Scalars

Closely related to scalars are arrays, which are ordered collections of scalar values. All elements in an array have to be the same type:

Input

SELECT [1, 1, 2, 3, 5];

SELECT [1, 1, 2, 3, 5];

Run

Output

Press the 'Run' button to evaluate the input

Array elements can be accessed by giving an index (starting with 0) enclosed in [ ]:

Input

# access index 4 of the array [1, 1, 2, 3, 5]
SELECT [1, 1, 2, 3, 5] [4];

# access index 4 of the array [1, 1, 2, 3, 5]
SELECT [1, 1, 2, 3, 5] [4];

Run

Output

Press the 'Run' button to evaluate the input

You can also cast arrays from one type to another by using a "nested" cast notation:

Input

SELECT <array<str>>[1, 2, 3];

SELECT <array<str>>[1, 2, 3];

Run

Output

Press the 'Run' button to evaluate the input
