argMin

计算最小 val 值的 arg 值。如果有多行的 val 值相等且为最大，则返回的关联 arg 是不确定的。 这两个部分 arg 和 min 的行为都像 聚合函数，在处理过程中都 跳过 Null，如果有可用的非 Null 值，将返回非 Null 值。

语法

argMin(arg, val)

参数

• arg — 参数。
• val — 值。

返回值

• 与最小 val 值对应的 arg 值。

类型：与 arg 类型匹配。

示例

输入表：

┌─user─────┬─salary─┐
│ director │   5000 │
│ manager  │   3000 │
│ worker   │   1000 │
└──────────┴────────┘

查询：

SELECT argMin(user, salary) FROM salary

结果：

┌─argMin(user, salary)─┐
│ worker               │
└──────────────────────┘
