Thread: How to find current row number relative to window frame

Hello,

I have a user defined aggregate function and in Sfunc I need to
reference current row number relative to window frame. Ideallly I would like to have following construct:

select my_aggregate(x,current_row_number_relative_to window) over
(order by y rows between n preceding and current row) as..... from ….


Any ideas how I can do this.  Thanks Art.

Couldn't you make the aggregate track the current row number as part of
its state?

While it's a bit annoying to have to do that, I don't see any other
solution that doesn't involve converting the aggregate into a
full-fledged window function, which you probably don't want to do.
(Even then, nodeWindowAgg.c doesn't seem to expose a function for
row number within frame, only row number within partition.)
