數據庫窗口函數詳解：語法、技巧與最佳實踐

窗口函數是SQL中用于執行復雜分析的強大工具，它允許在結果集的"窗口"（一組相關行）上進行計算，而不會將行分組為單個輸出行。下面我將全面解析窗口函數的語法、應用場景和關鍵注意事項。

一、窗口函數核心語法

基本結構

SELECTcolumn1,column2,window_function() OVER ([PARTITION BY partition_expression][ORDER BY sort_expression [ASC|DESC]][frame_clause]) AS result_column
FROM table_name;

核心組件解析

組件	描述	示例
PARTITION BY	將結果集劃分為多個分區	PARTITION BY department
ORDER BY	定義分區內的排序順序	ORDER BY hire_date DESC
frame_clause	定義窗口框架（計算范圍）	ROWS BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND 1 FOLLOWING
窗口函數	執行具體計算	ROW_NUMBER(), SUM(salary)

二、窗口函數分類與應用

1. 排名函數

函數	描述	特點
ROW_NUMBER()	分配唯一序號	無并列排名
RANK()	允許并列排名	留出空位 (1,2,2,4)
DENSE_RANK()	允許并列排名	不留空位 (1,2,2,3)
NTILE(n)	將數據分為n組	用于分位數計算

示例：

SELECT employee_id,department,salary,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rank
FROM employees;

2. 分析函數

函數	描述	應用場景
LAG(column, n)	獲取前n行值	環比分析
LEAD(column, n)	獲取后n行值	趨勢預測
FIRST_VALUE(column)	分區第一個值	基準比較
LAST_VALUE(column)	分區最后一個值	最終狀態
NTH_VALUE(column, n)	分區第n個值	特定位置

示例：

SELECT date,sales,LAG(sales, 1) OVER (ORDER BY date) AS prev_day_sales,sales - LAG(sales, 1) OVER (ORDER BY date) AS daily_growth
FROM daily_sales;

3. 聚合函數

函數	描述	特點
SUM()	窗口內求和	支持框架定義
AVG()	窗口內平均	自動忽略NULL
COUNT()	窗口內計數	DISTINCT可用
MIN()/MAX()	窗口內極值	性能優化

示例：

SELECT product_id,month,revenue,AVG(revenue) OVER (PARTITION BY product_id ORDER BY month ROWS BETWEEN 2 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS moving_avg
FROM product_sales;

三、窗口框架詳解

框架語法

{ROWS | RANGE} BETWEEN frame_start AND frame_end

框架邊界選項

選項	描述
UNBOUNDED PRECEDING	分區開始
n PRECEDING	當前行前n行
CURRENT ROW	當前行
n FOLLOWING	當前行后n行
UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING	分區結束

常用框架模式

-- 累計計算（默認）
ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW-- 移動平均（3期）
ROWS BETWEEN 2 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW-- 中心移動平均
ROWS BETWEEN 1 PRECEDING AND 1 FOLLOWING-- 季度累計
RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '3' MONTH PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW

四、窗口函數注意事項

1. 性能優化

• 索引策略：在PARTITION BY和ORDER BY列上創建索引

  CREATE INDEX idx_dept_hire ON employees(department, hire_date);
  

• 避免全表掃描：配合WHERE條件減少數據量

  SELECT ... FROM sales WHERE year = 2023
  

• 框架范圍：限制窗口大小提高性能

  ROWS BETWEEN 30 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW -- 優于UNBOUNDED
  

2. 排序與NULL處理

• NULL排序：明確指定NULL位置

  ORDER BY salary DESC NULLS LAST
  

• 并列處理：RANK vs DENSE_RANK的選擇
• 確定性：ROW_NUMBER()需要唯一排序鍵

  ORDER BY hire_date, employee_id -- 確保唯一
  

3. 常見陷阱與解決方案

陷阱1：LAST_VALUE錯誤

-- 默認框架導致錯誤
SELECT employee_id,hire_date,LAST_VALUE(hire_date) OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY hire_date) AS last_hire
FROM employees;

修復：

LAST_VALUE(hire_date) OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY hire_dateROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
)

陷阱2：移動平均邊界

-- 前3行包括當前行
ROWS BETWEEN 3 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW

陷阱3：分區與排序缺失

-- 缺少ORDER BY導致未定義行為
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY department) -- 錯誤！

4. 多窗口管理

SELECTemployee_id,department,salary,-- 部門排名RANK() OVER w_dept AS dept_rank,-- 公司排名RANK() OVER w_company AS company_rank,-- 部門薪資占比salary / SUM(salary) OVER w_dept AS salary_pct
FROM employees
WINDOW w_dept AS (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC),w_company AS (ORDER BY salary DESC);

五、高級技巧與應用

1. 時間序列分析

SELECTdate,sales,-- 7日移動平均AVG(sales) OVER (ORDER BY date ROWS BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS ma_7d,-- 同比變化sales / LAG(sales, 365) OVER (ORDER BY date) - 1 AS yoy_growth
FROM daily_sales;

2. 會話分割

SELECTuser_id,event_time,event_type,SUM(session_start) OVER (ORDER BY event_time) AS session_id
FROM (SELECT *,CASE WHEN event_time - LAG(event_time) OVER w > INTERVAL '30' MINUTE THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS session_startFROM user_eventsWINDOW w AS (PARTITION BY user_id ORDER BY event_time)
) t;

3. 漏斗分析

SELECTuser_id,MAX(CASE WHEN event = 'view' THEN event_time END) AS view_time,MAX(CASE WHEN event = 'cart' THEN event_time END) AS cart_time,DATEDIFF(MAX(CASE WHEN event = 'cart' THEN event_time END),MAX(CASE WHEN event = 'view' THEN event_time END)) AS view_to_cart_days
FROM (SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY user_id, event ORDER BY event_time) AS event_seqFROM user_eventsWHERE event IN ('view', 'cart')
) t
WHERE event_seq = 1
GROUP BY user_id;

六、各數據庫差異對比

特性	MySQL 8.0+	PostgreSQL	SQL Server	Oracle
支持版本	≥8.0	全支持	≥2005	≥9i
函數覆蓋	完整	最完整	完整	完整
RANGE處理	支持	支持	支持	支持
命名窗口	支持	支持	不支持	支持
EXCLUDE子句	?	??	?	?
性能優化	一般	優秀	優秀	優秀

七、性能優化策略

1. 執行計劃分析

-- MySQL
EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON
SELECT ... OVER (PARTITION BY ...) FROM ...;-- 關注"windowing"操作成本

2. 物化中間結果

-- 復雜計算分步進行
WITH ranked AS (SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY dept ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rnFROM employees
)
SELECT * FROM ranked WHERE rn <= 3;

3. 避免嵌套窗口

-- 低效嵌套
SELECT AVG(salary) OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY hire_date
) FROM (SELECT *, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY ...) ...
)-- 高效替代
SELECT *,AVG(salary) OVER w,RANK() OVER w
FROM employees
WINDOW w AS (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY hire_date)

八、最佳實踐總結

1. 明確窗口范圍：始終定義ROWS/RANGE框架

2. 索引優化：PARTITION BY和ORDER BY列加索引

3. NULL處理：使用COALESCE或指定NULLS FIRST/LAST

4. 性能監控：分析窗口函數執行計劃

5. 代碼可讀性：

   -- 使用命名窗口
   WINDOW dept_window AS (PARTITION BY dept ORDER BY salary DESC)SELECT RANK() OVER dept_window,AVG(salary) OVER dept_window
   FROM employees
   

6. 測試邊界條件：

   • 分區只有一行時
   • NULL值在排序首位/末位
   • 相同排序鍵的行

7. 適用場景選擇：

   場景	推薦函數
   排名	ROW_NUMBER, RANK
   趨勢分析	LAG, LEAD
   累計計算	SUM + UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
   移動平均	AVG + 固定窗口
   百分比計算	CUME_DIST, PERCENT_RANK

九、進階示例：市場分析

WITH monthly_sales AS (SELECTregion,product_category,DATE_TRUNC('month', order_date) AS month,SUM(sales_amount) AS total_salesFROM ordersGROUP BY 1,2,3
)
SELECTregion,product_category,month,total_sales,-- 區域排名RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY region ORDER BY total_sales DESC) AS region_rank,-- 類別占比total_sales / SUM(total_sales) OVER (PARTITION BY region, month) AS region_pct,-- 月度增長total_sales / LAG(total_sales) OVER (PARTITION BY region, product_category ORDER BY month) - 1 AS mom_growth,-- 最佳月份FIRST_VALUE(total_sales) OVER (PARTITION BY region, product_category ORDER BY total_sales DESC) AS peak_sales
FROM monthly_sales
ORDER BY region, month;
