Function | Description | Example | Result |
---|---|---|---|
GET(array, index) | Returns an element from the array by index (1-based) | GET([1, 2], 2) | 2 |
LENGTH(array) | Returns the length of the array | LENGTH([1, 2]) | 2 |
ARRAY_CONCAT(array1, array2) | Concats two arrays | ARRAY_CONCAT([1, 2], [3, 4] | [1,2,3,4] |
ARRAY_CONTAINS(array, item) | Checks if the array contains a specific element | ARRAY_CONTAINS([1, 2], 1) | 1 |
ARRAY_INDEXOF(array, item) | Returns the index(1-based) of an element if the array contains the element | ARRAY_INDEXOF([1, 2, 9], 9) | 3 |
ARRAY_SLICE(array, start[, end]) | Extracts a slice from the array by index (1-based) | ARRAY_SLICE([1, 21, 32, 4], 2, 3) | [21,32] |
ARRAY_SORT(array) | Sorts elements in the array in ascending order | ARRAY_SORT([1, 4, 3, 2]) | [1,2,3,4] |
ARRAY_<aggr>(array) | Aggregates elements in the array with an aggregate function (sum, count, avg, min, max, any) | ARRAY_SUM([1, 2, 3, 4] | 10 |
ARRAY_UNIQUE(array) | Counts unique elements in the array (except NULL) | ARRAY_UNIQUE([1, 2, 3, 3, 4]) | 4 |
ARRAY_DISTINCT(array) | Removes all duplicates and NULLs from the array without preserving the original order | ARRAY_DISTINCT([1, 2, 2, 4]) | [1,2,4] |
ARRAY_PREPEND(item, array) | Prepends an element to the array | ARRAY_PREPEND(1, [3, 4]) | [1,3,4] |
ARRAY_APPEND(array, item) | Appends an element to the array | ARRAY_APPEND([3, 4], 5) | [3,4,5] |
ARRAY_REMOVE_FIRST(array) | Removes the first element from the array | ARRAY_REMOVE_FIRST([1, 2, 3]) | [2,3] |
ARRAY_REMOVE_LAST(array) | Removes the last element from the array | ARRAY_REMOVE_LAST([1, 2, 3]) | [1,2] |
note
ARRAY_SORT(array) can accept two optional parameters, order
and nullposition
, which can be specified through the syntax ARRAY_SORT(array, order, nullposition).
order
specifies the sorting order as either ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC). Defaults to ASC.nullposition
determines the position of NULL values in the sorting result, at the beginning (NULLS FIRST) or at the end (NULLS LAST) of the sorting output. Defaults to NULLS FIRST.
