package org.jooq;


A window definition.

Window definitions can be

declared in the WINDOW clause (see SelectWindowStep.window(WindowDefinition...)
referenced from the OVER clause (see WindowOverStep.over(WindowDefinition)


The WINDOW clause is only natively supported by

SQLDialect.AURORA_POSTGRES
SQLDialect.H2
SQLDialect.MYSQL
SQLDialect.POSTGRES
SQLDialect.SQLITE
SQLDialect.SYBASE


If your database supports window functions, but not the WINDOW
clause, jOOQ will inline window definitions into their respective window
functions.
 Instances can be created using Name.as(WindowSpecification) and overloads.
