I would like to write a Postgres function which takes various stats from other tables and combines the results into a single row.
e.g.
select count(*) as acount from tableA
select count(*) as bcount from tableB
select count(*) as ccount from tableC
returning
acount, bcount, ccount as a single record
Obviously the "count" functions listed above are a lot more complex than that, and may even be different amounts of counts for each table.
So ideally is it possible to store them as variables and then build a record from the variables ?
CodePudding user response:
No need for variables, you can just combine everything into one select statement with subqueries:
select
(select count(*) from tableA) as acount,
(select count(*) from tableB) as bcount,
(select count(*) from tableC) as ccount;
CodePudding user response:
You can use cross join
select * from
(select count(*) as acount from tableA) as a
,(select count(*) as bcount from tableB) as b
,(select count(*) as ccount from tableC) as c
CodePudding user response:
You can also create a new type that consist of 3 bigint type.
CREATE TYPE mutli_count AS (
_countt1 bigINT,
_countt2 bigint,
_countt3 bigINT
);
select(
(select count(*) from country),
(select count(*) from states),
(select count(*) from cities))::mutli_count;
