Postgres query column with comma-delimited strings for array of strings I have a table that has data that looks like this:

id  oe
--  ---------------------------------------------------
 1  04715SNAA90,04715SNAA90ZZ,71501SNAA00,71501SNAA00ZZ
 2  64526915083,64526953474
 3  04715SNAA90,04715SNAA90ZZ,71501SNAA00,71501SNAA00ZZ
 4  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
 5  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
 6  04715SNAA90,04715SNAA90ZZ,71501SNAA00,71501SNAA00ZZ
 7  64526915083,64526953474
 8  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
 9  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA
10  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA
11  04715SNAA90,04715SNAA90ZZ,71501SNAA00,71501SNAA00ZZ
12  64526915083,64526953474
13  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA
14  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
15  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA


How can I write a query where I can pass an array of values and return rows where that column contains any of the values in the array?

This works because I get another value from a lookup table and I'd rather not do it that way as there is no index on the hol column in the pubnet table.
[please don't suggest adding one as I cannot modify DB]

SELECT * FROM pubnet 
where hol in (select hol from id2hol where id in ('F3DH19860AA', 'F4DHAA'))


This would be the result set:

id  oe
--  ---------------------------------------------------
 4  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
 5  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
 8  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
 9  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA
10  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA
13  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA
14  F4DH8C607AA,F4DHAA
15  F3DH19860AA,F3DHAA,F4DH19860AA,F4DHAA
You need to convert the comma separated values to an array, then you can use the overlaps operator &amp;&amp;

select *
from pubnet
where string_to_array(oe, ',') &amp;&amp; array['F3DH19860AA', 'F4DHAA']
