    Window Functions in SQL

    Uploaded by

    Window functions allow calculations across rows related to the current row without a GROUP BY clause, preserving the original data structure. They are used to calculate running totals, moving averages, cumulative sums, and more. Window functions have five main clauses: the window function, expression, PARTITION BY, ORDER BY, and ROWS frame specification. An example query calculates the running total revenue for each product ordered by date using a window function without changing the original data.

    Window Functions allow you to perform

    calculations across a set of rows that are


    related to the current row, without the need
    for a GROUP BY clause. This means you can
    calculate running totals, moving averages,
    cumulative sums, and much more, all while
    preserving the original data structure.
    1. <window_function>: This is the actual window function you
    want to use, such as ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(),
    DENSE_RANK(), NTILE(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), MAX(), etc.
    2. <expression>: The column or expression on which you want
    to perform the window function.
    3. PARTITION BY: This clause is optional and is used to divide
    the result set into partitions to which the window function will
    be applied.
    4. ORDER BY: This clause is also optional and is used to specify
    the order in which the rows in the result set are ranked.
    5. ROWS <frame_specification>: This clause is also optional
    and is used to define the range of rows within a partition that
    the window function will operate on.
    Suppose we have a table called 'sales'
    with the following data:
    Let's use the example Window Function
    query to calculate the running total of
    revenue for each product, ordered by
    date:
    After applying the Window Function, the
    resulting table looks like this:

    The running_total column shows the


    cumulative sum of the revenue for each
    product_id, ordered by date, without
    changing the original data structure.
