hash_agg

Description

Returns an aggregate signed 64-bit hash value over the (unordered) set of input rows.

hash_agg() never returns NULL, even if no input is provided. Empty input “hashes” to 0. hash_agg() is not a cryptographic hash function and should not be used as such. hash_agg(NULL) returns an Int64 number. hash_agg(NULL, NULL) result is different from hash_agg(NULL). In this regard NULL can be seen as just a constant, not some special “absent” value.

Return type

int64

Domain

This is an aggregate function (aggregates rows over a group in aggregate verbs.)
