Assess the use of aggregate window functions with frame clauses to compute running totals, moving averages, and other cumulative statistics
Differentiate among core window functions such as ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK, LAG, LEAD, FIRST_VALUE, LAST_VALUE, and NTILE based on their operational behavior and analytic applications
Distinguish between ROWS and RANGE frame types and Evaluate their effects on result sets when ordering columns contain duplicate values
Identify the essential syntax elements of PostgreSQL window functions, including the OVER clause, ORDER BY, PARTITION BY, and frame definitions
Recognize advanced data-reshaping and summarization techniques using CROSSTAB pivoting, ROLLUP, and CUBE to generate multi-level totals in PostgreSQL analyses.
