Arguments
Description | |
---|---|
array_expr_1 |
An array of expressions. |
array_expr_2 |
An array of expressions. |
Return types
Returns an array of expressions.
Examples
This first example uses the function with static arrays to demonstrate the union functionality.
SELECT VALUE {
simpleUnion: SetUnion([1, 2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5, 6]),
emptyUnion: SetUnion([1, 2, 3, 4], []),
duplicatesUnion: SetUnion([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 1, 1, 1]),
unorderedUnion: SetUnion([1, 2, "A", "B"], ["A", 1])
}
[
{
"simpleUnion": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
"emptyUnion": [1,2,3,4],
"duplicatesUnion": [1,2,3,4],
"unorderedUnion": [1,2,"A","B"]
}
]
This last example uses an item that share values within multiple array properties.
[
{
"name": "Malsca coat",
"category": "seasonal-coats",
"colors": [
{
"season": "Winter",
"values": [
"Cutty Sark",
"Horizon",
"Russet",
"Fuscous"
]
},
{
"season": "Summer",
"values": [
"Fuscous",
"Horizon",
"Tacha"
]
}
]
}
]
The query returns the union of the two arrays as a new property.
SELECT
p.name,
SetUnion(p.colors[0].values, p.colors[1].values) AS allColors
FROM
products p
WHERE
p.category = "seasonal-coats"
[
{
"name": "Malsca coat",
"allColors": [
"Cutty Sark",
"Horizon",
"Russet",
"Fuscous",
"Tacha"
]
}
]
Remarks
- This function doesn't return duplicates.
- This function doesn't use the index.
