Examples

Basic example.

yugabyte=# CREATE AGGREGATE newcnt(*) (
             sfunc = int8inc,
             stype = int8,
             initcond = '0',
             parallel = safe
           );
yugabyte=# DROP AGGREGATE newcnt(*);

IF EXISTS example.

yugabyte=# DROP AGGREGATE IF EXISTS newcnt(*);
yugabyte=# CREATE AGGREGATE newcnt(*) (
             sfunc = int8inc,
             stype = int8,
             initcond = '0',
             parallel = safe
           );
yugabyte=# DROP AGGREGATE IF EXISTS newcnt(*);

CASCADE and RESTRICT example.

yugabyte=# CREATE AGGREGATE newcnt(*) (
             sfunc = int8inc,
             stype = int8,
             initcond = '0',
             parallel = safe
           );
yugabyte=# CREATE VIEW cascade_view AS
             SELECT newcnt(*) FROM pg_aggregate;
yugabyte=# -- The following should error:
yugabyte=# DROP AGGREGATE newcnt(*) RESTRICT;
yugabyte=# -- The following should error:
yugabyte=# DROP AGGREGATE newcnt(*);
yugabyte=# DROP AGGREGATE newcnt(*) CASCADE;
