Hello,
Adriano dos Santos Fernandes [08-02-09 00.15] :
I asked this because I think it would be useful for statistical calculation such as
median, quartiles ...
If we could have at least OVER PARTITION BY clause with our current aggregate functions
plus the ROW_NUMBER( ) function it would be very useful
Now we have no easy way to do this (with Fb2.1 I simulate some with execute
block,temporary table and CTE, but it is not quite easy to maintain and with lots of data,
insert into temporary table cost a lot of time.
