Regular aggregate functions return a single value calculated from values in a row, or group all rows into a single output row. Window functions perform a calculation across a set of rows and return a value for
Both forms define how the window function should process query rows. They differ in whether the window is defined directly in theOVERclause, or supplied by a reference to a named window defined elsewhere in the query: ForOVER (window_spec)syntax, the window specification has several parts, all...

Let's use thefirst_valuefunction in order to solve the very first problem where we were asked to get the name of the highest-paid employee by each department. The function returns the very first values according to the provided window. SELECTid, first_name, department, gross_salary,first_va...

ForOVER (window_spec)syntax, the window specification has several parts, all optional: window_spec: [window_name] [partition_clause] [order_clause] [frame_clause] IfOVER()is empty, the window consists of all query rows and the window function computes a result using all rows. Otherwise, th...
Window function syntax summary Window functions follow a standard syntax, which is as follows. function (expression) OVER ( [ PARTITION BY expr_list ] [ ORDER BY order_list [ frame_clause ] ] ) Here, function is one of the functions described in this section. The expr_list is as follo...
Window function是OLAP的查询中比较常见的SQL construct,提供了“引用临近区域元组”的语义,这种语义使得一些分析型query的编写更加简单,可以避免不必要的相关子查询结构。此外,很多系统(Oracle/PolarDB) 内部也实现了用window function做subquery unnesting,避免相关子查询的低效执行,因此window算子本身的高效实现意义就更大...
In this section we’ll look at some of the specific functions: what they can do for you, and how they work. Note: Depending on your DBMS, you may find additional window functions available, some of which are not part of the SQL standard. RANK The RANK function orders and numbers rows...
Each function uses the rows in the current frame, which, per the window definition shown, extends from the first partition row to the current row. For theNTH_VALUE()calls, the current frame does not always include the requested row; in such cases, the return value isNULL. ...
