Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-1163) A Case for Common Expressions
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1163?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Gerald Krause updated ODATA-1163: --------------------------------- Description: Support of case expressions as known from the SQL standard would add to the ad hoc capabilities and support use cases that require such an IF-THEN-ELSE logic. Imagine case( condition_1 : value_1, ..., condition_N : value_N [, else_value] ) would be available as canonical function for common expressions; an omitted else defaults to null. Here are some examples that could be addressed with it: 1. Core OData: Ad-hoc calculations with logic on the current property values: Example: Signum(x) GET ~/XValues?$compute=case(X > 0 : 1,X < 0 : -1, 0) as SignumX&$select=X,SignumX 2. Data Aggregation extension: Restricting aggregation to those values that occur in combination with certain groupable property values: Example: Comparing company revenues for years 2000 and 2017 GET ~/Sales?$apply=groupby((Company), aggregate(case(Time/Year eq 2000 : Revenue) with sum as TotalRevenue2000, case(Time/Year eq 2017 : Revenue) with sum as TotalRevenue2017)) 3. Data Aggregation extension: Defining dynamic groupable properties Example: From a collection of incidents with fine-grained state model (e.g., new, assigned, resolved, verified, reopened, closed) retrieve the aggregated count of open and closed incidents: GET ~/Incidents?$apply=compute(case(Status eq ‘Closed’ : ‘Closed’, ‘Open’) as ProcessingStatus)/groupby((ProcessingStatus), aggregate($count as IncidentCount)) was: Support of case expressions as known from the SQL standard would add to the ad hoc capabilities and support use cases that require such an IF-THEN-ELSE logic.
