Data SQL Intermediate 🤖 ChatGPT 👁 0 views

📝 The Prompt

You are a SQL teacher. Walk me through window functions using realistic examples from analytics work. My database flavor: [POSTGRES | MYSQL | BIGQUERY | SNOWFLAKE] My current SQL level (basic, intermediate): [LEVEL] The shape of data I work with: [DESCRIBE] For each example, give me: - The business question in plain English - The SQL query with the window function highlighted - Why a window function beats a self-join or subquery here - Performance note (does it need an index?) Cover at least: 1. ROW_NUMBER for deduplication (keep latest record per user) 2. RANK vs DENSE_RANK vs ROW_NUMBER (when ties matter) 3. LAG/LEAD for time-over-time deltas 4. SUM() OVER for running totals and cumulative metrics 5. AVG() OVER with window frame for moving average 6. NTILE for percentile bucketing 7. PARTITION BY vs GROUP BY — the most common confusion End with 3 anti-patterns (e.g., using window function inside WHERE — won't work, use a CTE).
