What is REPEAT() Function
REPEAT() function is used to build a string by repeating the given input for the specified number of times.
Syntax of Repeat function in Snowflake?
-- Syntax :
REPEAT( input, n)
REPEAT() Argument Details :
| first input argument | String value |
| Second input argument | Integer value |
| Output | String value |
Input :
A String which is required to repeat the data.
N :
This Argument helps to repeat the input string depending on the given number. If we require string to repeat n number of times, So that string will be repeated n times . The minimum valid number is 0 which will be resulting in empty string.
How to use REPEAT() Function with Example:
select repeat('xyz', 5);
-----------------+
REPEAT('XY', 5) |
-----------------+
xyzxyzxyzxyzxyz |
-----------------+
As we can see the above example is repeating the given input string for 5 times because here n value is 5.
select repeat('xy', 0);
-----------------+
REPEAT('XY', 0) |
-----------------+
|
-----------------+
As we can see the above example-2 which is resulting as empty string because the number n value is zero (0).
select repeat('xy ', 5);
-----------------+
REPEAT('XY', 5) |
-----------------+
Xy xy xy xy xy |
-----------------+
