VECTOR_ADD

Returns an array that is the sum of two input arrays.

Syntax

VECTOR_ADD(<array>, <array>)

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Supported input types
<array>	The first array in the addition calculation.	Any array of numeric data types.
<array>	The second array in the addition calculation.	Any array of numeric data types.

Notes

Both input ARRAY arguments must have the same number of elements.

Return Type

VECTOR_ADD returns a result of type ARRAY(BIGINT) if the elements of <array> are of type INT, and returns a result of type ARRAY(DOUBLE PRECISION) if the elements are of type REAL. For other element types, VECTOR_ADD returns a result that matches the original element type, or follows Firebolt’s type conversion rules to convert them to compatible data types.

Examples

Example

The following code example adds the two vectors, [1, 2, 5] and [3, 4, -1], by computing 1+3, 2+4, and 5+(-1), which yields [4, 6, 3]:

select vector_add([1, 2, 5], [3, 4, -2]) as res

Returns

res (ARRAY(BIGINT))
{4	6	3}
