replicate/repeat string in BigQuery

Question

Is it possible to replicate a string by a specified number of times with bigquery? Here's a toy example of what I would like to achieve ...

Input:

this.fetch(...)

Replicate id by count (i.e. desired output):

id | count
----------
a  | 1
b  | 2
c  | 3

It seems like this functionality is provided by id | newstr ---------- a | a b | bb c | ccc in other sql variants.

Answer 1

您不需要UDF。无论如何它会慢得多。只需使用SQL函数REPEAT（参见here）：

#standardSQL
WITH
  data AS (
  SELECT
    'a' AS id,
    2 AS repititions
  UNION ALL
  SELECT
    'b' AS id,
    3 AS repititions)
SELECT
  id,
  repititions,
  REPEAT(id,
    repititions) AS repeated
FROM
  data

输出

Answer 2

我认为BigQuery中没有REPLICATE（）函数，但您可以像这样创建UDF函数：

#standardSQL
CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION REPLICATE(x STRING, y FLOAT64)
RETURNS STRING
LANGUAGE js AS """
  return x.repeat(y);;
""";

WITH data AS (SELECT 'a' as id, 2 as count),
     data1 AS (SELECT 'b' as id, 3 as count)
SELECT id, REPLICATE(id,count) as newstr FROM data
UNION ALL
SELECT id, REPLICATE(id,count) as newstr FROM data1

在这种情况下输出将是：

Row id  newstr 
1   a   aa
2   b   bbb
