================================ Lambda Expressions and Functions ================================ Lambda Expression ----------------- Lambda expressions are written with ``->``:: x -> x + 1 (x, y) -> x + y x -> regexp_like(x, 'a+') x -> x[1] / x[2] x -> IF(x > 0, x, -x) x -> COALESCE(x, 0) x -> CAST(x AS JSON) Most SQL expressions can be used in a lambda body, with a few exceptions: * Subqueries are not supported. * The ``TRY`` function is not supported yet. (:func:`try_cast` is supported.) * Capture is not supported yet: * Columns or relations cannot be referenced. * Only lambda variables from the inner-most lambda expression can be referenced. Lambda Functions ---------------- .. function:: filter(array, function) -> ARRAY Constructs an array from those elements of ``array`` for which ``function`` returns true:: SELECT filter(ARRAY [], x -> true); -- [] SELECT filter(ARRAY [5, -6, NULL, 7], x -> x > 0); -- [5, 7] SELECT filter(ARRAY [5, NULL, 7, NULL], x -> x IS NOT NULL); -- [5, 7] .. function:: map_filter(map, function) -> MAP Constructs a map from those entries of ``map`` for which ``function`` returns true:: SELECT map_filter(MAP(ARRAY[], ARRAY[]), (k, v) -> true); -- {} SELECT map_filter(MAP(ARRAY[10, 20, 30], ARRAY['a', NULL, 'c']), (k, v) -> v IS NOT NULL); -- {10 -> a, 30 -> c} SELECT map_filter(MAP(ARRAY['k1', 'k2', 'k3'], ARRAY[20, 3, 15]), (k, v) -> v > 10); -- {k1 -> 20, k3 -> 15} .. function:: reduce(array, initialState S, inputFunction, outputFunction) -> R Returns a single value reduced from ``array``. ``inputFunction`` will be invoked for each element in ``array`` in order. In addition to taking the element, ``inputFunction`` takes the current state, initially ``initialState``, and returns the new state. ``outputFunction`` will be invoked to turn the final state into the result value. It may be identity function (``i -> i``). For example:: SELECT reduce(ARRAY [], 0, (s, x) -> s + x, s -> s); -- 0 SELECT reduce(ARRAY [5, 20, 50], 0, (s, x) -> s + x, s -> s); -- 75 SELECT reduce(ARRAY [5, 20, NULL, 50], 0, (s, x) -> s + x, s -> s); -- NULL SELECT reduce(ARRAY [5, 20, NULL, 50], 0, (s, x) -> s + COALESCE(x, 0), s -> s); -- 75 SELECT reduce(ARRAY [5, 20, NULL, 50], 0, (s, x) -> IF(x IS NULL, s, s + x), s -> s); -- 75 SELECT reduce(ARRAY [2147483647, 1], CAST (0 AS BIGINT), (s, x) -> s + x, s -> s); -- 2147483648 SELECT reduce(ARRAY [5, 6, 10, 20], -- calculates arithmetic average: 10.25 CAST(ROW(0.0, 0) AS ROW(sum DOUBLE, count INTEGER)), (s, x) -> CAST(ROW(x + s.sum, s.count + 1) AS ROW(sum DOUBLE, count INTEGER)), s -> IF(s.count = 0, NULL, s.sum / s.count)); .. function:: transform(array, function) -> ARRAY Returns an array that applies ``function`` to each element of ``array``:: SELECT transform(ARRAY [], x -> x + 1); -- [] SELECT transform(ARRAY [5, 6], x -> x + 1); -- [6, 7] SELECT transform(ARRAY [5, NULL, 6], x -> COALESCE(x, 0) + 1); -- [6, 1, 7] SELECT transform(ARRAY ['x', 'abc', 'z'], x -> x || '0'); -- ['x0', 'abc0', 'z0'] SELECT transform(ARRAY [ARRAY [1, NULL, 2], ARRAY[3, NULL]], a -> filter(a, x -> x IS NOT NULL)); -- [[1, 2], [3]] .. function:: transform_keys(map, function) -> MAP Returns a map that applies ``function`` to each entry of ``map`` and transforms the keys:: SELECT transform_keys(MAP(ARRAY[], ARRAY[]), (k, v) -> k + 1); -- {} SELECT transform_keys(MAP(ARRAY [1, 2, 3], ARRAY ['a', 'b', 'c']), (k, v) -> k + 1); -- {2 -> a, 3 -> b, 4 -> c} SELECT transform_keys(MAP(ARRAY ['a', 'b', 'c'], ARRAY [1, 2, 3]), (k, v) -> v * v); -- {1 -> 1, 4 -> 2, 9 -> 3} SELECT transform_keys(MAP(ARRAY ['a', 'b'], ARRAY [1, 2]), (k, v) -> k || CAST(v as VARCHAR)); -- {a1 -> 1, b2 -> 2} SELECT transform_keys(MAP(ARRAY [1, 2], ARRAY [1.0, 1.4]), -- {one -> 1.0, two -> 1.4} (k, v) -> MAP(ARRAY[1, 2], ARRAY['one', 'two'])[k]); .. function:: transform_values(map, function) -> MAP Returns a map that applies ``function`` to each entry of ``map`` and transforms the values:: SELECT transform_values(MAP(ARRAY[], ARRAY[]), (k, v) -> v + 1); -- {} SELECT transform_values(MAP(ARRAY [1, 2, 3], ARRAY [10, 20, 30]), (k, v) -> v + 1); -- {1 -> 11, 2 -> 22, 3 -> 33} SELECT transform_values(MAP(ARRAY [1, 2, 3], ARRAY ['a', 'b', 'c']), (k, v) -> k * k); -- {1 -> 1, 2 -> 4, 3 -> 9} SELECT transform_values(MAP(ARRAY ['a', 'b'], ARRAY [1, 2]), (k, v) -> k || CAST(v as VARCHAR)); -- {a -> a1, b -> b2} SELECT transform_values(MAP(ARRAY [1, 2], ARRAY [1.0, 1.4]), -- {1 -> one_1.0, 2 -> two_1.4} (k, v) -> MAP(ARRAY[1, 2], ARRAY['one', 'two'])[k] || '_' || CAST(v AS VARCHAR)); .. function:: zip_with(array, array, function) -> array Merges the two given arrays, element-wise, into a single array using ``function``. Both arrays must have the same length:: SELECT zip_with(ARRAY[1, 3, 5], ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c'], (x, y) -> (y, x)); -- [ROW('a', 1), ROW('b', 3), ROW('c', 5)] SELECT zip_with(ARRAY[1, 2], ARRAY[3, 4], (x, y) -> x + y); -- [4, 6] SELECT zip_with(ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c'], ARRAY['d', 'e', 'f'], (x, y) -> concat(x, y)); -- ['ad', 'be', 'cf']
