# arrayJoin function
|
|
|
|
This is a very unusual function.
|
|
|
|
Normal functions do not change a set of rows, but just change the values in each row (map).
|
|
Aggregate functions compress a set of rows (fold or reduce).
|
|
The `arrayJoin` function takes each row and generates a set of rows (unfold).
|
|
|
|
This function takes an array as an argument, and propagates the source row to multiple rows for the number of elements in the array.
|
|
All the values in columns are simply copied, except the values in the column where this function is applied; it is replaced with the corresponding array value.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
SELECT arrayJoin([1, 2, 3] AS src) AS dst, 'Hello', src
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
┌─dst─┬─\'Hello\'─┬─src─────┐
|
|
│ 1 │ Hello │ [1,2,3] │
|
|
│ 2 │ Hello │ [1,2,3] │
|
|
│ 3 │ Hello │ [1,2,3] │
|
|
└─────┴───────────┴─────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `arrayJoin` function affects all sections of the query, including the `WHERE` section. Notice the result 2, even though the subquery returned 1 row.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT sum(1) AS impressions
|
|
FROM
|
|
(
|
|
SELECT ['Istanbul', 'Berlin', 'Bobruisk'] AS cities
|
|
)
|
|
WHERE arrayJoin(cities) IN ['Istanbul', 'Berlin'];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
┌─impressions─┐
|
|
│ 2 │
|
|
└─────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A query can use multiple `arrayJoin` functions. In this case, the transformation is performed multiple times and the rows are multiplied.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT
|
|
sum(1) AS impressions,
|
|
arrayJoin(cities) AS city,
|
|
arrayJoin(browsers) AS browser
|
|
FROM
|
|
(
|
|
SELECT
|
|
['Istanbul', 'Berlin', 'Bobruisk'] AS cities,
|
|
['Firefox', 'Chrome', 'Chrome'] AS browsers
|
|
)
|
|
GROUP BY
|
|
2,
|
|
3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
┌─impressions─┬─city─────┬─browser─┐
|
|
│ 2 │ Istanbul │ Chrome │
|
|
│ 1 │ Istanbul │ Firefox │
|
|
│ 2 │ Berlin │ Chrome │
|
|
│ 1 │ Berlin │ Firefox │
|
|
│ 2 │ Bobruisk │ Chrome │
|
|
│ 1 │ Bobruisk │ Firefox │
|
|
└─────────────┴──────────┴─────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the [ARRAY JOIN](../statements/select/array-join.md) syntax in the SELECT query, which provides broader possibilities.
|
|
`ARRAY JOIN` allows you to convert multiple arrays with the same number of elements at a time.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT
|
|
sum(1) AS impressions,
|
|
city,
|
|
browser
|
|
FROM
|
|
(
|
|
SELECT
|
|
['Istanbul', 'Berlin', 'Bobruisk'] AS cities,
|
|
['Firefox', 'Chrome', 'Chrome'] AS browsers
|
|
)
|
|
ARRAY JOIN
|
|
cities AS city,
|
|
browsers AS browser
|
|
GROUP BY
|
|
2,
|
|
3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
┌─impressions─┬─city─────┬─browser─┐
|
|
│ 1 │ Istanbul │ Firefox │
|
|
│ 1 │ Berlin │ Chrome │
|
|
│ 1 │ Bobruisk │ Chrome │
|
|
└─────────────┴──────────┴─────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or you can use [Tuple](../data-types/tuple.md)
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT
|
|
sum(1) AS impressions,
|
|
(arrayJoin(arrayZip(cities, browsers)) AS t).1 AS city,
|
|
t.2 AS browser
|
|
FROM
|
|
(
|
|
SELECT
|
|
['Istanbul', 'Berlin', 'Bobruisk'] AS cities,
|
|
['Firefox', 'Chrome', 'Chrome'] AS browsers
|
|
)
|
|
GROUP BY
|
|
2,
|
|
3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
┌─impressions─┬─city─────┬─browser─┐
|
|
│ 1 │ Istanbul │ Firefox │
|
|
│ 1 │ Berlin │ Chrome │
|
|
│ 1 │ Bobruisk │ Chrome │
|
|
└─────────────┴──────────┴─────────┘
|
|
```
