ここでは、列を配列に収集する集計関数を作成します。次に、NULLを削除し、各配列から最後の要素を選択するだけです。
サンプルデータ
CREATE TABLE T (
date_time timestamp,
a text,
b text,
c text
);
INSERT INTO T VALUES ('2013-10-15 11:45:00', NULL, 'timtim', 'fred'),
('2013-10-15 13:00:00', 'tune', 'reco', NULL ),
('2013-10-16 12:00:00', 'abc', NULL, NULL ),
('2013-10-16 13:00:00', NULL, 'died', NULL );
解決策
CREATE AGGREGATE array_accum (anyelement)
(
sfunc = array_append,
stype = anyarray,
initcond = '{}'
);
WITH latest_nonull AS (
SELECT MAX(date_time) As MaxDateTime,
array_remove(array_accum(a), NULL) AS A,
array_remove(array_accum(b), NULL) AS B,
array_remove(array_accum(c), NULL) AS C
FROM T
ORDER BY date_time
)
SELECT MaxDateTime, A[array_upper(A, 1)], B[array_upper(B,1)], C[array_upper(C,1)]
FROM latest_nonull;
結果
maxdatetime | a | b | c
---------------------+-----+------+------
2013-10-16 13:00:00 | abc | died | fred
