All,

Does the current version of MonetDB support multi-column aggregate functions? I need to create a function which returns the "quantiles" of one column using another column as a weighting. It looks like PostgreSQL supports multi-column aggregates as of 8.2.

I could write an embedded R function to compute this, but want to know if it is even possible to pass in multiple columns.

Hello David,

You can find documentation on how to create User Defined Functions here:

I was hoping to use a native/low level implementation for high performance (my data set is on the order of 2. It looks like multiple column aggregates are supported (corr & covar) so in theory I could add a new function.

Poking around in the archives, it looks like I need to add a new MAL and link it to a C implementation.

Are there any examples on how to do this?

if you are able to figure out how to define that function, i would appreciate if you could share it. thanks

Thanks. I will look at these.

My problem is that my data set is ~1 billion records, and I need to group by several dimensions (so I have ~2000 composite factors) computing weighted averages for some fields along with weighted percentiles (0,25,50,75,100) for a smaller subset of the fields. Currently, I’m looking at the MonetDB internals to see if this is possible.

A “perfect” query would look like:

SELECT

sum(a*w)/sum(w) as wa_a,

sum(b*w)/sum(w) as wa_b,

weightedpercentile(a,w,0.25) as wp25_a,

weightedpercentile(a,w,0.50) as wp50_a

FROM

mytable

GROUP BY c,d HAVING sum(w) > 0
