SQL：快速累积频率查询（Postgres）

Question

我希望从数据库中获取累积频率数据。我创建了一个简单的临时表，其中包含我们看到的所有唯一状态更新计数，以及具有该状态更新量的用户数量。

     Table "pg_temp_4.statuses_count_tmp"
     Column     |  Type   | Modifiers 
----------------+---------+-----------
 statuses_count | integer | 
 frequency      | bigint  | 
Indexes:
    "statuses_count_idx" UNIQUE, btree (statuses_count)

我当前的查询是：

select statuses_count, frequency/(select * from total_statuses)::float, (select sum(frequency)/(select * from total_statuses)::float AS percentage from statuses_count_tmp WHERE statuses_count <= SCT.statuses_count) AS cumulative_percent  FROM statuses_count_tmp AS SCT ORDER BY statuses_count DESC;

但这需要一段时间，查询数量很快就会增长。因此，有了我约有50,000行，我正在寻找要阅读的50k阶乘行。坐在这里看查询磨碎，我希望有一个更好的解决方案。

希望得到这样的东西：

0       0.26975161      0.26975161
1       0.15306534      0.42281695
2       0.05513516      0.47795211
3       0.03050646      0.50845857
4       0.02064444      0.52910301

假设您具有PostgreSQL 8.4或更高版本，则应使用窗口功能解决。我猜那 total_statuses 是沿着线路的视图或温度表 select sum(frequency) from statuses_count_tmp？我在此处将其写为CTE，应该在声明期间仅计算一次结果：

with total_statuses as (select sum(frequency) from statuses_count_tmp)
select statuses_count,
       frequency / (select * from total_statuses) as frequency,
       sum(frequency) over(order by statuses_count)
           / (select * from total_statuses) as cumulative_frequency
from statuses_count_tmp

没有8.4的窗口功能，您最好的选择就是仅仅是迭代处理数据：

create type cumulative_sum_type as ( statuses_count int, frequency numeric, cumulative_frequency numeric );
create or replace function cumulative_sum() returns setof cumulative_sum_type strict stable language plpgsql as $$
declare
  running_total bigint := 0;
  total bigint;
  data_in record;
  data_out cumulative_sum_type;
begin
  select sum(frequency) into total from statuses_count_tmp;
  for data_in in select statuses_count, frequency from statuses_count_tmp order by statuses_count
  loop
    data_out.statuses_count := data_in.statuses_count;
    running_total := running_total + data_in.frequency;
    data_out.frequency = data_in.frequency::numeric / total;
    data_out.cumulative_frequency = running_total::numeric / total;
    return next data_out;
  end loop;
end;
$$;
select * from cumulative_sum();
