We've been applying an unnecessary group by to the time spine dataset. Previously, we were applying group bys whenever a
DATE_TRUNC
column was included in the select statement, even if the base grain was included in the select statement. These group bys are unnecessary, because If there is noDATE_TRUNC
applied to one select column, then none of the columns will be changed by the group by. For example:will return the same result as:
The results are the same, but the first query is inefficient because of the unnecessary group by. This PR removes the unnecessary group bys.
Note that if the base grain is not included, the group by is still necessary.
I recommend reviewing by commit because the number of snapshot changes is very large.
