Error while using Array_contains function in left join condition

'Item_id' is column in array format like ["ba1b-5fbe1547ddd5", "88f9-ac3b93334f69", "8bba-4075a47eb814"] in table1 and table2 has column Id with single value like ba1b-5fbe1547ddd5.

While join two table

select 

table1.*,

table2.*

from table1

left join table2

on array_contains(table2.id, table1.item_id)

getting below error

Error in SQL statement: AnalysisException: cannot resolve 'array_contains(table2.id, table1.item_id)' due to data type mismatch: Input to function array_contains should have been array followed by a value with same element type, but it's [string, array<string>].

@Rishabh Shanker​ Hi. The array_contains function requires the below syntax

array_contains(array, value)

The argument needs array as the first value and the element as the second value. So can you try

array_contains(table1.item_id, table2.id )
