percent of total revenue?

2. What are the top 5 and bottom 5 Called Countries by market in

February?

and by Consumer vs Business?

4. What is the average revenue and MOU for each decile of the
consumer base in February?

5. Which customers had the biggest increases in their MOU from

January to February?

 Business needs beyond SQL (1 of 2)

• Data Warehouse power users know:

• Their business
• Their data
• SQL

• Data Warehouse power users want:

• Reduce SQL coding complexity
• Less “steps”
• Less DERIVED tables
• Do more in Teradata SQL, less in Excel

 Business needs beyond SQL (2 of 2)

• Data Warehouse power users Often turn to Excel:

• Computed figures available along detail rows
• Aggregated figures available along detail rows
• SUM, AVG, COUNT, MIN, MAX
• Target different window of data rows
• All rows
• A specific number of rows
• Row immediately before/after current row
• Row position (7,13) before/after current row
• All rows before/after current row

After all power users count on the Data Warehouse

power and usability to answer…..

What are we talking about?
• Give it a name
• OLAP Functions (On Line Analytical Processing)
• Window Aggregate Functions
• Ordered Analytical Functions
• What are Ordered Analytical Functions?
• Like traditional aggregate functions, window aggregate functions operate
on groups of rows and permit qualification and filtering of the group
result. Unlike aggregations, OLAP functions also return individual detail
rows, not just aggregations.
• How they work
• The window feature is ANSI SQL-99 compliant and provides a way to
dynamically define a subset of data, or window, in an ordered relational
database table. A window is specified by the OVER() phrase, which can
include the following clauses inside the parentheses:
• PARTITION BY
• ORDER BY
• ROWS

OLAP Functions Types

All Windows Aggregate functions fall into one of four types.

Group Window -
Aggregates based on a grouping of rows.
Cumulative Window -
Aggregates based on a cumulation of rows.
Moving Window -
Aggregates based on a moving window of rows.
Remaining Window -
Aggregates based on the rows remaining outside of a defined window.

Each choice is determined by the ROWS clause defined in the query.

Each choice is used with one of the following aggregate functions:

• AVG • SUM
• COUNT • RANK
• MAX • PERCENT_RANK
• MIN • ROW_NUMBER
