Add an ANY_VALUE aggregate function

Please add an ANY_VALUE aggregate function, this would simplify queries that group by an id and also require other values that are known to be unique within the group.


SELECT

a.article_id, ANY_VALUE(a.description), COUNT(*)

FROM

article AS a

JOIN order_pos AS p ON p.article_id = a.article_id

GROUP BY

a.article_id

    This enhancement was delivered in June 2024 with IBM i 7.5 PTF Group level 7 and IBM i 7.4 PTF Group level 28.

    The ANY_VALUE aggregate function has been added to Db2 for i.

    You can read about it on the fact page here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7148939

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
