Multpilcation Aggregate in Sql Server

问题:

I am trying to create Multplication aggregate function from the below sql code.

declare @Floats as table (id int,value float)

insert into @Floats values (1,1)
insert into @Floats values (2,3)
insert into @Floats values (3,6)

SELECT *
FROM   @Floats a
       CROSS apply (SELECT CASE
                             WHEN MinVal = 0 THEN 0
                             WHEN Neg % 2 = 1 THEN -1 * Exp(ABSMult)
                             ELSE Exp(ABSMult)
                           END AS mul_value
                    FROM   (SELECT
                           Sum(Log(Abs(NULLIF(Value, 0)))) AS ABSMult,
                           Sum(Sign(CASE
                                      WHEN Value < 0 THEN 1
                                      ELSE 0
                                    END))                  AS Neg,
                           Min(Abs(Value))                 AS MinVal
                            FROM   @Floats b
                            WHERE  a.id >= b.id) foo) cs 

Result

id  value   mul_value
--  -----   ---------
1   1       1
2   3       3
3   6       18

Here is the idea for function. Since we we need table type to pass table as input to function am creating one below

User defined table type

CREATE TYPE [dbo].[UDT_TEST] AS TABLE( value float ) 

Function code

CREATE FUNCTION udf_Mul(@values dbo.[UDT_TEST] readonly)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
  BEGIN
      DECLARE @mul_value FLOAT

      SELECT @mul_value=CASE
               WHEN MinVal = 0 THEN 0
               WHEN Neg % 2 = 1 THEN -1 * Exp(ABSMult)
               ELSE Exp(ABSMult)
             END 
      FROM   (SELECT
             --log of +ve row values
             Sum(Log(Abs(NULLIF(Value, 0)))) AS ABSMult,
             --count of -ve values. Even = +ve result.
             Sum(Sign(CASE
                        WHEN Value < 0 THEN 1
                        ELSE 0
                      END))                  AS Neg,
             --anything * zero = zero
             Min(Abs(Value))                 AS MinVal
              FROM   @values) foo

      RETURN @mul_value
  END 

Using the function like this.

SELECT *
FROM   @Floats a
       CROSS apply (SELECT dbo.udf_mul(value) ast
                            FROM   @Floats b
                            WHERE  a.id >= b.id)  cs 

Here the problem is the input dbo.udf_mul expects parameter to be of [dbo].[UDT_TEST] type but value column is of Float type.

Error :

Msg 206, Level 16, State 2, Line 7 Operand type clash: float is incompatible with UDT_TEST Is there any way to achieve this?

回答1:

I would not use scalar function for this type of operation. You end up with poor performance because query optimizer need to run it row-by-row without any optimalization. More info: SQL Server Functions: The Basics.

Second with float/decimal and LOG/EXP you will get approximation errors.

Third to pass data to function you can use XML like:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_Mul(@value xml)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
  BEGIN
      DECLARE @mul_value FLOAT;
      DECLARE @values AS TABLE ([value] float);

       INSERT INTO @values([value])
       SELECT [value] = t.c.value('(value)[1]', 'float')
      FROM @value.nodes('//row') AS t(c);


      SELECT @mul_value=CASE
               WHEN MinVal = 0 THEN 0
               WHEN Neg % 2 = 1 THEN -1 * Exp(ABSMult)
               ELSE Exp(ABSMult)
             END 
      FROM   (SELECT
             Sum(Log(Abs(NULLIF(Value, 0)))) AS ABSMult,
             Sum(Sign(CASE
                        WHEN Value < 0 THEN 1
                        ELSE 0
                      END))                  AS Neg,
             Min(Abs(Value))                 AS MinVal
              FROM   @values) foo

      RETURN @mul_value
  END 

and calling it:

SELECT *
FROM Floats a
CROSS APPLY (SELECT dbo.udf_mul((SELECT [value]
                                 FROM Floats b
                                 WHERE a.id >= b.id
                                 FOR XML PATH, ROOT('root')))
             AS r) as cs(r);
