Hvordan genererer man flere tidsserier i én sql-forespørgsel?

Løsning 1. Enkel forespørgsel med et samlet.

Den enkleste og hurtigste måde at få det forventede resultat på. Det er nemt at parse sales kolonne i et klientprogram.

select item, string_agg(coalesce(sales, 0)::text, ',') sales
from (
    select distinct item_id item, doy
    from generate_series (1, 10) doy  -- change 10 to given n
    cross join entry_daily
    ) sub
left join entry_daily on item_id = item and day_of_year = doy
group by 1
order by 1;

 item |        sales         
------+----------------------
 A1   | 20,0,0,0,0,0,9,0,0,0
 A2   | 11,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
(2 rows)

Løsning 2. Dynamisk skabt visning.

Baseret på løsning 1 med array_agg() i stedet for string_agg() . Funktionen opretter en visning med et givet antal kolonner.

create or replace function create_items_view(view_name text, days int)
returns void language plpgsql as $$
declare
    list text;
begin
    select string_agg(format('s[%s] "%s"', i::text, i::text), ',')
    into list
    from generate_series(1, days) i;

    execute(format($f$
        drop view if exists %s;
        create view %s as select item, %s
        from (
            select item, array_agg(coalesce(sales, 0)) s
            from (
                select distinct item_id item, doy
                from generate_series (1, %s) doy
                cross join entry_daily
                ) sub
            left join entry_daily on item_id = item and day_of_year = doy
            group by 1
            order by 1
        ) q
        $f$, view_name, view_name, list, days)
    );
end $$;

Brug:

select create_items_view('items_view_10', 10);

select * from items_view_10;

 item | 1  | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 
------+----+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+----
 A1   | 20 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 0 |  0
 A2   | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0
(2 rows)

Løsning 3. Krydstabel.

Let at bruge, men meget ubehageligt med det større antal kolonner på grund af behovet for at definere rækkeformatet.

create extension if not exists tablefunc;

select * from crosstab (
    'select item_id, day_of_year, sales
    from entry_daily
    order by 1',
    'select i from generate_series (1, 10) i'
) as ct 
(item_id text, "1" int, "2" int, "3" int, "4" int, "5" int, "6" int, "7" int, "8" int, "9" int, "10" int);

 item_id | 1  | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 
---------+----+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+----
 A1      | 20 |   |   |   |   |   | 9 |   |   |   
 A2      | 11 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   
(2 rows)
