Hello.
First,we can not execute the SQL which Paulo indicated in PostgreSQL.
See this manual.
======================================================================
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-update.html
Compatibility
This command conforms to the SQL standard, except that the FROM
and RETURNING clauses are PostgreSQL extensions.
According to the standard, the column-list syntax should allow a list
of columns to be assigned from a single row-valued expression, such
as a sub-select:
UPDATE accounts SET (contact_last_name, contact_first_name) =
(SELECT last_name, first_name FROM salesmen
WHERE salesmen.id = accounts.sales_id);
This is not currently implemented — the source must be a list of
independent expressions.
Some other database systems offer a FROM option in which the target
table is supposed to be listed again within FROM. That is not how
PostgreSQL interprets FROM. Be careful when porting applications that
use this extension.
=========================================================================
So, I tried to following SQL, but I got error.
update test t1 set t1.j= (COALESCE(Lag(t2.j) over(order by
t2.j),null,0) ) + t2.j from test t2;
ERROR: cannot use window function in UPDATE at character 36
If I use temporary table ,I can.
But I feel this way is not simple.
=========================================================================
ex) PostgreSQL is 8.4.4
--drop table test;
create table test(i int , j int);
insert into test values(1,2);
insert into test values(1,3);
insert into test values(1,4);
begin;
create temporary table test_temp (i int , j int);
insert into test_temp
SELECT i,COALESCE(Lag(j) over(order by j),null,0) + j from test;
truncate table test;
insert into test select * from test_temp;
drop table test_temp;
commit;
=========================================================================
Anyone have a good idea?
