집합 산술 연산자

SET, MULTISET, LIST

컬렉션 타입(SET, MULTISET, LIST (= SEQUENCE)) 데이터에 대해 합집합, 차집합, 교집합을 구하기 위해서 각각 +, -, * 연산자를 사용할 수 있다.

value_expression  set_arithmetic_operator value_expression

value_expression :
• collection value
• NULL

set_arithmetic_operator :
• + (합집합)
• - (차집합)
• * (교집합)

다음은 컬렉션 타입이 피연산자인 경우, 연산별 결과 데이터 타입을 나타낸 표이다.

피연산자의 타입별 결과 데이터 타입

  SET MULTISET LIST
SET + , - , * : SET + , - , * : MULTISET + , - , * : MULTISET
MULTISET + , - , * : MULTISET + , - , * : MULTISET + , - , * : MULTISET
LIST (=SEQUENCE) +, -, * : MULTISET +, -, * : MULTISET + : LIST -, * : MULTISET

다음은 컬렉션 타입을 가지고 산술 연산을 수행하는 예이다.

SELECT ((CAST ({3,3,3,2,2,1} AS SET))+(CAST ({4,3,3,2} AS MULTISET)));
 (( cast({3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1} as set))+( cast({4, 3, 3, 2} as multiset)))

변수에 컬렉션 값 할당

컬렉션 값을 변수에 할당하기 위해서는 외부 질의가 하나의 행만을 반환해야 한다.

다음은 컬렉션 값을 변수에 할당하는 방법을 나타내는 예제이다. 다음과 같이 외부 질의는 하나의 행만을 반환해야 한다.

CREATE TABLE people (
    ssn VARCHAR(10),
    name VARCHAR(255)
);

INSERT INTO people
VALUES ('1234', 'Ken'), ('5678', 'Dan'), ('9123', 'Jones');

SELECT SET(SELECT name
FROM people
WHERE ssn in {'1234', '5678'})
TO :name_group;
