Description¶

The main characteristics are:

Process is done only on edges with positive costs.
Values are returned when there is a path.
When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the same, there is no path.
- The agg_cost the non included values (v, v) is 0
When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the different and there is no path:
- The agg_cost the non included values (u, v) is \(\infty\)
Running time (worse case scenario): \(O((V \log V + E))\)
For large graphs where there is a path bewtween the starting vertex and ending vertex:
- It is expected to terminate faster than pgr_dijkstra

Parameters¶

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
edges_sql	`TEXT`		Inner SQL query as described below.
start_vid	`BIGINT`		Identifier of the starting vertex of the path.
start_vids	`ARRAY[BIGINT]`		Array of identifiers of starting vertices.
end_vid	`BIGINT`		Identifier of the ending vertex of the path.
end_vids	`ARRAY[BIGINT]`		Array of identifiers of ending vertices.
directed	`BOOLEAN`	`true`	When `true` Graph is considered Directed When `false` the graph is considered as Undirected.

Inner query¶

Column	Type	Default	Description
id	`ANY-INTEGER`		Identifier of the edge.
source	`ANY-INTEGER`		Identifier of the first end point vertex of the edge.
target	`ANY-INTEGER`		Identifier of the second end point vertex of the edge.
cost	`ANY-NUMERICAL`		Weight of the edge (source, target) When negative: edge (source, target) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.
reverse_cost	`ANY-NUMERICAL`	-1	Weight of the edge (target, source), When negative: edge (target, source) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.

Where:

ANY-INTEGER:	SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT
ANY-NUMERICAL:	SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT, REAL, FLOAT

Result Columns¶

Returns SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Column	Type	Description
start_vid	`BIGINT`	Identifier of the starting vertex. Used when multiple starting vetrices are in the query.
end_vid	`BIGINT`	Identifier of the ending vertex. Used when multiple ending vertices are in the query.
agg_cost	`FLOAT`	Aggregate cost from `start_vid` to `end_vid`.
