Window Functions

Window Functions appear to be generally underutilised in the real world. Compared to CTE's and basic Select queries, one seldom sees Window Functions in SQL blogs, stackoverflow pages, forums, etc. (unless the article is dedicated to Window Functions). My opinion is that this is due to the syntax and different way of thinking about Window Functions compared to normal SQL syntax and use. This talk aims to change the way we think about Window Functions so that listeners can understand where to utilise them and hopefully how to speed up their own queries by opting to use Window Functions instead of Inner Joins or unecessary CTE's.
