The following mathematical functions are supported:
CONV
LOG10
LOG2
RAND
TRUNCATE
Description
Convert numbers between different number bases.
Syntax
conv( p_num text, p_from_base int4, p_to_base int4) RETURNS text
General rules
Converts numbers between different number bases.
Returns a string representation of the number N, converted from base from_base to base to_base. Returns NULL if any argument is NULL. The argument N is interpreted as an integer, but may be specified as an integer or a string.
The minimum base is 2 and the maximum base is 36. If from_base is a negative number, N is regarded as a signed number. Otherwise, N is treated as unsigned. CONV() works with 64-bit precision.
Example
In the following example, '123456' converted from base 10 to base 16 is 1E240.
select conv('123456', 10, 16);
conv
-------
1E240
(1 row)
Description
return the base-10 logarithm of the argument.
Syntax
log10(p1 numeric) RETURNS numeric

Example
In the following example, return the base-2 logarithm of the argument 64.
select log2(64);
log2
--------------------
6.0000000000000000
(1 row)
Description
Returns a random floating-point value v in the range 0 and 1.0.
Syntax
rand(p_seed int default null) RETURNS double precision
General rules
With a constant initializer argument, the seed is initialized once when the statement is prepared, prior to execution.
With a nonconstant initializer argument (such as a column name), the seed is initialized with the value for each invocation of RAND().
One implication of this behavior is that for equal argument values, RAND(N) returns the same value each time, and thus produces a repeatable sequence of column values.
RAND() in a WHERE clause is evaluated for every row (when selecting from one table) or combination of rows (when selecting from a multiple-table join).
Example
In the following example, the sequence of values produced by RAND(123) is the same both places it occurs.
select rand(123);
rand

TRUNCATE(NUMERIC,INTEGER D) returns NUMERIC
General rules
Returns the number X, truncated to D decimal places.
If D is 0, the result has no decimal point or fractional part.
D can be negative to cause D digits left of the decimal point of the value X to become zero.
Example
In the following example, the result of "1.223" truncated to 1 decimal places is returned.
SELECT TRUNCATE(1.223,1);
truncate

If all arguments to FIELD() are strings, all arguments are compared as strings. If all arguments are numbers, they are compared as numbers. Otherwise, the arguments are compared as double.
If str is NULL, the return value is 0 because NULL fails equality comparison with any value. FIELD() is the complement of ELT().
Example
In the following example,Index (position) of 'Bb' in 'Aa', 'Bb', 'Cc', 'Dd', 'Ff' 2 is returned.
select field('Bb', 'Aa', 'Bb', 'Cc', 'Dd', 'Ff');

Returns datetime_expr2 − datetime_expr1, where datetime_expr1 and datetime_expr2 are date or datetime expressions.
One expression may be a date and the other a datetime; a date value is treated as a datetime having the time part '00:00:00' where necessary.
The unit for the result (an integer) is given by the unit argument. The unit parameters support MICROSECOND, SECOND, MINUTE,
HOUR, DAY, WEEK,
MONTH, QUARTER and YEAR, with or without quotes.
Example
In the following example, Returns '1911-11-11 11:23:45.123456' − '2021-12-12 12:12:12.654321'::timestamp, the result (an integer) is given by MICROSECOND.

Description
Return the date argument converted to days.
Syntax
to_days(p_date timestamp) RETURNS bigint
to_days(p_date timestamptz) RETURNS bigint
to_days( p_date text) RETURNS bigint
to_days( p_date text, p_format text) RETURNS bigint
to_days(p_date bigint) RETURNS bigint
General rules
Given a date date, returns a day number (the number of days since year 0).
TO_DAYS() is not intended for use with values that precede the advent of the Gregorian calendar (1582), because it does not take into account the days that were lost when the calendar was changed. For dates before 1582 (and possibly a later year in other locales), results from this function are not reliable.
Example
In the following example, return the date argument '1111-11-11' converted to days 406098.
select to_days('1111-11-11');
to_days
---------
406098
(1 row)
Description
Return the date or datetime argument converted to seconds since Year 0.
Syntax
to_seconds(p_date timestamp) RETURNS bigint
to_seconds(p_date timestamptz) RETURNS bigint
General rules
Given a date or datetime expr, returns the number of seconds since the year 0. If expr is not a valid date or datetime value, returns NULL.
Like TO_DAYS(), TO_SECONDS() is not intended for use with values that precede the advent of the Gregorian calendar (1582), because it does not take into account the days that were lost when the calendar was changed. For dates before 1582 (and possibly a later year in other locales), results from this function are not reliable.
Example
In the following example, Return the date or datetime argument '2009-11-29' converted to seconds 63426672000 since Year 0.
select to_seconds('2009-11-29'::timestamp);
to_seconds
-------------

Syntax
JSON_EXTRACT(json_doc jsonb, path jsonpath) RETURNS jsonb
General rules
The return value consists of all values matched by the path
arguments, the data type is jsonb.
If it is possible that those arguments could return multiple values,
the matched values are autowrapped as an array, in the order
corresponding to the paths that produced them. Otherwise,
the return value is the single matched value.
Returns NULL if any argument is NULL or no paths locate a value in the document.
An error occurs if the json_doc argument is not a valid JSON document or any path argument is not a valid path expression.
Example

(1 row)
Description
Indicates by returning true or false whether a given candidate JSON document is contained within a target JSON document.
Syntax
JSON_CONTAINS(json_doc jsonb, json_val jsonb, path jsonpath) RETURNS bool
General rules
Returns NULL if any argument is NULL, or if the path argument does not identify a section of the target document.
An error occurs if target or candidate is not a valid JSON document.
To check only whether any data exists at the path, use JSON_CONTAINS_PATH() instead.
Example
SELECT JSON_CONTAINS('{"a": 111, "b": 222, "c": {"d": 4444}}', '111', '$.a');

(1 row)
Description
Returns true or false to indicate whether a JSON document contains data at a given path or paths.
Syntax
JSON_CONTAINS_PATH(json_doc jsonb, one_or_all text, variadic jsonpath[]) RETURNS bool
General rules
The return value is false if no specified path exists within the document. Otherwise, the return value depends on the one_or_all argument:
'one' : true if at least one path exists within the document, false otherwise.
'all' : true if all paths exist within the document, false otherwise.
An error occurs if the json_doc argument is not a valid JSON document, any path argument is not a valid path expression, or one_or_all is not 'one' or 'all'.
To check for a specific value at a path, use JSON_CONTAINS() instead.
Example
SELECT JSON_CONTAINS_PATH('{"a": 111, "b": 222, "c": {"d": 4444}}', 'one', '$.a', '$.z');

(1 row)
Description
Provides pretty-printing of JSON values similar to that implemented in PHP and by other languages and database systems.
Syntax
JSON_PRETTY(json_doc jsonb) RETURNS text
General rules
The data type of return value is text.
The value supplied must be a JSON value or a valid string representation of a JSON value. Extraneous whitespaces and newlines present in this value have no effect on the output.
For a NULL value, the function returns NULL. If the value is not a JSON document, or if it cannot be parsed as one, the function fails with an error.
Example
SELECT JSON_PRETTY('{"a":{"b":{"z":1},"c":[5,{"z":2}],"z":3}, "z":4}');

Description
Removes data from a JSON document and returns the result.
Syntax
JSON_REMOVE(jsonb, jsonpath) RETURNS jsonb
General rules
Removes data from a JSON document and returns the result. Returns NULL if any argument is NULL.
An error occurs if the jsonb argument is not a valid JSON document or any path argument is not a valid path expression or is $ or contains a * or ** wildcard.
It is not an error if the element to be removed does not exist in the document; in that case, the path does not affect the document.
Example
SELECT JSON_REMOVE('{"a": 1, "b": [1,2,3], "c": {"d": 4}}', '$.c.d');
json_remove
-----------------------------------
{"a": 1, "b": [1, 2, 3], "c": {}}

Different from MySQL, when accessing a JSON object through period
., if the object name is not enclosed in double
quotes and lt is an valid ECMAScript identifier name with some special
characters (like $), LightDB will prompt an error.
SELECT JSON_REMOVE('{"a": 1, "b": [1,2,3], "c": {"d": 4}}', '$.$z');
Description
Inserts data into a JSON document and returns the result.
Syntax
JSON_INSERT(jsonb, jsonpath, anyelement) RETURNS jsonb
JSON_INSERT(jsonb, jsonpath, text) RETURNS jsonb
General rules
Inserts data into a JSON document and returns the result. Returns NULL if any argument is NULL.
An error occurs if the jsonb argument is not a valid JSON document or any path argument is not a valid path expression or contains a * or ** wildcard.
A path-value pair for an existing path in the document is ignored and does not overwrite the existing document value. A path-value pair for a nonexisting path in the document adds the value to the document.
Example
SELECT JSON_INSERT('{ "a": 1, "b": [2, 3]}', '$.a', 10);
json_insert
-----------------------
{"a": 1, "b": [2, 3]}

Syntax
JSON_REPLACE(jsonb, jsonpath, anyelement) RETURNS jsonb
JSON_REPLACE(jsonb, jsonpath, text) RETURNS jsonb
General rules
Replaces existing values in a JSON document and returns the result. Returns NULL if any argument is NULL.
An error occurs if the jsonb argument is not a valid JSON document or any path argument is not a valid path expression or contains a * or ** wildcard.
A path-value pair for an existing path in the document overwrites the existing document value with the new value. A path-value pair for a nonexisting path in the document is ignored and has no effect.
Example

The following functions for making comparisons are supported:
IF
Description
If expr1 is TRUE, IF() returns expr2. Otherwise, it returns expr3.
Syntax
IF(expr1,expr2,expr3)
General rules
If only one of expr2 or expr3 is explicitly NULL, the result type of the IF() function is "text".
If one of expr2 and expr3 is a string, the result type of the IF() function is "text", otherwise it is "numeric".
The following data types can be used in expr2 and expr3:
CHAR
VARCHAR
TEXT
INTEGER
BIGINT
SMALLINT
NUMERIC
REAL
DOUBLE PRECISION
BOOLEAN
TIMESTAMPTZ
Example
In the following example, 3 is returned because the value of 1 > 2 is false.
SELECT IF(1>2,2,3);
if
----
3
(1 row)
The following aggregation functions are supported:
ANY_VALUE
GROUP_CONCAT
Description
For compatibility with MySQL mode non ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY syntax behavior of group by in by mode.
Syntax
ANY_VALUE(anyelement)
General rules
This function is useful for in MySQL compatible GROUP BY queries when the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY SQL mode is enabled, for cases when MySQL rejects a query that you know is valid for reasons that MySQL cannot determine, Default ANY_VALUE will return the first line causing ambiguity. The function return value and type are the same as the return value and type of its argument.
Note that this behavior is only a nonstandard syntax compatible with MySQL. It is used to ensure that the execution in LightDB will not report errors, but the results cannot be guaranteed to be completely consistent with MySQL. It is not recommended to use this feature. Please use the standard syntax format.
Example
In the following example, if id is a nonindexed column, the following query fails:
select co1, co2, max(co3) from t1 group by id;
ERROR: column "t1.co1" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 1: select co1, co2, max(co3) from t1 group by id;
^
Use ANY_VALUE() to refer to co1 and co2:
select any_value(co1) as co1, any_value(co2) as co2, max(co3) from t1 group by id;
co1 | co2 | max
-----+-----+-----
6 | 9 | 30
4 | 5 | 5
3 | 3 | 4
2 | 3 | 4
(4 rows)
Description
Returns a concatenated, delimited list of string values.
Syntax
GROUP_CONCAT( [DISTINCT] column_name1 [ORDER BY {unsigned_integer | column_name2 | expr} [ASC | DESC] [SEPARATOR delimiter TEXT]) returns TEXT
General rules
This function returns a string result with the concatenated non-NULL values from a group.
It returns NULL if there are no non-NULL values.
To sort values in the result, use the ORDER BY clause.To sort in reverse order, add the DESC (descending) keyword to the name of the column you are sorting by in the ORDER BY clause. The default is ascending order; this may be specified explicitly using the ASC keyword.
To eliminate duplicate values, use the DISTINCT clause.
The default separator between values in a group is comma (,). To specify a separator explicitly, use SEPARATOR followed by the string literal value that should be inserted between group values. To eliminate the separator altogether, specify SEPARATOR ''.
Example
In the following example, the result with values of column col1 in table t delimited by ':' is returned.
select GROUP_CONCAT(col1 separator ':') from (values('BBBB',1),('AAAA',1),('CCCC',2)) as t(col1 ,col2) group by col2;
group_concat
--------------
BBBB:AAAA
CCCC

The following System Information functions are supported:
DATABASE
Description
Synonym for current_schema(). The concept of schema is similar to that of database in MySQL. You can specify the current schema by setting the search_path.
Syntax
DATABASE() returns TEXT
General rules
Returns the name of the schema that is first in the search path (or a null value if the search path is empty).
Like mysql,This is the schema that will be used for any tables or other named objects that are created without specifying a target schema.
Example
In the following example, current schema is lightdb.
select database();
database

The following Miscellaneous Functions are supported:
BIN_TO_UUID
COMPRESS
UNCOMPRESS
UUID
UUID_TO_BIN
Description
Convert binary UUID to string.
Syntax
bin_to_uuid(p_uuid bytea, swap_flag int4 default 0) RETURNS uuid
General rules
BIN_TO_UUID() is the inverse of UUID_TO_BIN(). It converts a binary UUID to a string UUID and returns the result. The binary value should be a UUID as a VARBINARY(16) value.
The return value is a utf8 string of five hexadecimal numbers separated by dashes. (For details about this format, see the UUID() function description.) If the UUID argument is NULL, the return value is NULL. If any argument is invalid, an error occurs.
Example
In the following example, Convert binary UUID '\x0768a47dd355372b4926ee668b6cb443' to string '0768a47d-d355-372b-4926-ee668b6cb443'.

returns a randomly generated UUID, as a string of 36 characters.
Syntax
uuid() RETURNS text
General rules
UUID() returns a value that conforms to UUID version 4 as described in RFC 4122. The value is a 128-bit number represented as a utf8 string of five hexadecimal numbers in aaaaaaaa-bbbbcccc- dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee format.
Example
In the following example, generate random UUID.
select uuid();
uuid

(1 row)
Description
Convert string UUID to binary.
Syntax
uuid_to_bin(p_uuid uuid, swap_flag int4 default 0) RETURNS bytea
General rules
Converts a string UUID to a binary UUID and returns the result. (The IS_UUID() function description lists the permitted string UUID formats.)
The return binary UUID is a VARBINARY(16) value. If the UUID argument is NULL, the return value is NULL. If any argument is invalid, an error occurs.
Example
In the following example, Convert string UUID '0768a47d-d355-372b-4926-ee668b6cb443' to binary '\x0768a47dd355372b4926ee668b6cb443'.
select uuid_to_bin('0768a47d-d355-372b-4926-ee668b6cb443'::uuid)::text;

The following Operators are supported:
IFNULL
ISNULL
Description
The corresponding value is returned according to whether the parameter is empty.
Syntax
IFNULL(expr1 anycompatible, expr2 anycompatible) RETURNS anycompatible
IFNULL(expr1 text, expr2 text) RETURNS text
General rules
Judge whether the first parameter is null. If it is null, the value of the second parameter will be returned. If it is not null, the value of the first parameter will be returned
The two input parameters must belong to the same category, and the typcategory field of pg_type can be determined
Example
In the following example, when the first parameter is null, the second parameter 15 is returned; otherwise, the first parameter 1 is returned
select ifnull(1, 15);
ifnull
--------
1
(1 row)
select ifnull(null, 15);
ifnull
--------
15
(1 row)
Description
Test whether the argument is NULL
Syntax
isnull(text) RETURNS bool
isnull(numeric) RETURNS bool
isnull(timestamptz) RETURNS bool
General rules
If expr is NULL, ISNULL() returns true, otherwise it returns false.
Example
In the following example, expr is not NULL, ISNULL() returns false.
select isnull(0)::text;
isnull
--------
false
(1 row)
The following arithmetic operator are supported:
/
Description
Division operator. Division by zero produces a NULL result, reported a warning log.
Example

Description
Previously, bool type would transform to varchar kept invarient as aspect, like true to 'true' or false to 'false'. Myfce changes the rules above, transform bool type true to string '1' and false to string '0' for compatible with mysql.
Example
create table tb (a varchar(5), b int);
insert into tb values('true', 2); -- insert text 'true' as expected
insert into tb values(true, 1); -- insert true of bool type, expected to insert text '1' instead
insert into tb values(1, 3); -- insert numeric 1, expected to insert text '1' instead
insert into tb values('1', 4); -- insert text '1' as expected
insert into tb values(false, 5); -- insert false of bool type, expected to insert text '0'
insert into tb values('false', 6); -- insert text 'false' as expected
insert into tb values(0, 7); -- insert numeric 0, expected to insert text '0' instead
insert into tb values('0', 8); -- insert text '0' as expected
select * from tb;
a | b

Description
transform expr to unsigned bigint value.
General rules
Return type is numeric type. It is different from mysql, mysql is unsigned bigint type.
Expr of Date/Time types is not supported to cast yet. See examples for details.
Floating-point number in character types is not truncated when cast like mysql（'1.9' truncate to 1）. See examples for details.
Negative floating-point constant is not truncated when cast like mysql8.0, but mysql5.7 truncate it (floating-point number in col is not truncated). See examples for details.
Negative constant is truncated to 9223372036854775808 when overflowed like mysql8.0(mysql5.7 is 0). See examples for details.
Support casting strings in scientific notation format to unsigned, like '2e2' to 200(it is different from mysql, mysql is 2 after cast). See examples for details.
