In the following example, a schedules table includes an array of events, where each event is a ROW with several fields:

=> CREATE TABLE schedules
       (guest VARCHAR,
       events ARRAY[ROW(e_date DATE, e_name VARCHAR, price NUMERIC(8,2))]);

You can use the CONTAINS function with a lambda expression to find people who have more than one event on the same day. The second argument, idx, is the index of the current element:

=> SELECT guest FROM schedules
WHERE CONTAINS(events, (e, idx) ->
                       (idx < ARRAY_LENGTH(events) - 1)
                       AND (e.e_date = events[idx + 1].e_date));
    guest
