Replace usage of a table in query with its array values

Hi everybody,

I have the following 3 tables:

sent_messages

I created the following query using this three tables:

SELECT DISTINCT filtered.theme,
filtered.receiver
FROM ( SELECT SUM( B.count ),
A.theme,
A.receiver,
A.dates,
A.activity_min_days,
A.activity_MT_amount,
A.activity_max_months
FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT sent_messages.theme,
reminder_services.theme_uid,
receiver,
ARRAY( SELECT date::date + s.a FROM
generate_series( 0, activity_min_days -1 ) AS s( a ) ) AS dates,
activity_min_days,
activity_MT_amount,
activity_max_months
FROM reminder_services,
themes,
sent_messages
WHERE themes.uid = reminder_services.theme_uid
AND sent_messages.theme = themes.theme
AND date_trunc( 'day', sent_messages.date ) > ( now() -
reminder_services.activity_max_months * INTERVAL'1 month' )
AND date_trunc( 'day', sent_messages.date ) < ( now() -
reminder_services.inactivity_days * INTERVAL'1 day')
AND EXTRACT( DOW FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) = EXTRACT(
DOW FROM scanning_time)
AND EXTRACT( HOUR FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) = EXTRACT(
HOUR FROM scanning_time )
AND EXTRACT( MINUTE FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) = EXTRACT(
MINUTE FROM scanning_time ) ) A
INNER JOIN ( SELECT COUNT(*),
sent_messages.theme,
receiver,
date_trunc( 'day', sent_messages.date ) AS date
FROM reminder_services,
themes,
sent_messages
WHERE themes.uid = reminder_services.theme_uid
AND sent_messages.theme = themes.theme
AND date_trunc( 'day', sent_messages.date ) > ( now() -
reminder_services.activity_max_months * INTERVAL' 1 month' )
AND date_trunc( 'day', sent_messages.date ) < ( now() -
reminder_services.inactivity_days * INTERVAL'1 day' )
AND EXTRACT( DOW FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) = EXTRACT(
DOW FROM scanning_time)
AND EXTRACT( HOUR FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) = EXTRACT(
HOUR FROM scanning_time )
AND EXTRACT( MINUTE FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) = EXTRACT(
MINUTE FROM scanning_time )
GROUP BY sent_messages.theme, receiver, date ) B
ON A.theme = B.theme
AND A.receiver = B.receiver
AND B.date = ANY( A.dates )
GROUP BY A.theme,
A.receiver,
A.dates,
A.activity_min_days,
A.activity_MT_amount,
A.activity_max_months) AS filtered
WHERE filtered.sum >= filtered.activity_MT_amount;

The above query returns the following result:

theme | receiver
---------+--------------
MIA | +40741775621
MIA | +40741775622

After database redesign it was decided that reminder_services table to be
moved
into another database. In production, reminder_services table will never
have more
than 100 of records, but sent_messages table it is a log table with a lot of
records
and the above query will be executed every minute. So, I was thinking to
keep
the skeleton of the above query and using arrays instead of using the
reminder_services
table. I want that the following query to be executed and then the arrays
to be used in
the above query:

SELECT ARRAY( SELECT uid FROM reminder_services ) AS uid,
ARRAY( SELECT theme_uid FROM reminder_services) as theme_uid,
ARRAY( SELECT activity_mt_amount FROM reminder_services) as
activity_mt_amount,
ARRAY( SELECT activity_min_days FROM reminder_services) as
activity_min_days,
ARRAY( SELECT activity_max_months FROM reminder_services) as
activity_max_months,
ARRAY( SELECT inactivity_days FROM reminder_services) as
inactivity_days,
ARRAY( SELECT limit_reminders FROM reminder_services) as
limit_reminders,
ARRAY( SELECT limit_months FROM reminder_services) as limit_months,
ARRAY( SELECT scanning_time FROM reminder_services) as
scanning_time;

My problem is that I don't know how to integrate(loop, access etc) these
arrays in the query.
Hope it's possible. Any other ideea would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Loredana

Cross posting to multiple lists is frowned upon, so I'm reply only here.
Have you considered using the dblink contrib module? That seems a far
simpler solution than trying to do this with arrays.
