I have a theoretical question, so I'm not interested in alternative solutions. Sorry.
Q: Is it possible to get the window running function values for all previous rows, except current?
For example:
with
t(i,x,y) as (
values
(1,1,1),(2,1,3),(3,1,2),
(4,2,4),(5,2,2),(6,2,8)
)
select
t.*,
sum(y) over (partition by x order by i) - y as sum,
max(y) over (partition by x order by i) as max,
count(*) filter (where y > 2) over (partition by x order by i) as cnt
from
t;
Actual result is
i | x | y | sum | max | cnt
---+---+---+-----+-----+-----
1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0
2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1
3 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 1
4 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 1
5 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 1
6 | 2 | 8 | 6 | 8 | 2
(6 rows)
I want to have max and cnt columns behavior like sum column, so, result should be:
i | x | y | sum | max | cnt
---+---+---+-----+-----+-----
1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | 0
2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0
3 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 1
4 | 2 | 4 | 0 | | 0
5 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 1
6 | 2 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 1
(6 rows)
It can be achieved using simple subquery like
select t.*, lag(y,1) over (partition by x order by i) as yy from t
but is it possible using only window function syntax, without subqueries?
