How to sum the total length of an array of uuids column - postgresql

Currently, I have 1 table consisting of id and otherIds
I want to calculate the sum of otherIds present in database.
id: 1, otherIds: {1,2,3,4,5}
id: 2, otherIds: {3,4,5}
id: 3, otherIds: {9,2,1}
id: 4, otherIds: {}
Desired result: 11 (5 + 3 + 3 + 0)
SELECT
sum(jsonb_array_elements("table"."otherIds")) as "sumLength"
FROM
"Table"
LIMIT 1
[42883] ERROR: function jsonb_array_elements(uuid[]) does not exist

I don't see how JSONB is relevant here. If otherIds is an array of UUID values then wouldn't you just need
SELECT
SUM(ARRAY_LENGTH("table"."otherIds")) as "sumLength"
FROM
"Table"
LIMIT 1

You can get the number of elements in an array with the cardinality() function. Just sum the results over all rows.
I'd like to remark that a table design that includes an array of UUIDs is not pretty and will probable gibe you performance and data integrity problems some day.

Value isn't being added to sum if key is duplicate in array

I have issue where SUM function is not actually calculating/adding values for duplicate key - it doesn't add to sum if there is same key in array twice, only once. I feel like it is skipping keys that appear more than once.
SELECT
w.id,
wc.name,
wc.description,
data_ids,
(SELECT SUM(d.length) FROM data d WHERE d.id = ANY(w.data_ids)) as length
FROM words w
LEFT JOIN "words_content" wc ON wc.word_id = w.id
WHERE
w.id = 15
AND
wc.language_id = 2
So if I have length for data id 1, 2, 3 to be 1, 1, 4 and inside data_ids column i have 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 it will display length 6 and not 12.
Is there a way to include it to keep adding to SUM even if the value of a key is already inside SUM? Note that data_ids is array of integers.

Convert MongoDB query to Snowflake

I'm working on a migration project (MongoDB to Snowflake) and trying to convert one of the mongo queries to Snowflake, we have a use case to fetch records if all the elements from an array matched based on the given parameters.
Mongo DB Function: $all
The $all operator selects the documents where
the value of a field is an array that contains all the specified
elements.
Mongo Query:
db.collection('collection_name').find({
'code': { '$in': [ 'C0001' ] },
'months': { '$all': [ 6, 7, 8, 9 ] } --> 6,7,8,9 given parameters
});
Table Structure in snowflake:
column name datatype
code varchar(50)
id int
months ARRAY
weeks ARRAY
Could you provide some suggestions on how to write this query in Snowflake?
Any recommendations would be helpful.
You can use ARRAY_SIZE and ARRAY_INTERSECTION to test it:
Here is sample table:
create or replace table test ( code varchar, months array );
insert into test select 'C0002', array_construct( 1, 2, 5,8,6,3)
union all select 'C0001', array_construct( 1,2,3 )
union all select 'C0002', array_construct( 2, 12, 3,7,9)
union all select 'C0001', array_construct( 7,8,9,3, 2) ;
Here is query to test:
select * from test where code in ('C0001','C0002')
and ARRAY_SIZE( ARRAY_INTERSECTION( months, array_construct( 3, 2 ))) = 2;
So I find the intersection of two arrays, and check the number of items. If you want to look for 3 items, you should set 3 (and it goes like this):
select * from test where code in ('C0001','C0002')
and ARRAY_SIZE( ARRAY_INTERSECTION( months, array_construct( 3, 2, 7 ))) = 3;

Can (aggregate) functions be used to define a column?

Assume a table like this one:
a | b | total
--|---|------
1 | 2 | 3
4 | 7 | 11
…
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE summedup (
a double precision DEFAULT 0
, b double precision DEFAULT 0
--, total double precision
);
INSERT INTO summedup (a, b) VALUES (1, 2);
INSERT INTO summedup (a, b) VALUES (4, 7);
SELECT a, b, a + b as total FROM summedup;
It's easy to sum up the first two columns on SELECT.
But does Postgres (9.6) also support the ability to define total as the sum of the other two columns? If so:
What is the syntax?
What is this type of operation called (aggregates typically sum up cells over multiple rows, not columns.)
What you are looking for is typically called a "computed column".
Postgres 9.6 does not support that (Postgres 12 - to be released in Q4 2019 - will).
But for such a simple sum, I wouldn't bother storing redundant information.
If you don't want to repeat the expression, create a view.
I think what you want is a View.
CREATE VIEW table_with_sum AS
SELECT id, a, b, a + b as total FROM summedup;
then you can query the view for the sum.
SELECT total FROM table_with_sum where id=5;
The View does not store the sum for each row, the totalcolumn is computed every time you query the View. If your goal is to make your query more efficient, this will not help.
There is an other way: add the column to the table and create triggers for update and insert that update the total column every time a row is modified.

Calculate value based on existence of records matching given criteria - FileMaker Pro 13

How can I write a calculation field in a table that outputs '1' if there are other (related) records in the same table that meet a given set of criteria and '0' otherwise?
Here's my problem explained in more detail:
I have a table containing 'students' and another containing 'exam results'. The 'exam results' table looks like this:
StudentID SubjectID Level Result
3234 1 2 A-
3234 2 4 B+
4739 1 4 C+
A student can only pass a Level 4 exam in subject 2 if they have also passed a Level 2 exam in subject 1 with a B+ or higher. I want to define a field in the 'students' table that contains a '1' if there exists an exam result belonging to the right student that meets these criteria and a '0' otherwise.
What would be the best way to do this?
Let us take an example of a Results table where the results are also calculated as a numeric value, e.g.
StudentID SubjectID Level Result cResultNum
3234 1 2 A- 95
3234 2 4 B+ 85
4739 1 4 C+ 75
and an Exams table with the following fields (among others):
RequiredSubjectID
RequiredLevel
RequiredResultNum
Given these, you can construct a relationship between Exams and (another occurrence of) Results as:
Exams::RequiredSubjectID = Results 2::SubjectID
AND
Exams::RequiredLevel = Results 2::Level
AND
Exams::RequiredResultNum ≤ Results 2::cResultNum
This allows each exam record to calculate a list of students that are eligible to take that exam as =
List ( Results 2::StudentID )
I want to define a field in the 'students' table that contains a '1'
if there exists an exam result belonging to the right student that
meets these criteria and a '0' otherwise.
This request is unclear, because there are many exams a student may want to take, and a field in the Students table can calculate only one result.
You need to do a self-join in the table for the field you want to check, for example:
Exam::Level = Exam2::Level
Exam::Student = Exam2::Student
And for the "was passed" criteria I think you could do an "If" on the calculation like this:
If ( Last(Exam2::Result) = "D" and ...(all the pass values) ; 1 ; 0 )
Edit:
It could be just with the not pass value hehe I miss that it will be like this:
If ( Last(Exam2::Result) = "F" ; 0 ; 1 )
I hope this helps you.

Perl + PostgreSQL-- Selective Column to Row Transpose

I'm trying to find a way to use Perl to further process a PostgreSQL output. If there's a better way to do this via PostgreSQL, please let me know. I basically need to choose certain columns (Realtime, Value) in a file to concatenate certains columns to create a row while keeping ID and CAT.
First time posting, so please let me know if I missed anything.
Input:
ID CAT Realtime Value
A 1 time1 55
A 1 time2 57
B 1 time3 75
C 2 time4 60
C 3 time5 66
C 3 time6 67
Output:
ID CAT Time Values
A 1 time 1,time2 55,57
B 1 time3 75
C 2 time4 60
C 3 time5,time6 66,67
You could do this most simply in Postgres like so (using array columns)
CREATE TEMP TABLE output AS SELECT
id, cat, ARRAY_AGG(realtime) as time, ARRAY_AGG(value) as values
FROM input GROUP BY id, cat;
Then select whatever you want out of the output table.
SELECT id
, cat
, string_agg(realtime, ',') AS realtimes
, string_agg(value, ',') AS values
FROM input
GROUP BY 1, 2
ORDER BY 1, 2;
string_agg() requires PostgreSQL 9.0 or later and concatenates all values to a delimiter-separated string - while array_agg() (v8.4+) creates am array out of the input values.
About 1, 2 - I quote the manual on the SELECT command:
GROUP BY clause
expression can be an input column name, or the name or ordinal number
of an output column (SELECT list item), or ...
ORDER BY clause
Each expression can be the name or ordinal number of an output column
(SELECT list item), or
Emphasis mine. So that's just notational convenience. Especially handy with complex expressions in the SELECT list.
