OVER Clause defines the partitioning and ordering of a rows (i.e a window) for the
above functions to operate on. Hence these functions are called window functions. The
Angular CLI Tutorial
OVER clause accepts the following three arguments to define a window for these
functions to operate on. Angular 2 Tutorial
ORDER BY : Defines the logical order of the rows
Design Patterns
PARTITION BY : Divides the query result set into partitions. The window
function is applied to each partition separately. SOLID Principles
ROWSor RANGE clause : Further limits the rows within the partition by
specifying start and end points within the partition. [Link] Web API

The default for ROWS or RANGE clause is Bootstrap

We might think the following query would do the job. Dot Net Basics

As you can see from the result below, the above query does not produce the overall [Link]
salary average. It produces the average of the current row and the rows preceeding the

current row. This is because, the default value of ROWS or RANGE clause (RANGE

when i use sum(),avg(),count() with over clause and give (order by salary) it gives error
"Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'order".
Please guide about this sir..

The key difference between ROWS and RANGE subclauses in SQL Server's window functions lies in how they determine the set of rows to include in a window frame. ROWS defines the window frame by specifying a concrete number of rows preceding and/or following the current row, which is helpful when calculations need to consider a fixed number of surrounding rows. In contrast, RANGE operates based on a logical range of values within the partition. For example, using RANGE might include all rows with an ORDER BY value equal to the current row. This distinction is crucial when performing calculations dependent on the order of data, like aggregations over a sorted set .
