Description:
Hi! I would like to propose improvements on the "3.5. Window Functions"
tutorial.
Wording may be improved ("scoped"), I think the added paragraph links the
existing ones providing more meaning.
I’m in agreement with this page being in need of improvement. I’m not all that comfortable with this particular proposal. It adds some of its own concerns and doesn’t remove some existing ones.
As an aside - recent comments about the undesirability were made - and while I’m accepting of their usage generally this one seems like a good candidate for removal if we do update this page.
My biggest qualm is the wording that makes it sound like a window frame is an option in lieu of looking at the partition when there is always some default frame in place.
