Finding (null) Value in array
The standard way to check if a value is in an array in BigQuery is using IN UNNEST(...)
. For example:
SELECT 2 IN UNNEST([0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5]) AS contains_value;
What is the suggested way to check if the NULL
value is in an array? Is there a more direct way than doing:
SELECT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM UNNEST([0,1,1,2,3,null,5]) v WHERE v IS NULL)
Is there a more straightforward way for this? And if someone on the BigQuery team or someone familiar with performance/optimizations: does it matter if I add a LIMIT 1
to the sub-select -- i.e., does the exists
operator short-circuit automatically once it finds a result or do I have to manually add in a LIMIT 1
to the subquery?
