I got the aggregate function for weighted average done. I finely left
alone for more than 10 minutes to actual get it written. It takes 2
value input Weight and the Value. it will sum the weighted entries to
create the constant then does the normal formula, but does not
percentage number but averaged number. A simple change on the return
line it can do percentages.
I did a couple of things a little odd . instead of doing a multi
dimensional array i did a one dimensional array where the 1st row is
Weight and the 2nd row is Value. This made the loop through the array
look stupid.
I tested it across 50,000 records with a group by it took 3.3 seconds to
run.
without the group by clause performance is terrible taking several
minutes just to do the sfunc part. 371,563ms
The Array seems to have performance hit any advice? It could be the
way i'm appending to the Array which has a performance hit as the array
gets bigger and bigger ?
