在postgres中向前（或向后填充）

Question

问题是填充表中的缺失值。在pandas中，可以使用向前（或向后）填充来执行此操作，如下所示：

$> import pandas as pd
$> df = pd.DataFrame({'x': [None, 1, None, None, 2, None, 3, None]})
$> df['y'] = df['x'].fillna(method='ffill')
$> df
    x   y
0 NaN NaN
1   1   1
2 NaN   1
3 NaN   1
4   2   2
5 NaN   2
6   3   3
7 NaN   3

有没有办法在SQL中更准确地在PostGres中执行此操作？我想window functions可能有所帮助，但我无法弄清楚如何。

在PostGres中，它会像：

sandbox=# SELECT x, ??
FROM
  (SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT 1 AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT 2 AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT 3 AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x) a;
 x

这么多别名，因为您的查询对订单非常敏感。 我添加了更多空的x行来证明它是修剪了几个空行...

select x,y from (
select r,x, case when y is not null then y else min(y) over (partition by x order by r) end y from (
SELECT row_number() over() r,x, case when x is not null then x else lag(x) over () end y
FROM
  (SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT 1 AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT 2 AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT 3 AS x
   UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS x
   ) a
   ) b
order by r
   ) c
   ;
