EVERY

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

The EVERY() aggregate function calculates the boolean conjunction of all the boolean values in the aggregated group. In other words, this is:

TRUE if the argument is TRUE for every row in the group.
FALSE if at the argument is FALSE for at least one row in the group.

As with most aggregate functions, NULL values are not aggregated, so three valued logic does not apply here.

SELECT 
  every(ID < 4),
  every(ID < 5)
FROM BOOK

create.select(
         every(BOOK.ID.lt(4)),
         every(BOOK.ID.lt(5)))
      .from(BOOK)

Producing:

+---------------+---------------+
| every(ID < 4) | every(ID < 5) |
+---------------+---------------+
| false         | true          |  
+---------------+---------------+

Dialect support

This example using jOOQ:

every(BOOK.ID.lt(4))

Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:

-- ACCESS
(min(SWITCH(BOOK.ID < 4, 1, TRUE, 0)) = 1)

-- ASE, DB2, FIREBIRD, ORACLE, SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLSERVER, SYBASE, TERADATA
CASE
  WHEN min(CASE
    WHEN BOOK.ID < 4 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
  END) = 1 THEN 1
  WHEN NOT (min(CASE
    WHEN BOOK.ID < 4 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
  END) = 1) THEN 0
END

-- AURORA_MYSQL, DERBY, H2, HSQLDB, INFORMIX, MARIADB, MEMSQL, MYSQL, REDSHIFT, SQLITE
(min(CASE
  WHEN BOOK.ID < 4 THEN 1
  ELSE 0
END) = 1)

-- AURORA_POSTGRES, COCKROACHDB, POSTGRES, VERTICA, YUGABYTE
bool_and((BOOK.ID < 4))

-- BIGQUERY
logical_and((BOOK.ID < 4))

-- EXASOL
every((BOOK.ID < 4))

-- HANA
CASE
  WHEN min(CASE
    WHEN BOOK.ID < 4 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
  END) = 1 THEN TRUE
  WHEN NOT (min(CASE
    WHEN BOOK.ID < 4 THEN 1
    ELSE 0
  END) = 1) THEN FALSE
END

-- SNOWFLAKE
booland_agg((BOOK.ID < 4))
