在 ClickHouse 中重写 PostgreSQL 查询
这是从 PostgreSQL 迁移到 ClickHouse 的指南的第 4 部分。本内容可被视为入门级内容，旨在帮助用户部署一个符合 ClickHouse 最佳实践的初始功能系统。它避免了复杂主题，不会导致完全优化的模式；而是为用户提供了一个坚实的基础，以便他们构建生产系统并以此为基础进行学习。
以下提供了比较 PostgreSQL 和 ClickHouse 的示例查询。此列表旨在演示如何利用 ClickHouse 功能来显著简化查询。在大多数情况下，这些查询在 ClickHouse 中也会更快地执行。这里的示例使用完整的 Stack Overflow 数据集（截至 2024 年 4 月）在 PostgreSQL 和 ClickHouse（8 个核心，32GiB 内存）中的等效资源上。
这里的计数会有所不同，因为 Postgres 数据只包含满足外键引用完整性的行。ClickHouse 不强制执行此类约束，因此拥有完整的数据集，例如包括匿名用户。
用户（提问超过 10 个）的观看次数最多

聚合函数
在可能的情况下，用户应利用 ClickHouse 聚合函数。下面我们将展示如何使用 argMax 函数来计算每年观看次数最多的问题。
--ClickHouse
SELECT toYear(CreationDate) AS Year,
argMax(Title, ViewCount) AS MostViewedQuestionTitle,
max(ViewCount) AS MaxViewCount
FROM stackoverflow.posts
WHERE PostTypeId = 'Question'
GROUP BY Year
ORDER BY Year ASC
FORMAT Vertical
Row 1:
──────
Year: 2008
MostViewedQuestionTitle: How to find the index for a given item in a list?
MaxViewCount: 6316987
Row 2:
──────
Year: 2009
MostViewedQuestionTitle: How do I undo the most recent local commits in Git?
MaxViewCount: 13962748
...
Row 16:
───────
Year: 2023
MostViewedQuestionTitle: How do I solve "error: externally-managed-environment" every time I use pip 3?
MaxViewCount: 506822
Row 17:
───────
Year: 2024
MostViewedQuestionTitle: Warning "Third-party cookie will be blocked. Learn more in the Issues tab"
MaxViewCount: 66975

这比等效的 Postgres 查询要简单得多（也更快）
--Postgres
WITH yearly_views AS (
SELECT
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CreationDate) AS Year,
Title,
ViewCount,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CreationDate) ORDER BY ViewCount DESC) AS rn
FROM public.posts
WHERE PostTypeId = 1
)
SELECT
Year,
Title AS MostViewedQuestionTitle,
ViewCount AS MaxViewCount
FROM yearly_views
WHERE rn = 1
ORDER BY Year;

条件和数组
条件和数组函数使查询变得非常简单。以下查询计算在 2022 年至 2023 年期间增长率最大的标签（出现次数超过 10000 次）。请注意，以下 ClickHouse 查询由于使用了条件、数组函数以及在 HAVING 和 SELECT 子句中复用别名而变得简洁。
--ClickHouse
SELECT arrayJoin(arrayFilter(t -> (t != ''), splitByChar('|', Tags))) AS tag,
countIf(toYear(CreationDate) = 2023) AS count_2023,
countIf(toYear(CreationDate) = 2022) AS count_2022,
((count_2023 - count_2022) / count_2022) * 100 AS percent_change
FROM stackoverflow.posts
WHERE toYear(CreationDate) IN (2022, 2023)
GROUP BY tag
HAVING (count_2022 > 10000) AND (count_2023 > 10000)
ORDER BY percent_change DESC
LIMIT 5
