Question of the Day
The string_agg function
We create the following table and then insert some records in it:
create table t1 ( id int primary key, category char(1) not null, product varchar(50) ); insert into t1 values (1, 'A', 'Product 1'), (2, 'A', 'Product 2'), (3, 'A', 'Product 3'), (4, 'B', 'Product 4'), (5, 'B', 'Product 5');What happens if we execute the following query in both Sql Server and PostgreSQL?
select id,
category,
string_agg(product, ';')
over (partition by category order by id
rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as stragg
from t1; See possible answers
