BIT_XOR
Performs an XOR function on corresponding pairs of bits (i.e., the first pair of bits, the second pair of bits, etc.).
Since BIT_XOR is an aggregate function, it can be used with the GROUP BY clause.
May be used as a window function.
Syntax
Aggregate Function
BIT_XOR (<expr1>, <expr2>)
Window Function
BIT_XOR(col | expr) OVER ( [PARTITION BY (col | expr), ...] [ORDER BY (col | expr), ...]
Arguments
expression: expressions must be integer data types.
Return Type
This will result in a one if two of the corresponding bits are different. If the bits are the same it will return a zero.
Examples
Aggregate Function
CREATE TABLE ba_numeric_sample (group_name varchar(10), ltr_val int);
INSERT INTO ba_numeric_sample VALUES
('alpha', 111), ('beta', 110), ('gamma', 000), ('delta', 001);
SELECT group_name, BIT_XOR(001) FROM ba_numeric_sample GROUP BY group_name; **** +-------------------------+ |group_name | BIT_AND(001)| +-------------------------+ |alpha | 1 | +-----------|-------------+ |beta | 1 | +-----------|-------------+ |delta | 1 | +-----------|-------------+ |gamma | 1 | +-----------+-------------+
