Semi-structured Data Functions (Array/Object)

ARRAY_CONSTRUCTΒΆ

Returns an array constructed from zero, one, or more inputs.

See also:

ARRAY_CONSTRUCT_COMPACT

SyntaxΒΆ

ARRAY_CONSTRUCT( [ <expr1> ] [ , <expr2> [ , ... ] ] )
Copy

ArgumentsΒΆ

The arguments are values (or expressions that evaluate to values). The arguments do not all need to be of the same data type.

ReturnsΒΆ

The data type of the returned value is ARRAY.

Usage NotesΒΆ

  • The data types of the inputs may vary.

  • If the function is called with N arguments, the size of the resulting array will be N.

  • In many contexts, you can use an ARRAY constant (also called an ARRAY literal) instead of the ARRAY_CONSTRUCT function.

ExamplesΒΆ

Construct a basic array consisting of numeric data types:

SELECT ARRAY_CONSTRUCT(10, 20, 30);
+-----------------------------+
| ARRAY_CONSTRUCT(10, 20, 30) |
|-----------------------------|
| [                           |
|   10,                       |
|   20,                       |
|   30                        |
| ]                           |
+-----------------------------+
Copy

Construct a basic array consisting of different data types:

SELECT ARRAY_CONSTRUCT(null, 'hello', 3::double, 4, 5);
+-------------------------------------------------+
| ARRAY_CONSTRUCT(NULL, 'HELLO', 3::DOUBLE, 4, 5) |
|-------------------------------------------------|
| [                                               |
|   undefined,                                    |
|   "hello",                                      |
|   3.000000000000000e+00,                        |
|   4,                                            |
|   5                                             |
| ]                                               |
+-------------------------------------------------+
Copy

Construct an empty array:

SELECT ARRAY_CONSTRUCT();
+-------------------+
| ARRAY_CONSTRUCT() |
|-------------------|
| []                |
