Re: User Defined Aggregations in MonetDB?

Hi Alastair, sure you can do that. You can have a look at the following files: http://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB/file/af39d1a659f6/monetdb5/modules/kernel/... http://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB/file/af39d1a659f6/monetdb5/modules/kernel/... http://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB/file/af39d1a659f6/gdk/gdk_aggr.c This article should be helpful and informative as well to you that explains how aggregates and grouping works inside MonetDB: http://www.monetdb.org/content/internal-changes-feb2013-release Regards, Babis On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 3:42 PM, Alastair McKinley wrote:

Dear all,

I was wondering if it is possible to build a User Defined Aggregation in MonetDB.

For example, rather than do SUM(myfunction(a,b)) I would like to do MYAGG(a,b) where MYAGG internally holds a small buffer of a and b values so that they can be calculated in a batch fashion with a high performance batch implementation of the function.

Could MYAGG be implemented in C?

Best regards,

Alastair
