PostgreSQL using variables
If I have a query like this:
SELECT COUNT(1) FILTER (WHERE type = 0) as first_sum,
COUNT(1) FILTER (WHERE type = 0) as second_sum,
first_sum + second_sum as final_sum
FROM ...
Is it possible to use some kind of variables to make this work?
sql postgresql

How aboutCOUNT(1) FILTER (WHERE type = 0) + COUNT(1) FILTER (WHERE type = 0)
? Of course this will result in a null if either argument is null. Your example has them both with the same criteria, but presumably that's not what you meant

Yes, that is perfectly possible, the technique is called “subquery”:
SELECT first_sum,
second_sum,
first_sum + second_sum AS final_sum
FROM (SELECT count(*) FILTER (WHERE type = 0) AS first_sum,
count(*) FILTER (WHERE type = 0) AS second_sum
FROM ...
) AS subq;
Ok thanks! That's what I thought. :) I was just wondering if there is any other (better) way.
