- 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:
- 1. **Reverses** each action string to align the days from left to right.
- 2. **Pads** each reversed string with `'0'` to match the maximum length among all strings.
- 3. **Splits** the padded strings into individual characters.
- 4. **Aggregates** the characters by position, prioritizing `'1'` over `'0'`.
- 5. **Reassembles** the aggregated characters into the final aggregated string and reverses it back to the original order.
- ### Step-by-Step Solution
- 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:
- ```sql
- WITH
- -- Step 1: Reverse each action string to align days from left to right
- reversed AS (
- SELECT
- reverse(action_str) AS reversed_str
- FROM actions
- ),
- -- Step 2: Determine the maximum length among all reversed strings
- max_length AS (
- SELECT
- max(length(reversed_str)) AS max_len
- FROM reversed
- ),
- -- Step 3: Pad each reversed string with '0's to match the maximum length
- padded AS (
- SELECT
- reversed_str || repeat('0', max_length.max_len - length(reversed_str)) AS padded_str
- FROM reversed, max_length
- ),
- -- Step 4: Generate a sequence of positions from 1 to max_len
- positions AS (
- SELECT
- sequence(1, max_length.max_len) AS pos_seq
- FROM max_length
- ),
- -- Step 5: Explode each padded string into individual characters with their positions
- exploded AS (
- SELECT
- pos,
- substr(padded_str, pos, 1) AS char
- FROM padded
- CROSS JOIN UNNEST((SELECT pos_seq FROM positions)) AS t(pos)
- ),
- -- Step 6: Aggregate the characters by position, prioritizing '1' over '0'
- aggregated AS (
- SELECT
- pos,
- max(char) AS max_char
- FROM exploded
- GROUP BY pos
- ORDER BY pos
- )
- -- Step 7: Concatenate the aggregated characters and reverse the string back to original order
- SELECT
- reverse(array_join(array_agg(max_char ORDER BY pos), '')) AS aggregated_action_str
- FROM aggregated;
- ```
- ### Explanation of Each Step
- 1. **Reverse the Strings**: By reversing the strings, the most recent day aligns to the left, making it easier to handle variable lengths.
- 2. **Determine Maximum Length**: Find the longest string to know how much padding is needed for shorter strings.
- 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.
- 4. **Generate Positions**: Create a sequence of numbers representing each position in the string (i.e., each day).
- 5. **Explode Strings**: Break down each padded string into individual characters along with their respective positions.
- 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'`).
- 7. **Reassemble the Final String**: Concatenate the aggregated characters back into a single string and reverse it to restore the original day order.
- ### Example
- Suppose you have the following `actions` table:
- | action_str |
- |------------|
- | "1010" |
- | "011" |
- | "1" |
- **After Reversing and Padding:**
- | reversed_str | padded_str |
- |--------------|------------|
- | "0101" | "0101" |
- | "110" | "1100" |
- | "1" | "1000" |
- **Aggregated by Position:**
- | pos | max_char |
- |-----|----------|
- | 1 | '1' |
- | 2 | '1' |
- | 3 | '0' |
- | 4 | '1' |
- **Final Aggregated String:**
- - Aggregated characters: `'1'`, `'1'`, `'0'`, `'1'`
- - Concatenated string: `"1101"`
- - Reversed back: `"1011"`
- ### Final Output
- The final output will be a single aggregated string that prioritizes `'1'` over `'0'` for each day, correctly aligned from the most recent day.
- ```sql
- SELECT
- reverse(array_join(array_agg(max_char ORDER BY pos), '')) AS aggregated_action_str
- FROM aggregated;
- ```
- This will return:
- | aggregated_action_str |
- |-----------------------|
- | "1011" |
- ### Notes
- - **Performance Considerations**: For large datasets, ensure that the operations, especially `UNNEST` and `array_agg`, are optimized and consider indexing if necessary.
- - **Edge Cases**: Handle cases where some strings might be empty or contain invalid characters by adding appropriate validations.
- Feel free to adjust the table and column names as per your actual database schema.
