In this chapter, you'll learn what window functions are, and the two basic window function subclauses, ORDER BY and PARTITION BY.

Introduction

Window functions vs GROUP BY

Numbering rows

Numbering Olympic games in ascending order

ORDER BY

Numbering Olympic games in descending order

Numbering Olympic athletes by medals earned

Reigning weightlifting champions

PARTITION BY

Reigning champions by gender

Reigning champions by gender and event

Row numbers with partitioning

Introduction to window functions

In this chapter, you'll learn three practical applications of window functions: fetching values from different parts of the table, ranking rows according to their values, and binning rows into different tables.

Fetching

Future gold medalists

First athlete by name

Last country by name

Ranking

Ranking athletes by medals earned

Ranking athletes from multiple countries

DENSE_RANK's output

Paging

Paging events

Top, middle, and bottom thirds

Fetching, ranking, and paging

In this chapter, you'll learn how to use aggregate functions you're familiar with, like `AVG()` and `SUM()`, as window functions, as well as how to define frames to change a window function's output.

Aggregate window functions

Running totals of athlete medals

Maximum country medals by year

Minimum country medals by year

Frames

Number of rows in a frame

Moving maximum of Scandinavian athletes' medals

Moving maximum of Chinese athletes' medals

Moving averages and totals

Moving average's frame

Moving average of Russian medals

Moving total of countries' medals

Aggregate window functions and frames

In this last chapter, you'll learn some techniques and functions that are useful when used together with window functions.
