Julian Hyde updated CALCITE-5692:
---------------------------------
Description:
In CALCITE-4496 we added measures, and the ability to evaluate a measure in a
context determined by the GROUP BY clause. In this change, we add the ability
to change that context using the AT operator.
When used as a clause of an aggregate function call, {{AT}} is similar to
{{FILTER}}. For example, in the query
{code}
SELECT deptno,
AVG(sal) FILTER (WHERE job <> 'MANAGER') AS a1,
AVG(sal) AT (VISIBLE WHERE job <> 'MANAGER') AS a2,
AVG(sal) AT (WHERE job <> 'MANAGER') AS a3
FROM emp
WHERE sal > 1000
GROUP BY deptno;
{code}
{{a1}} and {{a2}} always return the same value - the average salary of
non-managers who earn more than $1000. But {{a3}} (similar to {{a2}} but
missing the {{VISIBLE}} keyword) computes the average of all non-managers (not
just those earning more than $1000).
Sub-clauses of {{AT}}:
* {{VISIBLE}} adds a filter equivalent to the {{WHERE}} clause (has no effect
when used in the {{WHERE}} or {{ON}} clauses);
* {{WHERE}} adds the given predicate as a filter;
* {{CLEAR GROUP}} clears the predicate of the current group, if any (e.g.
"deptno = 10 AND job = 'ANALYST'" if we are in the SELECT clause of a query
with "GROUP BY deptno, job" evaluating the row (10, 'ANALYST');
* {{CLEAR WHERE}} clears the predicate of the {{WHERE}} clause (has no effect
when used in the {{WHERE}} or {{ON}} clauses);
* {{SET dimension = expression}} clears the predicate on {{dimension}} (if
any) and adds a filter "dimension = expression".
{{AT}} can be applied to any expression (not just aggregate functions like
{{FILTER}}). For example,
* {{avg_sal AT (CLEAR deptno)}} // applied to a measure
* {{(COUNT(comm) + 4) AT (CLEAR deptno)}} // applied to an aggregateable
expression
If the expression's syntax is not a function call or an identifier, you need to
use parentheses.
