bitmap_to_base64

Converts a bitmap to a Base64-encoded string. This function is supported from v2.5.

Syntax

Haskell

VARCHAR bitmap_to_base64(BITMAP bitmap)

Parameters

bitmap: the bitmap to convert. This parameter is required. If the input value is invalid, an error is returned.

Return value

Returns a value of the VARCHAR type.

Examples

Example 1: Use this function with other bitmap functions.

Plain

select bitmap_to_base64(bitmap_from_string("0, 1, 2, 3"));

| AQEAAAA=                       |
+--------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


select bitmap_to_base64(bitmap_empty());
+----------------------------------+
| bitmap_to_base64(bitmap_empty()) |

| AA==                             |

Example 2: Convert each value in a BITMAP column into Base64-encoded strings.

Create an Aggregate table page_uv where the AGGREGATE KEY is (page_id, visit_date). This table contains a BITMAP column visit_users whose values are to be aggregated.

SQL

    CREATE TABLE `page_uv`
    (`page_id` INT NOT NULL,
    `visit_date` datetime NOT NULL,
    `visit_users` BITMAP BITMAP_UNION NOT NULL
    ) ENGINE=OLAP
    AGGREGATE KEY(`page_id`, `visit_date`)
    DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(`page_id`)
    PROPERTIES (
    "replication_num" = "3",
    "storage_format" = "DEFAULT"
    );

Insert data into this table.

SQL

  insert into page_uv values
  (1, '2020-06-23 01:30:30', to_bitmap(13)),
  (1, '2020-06-23 01:30:30', to_bitmap(23)),
  (1, '2020-06-23 01:30:30', to_bitmap(33)),
  (1, '2020-06-23 02:30:30', to_bitmap(13)),
  (2, '2020-06-23 01:30:30', to_bitmap(23));
  
  select * from page_uv order by page_id;
  +---------+---------------------+-------------+
  | page_id | visit_date          | visit_users |
  +---------+---------------------+-------------+
  |       1 | 2020-06-23 01:30:30 | NULL        |
  |       1 | 2020-06-23 02:30:30 | NULL        |
  |       2 | 2020-06-23 01:30:30 | NULL        |
  +---------+---------------------+-------------+

Convert each value in the visit_users column into a Base64-encoded string.

Plain

  select page_id, bitmap_to_base64(visit_users) from page_uv;
  +---------+------------------------------------------+
  | page_id | bitmap_to_base64(visit_users)            |
