Your comments and questions wanted!

So once in a while I'll take a look at my blog statistics, and while I don't exactly have a vast readership, I do find that my most-read post by far is Postgres Query Using Window Functions. Here are the stats:


 

I'd like to write more on this apparently popular topic - I just need some inspiration for specific questions and/or use cases to experiment with. So if anyone reading this has a specific question on window functions (or anything else for that matter), I'd be happy to attempt to answer!

Feel free to just ask away in the comments!

From the "Databases at CERN" blog...

"My experience testing the Oracle In-Memory Column Store" The post is from 2014 but I just stumbled across it Googling for benchmarks for the Oracle In-Memory Column Store...Just purely out of curiosity. Cool to see that CERN made good use of it! Though I can't say I understand the physics analysis query they use as an example. :D

mwrynn PL/SQL table API now on github!

See title. :)

https://github.com/mwrynn/plsql-table

This inspires me to work on it some more - clean it up, document better, add new stuff. (Would really love to add column groupings/tags. i.e. tag a bunch of columns as "dimension" for example, and tell call an easy-peasy function to just "grab all columns tagged as 'dimension'"...
