Aggregate function filters

You can use a FILTER clause on an aggregate function to specify which rows are sent to an aggregate function. Rows for which the filter_clause evaluates to true contribute to the aggregation.

Temporal filters cannot be used in aggregate function filters.

Syntax

Examples

SELECT
    COUNT(*) AS unfiltered,
    -- The FILTER guards the evaluation which might otherwise error.
    COUNT(1 / (5 - i)) FILTER (WHERE i < 5) AS filtered
FROM generate_series(1,10) AS s(i)
