Perhaps I don't fully understand what you're saying
CREATE TABLE person (name VARCHAR, age BIGINT);
INSERT INTO person VALUES ('Alice', 37), ('Ana', 35), ('Bob', 41), ('Bea', 25);
CREATE OR REPLACE MACRO my_query_table(t) AS TABLE (SELECT * FROM query_table(t));
SELECT * FROM my_query_table('person');
Or do you mean that you can't use `query_table` with a macro identifier in place of the table identifier as input (after all, where would put the macro args)? Perhaps using `query(...)` instead would work?
CREATE OR REPLACE MACRO query_macro(m, i) AS TABLE (SELECT * FROM query(CONCAT('SELECT * FROM ', m::STRING, $$($$, i::STRING, $$)$$)));
SELECT * FROM query_macro('my_query_table', 'person');
CREATE MACRO foo(bar, baz) AS TABLE
WITH
base AS (
FROM query_table(bar) t
),
refined AS (
FROM base
JOIN query_table(baz) u ON base.id = u.id
)
SELECT * FROM refined;
I want to test many user-defined combinations of (bar, baz). How can I pass a macro instance to query_table like
FROM (
(FROM foo(mybar1(some_arg1, some_arg2), mybaz101(500)))
UNION ALL
(FROM foo(mybar2(some_arg3, some_arg4), mybaz201(300)))
UNION ALL
...
)
SELECT *;
Your second example using the 'query_macro' looks like something I was looking for. But it doesn't seem to be of general use that supports an arbitrary number of arguments.
FROM (
(with
baz as (from baz101(500)),
bar as (from bar1(arg1, arg2))
from foo
)
UNION ALL
(with
baz as (from baz201(300)),
bar as (from bar2(arg3, arg4))
from foo
)
UNION ALL
...
)
SELECT *;
When you pass table arguments to a macro, don't pass them as a parameter to the macro, instead make a subquery and give it the name that `foo` expects.
