Re: Use array in a dynamic statement

I don't see how the problem can be solved by merging the function logic into the calling function. The int[][] array is
suppliedby user, and I still have the issue to pass it into a dynamic statement, no matter in which function, unless I
serializeit to string and deserialize back to int[][].

Well the function is pretty simple.  Maybe you could merge the logic
encapsulated by the function into the containing query?
