Motivazione

Query

WITH Discus_Gold AS (
  SELECT
    Year, Event, Country AS Champion
  FROM Summer_Medals
  WHERE
    Year IN (2004, 2008, 2012)
    AND Gender = 'Men' AND Medal = 'Gold'
    AND Event IN ('Discus Throw', 'Triple Jump')
    AND Gender = 'Men')

SELECT
  Year, Event, Champion,
  LAG(Champion) OVER
    (ORDER BY Event ASC, Year ASC) AS Last_Champion
FROM Discus_Gold
ORDER BY Event ASC, Year ASC;

Risultato

| Year | Event        | Champion | Last_Champion |
|------|--------------|----------|---------------|
| 2004 | Discus Throw | LTU      | null          |
| 2008 | Discus Throw | EST      | LTU           |
| 2012 | Discus Throw | GER      | EST           |
| 2004 | Triple Jump  | SWE      | GER           |
| 2008 | Triple Jump  | POR      | SWE           |
| 2012 | Triple Jump  | USA      | POR           |

Quando Event passa da Discus Throw a Triple Jump, LAG ha preso l’ultimo campione di Discus Throw invece di null

Ecco PARTITION BY

PARTITION BY divide la tabella in partizioni in base ai valori unici di una colonna
- I risultati non sono fusi in un’unica colonna
La funzione finestra opera su ciascuna partizione separatamente
- ROW_NUMBER si azzera per ogni partizione
- LAG recupera il valore precedente solo se la riga precedente è nella stessa partizione

Partizionare per una colonna

Query

WITH Discus_Gold AS (...)

SELECT
  Year, Event, Champion,
  LAG(Champion) OVER
    (PARTITION BY Event
     ORDER BY Event ASC, Year ASC) AS Last_Champion
FROM Discus_Gold
ORDER BY Event ASC, Year ASC;

Risultato

| Year | Event        | Champion | Last_Champion |
|------|--------------|----------|---------------|
| 2004 | Discus Throw | LTU      | null          |
| 2008 | Discus Throw | EST      | LTU           |
| 2012 | Discus Throw | GER      | EST           |
| 2004 | Triple Jump  | SWE      | null          |
| 2008 | Triple Jump  | POR      | SWE           |
| 2012 | Triple Jump  | USA      | POR           |

Partizionamento più complesso

| Year | Country | Event                | Row_N |
|------|---------|----------------------|-------|
| 2008 | CHN     | + 78KG (Heavyweight) | 1     |
| 2008 | CHN     | - 49 KG              | 2     |
| ...  | ...     | ...                  | ...   |
| 2008 | JPN     | 48 - 55KG            | 27    |
| 2008 | JPN     | 48 - 55KG            | 28    |
| ...  | ...     | ...                  | ...   |
| 2012 | CHN     | +75KG                | 32    |
| 2012 | CHN     | - 49 KG              | 33    |
| ...  | ...     | ...                  | ...   |
| 2012 | JPN     | +75KG                | 51    |
| 2012 | JPN     | - 49 KG              | 52    |
| ...  | ...     | ...                  | ...   |

Il numero di riga dovrebbe azzerarsi per Year e Country

Partizionare per più colonne

Query

WITH Country_Gold AS (
  SELECT
    DISTINCT Year, Country, Event
  FROM Summer_Medals
  WHERE
    Year IN (2008, 2012)
    AND Country IN ('CHN', 'JPN')
    AND Gender = 'Women' AND Medal = 'Gold')

SELECT
  Year, Country, Event,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Year, Country)
FROM Country_Gold;

Risultato

| Year | Country | Event                | Row_N |
|------|---------|----------------------|-------|
| 2008 | CHN     | + 78KG (Heavyweight) | 1     |
| 2008 | CHN     | - 49 KG              | 2     |
| ...  | ...     | ...                  | ...   |
| 2008 | JPN     | 48 - 55KG            | 1     |
| 2008 | JPN     | 48 - 55KG            | 2     |
| ...  | ...     | ...                  | ...   |
| 2012 | CHN     | +75KG                | 1     |
| 2012 | CHN     | - 49 KG              | 2     |
| ...  | ...     | ...                  | ...   |
| 2012 | JPN     | +75KG                | 1     |
| 2012 | JPN     | - 49 KG              | 2     |
