## initializeAggregation {#initializeaggregation}
|
|
|
|
Initializes aggregation for your input rows. It is intended for the functions with the suffix `State`.
|
|
Use it for tests or to process columns of types `AggregateFunction` and `AggregationgMergeTree`.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
initializeAggregation (aggregate_function, column_1, column_2);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Parameters**
|
|
|
|
- `aggregate_function` — Name of the aggregation function. The state of this function — the creating one. [String](../../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md#string).
|
|
- `column_n` — The column to translate it into the function as it's argument. [String](../../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md#string).
|
|
|
|
**Returned value(s)**
|
|
|
|
Returns the result of the aggregation for your input rows. The return type will be the same as the return type of function, that `initializeAgregation` takes as first argument.
|
|
For example for functions with the suffix `State` the return type will be `AggregateFunction`.
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
Query:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT uniqMerge(state) FROM (SELECT initializeAggregation('uniqState', number % 3) AS state FROM system.numbers LIMIT 10000);
|
|
```
|
|
Result:
|
|
|
|
┌─uniqMerge(state)─┐
