MAPVALUES

Returns a string representation of the top-level values from a VMap. This transform function requires an over() clause.

Arguments

VMap_data

The VMap from which values should be returned. The VMap can exist as:

  • The __raw__ column of a flex table
  • Data returned from a map function such as maplookup()
  • Other database content

Examples

The following example shows how to query a darkmountain flex table, using an over() clause (in this case, the over(PARTITION BEST) clause) with mapvalues().
