Function datafusion_expr::expr_fn::approx_distinct

pub fn approx_distinct(expr: Expr) -> Expr

Returns the approximate number of distinct input values. This function provides an approximation of count(DISTINCT x). Zero is returned if all input values are null. This function should produce a standard error of 0.81%, which is the standard deviation of the (approximately normal) error distribution over all possible sets. It does not guarantee an upper bound on the error for any specific input set.
