Aggregates with the Over Clause
You have likely heard the business term “Market Share”. If your company is the biggest and has sold 15 million units in an industry that has sold a total of 50 million units then your company’s market share is 30% (15/50 = .30). Market share represents your number divide by the sum of all other numbers. In JProCo the biggest grant (Ben@Moretechnology.com) is $41,000 and the total of all grants is $193,700. Therefore the Ben grant is 21.6% of the whole set of grants for the company.
The two simple queries in the figure below show all the Grant table records and the sum of the grant amounts.
If we want to show the total amount next to every record of the table – or just one record of the table – SQL Server gives us the same error. It does not find the supporting aggregated language needed to support the SUM( ) aggregate function.
Adding the OVER( ) clause allows us to see the total amount next to each grant. We see 193,700 next to each record in the result set.
The sum of all 10 grants is $193,700. Recall the largest single grant (007) is $41,000. Doing the quick math in our head, we recognize $41,000 is around 1/5 of ~$200,000 and guesstimate that Grant 007 is just over 20% of the total.
Thanks to the OVER clause, there’s no need to guess. We can get the precise percentage. To accomplish this, we will add an expression that does the same math we did in our head. We want the new column to divide each grant amount by $193,700 (the total of all the grants).
By listing the total amount of all grants next to each individual grant, we automatically get a nice reference for how each individual grant compares to the total of all JProCo grants. The new column is added and confirms our prediction that Grant 007 represents just over 21% of all grants.
Notice that the figures in our new column appear as ratios. Percentages are 100 times the size of a ratio. Example: the ratio 0.2116 represents a percentage of 21.16%. Multiplying a ratio by 100 will show the percentage. To finish, give the column a descriptive title, PercentOfTotal.
In today post we examined the basic over clause with an empty set of Parenthesis. The over clause actually have many variations which we will see in tomorrow’s post.
Note: If you want to setup the sample JProCo database on your system you can watch this video. For this post you will want to run the SQLQueriesChapter5.0Setup.sql script from Volume 2.

The correct answer is No. 3
SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
Because all fields of the Employee table are shown, and an additional field called StartDate shows the first HireDate for all Employees.
OVER() gives the supporting aggregated language needed to support the MIN( ) aggregate function.

You want to show all fields of the Employee table. You want an additional field called StartDate that shows the first HireDate for all Employees. Which query should you use?
3) SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
Minimum of Hiredate will be first hire date. And since there is no group by clause, 1) is invalid. 3) with over() clause will put the earliest hire date in each row.

Dan Q
United States
Correct option is 3.
SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
New Delhi
Explanation:
To show all fields of the table we will use the following query:
SELECT * FROM Employee
Since we want to display 1 more field called StartDate which will have the value of the first HireDate for all Employees we need to add Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate in the query
Correct Query is :
SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
Country of Residence:
United States
Answer is 3.
Query 1 can’t be used because there is no GROUPBY clause and to use Aggregate methods Group by need to be used.
Other queries 2 or 4 used MAX and we need Min value, so its incorrect.
Thanks for the wonderful question.

Sudhir

The correct answer is option 3
SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
as we want to show first hiredate, which can be calculated using MIN() function
and Over() clause will print it for all the records

I would like to mention to all readers that the OVER clause is magical, and once you start using it, you get addicted to it :)
Option 3 is valid in this case.
Correct Answer is Option 3:
OVER gives us ability to get minimum HireDate along with other columns.
Option 1 and 2, are not going to work, as we need all aggregate values
Option 4 is giving us LATEST HireDate

2. SELECT *, Max(HireDate) as StartDate FROM Employee
- This query give an error as (invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause..)
3. SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
- This query executes successfully.
4. SELECT *, Max(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
- This query executes successfully, but it results as the maximum(latest) date of the employee joined.

SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
As SQl Server does not find the supporting aggregated language needed to support the aggregate function we have to use OVER() to make things understandable to it .

Hi Sir,
The correct answer is option no 3.
SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
This option lists out all the employee related information for all the employees and The new column “StartDate” will have the first hire date from the table against each of the employee rows.
1 and 2 option will fail to execute with a error saying
“the first column of the from clause table is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or group by clause.”
4th option will give out the latest hire date from the table against each of the employee rows.
So the correct answer is 3 option.

SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
Because,
Option 1 give a error because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Option 2 also give a error as option 1 and moreover it is MAX() function, it will not retrieve joining date.
Option 4 give a MAX date from HireDate column so it will not retrieve joining date.

Answer: Option 3 is correct
Because we want all the records which are fetched by Select * and Start Date which is fetched by min(Hire Date) but with over()
Country: India
Hello all together!
Option 1 and 2 does not work because of the lack of the over() clause. You will get an error (due to missing group by statement).
Option 4 does work but will return the last hireDate. But that does not match the question since it should be the first hireDate.
Option 3. gives the desired result(s).

Correct Answer is 3.
Query 1 gives error as no GROUPBY clause is there. To use Aggregate methods Group by need to be used.

Hi Pinal Sir,
The correct answer for above question is Option No. 3
SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
Explanation:
OPTION 3) SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
In above query all the fields (columns) from the Employee table are selected, and a added field called StartDate shows the first HireDate for all Employees it is simple as we all know but then from your article you explained OVER() gives the supporting aggregated language needed to support the MIN( ) aggregate function and hence our problem is solved by this option.
WHY Other options are wrong.
OPTION 1) This option SELECT *, Min(HireDate) as StartDate FROM Employee error occurs as Aggregate function is used without “group by”.
OPTION 2) This SELECT *, Max(HireDate) as StartDate FROM Employee query generates error as Aggregate function is used without “group by”.
OPTION 4)SELECT *, Max(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee here it is giving max but we want minimum so wrong option.
DILIP KUMAR JENA
Country : INDIA
The correct option is #3
SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
Option 1 and 2 would generate errors. Aggregate functions used in this context would need a GROUP BY statement.
Option 4 grabs the Max(HireDate) which would be the last, not the first, hire date of all of the employees.
correct answer : 3
3) SELECT *, Min(HireDate) OVER() as StartDate FROM Employee
Minimum of Hiredate will be first hire date. And since there is no group by clause, 1) is invalid. 3) with over() clause will put the earliest hire date in each row.

Q 10) SQL SERVER – Tips from the SQL Joes 2 Pros Development Series – Aggregates with the Over Clause – Day 10 of 35
A.) Because there is no supporting language for the aggregated field both (1) and (2) will not be correct. Because Max (HireDate) will return the greatest or most recent HireDate (4) is also incorrect. The correct code is (3) which uses the Min aggregate function and the OVER ( ) clause as supporting language.
