About this book
MariaDB and MySQL Common Table Expressions and Window Functions Revealed introduces and explains CTEs and window functions, newly available in MariaDB 10.2 and MySQL 8.0, and helps you understand why and how every MariaDB and MySQL database programmer should learn and apply these features in their daily work. CTEs and especially window functions enable easy solutions to many query challenges that in prior releases have been difficult and sometimes impossible to surmount. Mastering these features opens the door to query solutions that are more robust, execute faster, and are easier to maintain over time than prior solutions using older techniques. The book:
- Takes you step-by-step through the workings of common table expressions and window functions
- Provides easy-to-follow examples of the new syntax
- Helps you answer business questions faster and easier than ever
- Answer business questions using simple queries that don’t break in the face of unexpected data
- Avoid writing queries that are a difficult-to-maintain quagmire of self-joins and nested subqueries
- Recognize situations that call for window functions, and learn when to use these features
- Reduce the need for performance-robbing self-joins
- Simplify and speed the execution of analytical queries
- Create queries that finish in seconds instead of hours
Who This Book Is For
