  1. To achieve the desired aggregation of action strings in Presto SQL, you can follow a step-by-step approach that handles variable string lengths and aligns them correctly from the right (most recent day). Below is a comprehensive solution that:
  2.  
  3. 1. **Reverses** each action string to align the days from left to right.
  4. 2. **Pads** each reversed string with `'0'` to match the maximum length among all strings.
  5. 3. **Splits** the padded strings into individual characters.
  6. 4. **Aggregates** the characters by position, prioritizing `'1'` over `'0'`.
  7. 5. **Reassembles** the aggregated characters into the final aggregated string and reverses it back to the original order.
  8.  
  9. ### Step-by-Step Solution
  10.  
  11. Assuming you have a table named `actions` with a column `action_str` that contains the action strings, here's how you can perform the aggregation:
  12.  
  13. ```sql
  14. WITH
  15.  -- Step 1: Reverse each action string to align days from left to right
  16.  reversed AS (
  17.    SELECT
  18.      reverse(action_str) AS reversed_str
  19.    FROM actions
  20.  ),
  21.  
  22.  -- Step 2: Determine the maximum length among all reversed strings
  23.  max_length AS (
  24.    SELECT
  25.      max(length(reversed_str)) AS max_len
  26.    FROM reversed
  27.  ),
  28.  
  29.  -- Step 3: Pad each reversed string with '0's to match the maximum length
  30.  padded AS (
  31.    SELECT
  32.      reversed_str || repeat('0', max_length.max_len - length(reversed_str)) AS padded_str
  33.    FROM reversed, max_length
  34.  ),
  35.  
  36.  -- Step 4: Generate a sequence of positions from 1 to max_len
  37.  positions AS (
  38.    SELECT
  39.      sequence(1, max_length.max_len) AS pos_seq
  40.    FROM max_length
  41.  ),
  42.  
  43.  -- Step 5: Explode each padded string into individual characters with their positions
  44.  exploded AS (
  45.    SELECT
  46.      pos,
  47.      substr(padded_str, pos, 1) AS char
  48.    FROM padded
  49.    CROSS JOIN UNNEST((SELECT pos_seq FROM positions)) AS t(pos)
  50.  ),
  51.  
  52.  -- Step 6: Aggregate the characters by position, prioritizing '1' over '0'
  53.  aggregated AS (
  54.    SELECT
  55.      pos,
  56.      max(char) AS max_char
  57.    FROM exploded
  58.    GROUP BY pos
  59.    ORDER BY pos
  60.  )
  61.  
  62. -- Step 7: Concatenate the aggregated characters and reverse the string back to original order
  63. SELECT
  64.  reverse(array_join(array_agg(max_char ORDER BY pos), '')) AS aggregated_action_str
  65. FROM aggregated;
  66. ```
  67.  
  68. ### Explanation of Each Step
  69.  
  70. 1. **Reverse the Strings**: By reversing the strings, the most recent day aligns to the left, making it easier to handle variable lengths.
  71.  
  72. 2. **Determine Maximum Length**: Find the longest string to know how much padding is needed for shorter strings.
  73.  
  74. 3. **Pad the Strings**: Append `'0'` to the end of each reversed string so that all strings have the same length. This ensures proper alignment when aggregating.
  75.  
  76. 4. **Generate Positions**: Create a sequence of numbers representing each position in the string (i.e., each day).
  77.  
  78. 5. **Explode Strings**: Break down each padded string into individual characters along with their respective positions.
  79.  
  80. 6. **Aggregate Characters**: For each position, determine the maximum character (`'1'` if any string has `'1'`, otherwise `'0'`). This prioritizes actions that happened (`'1'`) over those that did not (`'0'`).
  81.  
  82. 7. **Reassemble the Final String**: Concatenate the aggregated characters back into a single string and reverse it to restore the original day order.
  83.  
  84. ### Example
  85.  
  86. Suppose you have the following `actions` table:
  87.  
  88. | action_str |
  89. |------------|
  90. | "1010"     |
  91. | "011"      |
  92. | "1"         |
  93.  
  94. **After Reversing and Padding:**
  95.  
  96. | reversed_str | padded_str |
  97. |--------------|------------|
  98. | "0101"       | "0101"     |
  99. | "110"        | "1100"     |
  100. | "1"          | "1000"     |
  101.  
  102. **Aggregated by Position:**
  103.  
  104. | pos | max_char |
  105. |-----|----------|
  106. | 1   | '1'      |
  107. | 2   | '1'      |
  108. | 3   | '0'      |
  109. | 4   | '1'      |
  110.  
  111. **Final Aggregated String:**
  112.  
  113. - Aggregated characters: `'1'`, `'1'`, `'0'`, `'1'`
  114. - Concatenated string: `"1101"`
  115. - Reversed back: `"1011"`
  116.  
  117. ### Final Output
  118.  
  119. The final output will be a single aggregated string that prioritizes `'1'` over `'0'` for each day, correctly aligned from the most recent day.
  120.  
  121. ```sql
  122. SELECT
  123.  reverse(array_join(array_agg(max_char ORDER BY pos), '')) AS aggregated_action_str
  124. FROM aggregated;
  125. ```
  126.  
  127. This will return:
  128.  
  129. | aggregated_action_str |
  130. |-----------------------|
  131. | "1011"                |
  132.  
  133. ### Notes
  134.  
  135. - **Performance Considerations**: For large datasets, ensure that the operations, especially `UNNEST` and `array_agg`, are optimized and consider indexing if necessary.
  136. - **Edge Cases**: Handle cases where some strings might be empty or contain invalid characters by adding appropriate validations.
  137.  
  138. Feel free to adjust the table and column names as per your actual database schema.
