REGR_COUNT¶

Returns the number of non-null number pairs in a group.

Syntax¶

Aggregate function

REGR_COUNT(y, x)
Copy

Window function

REGR_COUNT(y, x) OVER ( [ PARTITION BY <expr3> ] )
Copy

Arguments¶

y

The dependent variable. This must be an expression that can be evaluated to a numeric type.

x

The independent variable. This must be an expression that can be evaluated to a numeric type.

expr3

This is the optional expression used to group rows into partitions.

Important

Note the order of the arguments; the dependent variable is first.

Usage notes¶

  • DISTINCT is not supported for this function.

  • When this function is called as a window function, it does not support:

    • An ORDER BY clause within the OVER clause.

    • Explicit window frames.

Examples¶

Show the number of pairs in each group, and the number of those pairs in which neither member is NULL.

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE aggr(k INT, v DECIMAL(10,2), v2 DECIMAL(10, 2));
INSERT INTO aggr VALUES(1, 10, null);
INSERT INTO aggr VALUES(2, 10, 11), (2, 20, 22), (2, 25, null), (2, 30, 35);

SELECT k, COUNT(*), REGR_COUNT(v, v2) FROM aggr GROUP BY k;
Copy
