Array
Notice: Some of the examples below are referenced from ClickHouse Documentation but have been adapted and modified to work in ByConity.
array
Creates an array from the function arguments.
The arguments must be constants and have types that have the smallest common type. At least one argument must be passed, because otherwise it isn’t clear which type of array to create. That is, you can’t use this function to create an empty array (to do that, use the ‘emptyArray*’ function described above).
Syntax
array(x1, …)
Arguments
x1,...
– must be constants and have types that have the smallest common type
Returned value
- Returns an ‘Array(T)’ type result, where ‘T’ is the smallest common type out of the passed arguments.
Example
SELECT array(1,2,3);
┌─array(1, 2, 3)─┐
│ [1, 2, 3] │
└────────────────┘
arrayAll
Returns 1 if func
returns something other than 0 for all the elements in arr
. Otherwise, it returns 0.
Note that the arrayAll
is a higher-order function. You can pass a lambda function to it as the first argument.
Syntax
arrayAll([func,] arr1, …)
Arguments
func
– higher-order function which must return UInt8arr1,..

┌─no_intersect─┬─intersect─┐
│ [] │ [1] │
└──────────────┴───────────┘
arrayJoin
This is a very unusual function. Normal functions do not change a set of rows, but just change the values in each row (map). Aggregate functions compress a set of rows (fold or reduce). The ‘arrayJoin’ function takes each row and generates a set of rows (unfold).
This function takes an array as an argument, and propagates the source row to multiple rows for the number of elements in the array.
All the values in columns are simply copied, except the values in the column where this function is applied; it is replaced with the corresponding array value.
A query can use multiple arrayJoin
functions. In this case, the transformation is performed multiple times.
Note the ARRAY JOIN syntax in the SELECT query, which provides broader possibilities.
Syntax
arrayJoin(arr)
Arguments
arr
- an Array
Returned values
- Propagates the source row to multiple rows for the number of elements in the array.
Example
SELECT arrayJoin([1, 2, 3] AS src) AS dst, 'Hello', src

The array is sorted in the following way:
- At first, the source array ([1, 2, 3]) is sorted according to the result of the lambda function applied to the elements of the array. The result is an array [3, 2, 1].
- Array that is obtained on the previous step, is reversed. So, the final result is [1, 2, 3].
The lambda function can accept multiple arguments. In this case, you need to pass the arrayReverseSort
function several arrays of identical length that the arguments of lambda function will correspond to. The resulting array will consist of elements from the first input array; elements from the next input array(s) specify the sorting keys. For example:
SELECT arrayReverseSort((x, y) -> y, ['hello', 'world'], [2, 1]) as res;
┌─res────────────┐
│ [hello, world] │
└────────────────┘
In this example, the array is sorted in the following way:
- At first, the source array ([‘hello’, ‘world’]) is sorted according to the result of the lambda function applied to the elements of the arrays. The elements that are passed in the second array ([2, 1]), define the sorting keys for corresponding elements from the source array. The result is an array [‘world’, ‘hello’].
- Array that was sorted on the previous step, is reversed. So, the final result is [‘hello’, ‘world’].
Other examples are shown below.

arraySlice
Returns a slice of the array.
Syntax
arraySlice(array, offset[, length])
Arguments
array
– Array of data.offset
– Indent from the edge of the array. A positive value indicates an offset on the left, and a negative value is an indent on the right. Numbering of the array items begins with 1.length
– The length of the required slice. If you specify a negative value, the function returns an open slice[offset, array_length - length)
. If you omit the value, the function returns the slice[offset, the_end_of_array]
.
Returned value
- Slice of array.
Example
SELECT arraySlice([1, 2, NULL, 4, 5], 2, 3) AS res;
┌─res──────────┐
│ [2, ᴺᵁᴸᴸ, 4] │
└──────────────┘
Array elements set to NULL
are handled as normal values.
arraySort
Sorts the elements of the arr
array in ascending order. If the func
function is specified, sorting order is determined by the result of the func
function applied to the elements of the array. If func
accepts multiple arguments, the arraySort
function is passed several arrays that the arguments of func
will correspond to. Detailed examples are shown at the end of arraySort
description.
Note that arraySort
is a higher-order function. You can pass a lambda function to it as the first argument. In this case, sorting order is determined by the result of the lambda function applied to the elements of the array.
To improve sorting efficiency, the Schwartzian transform is used. Syntax

For each element of the source array, the lambda function returns the sorting key, that is, [1 –> -1, 2 –> -2, 3 –> -3]. Since the arraySort
function sorts the keys in ascending order, the result is [3, 2, 1]. Thus, the (x) –> -x
lambda function sets the descending order in a sorting.
The lambda function can accept multiple arguments. In this case, you need to pass the arraySort
function several arrays of identical length that the arguments of lambda function will correspond to. The resulting array will consist of elements from the first input array; elements from the next input array(s) specify the sorting keys. For example:
SELECT arraySort((x, y) -> y, ['hello', 'world'], [2, 1]) as res;
┌─res────────────┐│ [world, hello] │└────────────────┘
Here, the elements that are passed in the second array ([2, 1]) define a sorting key for the corresponding element from the source array ([‘hello’, ‘world’]), that is, [‘hello’ –> 2, ‘world’ –> 1]. Since the lambda function does not use x
, actual values of the source array do not affect the order in the result. So, ‘hello’ will be the second element in the result, and ‘world’ will be the first.
Other examples are shown below.
SELECT arraySort((x, y) -> y, [0, 1, 2], ['c', 'b', 'a']) as res;
┌─res───────┐
│ [2, 1, 0] │
└───────────┘
SELECT arraySort((x, y) -> -y, [0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 3]) as res;

arraySum
Returns the sum of elements in the source array.
If the func
function is specified, returns the sum of elements converted by this function.
Note that the arraySum
is a higher-order function. You can pass a lambda function to it as the first argument.
Syntax
arraySum([func,] arr)
Arguments
func
— higher-order function.arr
— Array.
Returned value
- The sum of the function values (or the array sum).
Type:
- for decimal numbers in source array (or for converted values, if
func
is specified) Decimal128 Float64 - for numeric unsigned UInt64
- and for numeric signed Int64
- for decimal numbers in source array (or for converted values, if
Examples
SELECT arraySum([2, 3]) AS res;

arrayUniq
If one argument is passed, it counts the number of different elements in the array.
If multiple arguments are passed, it counts the number of different tuples of elements at corresponding positions in multiple arrays.
If you want to get a list of unique items in an array, you can use arrayReduce(‘groupUniqArray’, arr)
.
Syntax
arrayUniq(arr, …)
Arguments
arr
— Array.
Examples
SELECT arrayUniq([2, 3]) AS res;
┌─res─┐

groupArrayInsertAt
Inserts a value into the array at the specified position.
Syntax
groupArrayInsertAt(default_x, size)(x, pos)
If in one query several values are inserted into the same position, the function behaves in the following ways:
- If a query is executed in a single thread, the first one of the inserted values is used.
- If a query is executed in multiple threads, the resulting value is an undetermined one of the inserted values.
Arguments
x
— Value to be inserted. Expression resulting in one of the supported data types.pos
— Position at which the specified elementx
is to be inserted. Index numbering in the array starts from zero. UInt32.default_x
— Default value for substituting in empty positions. Optional parameter. Expression resulting in the data type configured for thex
parameter. Ifdefault_x
is not defined, the default values are used.size
— Length of the resulting array. Optional parameter. When using this parameter, the default valuedefault_x
must be specified. UInt32.
Returned value
- Array with inserted values.
Example
SELECT groupArrayInsertAt(toString(number), number * 2) FROM numbers(5);
