Oracle determines the argument with the highest numeric precedence and implicitly converts the remaining arguments to that data type. The arguments can be any numeric data type or any nonnumeric data type that can be implicitly converted to a numeric data type. Specify the name of an analytic function (see the listing of analytic functions following this discussion of semantics).Īnalytic functions take 0 to 3 arguments. The semantics of this syntax are discussed in the sections that follow. Therefore, analytic functions can appear only in the select list or ORDER BY clause.Īnalytic functions are commonly used to compute cumulative, moving, centered, and reporting aggregates.ĭescription of the illustration ''analytic_function.gif''ĭescription of the illustration ''analytic_clause.gif''ĭescription of the illustration ''query_partition_clause.gif''ĭescription of the illustration ''order_by_clause.gif''ĭescription of the illustration ''windowing_clause.gif'' All joins and all WHERE, GROUP BY, and HAVING clauses are completed before the analytic functions are processed. Window sizes can be based on either a physical number of rows or a logical interval such as time.Īnalytic functions are the last set of operations performed in a query except for the final ORDER BY clause. The window determines the range of rows used to perform the calculations for the current row.

For each row, a sliding window of rows is defined. The group of rows is called a window and is defined by the analytic_clause. They differ from aggregate functions in that they return multiple rows for each group. Send us feedback.Analytic functions compute an aggregate value based on a group of rows.
