We can use pseg(x) function in the alignment function align(n,y) to divide records into multiple segments.
SPL script:
| A | |
|---|---|
| 1 | =connect(“db”) |
| 2 | =A1.query@x(“select * from EMPLOYEE”) |
| 3 | [0,8000,12000] |
| 4 | =A2.align@a(A3.len(),A3.pseg(SALARY)) |
| 5 | =A4.new(A3 (#):SALARY,~.count():COUNT) |
A1 Connect to the database.
A2 Query EMPLOYEE table.
A3 Define salary intervals.
A4 Use pseg function to get the interval a SALARY value belongs to.
A5 Find the number of employees in each group.
Execution result:
| SALARY | COUNT |
|---|---|
| 0 | 308 |
| 8000 | 153 |
