RE: Analytical Functions

Sorry for the late response as it was a holiday here in Brisbane yesterday. You have all confirmed what I thought but all my development databases have OLAP installed and I don't presently have the space to install another 9i environment. So I couldn't Identify that information

I will advise if the PL/SQL now understands them, I suspect it will as a lot of other things work.

Update soon

And thanks guys

Cheers

Nope, Use them every day.  Their standard issue, but require Enterprise 
edition in 8i.

Hi Can anyone tell me if the Analytical functions  as shown in the 
extracted piece of SQL using the OVER clause are part of standard 9i SQL 
or is it part of the OLAP engine.  What i want to know is do I need OLAP 
installed to use these functions
 
SELECT last_name, hire_date, salary,
   LAG(salary, 1, 0) OVER (ORDER BY hire_date) AS prev_sal
   FROM employees
   WHERE job_id = 'PU_CLERK';



Cheers
