TOPN

TOPN​

description​

Syntax​

topn(expr, INT top_num[, INT space_expand_rate])

The topn function uses the Space-Saving algorithm to calculate the top_num frequent items in expr, and the result is the frequent items and their occurrence times, which is an approximation

The space_expand_rate parameter is optional and is used to set the number of counters used in the Space-Saving algorithm

counter numbers = top_num * space_expand_rate

The higher value of space_expand_rate, the more accurate result will be. The default value is 50

example​

MySQL [test]> select topn(keyword,10) from keyword_table where date>= '2020-06-01' and date <= '2020-06-19' ;
