How to Count Distinct Users in esProc SPL?

 

Hi everyone,

I am working with esProc SPL and SQL to handle complex data processing tasks. I have a dataset from a weblogs table and I need to count the distinct users who visited specific pages within a certain date range.

SQL Approach:

Copy code
SELECT page, COUNT(DISTINCT userID) AS unique_visitors
FROM weblogs
WHERE logDate BETWEEN '2023-01-01' AND '2023-01-31'
GROUP BY page;

This SQL query filters the logs by date, groups the results by page, and counts the distinct user IDs for each page. I am trying to achieve the same result using esProc SPL.

My current esProc SPL code:

= connect("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/world?user=root&password=5683")
= A1.query("SELECT * FROM `weblogs`")
= A2.select(date(logDate) >= date("2023-01-01") && date(logDate) <= date("2023-01-31"))
= A3.group(page; ~.userID.distinct().count():unique_visitors)

However, I’m not sure if this is the correct way to count distinct users for each page. Can someone help me verify or correct this code?

Thanks in advance for your help!
