The original table is :
c1 c2 c3
1 10
2 20 10
3 20 10
So c3 of row 3 and row 2 are equal to c2 of row 1.
The output I am looking for is :
c1 | array_to_string
----+-----------------
1 | 2,3
2 |
3 |
(3 rows)
How Can I modify this query :
SELECT c1, c2,
ARRAY_TO_STRING(ARRAY_AGG((SELECT t3.c1 FROM s.t1 as t3 JOIN s.t1
as t2 ON t3.c3 = t2.c2)), ',')
FROM s.t1 t1
GROUP BY c1;
DROP SCHEMA s CASCADE;
Move array_agg call around the column name instead of calling it on the select output.
The 4th query you have used seems to be working except that it 'kind of' does a cross product or lateral join. You might want to use a CTE instead if bested select and use that with OUTER JOIN or may be in the inner query use a correlated where clause (where t1.c2=t2.c2)
to get me the output desired.
Thanks
