DB_CALL_ARRAY_FLOAT

Syntax

DB_CALL_ARRAY_FLOAT( db_function_name [ , arg_1 [ , arg_2 [ , ... ] ] ] )

Description

Warning

The availability and behavior of native functions depends on your database type and version.

It is recommended to use native functions only if there is no supported DataLens function (composition of functions) that can achieve the required result.

Calls a native database function by its name. Native function should return a value of type Array of fractional numbers. The function is executed for every row in the dataset (non-aggregated).

The first argument db_function_name must be a constant string with the name of the database function to call. All subsequent arguments are passed to the native function in the same order as written in the formula and can be of any type, including types that are not currently supported by DataLens.

The function name must contain only alphanumeric characters, underscore and colon characters.

Argument types:

  • db_function_nameString
  • arg_1Any
  • arg_2Any

Return type: Array of fractional numbers

Note

Only constant values are accepted for the arguments (db_function_name).

Examples

DB_CALL_ARRAY_FLOAT("arrayConcat", ARRAY(1.0, 2.0), ARRAY(3.0)) = ARRAY(1.0, 2.0, 3.0) -- ClickHouse: concatenate arrays of floats
DB_CALL_ARRAY_FLOAT("arrayCompact", [float_arr_field]) -- ClickHouse: remove duplicate consecutive values from array of floats
