Syntax

BIT_AND(expr) [over_clause]

Description

Returns the bitwise AND of all bits in expr. The calculation is performed with 64-bit (BIGINT) precision. It is an aggregate function, and so can be used with the GROUP BY clause.

If no rows match, BIT_AND will return a value with all bits set to 1. NULL values have no effect on the result unless all results are NULL, which is treated as no match.

BIT_AND can be used as a window function with the addition of the over_clause.

Examples

CREATE TABLE vals (x INT);

INSERT INTO vals VALUES(111),(110),(100);

SELECT BIT_AND(x), BIT_OR(x), BIT_XOR(x) FROM vals;
+------------+-----------+------------+
| BIT_AND(x) | BIT_OR(x) | BIT_XOR(x) |
+------------+-----------+------------+
|        100 |       111 |        101 |
+------------+-----------+------------+

As an aggregate function:

CREATE TABLE vals2 (category VARCHAR(1), x INT);

INSERT INTO vals2 VALUES
  ('a',111),('a',110),('a',100),
  ('b','000'),('b',001),('b',011);

SELECT category, BIT_AND(x), BIT_OR(x), BIT_XOR(x) 
  FROM vals GROUP BY category;
+----------+------------+-----------+------------+
| category | BIT_AND(x) | BIT_OR(x) | BIT_XOR(x) |
+----------+------------+-----------+------------+
| a        |        100 |       111 |        101 |
| b        |          0 |        11 |         10 |
+----------+------------+-----------+------------+

No match:

SELECT BIT_AND(NULL);
+----------------------+
| BIT_AND(NULL)        |
+----------------------+
