PostgreSQL多表聚合查询结果异常排查：array_agg返回值不符合预期

Hey there! Let’s dig into why your array_agg isn’t returning the expected combined targeting values for performance ID 1. To get to the bottom of this quickly, could you share a few key pieces of info:

• Your full SQL query (wrap it in sql ... blocks for proper formatting)
• The schema of your tables (column names, and how performance, age targeting, and gender targeting tables are related)
• The actual output you’re seeing vs. your expected output (e.g., expected ['18-24', 'Female'] but got ['18-24'] or duplicate entries)

From what you’ve described, here are some common issues that might be causing this:

• Unfiltered duplicate rows from joins: If your JOIN logic creates duplicate records (e.g., joining performance to age and gender tables without handling one-to-many relationships correctly), array_agg might end up with repeated values or miss entries entirely.
• Missing DISTINCT in array_agg: If duplicates are creeping in from joins, adding DISTINCT inside the aggregate function (like array_agg(DISTINCT target_value)) can clean up the result.
• Split targeting columns/tables: If age and gender targets live in separate columns or tables, you might need to union the values first before aggregating, instead of trying to pull them through multiple joins.
• Incorrect join conditions: Double-check that you’re joining on the correct foreign keys (e.g., performance ID matching the targeting table’s performance reference) — a wrong key could pull in unrelated data or exclude valid targets.

Once you share those details, I can help you tweak the query to get the exact array of targeting values you need!
