Sum Distinct

Definition​

The sumDistinct method allows you to add the SUM function (with DISTINCT option) to the query. The SUM function (with DISTINCT option) allows you to calculate the sum value of a set, considering only the distinct values.

There are 2 ways to call this method:

1. Calling from a KColumn or a KTableColumn​

The only one method available to use this functionality calling from a KColumn or a KTableColumn is:

  • sumDistinct(): It does not receive any parameters. The KColumn or KTableColumn that invokes the method will be the one supplied to the SUM function.

Example​

Java code:

k
.select(
    APP_USER.ID.sumDistinct(),
    APP_USER.CREATED_AT.cast(date())
)
.from(APP_USER)
.groupBy(APP_USER.CREATED_AT.cast(date()))
.multiple();

SQL generated:

SELECT
    SUM(DISTINCT au.id),
    CAST(au.created_at AS DATE)
FROM app_user au
GROUP BY CAST(au.created_at AS DATE)

Parameters:

  • None

2. Calling from the KFunction class​

The only one method available to use this functionality calling from the KFunction class is:

  • sumDistinct(KColumn kColumn): Receives a KColumn or a KTableColumn which will be supplied to the SUM function.

To use this way, you need to import the static functions as follows:

import static com.myzlab.k.KFunction.*;

Example​

Java code:

k
.select(
    sumDistinct(APP_USER.ID),
    APP_USER.CREATED_AT.cast(date())
)
.from(APP_USER)
.groupBy(APP_USER.CREATED_AT.cast(date()))
.multiple();

SQL generated:

SELECT
    SUM(DISTINCT au.id),
    CAST(au.created_at AS DATE)
FROM app_user au
GROUP BY CAST(au.created_at AS DATE)

Parameters:

  • None
