           QUERY PLAN
     ---------------------------------------------------------
     Seq Scan on mytable  (cost=0.00..45.06 rows=38 width=4)
       Filter: (myint = ANY ('{1,2,3}'::integer[]))
     (2 rows)

Thank for your replies, I will use "=any(params list)" in psycopg3

The second question is: if psycopg3 is going to do the automatic cast of the types, will it be able to distinguish between a json and a list of values?.
Example:

data = ["a", "b", "c"]
idList = [4,7,2]

cursor.execute("update mytable set jsfield=%s where id = any(%s)", (data, idList))

What will be the correct syntax in this case?

Thanks,
