VECTOR_NUM_ELEMENTS

Syntax

VECTOR_NUM_ELEMENTS(vector_expression)

Arguments

• vector_expression: An expression that evaluates to a vector. The vector must be encoded as a blob containing packed single-precision or double-precision floating-point numbers in little-endian byte order.

Return Type

An integer or a null value.

Remarks

A vector can be of any length, but the input blob length must be divisible by the packed vector element size (1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes, depending on the vector element).

You can specify the datatype of the vector elements in which this operation is performed on the vector by adding a suffix to the function. Omitting the suffix from the function is equivalent to suffixing it with _F32. All operations are done using the specified datatype. The following table lists the suffixes and their datatype.

Examples

CREATE TABLE vne_t (x BLOB);
INSERT INTO vne_t VALUES (JSON_ARRAY_PACK('[4,3,1,5,2]'));

SELECT (VECTOR_NUM_ELEMENTS(x)) AS x from vne_t;
