Pdo\Sqlite::createAggregate

(PHP 8 >= 8.4.0)

Pdo\Sqlite::createAggregate — Registers an aggregating user-defined function for use in SQL statements

Descrizione

public Pdo\Sqlite::createAggregate(
    string $name,
    callable $step,
    callable $finalize,
    int $numArgs = -1
): bool

This method is similar to Pdo\Sqlite::createFunction() except that it registers functions that can be used to calculate a result aggregated across all the rows of a query.

The key difference between this method and Pdo\Sqlite::createFunction() is that two functions are required to manage the aggregate.

Suggerimento

By using this method it is possible to override native SQL functions.

Elenco dei parametri

name
The name of the function used in SQL statements.
step
Callback function called for each row of the result set. The callback should accumulate the result and store it in the aggregation context.

This function need to be defined as:

step(
    mixed $context,
    int $rownumber,
    mixed $value,
    mixed ...$values
): mixed
context
null for the first row; on subsequent rows it will have the value that was previously returned from the step function; you should use this to maintain the aggregate state.
rownumber
The current row number.
value
The first argument passed to the aggregate.
values
Further arguments passed to the aggregate.
The return value of this function will be used as the context argument in the next call of the step or finalize functions.

finalize
Callback function to aggregate the "stepped" data from each row. Once all the rows have been processed, this function will be called, and it should then take the data from the aggregation context and return the result. This callback function should return a type understood by SQLite (i.e. scalar type).

This function need to be defined as:

fini(mixed $context, int $rowcount): mixed
context

Holds the return value from the very last call to the step function.

rowcount

Holds the number of rows over which the aggregate was performed.

The return value of this function will be used as the return value for the aggregate.

numArgs
Hint to the SQLite parser if the callback function accepts a predetermined number of arguments.

Valori restituiti

Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.

Example #1 Pdo\Sqlite::createAggregate() example

In this example we will create a custom aggregate function named max_length that can be used in SQL queries.

In this example, we are creating an aggregating function, named max_length, that will calculate the length of the longest string in one of the columns of the table. For each row, the max_len_step function is called and passed a $context parameter. The context parameter is just like any other PHP variable and be set to hold an array or even an object. In this example, we are using it to hold the maximum length we have seen so far; if the $string has a length longer than the current maximum, we update the context to hold this new maximum length.

After all the rows have been processed, SQLite calls the max_len_finalize function to determine the aggregate result. It is possible to perform some kind of calculation based on the data in $context. In this basic example the result was calculated as the query progressed, thus so the context value can be directly returned.

<?php
$data = [
'one',
'two',
'three',
'four',
'five',
'six',
'seven',
'eight',
'nine',
'ten',
];
$db = new Pdo\Sqlite('sqlite::memory:');
$db->exec("CREATE TABLE strings(a)");
$insert = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO strings VALUES (?)');
foreach ($data as $str) {
$insert->execute(array($str));
}
$insert = null;

function max_len_step($context, $row_number, $string)
{
if (strlen($string) > $context) {
$context = strlen($string);
}
return $context;
}

function max_len_finalize($context, $row_count)
{
return $context === null ? 0 : $context;
}

$db->createAggregate('max_len', 'max_len_step', 'max_len_finalize');

var_dump($db->query('SELECT max_len(a) from strings')->fetchAll());

?>
Suggerimento

It is NOT recommended for you to store a copy of the values in the context and then process them at the end, as you would cause SQLite to use a lot of memory to process the query - just think of how much memory you would need if a million rows were stored in memory, each containing a string 32 bytes in length.
