简介
窗口函数（Window Function）是 SQL:2013 标准中提出的，在后续标准版本的更新中也多次扩展，最新的版本是 SQL:2011 中的标准。
从某些方面来说，窗口函数与聚合函数（Aggregate Function）有些类似，他们都是对一系列的行进行聚合计算，然而不同于聚合函数的是，窗口函数的输出并不是被聚集到单独的一行。像 SUM, AVG, COUNT 这些聚合函数最终输出都是一行记录。
窗口函数可以通过计算每行周围窗口上的集合值来分析数据，例如：计算一定记录范围内、一定值域内、或者一段时间内的累计和以及移动平均值等等。之所以使用窗口这个术语，是因为对结果的处理使用了一个滑动的查询结果集范围。
大部分数据库，尤其是商业数据库都支持SQL标准中定义的部分窗口函数，但是MySQL一直没有支持这个特性。窗口函数在MySQL社区一直呼声很高，却一直没有被实现，直到 MairaDB 10.2 响应了客户的需求，实现了部分窗口函数，并且在持续完善中，我们就来简单介绍一下 MairaDB 的窗口函数。
语法
MariaDB的窗口函数查询指定使用 OVER 关键字，默认情况下，用于计算的行集合（Window，窗口）是整个数据集，并且可以用 ORDER BY 子句排序。PARTITION BY 子句可以用于将窗口缩小到特定的集合内。
使用语法：
function (expression) OVER (
[ PARTITION BY expression_list ]
[ ORDER BY order_list [ frame_clause ] ] )
function:
A valid window function
expression_list:
expression | column_name [, expr_list ]
order_list:
expression | column_name [ ASC | DESC ]
[, ... ]
frame_clause:

例如，给出下面的原始数据：
CREATE TABLE student (name CHAR(10), test CHAR(10), score TINYINT);
INSERT INTO student VALUES
('Chun', 'SQL', 75), ('Chun', 'Tuning', 73),
('Esben', 'SQL', 43), ('Esben', 'Tuning', 31),
('Kaolin', 'SQL', 56), ('Kaolin', 'Tuning', 88),
('Tatiana', 'SQL', 87), ('Tatiana', 'Tuning', 83);

下面两个查询可以分别返回按 test 和 name 分区处理的平均数：
SELECT name, test, score, AVG(score) OVER (PARTITION BY test)
AS average_by_test FROM student;
+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+
| name | test | score | average_by_test |
+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+
| Chun | SQL | 75 | 65.2500 |
| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 68.7500 |
| Esben | SQL | 43 | 65.2500 |
| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 68.7500 |
| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 65.2500 |
| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 68.7500 |
| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 65.2500 |
| Tatiana | Tuning | 83 | 68.7500 |
+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+
SELECT name, test, score, AVG(score) OVER (PARTITION BY name)
AS average_by_name FROM student;
+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+
| name | test | score | average_by_name |
+---------+--------+-------+-----------------+
| Chun | SQL | 75 | 74.0000 |
| Chun | Tuning | 73 | 74.0000 |
| Esben | SQL | 43 | 37.0000 |
| Esben | Tuning | 31 | 37.0000 |
| Kaolin | SQL | 56 | 72.0000 |
| Kaolin | Tuning | 88 | 72.0000 |
| Tatiana | SQL | 87 | 85.0000 |

语法：
RANK() OVER (
[ PARTITION BY partition_expression ]
[ ORDER BY order_list ]
)

总结
- 支持 ROWS 和 RANGE类型的Frame
- 各种类型的Frame界定都支持，包括 RANGE PRECEDING | FOLLOWING n个Frame范围（不同于PostgreSQL 和 SQL Server）
- RANGE类型的Frame 还不支持 DATE[TIME] 数据类型和四则运算，但MDEV-9727正在进行开发
- 还不支持 GROUPS类型的Frame（但好像还没有流行的数据库有支持这玩意的）
- 不支持禁用Frame（好像也没其他数据库支持）
- 不支持显式的 NULLS FIRST 和 NULLS LAST
- 不支持窗口函数嵌套处理（就是VALUE_OF(expr AT row_marker [, default_value) 这种语法）
- 下面这些窗口函数都支持：
- “Streamable（流式）” 窗口函数：ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK
- 一旦分区中的行数知道后，就可以流式处理的窗口函数：PERCENT_RANK, CUME_DIST, NTILE
- 目前支持窗口函数的聚合函数有： COUNT, SUM, AVG, BIT_OR, BIT_AND, BIT_XOR
- 包含 DISTINCT 子句的聚合函数不支持作为窗口函数
