Map Functions

all_keys_match(x(K, V), function(K, boolean)) → boolean

Returns whether all keys of a map match the given predicate. Returns true if all the keys match the predicate (a special case is when the map is empty); false if one or more keys don’t match; NULL if the predicate function returns NULL for one or more keys and true for all other keys.

SELECT all_keys_match(map(array['a', 'b', 'c'], array[1, 2, 3]), x -> length(x) = 1); -- true

any_keys_match(x(K, V), function(K, boolean)) → boolean

Returns whether any keys of a map match the given predicate. Returns true if one or more keys match the predicate; false if none of the keys match (a special case is when the map is empty); NULL if the predicate function returns NULL for one or more keys and false for all other keys.

SELECT any_keys_match(map(array['a', 'b', 'c'], array[1, 2, 3]), x -> x = 'a'); -- true

any_values_match(x(K, V), function(V, boolean)) → boolean

Returns whether any values of a map matches the given predicate. Returns true if one or more values match the predicate; false if none of the values match (a special case is when the map is empty); NULL if the predicate function returns NULL for one or more values and false for all other values.

SELECT ANY_VALUES_MATCH(map(ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c'], ARRAY[1, 2, 3]), x -> x = 1); -- true

cardinality(x) → bigint

Returns the cardinality (size) of the map x.

element_at(map(K, V), key) → V

Returns value for given key, or NULL if the key is not contained in the map.

map() → map<unknown, unknown>

Returns an empty map.

SELECT map(); -- {}

map(array(K), array(V)) -> map(K, V)

Returns a map created using the given key/value arrays. Keys are not allowed to be null or to contain nulls.

SELECT map(ARRAY[1,3], ARRAY[2,4]); -- {1 -> 2, 3 -> 4}

See also map_agg() for creating a map as an aggregation.

map_concat(map1(K, V), map2(K, V), ..., mapN(K, V)) -> map(K, V)

Returns the union of all the given maps. If a key is found in multiple given maps, that key’s value in the resulting map comes from the last one of those maps.

map_entries(map(K, V)) -> array(row(K, V))

Returns an array of all entries in the given map.

SELECT map_entries(MAP(ARRAY[1, 2], ARRAY['x', 'y'])); -- [ROW(1, 'x'), ROW(2, 'y')]

map_filter(map(K, V), function(K, V, boolean)) -> map(K, V)

Constructs a map from those entries of map for which function returns true:

SELECT map_filter(MAP(ARRAY[], ARRAY[]), (k, v) -> true); -- {}
SELECT map_filter(MAP(ARRAY[10, 20, 30], ARRAY['a', NULL, 'c']), (k, v) -> v IS NOT NULL); -- {10 -> a, 30 -> c}
SELECT map_filter(MAP(ARRAY['k1', 'k2', 'k3'], ARRAY[20, 3, 15]), (k, v) -> v > 10); -- {k1 -> 20, k3 -> 15}

map_from_entries(array(row(K, V))) -> map(K, V)

Returns a map created from the given array of entries. Keys are not allowed to be null or to contain nulls.

SELECT map_from_entries(ARRAY[(1, 'x'), (2, 'y')]); -- {1 -> 'x', 2 -> 'y'}

map_normalize(map(varchar, double)) -> map(varchar, double)

Returns the map with the same keys but all non-null values scaled proportionally so that the sum of values becomes 1. Map entries with null values remain unchanged.

When total sum of non-null values is zero, null values remain null, zero, NaN, Infinity and -Infinity values become NaN, positive values become Infinity, negative values become -Infinity.:

SELECT map_normalize(map(array['a', 'b', 'c'], array[1, 4, 5])); -- {a=0.1, b=0.4, c=0.5}
SELECT map_normalize(map(array['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], array[1, null, 4, 5])); -- {a=0.1, b=null, c=0.4, d=0.5}
SELECT map_normalize(map(array['a', 'b', 'c'], array[1, 0, -1])); -- {a=Infinity, b=NaN, c=-Infinity}

map_subset(map(K, V), array(k)) -> map(K, V)

Constructs a map from those entries of map for which the key is in the array given:

SELECT map_subset(MAP(ARRAY[1,2], ARRAY['a','b']), ARRAY[1]); -- {1->'a'}
SELECT map_subset(MAP(ARRAY[1,2], ARRAY['a','b']), ARRAY[1,3]); -- {1->'a'}
SELECT map_subset(MAP(ARRAY[1,2], ARRAY['a','b']), ARRAY[]); -- {}
SELECT map_subset(MAP(ARRAY[], ARRAY[]), ARRAY[1,2]); -- {}

map_top_n(map(K, V), n) -> map(K, V)

Truncates map items. Keeps only the top N elements by value. n must be a non-negative BIGINT value.:

SELECT map_top_n(map(ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c'], ARRAY[2, 3, 1]), 2) --- {'b' -> 3, 'a' -> 2}
SELECT map_top_n(map(ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c'], ARRAY[NULL, 3, NULL]), 2) --- {'b' -> 3, 'a' -> NULL}

map_keys(x(K, V)) -> array(K)

Returns all the keys in the map x.

map_values(x(K, V)) -> array(V)

Returns all the values in the map x.

map_zip_with(map(K, V1), map(K, V2), function(K, V1, V2, V3)) -> map(K, V3)

Merges the two given maps into a single map by applying function to the pair of values with the same key. For keys only presented in one map, NULL will be passed as the value for the missing key.

SELECT map_zip_with(MAP(ARRAY[1, 2, 3], ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c']), -- {1 -> ad, 2 -> be, 3 -> cf}
                    MAP(ARRAY[1, 2, 3], ARRAY['d', 'e', 'f']),
                    (k, v1, v2) -> concat(v1, v2));
SELECT map_zip_with(MAP(ARRAY['k1', 'k2'], ARRAY[1, 2]), -- {k1 -> ROW(1, null), k2 -> ROW(2, 4), k3 -> ROW(null, 9)}
                    MAP(ARRAY['k2', 'k3'], ARRAY[4, 9]),
                    (k, v1, v2) -> (v1, v2));
SELECT map_zip_with(MAP(ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c'], ARRAY[1, 8, 27]), -- {a -> a1, b -> b4, c -> c9}
                    MAP(ARRAY['a', 'b', 'c'], ARRAY[1, 2, 3]),
                    (k, v1, v2) -> k || CAST(v1/v2 AS VARCHAR));
