5. Process Issues

5.1 Extension for Data Aggregation: review applied issues

5.1.1 Revised Documents

5.1.2 Issues for Data Aggregation V4.0_CSD03

5.1.2.1 ODATA-9 "allow expressions in the $select query option

Ramesh: is this limited to functions? no, just "as" sounds more SQL ish

Ralf: no, any common expression is allowed

Ramesh: Ok.

Hubert: I move to close ODATA-9 as applied. Gerald seconds

ODATA-9 is CLOSED

5.1.2.1 ODATA-829 "Section 7.2, Examples 50: aggregate returns one item even for empty input set"

Example 52:

GET ~/Products?$apply=groupby((Name),
                              aggregate(Sales/Amount with sum as Total))
results in
{
  "@odata.context": "$metadata#Products(Name,Sales(Total))",
  "value": [
    { "@odata.id": null, "Name": "Coffee", "Sales": [ { "Total":   12 } ] },
    { "@odata.id": null, "Name": "Paper",  "Sales": [ { "Total":    8 } ] },
    { "@odata.id": null, "Name": "Pencil", "Sales": [ { "Total": null } ] },
    { "@odata.id": null, "Name": "Sugar",  "Sales": [ { "Total":    4 } ] }
  ]
}

Note that the base set of the request is Products, so there is a result item for product Pencil even

Was:

    { "@odata.id": null, "Name": "Pencil", "Sales": [] },

Text below example is now:

Note that the base set of the request is Products, so there is a result item for product Pencil even though there are no sales item. As aggregate returns exactly one result item even if there are no items to be aggregated, the Sales navigation propertys value is an array with one element representing the sum over no input values, which is null.

ODATA-829 is OPEN

Hubert:I move to resolve ODATA-829 as proposed. Gerald seconds.

ODATA-829 is RESOLVED as proposed

Hubert: I move to close ODATA-829 as applied. Gerald seconds.

ODATA-829 is CLOSED
