PostgreSQL 自定义自动类型转换(CAST)
转载自:https://yq.aliyun.com/articles/228271
背景
PostgreSQL是一个强类型数据库,因此你输入的变量、常量是什么类型,是强绑定的,例如
在调用操作符时,需要通过操作符边上的数据类型,选择对应的操作符。
在调用函数时,需要根据输入的类型,选择对应的函数。
如果类型不匹配,就会报操作符不存在,或者函数不存在的错误。
- postgres=#select'1'+'1';
- ERROR:operatorisnot unique: unknown + unknown
- LINE 1:select'1'+'1';
- ^
- HINT:Couldnot choose a best candidate operator.You might need to add explicit type casts.
那么使用起来是不是很不方便呢?
PostgreSQL开放了类型转换的接口,同时也内置了很多的自动类型转换。来简化操作。
查看目前已有的类型转换:
- postgres=# \dC+
- List of casts
- Source type |Target type |Function|Implicit?|Description
- -----------------------------+-----------------------------+--------------------+---------------+-------------
- "char"| character | bpchar |in assignment |
- "char"| character varying | text |in assignment |
- "char"| integer | int4 |no|
- "char"| text | text | yes |
- abstime | date | date |in assignment |
- abstime | integer |(binary coercible)|no|
- abstime | time without time zone | time |in assignment |
- ................................
- timestamp without time zone | timestamp with time zone | timestamptz | yes |
- timestamp without time zone | timestamp without time zone | timestamp | yes |
- xml | character |(binary coercible)|in assignment |
- xml | character varying |(binary coercible)|in assignment |
- xml | text |(binary coercible)|in assignment |
- (246 rows)
如果你发现有些类型转换没有内置,怎么办呢?我们可以自定义转换。
当然你也可以使用这种语法,对类型进行强制转换:
- CAST(x AS typename)
- or
- x::typename
如何自定义类型转换(CAST)
自定义CAST的语法如下:
- CREATE CAST (source_type AS target_type)
- WITH FUNCTION function_name [(argument_type [,...])]
- [ AS ASSIGNMENT | AS IMPLICIT ]
- CREATE CAST (source_type AS target_type)
- WITHOUT FUNCTION
- [ AS ASSIGNMENT | AS IMPLICIT ]
- CREATE CAST (source_type AS target_type)
- WITH INOUT
- [ AS ASSIGNMENT | AS IMPLICIT ]
解释:
1、WITH FUNCTION,表示转换需要用到什么函数。
2、WITHOUT FUNCTION,表示被转换的两个类型,在数据库的存储中一致,即物理存储一致。例如text和varchar的物理存储一致。不需要转换函数。
- Two types can be binary coercible,
- which means that the conversion can be performed “for free” without invoking any function.
- This requires that corresponding values use the same internal representation.
- For instance, the types text and varchar are binary coercible both ways.
- Binary coercibility isnot necessarily a symmetric relationship.
- For example, the cast from xml to text can be performed for free in the present implementation,
- but the reverse direction requires a function that performs at least a syntax check.
- (Two types that are binary coercible both ways are also referred to as binary compatible.)
3、WITH INOUT,表示使用内置的IO函数进行转换。每一种类型,都有INPUT 和OUTPUT函数。使用这种方法,好处是不需要重新写转换函数。
除非有特殊需求,我们建议直接使用IO函数来进行转换。
- List of functions
- Schema|Name|Result data type |Argument data types |Type
- ------------+-----------------+------------------+---------------------+--------
- pg_catalog | textin | text | cstring | normal
- pg_catalog | textout | cstring | text | normal
- pg_catalog | date_in | date | cstring | normal
- pg_catalog | date_out | cstring | date | normal
- You can define a cast as an I/O conversion cast byusing the WITH INOUT syntax.
- An I/O conversion cast is performed by invoking the output function of the source data type,
- and passing the resulting string to the input function of the target data type.
- In many common cases,this feature avoids the need to write a separate cast functionfor conversion.
- An I/O conversion cast acts the same as a regular function-based cast; only the implementation is different.
4、AS ASSIGNMENT,表示在赋值时,自动对类型进行转换。例如字段类型为TEXT,输入的类型为INT,那么可以创建一个 cast(int as text) as ASSIGNMENT。
- If the cast is marked AS ASSIGNMENT then it can be invoked implicitly when assigning a value to a column of the target data type.
- For example, supposing that foo.f1 is a column of type text,then:
- INSERT INTO foo (f1) VALUES (42);
- will be allowed if the cast from type integer to type text is marked AS ASSIGNMENT,
- otherwise not.
- (We generally use the term assignment cast to describe this kind of cast.)
5、AS IMPLICIT,表示在表达式中,或者在赋值操作中,都对类型进行自动转换。(包含了AS ASSIGNMENT,它只对赋值进行转换)
- If the cast is marked AS IMPLICIT then it can be invoked implicitly in any context,
- whether assignment or internally in an expression.
- (We generally use the term implicit cast to describe this kind of cast.)
- For example, consider this query:
- SELECT 2+4.0;
- The parser initially marks the constants as being of type integer and numeric respectively.
- Thereisno integer + numeric operatorin the system catalogs, but there is a numeric + numeric operator.
- The query will therefore succeed if a cast from integer to numeric is available andis marked AS IMPLICIT —
- which in fact it is.
- The parser will apply the implicit cast and resolve the query asif it had been written
- SELECT CAST (2 AS numeric )+4.0;
6、注意,AS IMPLICIT需要谨慎使用,为什么呢?因为操作符会涉及到多个算子,如果有多个转换,目前数据库并不知道应该选择哪个?
- Now, the catalogs also provide a cast from numeric to integer.
- If that cast were marked AS IMPLICIT —(which it isnot—)
- then the parser would be faced with choosing between the above interpretation and
- the alternative of casting the numeric constant to integer and applying the integer + integer operator.
- Lacking any knowledge of which choice to prefer, it would give up and declare the query ambiguous.
- The fact that only one of the two casts isimplicitis the way in which we teach the parser to prefer resolution of
- a mixed numeric-and-integer expression as numeric;
- there isno built-in knowledge about that.
因此,建议谨慎使用AS IMPLICIT。建议使用AS IMPLICIT的CAST应该是非失真转换转换,例如从INT转换为TEXT,或者int转换为numeric。
而失真转换,不建议使用as implicit,例如numeric转换为int。
- Itis wise to be conservative about marking casts asimplicit.
- An overabundance of implicit casting paths can cause PostgreSQL to choose surprising interpretations of commands,
- or to be unable to resolve commands at all because there are multiple possible interpretations.
- A good rule of thumb is to make a cast implicitly invokable only for information-preserving
- transformations between types in the same general type category.
- For example, the cast from int2 to int4 can reasonably be implicit,
- but the cast from float8 to int4 should probably be assignment-only.
- Cross-type-category casts, such as text to int4, are best made explicit-only.
注意事项 + 例子
不能嵌套转换。例子
1、将text转换为date
错误方法
- create or replace function text_to_date(text) returns date as $$
- select cast($1 as date);
- $$ language sql strict;
- create cast (text as date)withfunction text_to_date(text)asimplicit;
嵌套转换后出现死循环
- postgres=#select text '2017-01-01'+1;
- ERROR: stack depth limit exceeded
- HINT:Increase the configuration parameter "max_stack_depth"(currently 2048kB), after ensuring the platform's stack depth limit is adequate.
- CONTEXT: SQL function "text_to_date" during startup
- SQL function "text_to_date" statement 1
- SQL function "text_to_date" statement 1
- SQL function "text_to_date" statement 1
- ......
正确方法
- create or replace function text_to_date(text) returns date as $$
- select to_date($1,'yyyy-mm-dd');
- $$ language sql strict;
- create cast (text as date)withfunction text_to_date(text)asimplicit;
- postgres=#select text '2017-01-01'+1;
- ?column?
- ------------
- 2017-01-02
- (1 row)
我们还可以直接使用IO函数来转换:
- postgres=# create cast (text as date)with inout asimplicit;
- CREATE CAST
- postgres=#select text '2017-01-01'+1;
- ?column?
- ------------
- 2017-01-02
- (1 row)
