SELECT empnum, SUM (salary)
OVER (ORDER BY empnum ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING)
FROM persnl.employee;
• Return the running sum of the SALARY column within each department:
SELECT deptnum, empnum, SUM (salary)
OVER (PARTITION BY deptnum ORDER BY empnum ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING)
FROM persnl.employee;
• Return the moving sum of the SALARY column within each department over a window of
the last 4 rows:
SELECT deptnum, empnum, SUM (salary)
OVER (PARTITION BY deptnum ORDER BY empnum ROWS 3 PRECEDING)
FROM persnl.employee;
VARIANCE Function
VARIANCE is a window function that returns the variance of non null values of the given
expression for the current window specified by the inline-window-specification..
VARIANCE ([ALL | DISTINCT] expression) OVER (inline-window-specification)
inline-window-specification is:
[PARTITION BY expression [, expression]...]
[ORDER BY {colname} [ASC[ENDING] | DESC[ENDING]]
[,{colname} [ASC[ENDING] | DESC[ENDING]]]...]
[ window-frame-clause ]
window-frame-clause is:
ROWS CURRENT ROW
| ROWS preceding-row
| ROWS BETWEEN preceding-row AND preceding-row
| ROWS BETWEEN preceding-row AND CURRENT ROW
| ROWS BETWEEN preceding-row AND following-row
| ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND CURRENT ROW
| ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND following-row
| ROWS BETWEEN following-row AND following-row
preceding-row is:
UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
| unsigned-integer PRECEDING
following-row is:
UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
| unsigned-integer FOLLOWING
ALL | DISTINCT
specifies whether duplicate values are included in the computation of the VARIANCE of the
expression. The default option is ALL, which causes duplicate values to be included.
DISTINCT is not supported for window functions.
expression
specifies a numeric or interval value expression that determines the values over which the
variance is computed.
See “Expressions” (page 218).
inline-window-specification
specifies the window over which the VARIANCE is computed. The
inline-window-specification can contain an optional PARTITION BY clause, an
optional ORDER BY clause and an optional window frame clause. The PARTITION BY clause
specifies how the intermediate result is partitioned and the ORDER BY clause specifies how
the rows are ordered within each partition.
