)

Syntax Elements

ALL

All non-null value_expressions, including duplicates, in the computation.

DISTINCT

Excludes duplicates specified by value_expression from the computation.

value_expression

A literal or column expression for which a set of aggregate functions are computed for the series.

The value_expression cannot be a reference to a view column derived from a function, and cannot contain any ordered analytical or aggregate functions.

percentile

A Teradata literal float value that represents the desired percentile.

LINEAR

Use linear interpolation to interpolate the result value when the desired result lies between two data points.

This parameter is not case-sensitive.

LOW

Use a low value interpolation scheme to interpolate the result value when the desired result lies between two data points.

This parameter is not case-sensitive.

HIGH

Use a high value interpolation scheme to interpolate the result value when the desired result lies between two data points.

This parameter is not case-sensitive.

NEAREST

Use a nearest value interpolation scheme to interpolate the result value when the desired result lies between two data points.

This parameter is not case-sensitive.

MIDPOINT

Use a midpoint interpolation scheme to interpolate the result value when the desired result lies between two data points.

This parameter is not case-sensitive.
