LISTAGG (binary)

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The binary LISTAGG() aggregate function aggregates data into a binary string. It uses the WITHIN GROUP syntax.

SELECT
  listagg(ID) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
  listagg(ID, '; ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
FROM BOOK
create.select(
         binaryListAgg(BOOK.ID).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID),
         binaryListAgg(BOOK.ID, "; ".getBytes()).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID))
      .from(BOOK).fetch();
