Imagine a table with only one column.
+------+
| v |
+------+
|0.1234|
|0.8923|
|0.5221|
+------+
I want to do the following for row K:
- Take row K=1 value: 0.1234
- Count how many values in the rest of the table are less than or equal to value in row 1.
Iterate through all rows Output should be:
+------+-------+
| v |output |
+------+-------+
|0.1234| 0 |
|0.8923| 2 |
|0.5221| 1 |
+------+-------+
Quick Update I was using this approach to compute a statistic at every value of v in the above table. The cross join approach was way too slow for the size of data I was dealing with. So, instead I computed my stat for a grid of v values and then matched them to the vs in the original data. v_table is the data table from before and stat_comp is the statistics table.
AS SELECT t1.*
,CASE WHEN v<=1.000000 THEN pr_1
WHEN v<=2.000000 AND v>1.000000 THEN pr_2
FROM v_table AS t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN stat_comp AS t2
