I have a requirement where I have to execute multiple queries and perform group by on a column with where clause , group by column is fixed and where condition will be perform on fixed column with variable criteria . Only Column name and aggregation type will be varies For example if I have table :
k1 k2 val1 val2
1 1 10 30
1 1 20 31
1 2 30 32
2 2 40 33
2 3 50 34
2 4 60 35
2 4 70 36
3 4 80 37
3 5 90 38
3 5 100 39
t:([] k1:1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3; k2:1 1 2 2 3 4 4 4 5 5; val1:10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100; val2:31 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39)
Queries which I need to perform will be like
select avg_val1:avg val1 by k1 from t where k2 in 2 3 4
select sum_val1:sum val1 by k1 from t where k2 in 2 3
select sum_val2:sum val2 by k1 from t where k2 in 2 3 5
select min_val2:min val2 by k1 from t where k2 in 1 2 3 4 5
I want to execute these queries in a single execution using functional queries. I tried this, but not able to put right condition and syntax
res:?[t;();(enlist`k1)!enlist`k1;(`avg_val1;`sum_val2)!({$[x; y; (::)]}[1b;(avg;`val1)];{$[x; y; (::)]}[1b; (sum;`val2)])];
k1 avg_val1 sum_val2
1 20.0 94
2 55.0 138
3 90.0 114
Instead putting 1b in condition , i want to put real condition like this:
res:?[t;();(enlist`k1)!enlist`k1;(`avg_val1;`sum_val2)!({$[x; y; (::)]}[(in;`k2;2 3 4i);(avg;`val1)];{$[x; y; (::)]}[(in;`k2;2 3i); (sum;`val2)])];
But it will give "type" error, since query will be first group by k1 ,and k2 will be list. So condition is also not right.
I want to know what can be the best solution for this. May be there can be better approach to solve the same . Please help me to in same.
Thank you.
The vector conditional (?) operator can get you closer to what you'd like.
Given your table
t:([] k1:1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3; k2:1 1 2 2 3 4 4 4 5 5; val1:10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100; val2:31 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39)
k1 k2 val1 val2
---------------
1 1 10 31
1 1 20 31
1 2 30 32
2 2 40 33
2 3 50 34
2 4 60 35
2 4 70 36
3 4 80 37
3 5 90 38
3 5 100 39
you can update, say, the val1 column to hold null values wherever a condition does not hold
update val1:?[k2 in 2 3 4;val1;0N] from t
k1 k2 val1 val2
---------------
1 1 31
1 1 31
1 2 30 32
2 2 40 33
2 3 50 34
2 4 60 35
2 4 70 36
3 4 80 37
3 5 38
3 5 39
and with a little more work you can get the desired aggregate (NB: the aggregate functions ignore null values)
select avg ?[k2 in 2 3 4;val1;0N] by k1 from t
k1| x
--| --
1 | 30
2 | 55
3 | 80
You can wrap this up into a functional select statement like so
?[t;();{x!x}enlist`k1;`avg_val1`sum_val2!((avg;(?;(in;`k2;2 3 4);`val1;0N));(sum;(?;(in;`k2;2 3);`val2;0N)))]
k1| avg_val1 sum_val2
--| -----------------
1 | 30 32
2 | 55 67
3 | 80 0
However, this can break when you use an function that does not ignore nulls, e.g. count. You may be better off using the where operator in you select statement:
select avg val1 where k2 in 2 3 4 by k1 from t
k1| x
--| --
1 | 30
2 | 55
3 | 80
?[t;();{x!x}enlist`k1;`avg_val1`sum_val2!((avg;(`val1;(where;(in;`k2;2 3 4))));(sum;(`val2;(where;(in;`k2;2 3)))))]
k1| avg_val1 sum_val2
--| -----------------
1 | 30 32
2 | 55 67
3 | 80 0
