## toTypeName(x) {#totypenamex}
Returns a string containing the type name of the passed argument.
If `NULL` is passed to the function as input, then it returns the `Nullable(Nothing)` type, which corresponds to an internal `NULL` representation in ClickHouse.
2020-03-18 18:43:51 +00:00
## blockSize() {#function-blocksize}

2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
## materialize(x) {#materializex}
Turns a constant into a full column containing just one value.
In ClickHouse, full columns and constants are represented differently in memory. Functions work differently for constant arguments and normal arguments (different code is executed), although the result is almost always the same. This function is for debugging this behavior.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
## ignore(…) {#ignore}

## transform {#transform}
Transforms a value according to the explicitly defined mapping of some elements to other ones.
There are two variations of this function:
### transform(x, array\_from, array\_to, default) {#transformx-array-from-array-to-default}
`x` What to transform.
`array_from` Constant array of values for converting.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
`array_to` Constant array of values to convert the values in from to.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
`default` Which value to use if x is not equal to any of the values in from.
`array_from` and `array_to` Arrays of the same size.
Types:
`transform(T, Array(T), Array(U), U) -> U`
`T` and `U` can be numeric, string, or Date or DateTime types.
Where the same letter is indicated (T or U), for numeric types these might not be matching types, but types that have a common type.
2019-05-05 17:38:05 +00:00
For example, the first argument can have the Int64 type, while the second has the Array(UInt16) type.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
If the x value is equal to one of the elements in the array\_from array, it returns the existing element (that is numbered the same) from the array\_to array. Otherwise, it returns default. If there are multiple matching elements in array\_from, it returns one of the matches.
Example:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` sql
SELECT
2018-03-25 02:04:22 +00:00
transform(SearchEngineID, [2, 3], ['Yandex', 'Google'], 'Other') AS title,
count() AS c
FROM test.hits
WHERE SearchEngineID != 0
GROUP BY title
ORDER BY c DESC
```

```
### transform(x, array\_from, array\_to) {#transformx-array-from-array-to}
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
Differs from the first variation in that the default argument is omitted.
If the x value is equal to one of the elements in the array\_from array, it returns the matching element (that is numbered the same) from the array\_to array. Otherwise, it returns x.
Types:
`transform(T, Array(T), Array(T)) -> T`
Example:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` sql
SELECT
transform(domain(Referer), ['yandex.ru', 'google.ru', 'vk.com'], ['www.yandex', 'example.com']) AS s,
count() AS c
FROM test.hits
GROUP BY domain(Referer)
ORDER BY count() DESC
LIMIT 10

If you make a subquery with ORDER BY and call the function from outside the subquery, you can get the expected result.
2019-12-28 23:11:02 +00:00
**Parameters**
- `column` — A column name or scalar expression.
2020-04-03 13:23:32 +00:00

- `default_value` — Optional. The value to be returned if offset goes beyond the scope of the block. Type of data blocks affected.
2019-11-12 08:01:46 +00:00
**Returned values**
- Value for `column` in `offset` distance from current row if `offset` value is not outside block bounds.
- Default value for `column` if `offset` value is outside block bounds. If `default_value` is given, then it will be used.
2019-11-12 08:01:46 +00:00
Type: type of data blocks affected or default value type.

## runningDifference(x) {#other_functions-runningdifference}
Calculates the difference between successive row values in the data block.
Returns 0 for the first row and the difference from the previous row for each subsequent row.
The result of the function depends on the affected data blocks and the order of data in the block.
If you make a subquery with ORDER BY and call the function from outside the subquery, you can get the expected result.
Example:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` sql
SELECT
EventID,
EventTime,
runningDifference(EventTime) AS delta
FROM
(
SELECT
EventID,
EventTime
FROM events
WHERE EventDate = '2016-11-24'
ORDER BY EventTime ASC
LIMIT 5
)
```
