Window Function LISTAGG
08 Jul 2019This article is an extension of the window function, to follow up on each of the window functions.
The LISTAGG
function will aggregate values that are collected within the window defined by the partition expression.
In this example, we’ll list each sale in the database; adding a column at the end which will list all of the salespeople who made a sale on that particular day.
This emits a dataset as follows:
sale_date | listagg |
