benj commented on CALCITE-3402:
-------------------------------
With Drill 1.16 and 1.17 (from 2019-10-14) ROWS is not either possible.
{code:sql}
Error: UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION ERROR: This type of window frame is currently not
supported
See Apache Drill JIRA: DRILL-3188
{code}
More precisely with ORDER BY, the only possibilities to write ROWS clause are
(the 2 possibilities are identical) :
* ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND current row
* ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
>>If you use {{RANGE}} with a composite {{ORDER BY}}, does PostgreSQL apply the
>>range to just the first key? The documentation you referenced does not say.
No Postgres apply all the key and then apply the range on
{noformat}
The ORDER BY option determines the order in which the rows of a partition are
processed by the window function. It works similarly to a query-level ORDER BY
clause, but likewise cannot use output-column names or numbers. Without ORDER
BY, rows are processed in an unspecified order.{noformat}
in practice, with a table _tex_
{noformat}
a,b,c
1,1,1
2,2,1
3,2,2
4,3,1
5,3,2
6,3,3{noformat}
you can do
{code:sql}
-- Postgres
SELECT *
, last_value(a) OVER(ORDER BY b RANGE BETWEEN unbounded PRECEDING AND unbounded
FOLLOWING) sort_b
, last_value(a) OVER(ORDER BY b, c DESC RANGE BETWEEN unbounded PRECEDING AND
unbounded FOLLOWING) sort_b_and_c
FROM tex
WHERE a = 4
-- =>
4;3;1;6;4
-- The result of columns 4 and 5 well depends of all compound of the ORDER BY
-- !Postgres

> I know it's possible (for last_value) to rewrite with first_value with an
> reverse ORDER BY and without RANGE to obtain correct result.
> But it will become sometimes less readable and request write from other SGBDR
> will not be compatible and should be rewrite, and for some other function
> than last_value, the problem will not be solved like that.
