Description

Use window functions to write simpler, better, more efficient T-SQL queries  Most T-SQL developers recognize the value of window functions for data analysis calculations.

But they can do far more, and recent optimizations make them even more powerful.

In T-SQL Window Functions, renowned T-SQL expert Itzik Ben-Gan introduces breakthrough techniques for using them to handle many common T-SQL querying tasks with unprecedented elegance and power.

Using extensive code examples, he guides you through window aggregate, ranking, distribution, offset, and ordered set functions.

You’ll find a detailed section on optimization, plus an extensive collection of business solutions — including novel techniques available in no other book.   Microsoft MVP Itzik Ben-Gan shows how to: • Use window functions to improve queries you previously built with predicates • Master essential SQL windowing concepts, and efficiently design window functions • Effectively utilize partitioning, ordering, and framing • Gain practical in-depth insight into window aggregate, ranking, offset, and statistical functions • Understand how the SQL standard supports ordered set functions, and find working solutions for functions not yet available in the language • Preview advanced Row Pattern Recognition (RPR) data analysis techniques • Optimize window functions in SQL Server and Azure SQL Database, making the most of indexing, parallelism, and more • Discover a full library of window function solutions for common business problems   About This Book • For developers, DBAs, data analysts, data scientists, BI professionals, and power users familiar with T-SQL queries • Addresses any edition of the SQL Server 2019 database engine or later, as well as Azure SQL Database   Get all code samples at: MicrosoftPressStore.com/TSQLWindowFunctions/downloads
