Functions

Table of contents

There is support for a wide variety of functions shared by SQL/PPL. We are intend to generate this part of documentation automatically from our type system. However, the type system is missing descriptive information for now. So only formal specifications of all functions supported are listed at the moment. More details will be added in future.

Most of the specifications can be self explained just as a regular function with data type as argument. The only notation that needs elaboration is generic type T which binds to an actual type and can be used as return type. For example, ABS(NUMBER T) -> T means function ABS accepts an numerical argument of type T which could be any sub-type of NUMBER type and returns the actual type of T as return type. The actual type binds to generic type at runtime dynamically.

Description

Usage: cast(expr as dateType) cast the expr to dataType. return the value of dataType. The following conversion rules are used:

Src/Target STRING NUMBER BOOLEAN TIMESTAMP DATE TIME
STRING   Note1 Note1 TIMESTAMP() DATE() TIME()
NUMBER Note1   v!=0 N/A N/A N/A
BOOLEAN Note1 v?1:0   N/A N/A N/A
TIMESTAMP Note1 N/A N/A   DATE() TIME()
DATE Note1 N/A N/A N/A   N/A
TIME Note1 N/A N/A N/A N/A  

Note1: the conversion follow the JDK specification.

Cast to string example:

os> SELECT cast(true as string) as cbool, cast(1 as string) as cint, cast(DATE '2012-08-07' as string) as cdate
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+-------+------+------------+
| cbool | cint | cdate      |
|-------+------+------------|
| true  | 1    | 2012-08-07 |
+-------+------+------------+

Cast to number example:

os> SELECT cast(true as int) as cbool, cast('1' as integer) as cstring
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+-------+---------+
| cbool | cstring |
|-------+---------|
| 1     | 1       |
+-------+---------+

Cast to date example:

os> SELECT cast('2012-08-07' as date) as cdate, cast('01:01:01' as time) as ctime, cast('2012-08-07 01:01:01' as timestamp) as ctimestamp
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+------------+----------+---------------------+
| cdate      | ctime    | ctimestamp          |
|------------+----------+---------------------|
| 2012-08-07 | 01:01:01 | 2012-08-07 01:01:01 |
+------------+----------+---------------------+

Cast function can be chained:

os> SELECT cast(cast(true as string) as boolean) as cbool
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+-------+
| cbool |
|-------|
| True  |
+-------+

Description

Returns the current date and time as a value in 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss[.nnnnnn]'. SYSDATE() returns the time at which it executes. This differs from the behavior for NOW(), which returns a constant time that indicates the time at which the statement began to execute. If the argument is given, it specifies a fractional seconds precision from 0 to 6, the return value includes a fractional seconds part of that many digits.

Optional argument type: INTEGER

Return type: TIMESTAMP

Specification: SYSDATE([INTEGER]) -> TIMESTAMP

Example:

> SELECT SYSDATE() as value_1, SYSDATE(6) as value_2;

Description

CASE statement has two forms with slightly different syntax: Simple Case and Searched Case.

Simple case syntax compares a case value expression with each compare expression in WHEN clause and return its result if matched. Otherwise, result expression's value in ELSE clause is returned (or NULL if absent):

CASE case_value_expression
  WHEN compare_expression THEN result_expression
  [WHEN compare_expression THEN result_expression] ...
  [ELSE result_expression]
END

Similarly, searched case syntax evaluates each search condition and return result if true. A search condition must be a predicate that returns a bool when evaluated:

CASE
  WHEN search_condition THEN result_expression
  [WHEN search_condition THEN result_expression] ...
  [ELSE result_expression]
END

Type Check

All result types in WHEN and ELSE clause are required to be exactly the same. Otherwise, take the following query for example, you'll see an semantic analysis exception thrown:

CASE age
  WHEN 30 THEN 'Thirty'
  WHEN 50 THEN true
END

Examples

Here are examples for simple case syntax:

os> SELECT
...   CASE 1
...     WHEN 1 THEN 'One'
...   END AS simple_case,
...   CASE ABS(-2)
...     WHEN 1 THEN 'One'
...     WHEN 2 THEN 'Absolute two'
...   END AS func_case_value,
...   CASE ABS(-3)
...     WHEN 1 THEN 'One'
...     ELSE TRIM(' Absolute three ')
...   END AS func_result;
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+-------------+-----------------+----------------+
| simple_case | func_case_value | func_result    |
|-------------+-----------------+----------------|
| One         | Absolute two    | Absolute three |
+-------------+-----------------+----------------+

Here are examples for searched case syntax:

os> SELECT
...   CASE
...     WHEN 1 = 1 THEN 'One'
...   END AS single_search,
...   CASE
...     WHEN 2 = 1 THEN 'One'
...     WHEN 'hello' = 'hello' THEN 'Hello' END AS multi_searches,
...   CASE
...     WHEN 2 = 1 THEN 'One'
...     WHEN 'hello' = 'world' THEN 'Hello'
...   END AS no_else;
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+---------------+----------------+---------+
| single_search | multi_searches | no_else |
|---------------+----------------+---------|
| One           | Hello          | null    |
+---------------+----------------+---------+

The relevance based functions enable users to search the index for documents by the relevance of the input query. The functions are built on the top of the search queries of the OpenSearch engine, but in memory execution within the plugin is not supported. These functions are able to perform the global filter of a query, for example the condition expression in a WHERE clause or in a HAVING clause. For more details of the relevance based search, check out the design here: Relevance Based Search With SQL/PPL Query Engine

Description

score(relevance_expression[, boost]) score_query(relevance_expression[, boost]) scorequery(relevance_expression[, boost])

The SCORE() function calculates the _score of any documents matching the enclosed relevance-based expression. The SCORE() function expects one argument with an optional second argument. The first argument is the relevance-based search expression. The second argument is an optional floating-point boost to the score (the default value is 1.0).

The SCORE() function sets track_scores=true for OpenSearch requests. Without it, _score fields may return null for some relevance-based search expressions.

Please refer to examples below:

score(query('Tags:taste OR Body:taste', ...), 2.0)

The score_query and scorequery functions are alternative names for the score function.

Example boosting score:

os> select id, title, author, _score from books where score(query('title:Pooh House', default_operator='AND'), 2.0);
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+----+--------------------------+----------------------+-----------+
| id | title                    | author               | _score    |

highlight(title)

Example searching for field Tags:

os> select highlight(title) from books where query_string(['title'], 'Pooh House');
fetched rows / total rows = 2/2
+----------------------------------------------+
| highlight(title)                             |

Description

wildcard_query(field_expression, query_expression[, option=<option_value>]*)

The wildcard_query function maps to the wildcard_query query used in search engine. It returns documents that match provided text in the specified field. OpenSearch supports wildcard characters * and ?. See the full description here: https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/opensearch/query-dsl/term/#wildcards. You may include a backslash \ to escape SQL wildcard characters \% and \_.

Available parameters include:

  • boost
  • case_insensitive
  • rewrite

For backward compatibility, wildcardquery is also supported and mapped to wildcard_query query as well.

Example with only field and query expressions, and all other parameters are set default values:

os> select Body from wildcard where wildcard_query(Body, 'test wildcard*');
fetched rows / total rows = 7/7
+-------------------------------------------+
| Body                                      |
|-------------------------------------------|
| test wildcard                             |
| test wildcard in the end of the text%     |
| test wildcard in % the middle of the text |
| test wildcard %% beside each other        |
| test wildcard in the end of the text_     |
| test wildcard in _ the middle of the text |
| test wildcard __ beside each other        |
+-------------------------------------------+

Another example to show how to set custom values for the optional parameters:

os> select Body from wildcard where wildcard_query(Body, 'test wildcard*', boost=0.7, case_insensitive=true, rewrite='constant_score');
fetched rows / total rows = 8/8
+-------------------------------------------+
| Body                                      |
|-------------------------------------------|
| test wildcard                             |
| test wildcard in the end of the text%     |
| test wildcard in % the middle of the text |
| test wildcard %% beside each other        |
| test wildcard in the end of the text_     |
| test wildcard in _ the middle of the text |
| test wildcard __ beside each other        |

Description

nested(field | [field, path])

The nested function maps to the nested query used in search engine. It returns nested field types in documents that match the provided specified field(s). If the user does not provide the path parameter it will be generated dynamically. For example the field user.office.cubicle would dynamically generate the path user.office.

Example with field and path parameters:

os> SELECT nested(message.info, message) FROM nested;
fetched rows / total rows = 2/2
+-------------------------------+
| nested(message.info, message) |
|-------------------------------|
| a                             |
| b                             |
+-------------------------------+

Example with field.* used in SELECT clause:

os> SELECT nested(message.*) FROM nested;
fetched rows / total rows = 2/2
+------------------------+---------------------------+----------------------+
| nested(message.author) | nested(message.dayOfWeek) | nested(message.info) |
|------------------------+---------------------------+----------------------|
| e                      | 1                         | a                    |
| f                      | 2                         | b                    |
+------------------------+---------------------------+----------------------+

Example with field and path parameters in the SELECT and WHERE clause:

os> SELECT nested(message.info, message) FROM nested WHERE nested(message.info, message) = 'b';
fetched rows / total rows = 1/1
+-------------------------------+
| nested(message.info, message) |
|-------------------------------|
| b                             |
+-------------------------------+

Example with field and path parameters in the SELECT and ORDER BY clause:

os> SELECT nested(message.info, message) FROM nested ORDER BY nested(message.info, message) DESC;
fetched rows / total rows = 2/2
+-------------------------------+
| nested(message.info, message) |
|-------------------------------|
| b                             |
| a                             |
+-------------------------------+

Description

Usage: typeof(expr) function returns name of the data type of the value that is passed to it. This can be helpful for troubleshooting or dynamically constructing SQL queries.
