BIT_OR

Performs an OR operation on each bit between expressions.

SinceBIT_OR is an aggregate function, it can be used with the GROUP BY clause.

May be used as a window function.

Syntax

Aggregate Function

BIT_OR (<expr1>, <expr2>)

Window Function

BIT_OR(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_OR(01) FROM ba_numeric_sample GROUP BY group_name;
+-------------------------+
|group_name | BIT_AND(01) |
+-------------------------+
|alpha      | 1           |
+-----------|-------------+
|beta       | 1           |
+-----------|-------------+
|gamma      | 1           |
+-----------|-------------+
|delta      | 1           |

    3rd_qtr_score DECIMAL(5,2), 4th_qtr_score DECIMAL(5,2), 
    yearly_total AS 1st_qtr_score + 2nd_qtr_score + 3rd_qtr_score + 4th_qtr_score PERSISTED DECIMAL(5,2));
