string_agg function: This function is used for string aggregation or concatenation within groups of rows. It takes an expression (usually a column) and concatenates the values of that expression across rows in a group, separated by a specified delimiter.
For example, suppose you have a table of orders and you want to concatenate the names of products for each order, separated by commas:
SELECT order_id, string_agg(product_name, ', ') AS products
FROM order_details
GROUP BY order_id;
In this query, string_agg(product_name, ', ') concatenates the product_name values for each order, separated by commas.
It's a useful function for creating comma-separated lists or combining text values within groups when working with SQL in PostgreSQL.
