HLL_TO_BASE64

Description

Converts an input HLL to a base64-encoded string.

Syntax

HLL_TO_BASE64(<hll_input>)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
<hll_input>	The HyperLogLog (HLL) data to be converted to a base64-encoded string.

Return Value

A Base64 encoded string of the HLL. Returns NULL if the HLL is NULL.

::: note

Due to the non-guaranteed order of elements in a HLL, the generated Base64 string may not always be the same for the same content. However, the decoded HLL from hll_from_base64 will be the same.
