DOUBLE

This function converts its arguments to DOUBLE, and performs the computation in double-precision floating-point arithmetic. If the function is applied to an empty set, then it returns NULL.

The function is applied to the set of (dependent-expression and independent-expression) pairs after eliminating all pairs for which either dependent-expression or independent-expression is NULL. The function is computed simultaneously during a single pass through the data. After eliminating NULL values, the following computation is then made, where y represents the dependent-expression and x represents the independent-expression:

REGR_COUNT( y, x ) * VAR_POP( y )

For more information about the statistical computation performed, see Mathematical formulas for the aggregate functions.

Syntax 2 represents usage as a window function in a SELECT statement. As such, elements of window-spec can be specified either in the function syntax (inline), or in conjunction with a WINDOW clause in the SELECT statement. See the window-spec definition for the WINDOW clause.

For more information about using window functions in SELECT statements, including working examples, see Window functions.

For more information about specifying a window specification in an OVER clause, see Window definition: Inlining using the OVER clause and WINDOW clause.
