Re: postgresql how to duplicate rows in result.

For my enlightenment, why use LATERAL here? I get the same result with a simple CROSS JOIN (though overall I like the clever solution).

Cheers,
Steve

Hi list,
sorry for my english, I will try to example as well. I've a query
that joins
multiple tables and return a result like:

id,customers,phone,code,number
1 , aaaaaaaa,33333,123 , 2
2 , aassdsds,33322,211 , 1
3 , oooooooo,21221,221 , 1


I need, where "number" field is > 1, to duplicate the row * N(number
field
value) with a result like this:

id,customers,phone,code,number
1 , aaaaaaaa,33333,123 , 2
1 , aaaaaaaa,33333,123 , 2
2 , aassdsds,33322,211 , 1
3 , oooooooo,21221,221 , 1

How I can accomplish to this problem?

SELECT * FROM foo CROSS JOIN LATERAL (1,number);

:-D

oops -- copy/paste error

SELECT * FROM foo CROSS JOIN LATERAL generate_series(1,number);

Hi Merlin,
I've tried your suggested code and with cross join and generate_series I
can generate multiple row. There is a way to put as second args a column
values? I've tried to put "table.number" column values but I got
"generate_series() does not exists". Inserting a simple int like 5 I get
5 results for each row.

I've searched on google but can't find a valid example.



Thanks in advance.


Hi Merlin,
I've solved my problem (passing column as number) using a cast generate_series(1,table.number::int)

thanks to all for answart.

SOLVED
