Overview

This Postgres extension introduces two new data types inthstore and floathstore wich depends on postgres hstore extension. These types are used to hold integer and float values respectively. numhstore comes with certain aggregate and helper functions.

##Operators

inthstore + inthstore

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore + 'a=>2, c=>5'::inthstore;
           inthstore
------------------------------
 "a"=>"5", "b"=>"2", "c"=>"5"

inthstore - inthstore

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore - 'a=>2, c=>5'::inthstore;
           inthstore
-------------------------------
 "a"=>"1", "b"=>"2", "c"=>"-5"

inthstore * inthstore

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore * 'a=>2, c=>5'::inthstore;
            inthstore
--------------------------------
 "a"=>"6", "b"=>NULL, "c"=>NULL

inthstore / inthstore

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore / 'a=>2, c=>5'::inthstore;
                        floathstore
----------------------------------------------------------
 "a"=>"1.5000000000000000", "c"=>"0.00000000000000000000"

inthstore + int

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore + 3;
      inthstore
--------------------
 "a"=>"6", "b"=>"5"

inthstore - int

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore - 3;
      inthstore
---------------------
 "a"=>"0", "b"=>"-1"

inthstore * int

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore * 3;
      inthstore
--------------------
 "a"=>"9", "b"=>"6"

inthstore / int

SELECT 'a=>3, b=>2'::inthstore / 3;
                           floathstore
--------------------------------------------------------------
 "a"=>"1.00000000000000000000", "b"=>"0.66666666666666666667"

##Functions

array_count

SELECT array_count(ARRAY['a','a','b']);
     inthstore
----------------------
 "a"=>"2", "b"=>"1"

hstore_sum_up

SELECT hstore_sum_up('foo=>10, bar => 15'::inthstore);
 bigint
---------
      25

SELECT hstore_sum_up('foo=>2.5, bar => 4.5'::floathstore);
  numeric
----------
      7.0

array_add

SELECT array_add(Array['foo','foo','bar'], Array[2,3,5]);
       inthstore
------------------------
 "bar"=>"5", "foo"=>"5"

Aggregations

###SUM

SELECT SUM(store) FROM (VALUES('a=>2, b=>4'),('a=>4, b=>6, c=>6'::inthstore) )t(store);
              inthstore
-------------------------------
 "a"=>"6", "b"=>"10", "c"=>"6"

###AVG

SELECT AVG(store) FROM (VALUES('a=>2, b=>4'),('a=>4, b=>6, c=>6'::inthstore) )t(store);
                                       floathstore
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 "a"=>"3.0000000000000000", "b"=>"5.0000000000000000", "c"=>"6.0000000000000000"
