The row pattern common syntax includes two sub + clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal> + and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines + definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a + logical expression, which means it must + return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal> + or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references + and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are + not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows. + +<programlisting> +DEFINE + LOWPRICE AS price <= 100, + UP AS price > PREV(price), + DOWN AS price < PREV(price) +</programlisting> + + Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the + previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in + the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal> + when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column + in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when + the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the + previous row. + </para> + <para> + Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be + used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies + certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal> + defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more + rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that + "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or + more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found, + in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and + aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look + into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or + subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0 + (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not + match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS + NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match, + thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> + using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause + is as follows. + +<programlisting> +SELECT company, tdate, price, + first_value(price) OVER w, + max(price) OVER w, + count(price) OVER w +FROM stock + WINDOW w AS ( + PARTITION BY company + ORDER BY tdate + ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING + AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW + INITIAL + PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+) + DEFINE + LOWPRICE AS price <= 100, + UP AS price > PREV(price), + DOWN AS price < PREV(price) +); +</programlisting> +<screen> + company | tdate | price | first_value | max | count +----------+------------+-------+-------------+-----+------- + company1 | 2023-07-01 | 100 | 100 | 200 | 4 + company1 | 2023-07-02 | 200 | | | 0 + company1 | 2023-07-03 | 150 | | | 0 + company1 | 2023-07-04 | 140 | | | 0 + company1 | 2023-07-05 | 150 | | | 0 + company1 | 2023-07-06 | 90 | 90 | 130 | 4 + company1 | 2023-07-07 | 110 | | | 0 + company1 | 2023-07-08 | 130 | | | 0 + company1 | 2023-07-09 | 120 | | | 0 + company1 | 2023-07-10 | 130 | | | 0 +(10 rows) +</screen> + </para> + <para> When a query involves multiple window functions, it is possible to write out each one with a separate <literal>OVER</literal> clause, but this is diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/func.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/func.sgml index 47370e581a..17a38c4046 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/func.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/func.sgml @@ -23338,6 +23338,7 @@ SELECT count(*) FROM sometable; returns <literal>NULL</literal> if there is no such row. </para></entry> </row> + </tbody> </tgroup> </table> @@ -23377,6 +23378,59 @@ SELECT count(*) FROM sometable; Other frame specifications can be used to obtain other effects. </para> + <para> + Row pattern recognition navigation functions are listed in + <xref linkend="functions-rpr-navigation-table"/>.
