由于Postgres能够进行LATERAL连接,我一直在阅读它,因为我目前为我的团队执行复杂的数据转储,其中包含大量低效的子查询,这使得整个查询需要四分钟或更长时间.

我知道LATERAL联接可能能够帮助我,但即使在阅读了像Heap Analytics 这样的文章之后,我仍然没有完全遵循.

LATERAL加入的用例是什么？LATERAL连接和子查询之间有什么区别？

当函数返回a TABLE或a时SETOF composite-type,如此示例函数:

CREATE FUNCTION func(n int) returns table(i int, j bigint) as $$
BEGIN
  RETURN QUERY select 1,n::bigint 
      union all select 2,n*n::bigint
      union all select 3,n*n*n::bigint;
END
$$ language plpgsql;

结果可以通过各种方法访问:

1)select * from func(3)将产生这些输出列:

 i | j 
---+---
 1 |  3
 2 |  9
 3 | 27

2)select func(3)将只生成一个ROW类型的输出列.

 func  
-------
 (1,3)
 (2,9)
 (3,27)

3)select (func(3)).*会产生#1:

 i | j 
---+---
 1 |  3
 2 |  9
 3 | …

我subquery must return only one column尝试运行以下查询时收到错误:

SELECT mat.mat as mat1, sum(stx.total ) as sumtotal1,
  (
    SELECT mat.mat  as mat, sum(stx.total)  as sumtotal
    FROM stx 
      LEFT JOIN mat ON stx.matid = mat.matid
      LEFT JOIN sale ON stx.saleid = sale.id
    WHERE stx.date BETWEEN '2013-05-01' AND '2013-08-31' 
      AND sale.userid LIKE 'A%'
    GROUP BY mat.mat
) AS MyField
FROM stx 
  LEFT JOIN mat ON stx.matid = mat.matid
  LEFT JOIN sale ON stx.saleid = sale.id

  AND sale.userid …
