SQL, mark continuous rows with sequence numbers
In PostgreSQL database, tmp table has two grouping fields – source_id and event_user. Group the table by source_id and sort each group by event_date, rows having same event_user value will form sub-groups in order, as shown below:
id |
source_id |
event_user |
event_date |

We want to add a computed column named SERIES_ID to number sub-groups under each source_id. The expected result is as follows:
id |
source_id |
SERIES_ID |
event_user |
event_date |

Write the following SPL code:
A |
|
1 |
=post1.query("select id, source_id, SERIES_ID, event_user, event_date from data order by source_id,event_date") |
2 |
=A1.group@o(source_id).(~.group@o(event_user)) |
3 |
=A2.conj@r(~.run( ~.run( SERIES_ID=get(1,#)))) |
A1: Retrieve data with a SQL statement and sort rows by source_id and event_date; SERIES_ID is eimpty.
A2: Group rows by comparing neighboring source_id values without sorting, and then group rows in each group by comparing neighboring event_user values.
A3: Mark each sub-group of each group with a sequence number and concatenate members of each groups as records.
