Trait diesel::sqlite::SqliteAggregateFunction

pub trait SqliteAggregateFunction<Args>: Default {

    fn finalize(aggregator: Option<Self>) -> Self::Output;

Trait for the implementation of a SQLite aggregate function

This trait is to be used in conjunction with the define_sql_function! macro for defining a custom SQLite aggregate function. See the documentation there for details.

Required Associated Types

type Output

The result type of the SQLite aggregate function

Required Methods

fn step(&mut self, args: Args)

The step() method is called once for every record of the query.

This is called through a C FFI, as such panics do not propagate to the caller. Panics are caught and cause a return with an error value. The implementation must still ensure that state remains in a valid state (refer to std::panic::UnwindSafe for a bit more detail).

fn finalize(aggregator: Option<Self>) -> Self::Output

After the last row has been processed, the finalize() method is called to compute the result of the aggregate function. If no rows were processed aggregator will be None and finalize() can be used to specify a default result.

This is called through a C FFI, as such panics do not propagate to the caller. Panics are caught and cause a return with an error value.

Object Safety

This trait is not object safe.
