I would like to create a recursive view in Teradata (i.e., CREATE RECURSIVE VIEW
) from the following reproducible example:
CREATE VOLATILE TABLE vt1
(
foo VARCHAR(10)
, counter INTEGER
, bar INTEGER
)
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('a', 1, '1');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('a', 2, '2');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('a', 3, '2');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('a', 4, '4');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('a', 5, '1');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('b', 1, '3');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('b', 2, '1');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('b', 3, '1');
INSERT INTO vt1 VALUES ('b', 4, '2');
WITH RECURSIVE cte (foo, counter, bar, rsum) AS
(
SELECT
foo
, counter
, bar
, bar AS rsum
FROM
vt1
QUALIFY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY foo ORDER BY counter) = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT
t.foo
, t.counter
, t.bar
, CASE WHEN cte.rsum < 3 THEN t.bar + cte.rsum ELSE t.bar END
FROM
vt1 t JOIN cte ON t.foo = cte.foo AND t.counter = cte.counter + 1
)
SELECT
cte.*
, CASE WHEN rsum < 5 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END AS tester
FROM
cte
ORDER BY
foo
, counter
;
This creates this output:
╔═════╦═════════╦═════╦══════╦════════╗
║ foo ║ counter ║ bar ║ rsum ║ tester ║
╠═════╬═════════╬═════╬══════╬════════╣
║ a ║ 1 ║ 1 ║ 1 ║ 0 ║
║ a ║ 2 ║ 2 ║ 3 ║ 0 ║
║ a ║ 3 ║ 2 ║ 5 ║ 1 ║
║ a ║ 4 ║ 4 ║ 4 ║ 0 ║
║ a ║ 5 ║ 1 ║ 5 ║ 1 ║
║ b ║ 1 ║ 3 ║ 3 ║ 0 ║
║ b ║ 2 ║ 1 ║ 4 ║ 0 ║
║ b ║ 3 ║ 1 ║ 5 ║ 1 ║
║ b ║ 4 ║ 2 ║ 2 ║ 0 ║
╚═════╩═════════╩═════╩══════╩════════╝
Which I would ultimately like to "save" as a view. I have tried CREATE RECURSIVE VIEW
and several variants, but I think I'm not understanding how to get around the WITH RECURSIVE cte
statement.
For a related question to understand what's going on, see this question
Okay, that was actually harder than I thought:
create recursive view db.test_view (
foo, counter,bar,rsum) as
(SELECT
foo,
counter,
bar,
bar AS rsum
FROM
vt1
QUALIFY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY foo ORDER BY counter) = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT
t.foo,
t.counter,
t.bar,
CASE WHEN cte.rsum < 5 THEN
t.bar + cte.rsum
ELSE t.bar
END
FROM
vt1 t
JOIN test_view cte
ON t.foo = cte.foo
AND t.counter = cte.counter + 1
)
Don't qualify the recursive join to the view. IE, JOIN test_view
, not JOIN db.test_view
.
