The following example shows how you can use the bit group functions to calculate the number of days per month a user has visited a web page.
CREATE TABLE t1 (year YEAR(4), month INT(2) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL, day INT(2) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL); INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(2000,1,1),(2000,1,20),(2000,1,30),(2000,2,2), (2000,2,23),(2000,2,23); |
The example table contains year-month-day values representing visits by users to the page. To determine how many different days in each month these visits occur, use this query:
SELECT year,month,BIT_COUNT(BIT_OR(1<<day)) AS days FROM t1 GROUP BY year,month; |
Which returns:
+------+-------+------+ | year | month | days | +------+-------+------+ | 2000 | 01 | 3 | | 2000 | 02 | 2 | +------+-------+------+ |
The query calculates how many different days appear in the table for each year/month combination, with automatic removal of duplicate entries.
