• Window Functions Overview

Definition

A window aggregation function that returns the min of rows in a range relative to the current row.

Syntax

window_min(agg_expr)
window_min(agg_expr, order: order_expr, ...)
window_min(agg_expr, range, order: order_expr, ...)
window_min(agg_expr, range, order: order_expr, ..., reset: partition_expr, ...)
window_min(agg_expr, range, order: order_expr, ..., partition: partition_expr, ...)

Examples

window_min(count(users.id))
window_min(count(users.id), order: count(users.id) | desc())
window_min(count(users.id), -2..2, order: users.created_at | month())
window_min(count(users.id), order: users.created_at | month(), reset: users.gender)

Input

• agg_expr (required): An aggregation expression that we want to find min of.
• range (optional): A range of rows to include in the min. Negative values indicate rows before the current row, and positive values indicate rows after the current row, while 0 indicates the current row. If the beginning or end of the range is not specified, the range will include all rows from the beginning or end of the table. By default, if the range is not specified:
  • If order is specified, the range is ..0 (from the first row to the current row).
  • If order is not specified, the range is .. (from the first row to the last row).
• order (required, repeatable): A field that is used for ordering. The order is default to ascending. The order can be set explicitly with asc() or desc().
  danger

  If the specified order does not uniquely identify rows, the result of the function can be non-deterministic. For example, if you use order: users.age, and there are multiple users with the same age in the same partition, the result can be unexpected.

• partition or reset (repeatable, optional): A field that is used for partitioning the table. If partitions are not specified:
  • If order is specified, the table will be partitioned by all other grouping columns.
  • If order is not specified, the table will be considered as a single partition.

Output

The min of the current row and the rows within the specified range.
