How to make aggregations with slick
I want to force slick to create queries like
select max(price) from coffees where ...
But slick's documentation doesn't help
val q = Coffees.map(_.price) //this is query Query[Coffees.type, ...]
val q1 = q.min // this is Column[Option[Double]]
val q2 = q.max
val q3 = q.sum
val q4 = q.avg
Because those q1-q4 aren't queries, I can't get the results but can use them inside other queries.
This statement
for {
coffee <- Coffees
} yield coffee.price.max
generates right query but is deprecated (generates warning: " method max in class ColumnExtensionMethods is deprecated: Use Query.max instead"). How to generate such query without warnings?
Another issue is to aggregate with group by:
"select name, max(price) from coffees group by name"
Tried to solve it with
for {
coffee <- Coffees
} yield (coffee.name, coffee.price.max)).groupBy(x => x._1)
which generates
select x2.x3, x2.x3, x2.x4 from (select x5."COF_NAME" as x3, max(x5."PRICE") as x4 from "coffees" x5) x2 group by x2.x3
which causes obvious db error
column "x5.COF_NAME" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
How to generate such query?
Answer
As far as I can tell is the first one simply
Query(Coffees.map(_.price).max).first
And the second one
val maxQuery = Coffees
.groupBy { _.name }
.map { case (name, c) =>
name -> c.map(_.price).max
}
maxQuery.list
or
val maxQuery = for {
(name, c) <- Coffees groupBy (_.name)
} yield name -> c.map(_.price).max
maxQuery.list
