Aggregate boolean values to true if any of the source columns is true

问题

Let say I have the following table:

id   column_a  column_b   column_c
1     t          f           t
2     t          f           f
3     f          t           f

From the above table, I want to:

select rows from id = 1,2;

The result should be:

column_a   column_b   column_c
 t          f            t

If any of the rows among the defined id has a true for a particular column we assume the result to be true.

回答1:

Use the aggregate function bool_or().

SELECT bool_or(column_a) AS column_a
     , bool_or(column_b) AS column_b
     , bool_or(column_c) AS column_c
FROM   tbl
WHERE  id IN (1,2);

The manual:

true if at least one input value is true, otherwise false

回答2:

bool_or(...) is definitely your best friend here.

Just one thing to remember which manual doesn't mention: If all values supplied to bool_or are null, the result will be null too.
