APPLY_NORMALIZE

A UDTF function that applies the normalization parameters saved in a model to a set of specified input columns.

A UDTF function that applies the normalization parameters saved in a model to a set of specified input columns. If any column specified in the function is not in the model, its data passes through unchanged to APPLY_NORMALIZE.

Syntax

APPLY_NORMALIZE ( input-columns USING PARAMETERS model_name = 'model-name');

Arguments

input-columns
Comma-separated list of columns to use from the input relation, or asterisk (*) to select all columns. If you supply an asterisk, APPLY_NORMALIZE normalizes all columns in the model.

Parameters

model_name

Name of the model (case-insensitive).

Examples

The following example creates a model with NORMALIZE_FIT using the wt and hp columns in table mtcars , and then uses this model in successive calls to APPLY_NORMALIZE and REVERSE_NORMALIZE.

=> SELECT NORMALIZE_FIT('mtcars_normfit', 'mtcars', 'wt,hp', 'minmax');
NORMALIZE_FIT
---------------
Success
(1 row)

The following call to APPLY_NORMALIZE specifies the hp and cyl columns in table mtcars, where hp is in the normalization model and cyl is not in the normalization model:

=> CREATE TABLE mtcars_normalized AS SELECT APPLY_NORMALIZE (hp, cyl USING PARAMETERS model_name = 'mtcars_normfit') FROM mtcars;
CREATE TABLE
=> SELECT * FROM mtcars_normalized;
          hp        | cyl
