Example: Calculate Moving Average

This query generates the moving average of sales in three consecutive months. The size of the window frame is three rows: two preceding rows plus the current row. The window slides from the beginning to the end of the partition.

SELECT prod_id, month_num, sales, AVG(sales) OVER
  (PARTITION BY prod_id ORDER BY month_num ROWS
  BETWEEN 2 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) 
FROM sale WHERE rep_id = 1 
ORDER BY prod_id, month_num;
prod_id   month_num      sales       avg(sales)
