如何为空字符串和NULL值COALESCE?

时间:2021-11-20 19:25:10

I'm trying to make the fastest COALESCE() that accepts two or more arguments, and returns the first non-null AND non-empty ("") value.

我正在尝试使用最快的COALESCE()接受两个或多个参数,并返回第一个非空和非空(“”)值。

I'm using this:

我正在使用这个:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION coalescenonempty(VARIADIC in_ordered_actual varchar[])
RETURNS varchar AS $$
  SELECT i
  FROM (SELECT unnest($1) AS i) t
  WHERE i IS NOT NULL AND i <> ''
  LIMIT 1;
$$ LANGUAGE sql;

It's pretty fast, but still nowhere as fast as COALESCE or CASE WHEN statements.

它非常快,但仍然没有COALESCE或CASE WHEN语句那么快。

What do you think?

你怎么看?

Do not create a user function is you want speed. Instead of this:

不要创建用户功能是你想要的速度。而不是这个:

coalescenonempty(col1,col2||'blah',col3,'none');

do this:

做这个:

COALESCE(NULLIF(col1,''),NULLIF(col2||'blah',''),NULLIF(col3,''),'none');

That is, for each non-constant parameter, surround the actual parameter with NULLIF( x ,'').

也就是说,对于每个非常量参数,用NULLIF(x,'')包围实际参数。
