BigQuery - 选择多个列并希望排除两个双嵌套列答案

您好，我正在处理lt-pcf-analytics-exp.90676036.ga_sessions_* 表，我需要从嵌套命中列中提取不同的变量，包括除hits.customDimensions.value 和hits.customDimensions.index 列之外的所有变量。我认为命中和hits.customDimensions 都是ARRAY。如何在标准 SQL 中执行此操作？

我已经发现了一个关于类似问题的问题 (BigQuery except double nested column)，但在我的情况下，我有一个双嵌套数组列，我无法调整代码。

基本上，这就是我要提取的内容。如何修改它以便排除hits.customDimensions.value 和hits.customDimensions.index？谢谢。

SELECT fullVisitorId,
   visitId,
   visitNumber,
   cd.value as PCF_CUST_ID,
   date,
   TIMESTAMP_SECONDS(visitStartTime) as visitStartTime,
   totals.visits as visits,
   totals.hits as total_hits,
   hits.* (EXCEPT hits.customDimensions.value and hits.customDimensions.index)
FROM `lt-pcf-analytics-exp.90676036.ga_sessions_*` as t
          left join unnest(customDimensions) as cd
          left join unnest(hits) as hits
WHERE _TABLE_SUFFIX between '20210101' and '20210131' 
   and cd.index = 4 and cd.value is not null
ORDER BY PCF_CUST_ID, visitStartTime, hitNumber

【解决方案1】：

就像@martinus 注意到的那样，您的 except 语法不正确。如果您查看BigQuery Documentation，您会发现运行带有异常的查询的正确方法是：

SELECT 
   field.* EXCEPT (nested_field1, nested_field2)
FROM `my_table`

不过，您不能直接在嵌套字段上直接使用EXCEPT。作为一种解决方法，您可以从hits.* 中排除所有hits.customDimensions 值，然后将SELECT 仅用于hits.customDimensions.*，然后排除您需要删除的嵌套元素，例如index 和value。

如下查询应该可以工作：

SELECT fullVisitorId,
   visitId,
   visitNumber,
   cd.value as PCF_CUST_ID,
   date,
   TIMESTAMP_SECONDS(visitStartTime) as visitStartTime,
   totals.visits as visits,
   totals.hits as total_hits,
   hits.* EXCEPT (hits.customDimensions),
   hits.customDimensions.* EXCEPT (index, value)
FROM `lt-pcf-analytics-exp.90676036.ga_sessions_*` as t
          left join unnest(customDimensions) as cd
          left join unnest(hits) as hits
WHERE _TABLE_SUFFIX between '20210101' and '20210131' 
   and cd.index = 4 and cd.value is not null
ORDER BY PCF_CUST_ID, visitStartTime, hitNumber

【解决方案2】：

如果你检查BigQuery documentation for except，这不是好的语法：

SELECT [ AS { typename | STRUCT | VALUE } ] [{ ALL | DISTINCT }]
    { [ expression. ]* [ EXCEPT ( column_name [, ...] ) ]
        [ REPLACE ( expression [ AS ] column_name [, ...] ) ]
    | expression [ [ AS ] alias ] } [, ...]

所以，像这样使用它：

SELECT hits.* EXCEPT (value, index)
