percentiler fra histogramdata

Først skal du deaktivere dette. Vi kan gøre det sådan her...

SELECT name,
  ARRAY[grade_poor, grade_fair, grade_good, grade_vgood]
FROM grades

 name  |   array   
-------+-----------
 arun  | {1,4,2,1}
 neha  | {3,2,1,4}
 ram   | {1,1,3,0}
 radha | {0,3,1,4}

Så skal vi indeksere i karakterer... Det gør vi med en CROSS JOIN LATERAL . Vi har 4 rækker med en matrix på 4. Vi vil have 4*4 rækker.

SELECT name, grades, gs1.x, grades[gs1.x] AS gradeqty
FROM (
  SELECT name,
    ARRAY[grade_poor, grade_fair, grade_good, grade_vgood]
  FROM grades
) AS t(name, grades)
  CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,4) AS gs1(x)
ORDER BY name, x;


 name  |  grades   | x |  gradeqty
-------+-----------+---+----------
 arun  | {1,4,2,1} | 1 |        1
 arun  | {1,4,2,1} | 2 |        4
 arun  | {1,4,2,1} | 3 |        2
 arun  | {1,4,2,1} | 4 |        1
 neha  | {3,2,1,4} | 1 |        3
 neha  | {3,2,1,4} | 2 |        2
 neha  | {3,2,1,4} | 3 |        1
 neha  | {3,2,1,4} | 4 |        4
 radha | {0,3,1,4} | 1 |        0
 radha | {0,3,1,4} | 2 |        3
 radha | {0,3,1,4} | 3 |        1
 radha | {0,3,1,4} | 4 |        4
 ram   | {1,1,3,0} | 1 |        1
 ram   | {1,1,3,0} | 2 |        1
 ram   | {1,1,3,0} | 3 |        3
 ram   | {1,1,3,0} | 4 |        0
(16 rows)

Hvad der nu er tilbage, er, at vi er nødt til at CROSS JOIN LATERAL igen for at gengive x (vores karakter), over gradeqty

SELECT name,
  gs1.x
FROM (
  SELECT name,
    ARRAY[grade_poor, grade_fair, grade_good, grade_vgood]
  FROM grades
) AS t(name, grades)
CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,4) AS gs1(x)
CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,grades[gs1.x]) AS gs2(x)
ORDER BY name, gs1.x;

 name  | x 
-------+---
 arun  | 1
 arun  | 2
 arun  | 2
 arun  | 2
 arun  | 2
 arun  | 3
 arun  | 3
 arun  | 4
 neha  | 1
 neha  | 1
 neha  | 1
 neha  | 2
 neha  | 2
 neha  | 3
 neha  | 4
 neha  | 4
 neha  | 4
 neha  | 4
 radha | 2
 radha | 2
 radha | 2
 radha | 3
 radha | 4
 radha | 4
 radha | 4
 radha | 4
 ram   | 1
 ram   | 2
 ram   | 3
 ram   | 3
 ram   | 3
(31 rows)

Nu GROUP BY name og så bruger vi en Ordered-Set Aggregate Functions percent_disc for at afslutte jobbet..

SELECT name, percentile_disc(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY gs1.x)
FROM (
  SELECT name,
    ARRAY[grade_poor, grade_fair, grade_good, grade_vgood]
  FROM grades
) AS t(name, grades)
CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,4) AS gs1(x)
CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,grades[gs1.x]) AS gs2(x)
GROUP BY name ORDER BY name;

 name  | percentile_disc 
-------+-----------------
 arun  |               2
 neha  |               2
 radha |               3
 ram   |               3
(4 rows)

Vil du gå nærmere ind i det og gøre det smukt...

SELECT name, (ARRAY['Poor', 'Fair', 'Good', 'Very Good'])[percentile_disc(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY gs1.x)]
FROM (
  SELECT name,
    ARRAY[grade_poor, grade_fair, grade_good, grade_vgood]
  FROM grades
) AS t(name, grades)
CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,4) AS gs1(x)
CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,grades[gs1.x]) AS gs2(x)
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY name;

 name  | array 
-------+-------
 arun  | Fair
 neha  | Fair
 radha | Good
 ram   | Good
(4 rows)

Vi kan få et lidt mere varieret udbud, hvis vi løfter en ny bruger.

INSERT INTO grades (name,grade_poor,grade_fair,grade_good,grade_vgood)
VALUES ('Bob', 0,0,0,100);

 name  |   array   
-------+-----------
 arun  | Fair
 Bob   | Very Good
 neha  | Fair
 radha | Good
 ram   | Good
(5 rows)
