Select partitions based on matches in other table

Question

Having the following table (conversations):

 id | record_id  |  is_response  |         text         |
 ---+------------+---------------+------------         


        

Answer 1

Here's my take:

SELECT
    record_id,
    string_agg(text, ' ' ORDER BY id) AS context
FROM (
    SELECT
        *,
        coalesce(sum(incl::integer) OVER (ORDER BY id ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 1 PRECEDING),0) AS grp
    FROM (
        SELECT *, is_response AND text IN (SELECT text FROM responses) as incl
        FROM conversations
         ) c
     ) c1
GROUP BY record_id, grp
HAVING bool_or(incl)
ORDER BY max(id);

This will scan the table conversations once, but I am not sure if it will perform better than your solution. The basic idea is to use a window function to count how maybe preceding rows within the same record, end the conversation. Then we can group by with that number and the record_id and discard incomplete conversations.
