  • Article
  • 2 minutes to read

Returns a dynamic (JSON) array of the set of distinct values that Expr takes in the group, for which Predicate evaluates to true.

  • Can be used only in context of aggregation inside summarize

Syntax

make_set_if (Expr, Predicate [, MaxSize])

Arguments

  • Expr: Expression that will be used for aggregation calculation.
  • Predicate: Predicate that has to evaluate to true for Expr to be added to the result.
  • MaxSize is an optional integer limit on the maximum number of elements returned (default is 1048576). MaxSize value cannot exceed 1048576.

Returns

Returns a dynamic (JSON) array of the set of distinct values that Expr takes in the group, for which Predicate evaluates to true. The array's sort order is undefined.

Tip

To only count the distinct values, use dcountif()

];
