VAR_POP ( [ DISTINCT | ALL ] value_expression )

Syntax Elements

DISTINCT
To exclude duplicates of value_expression from the computation.
ALL
All values of value_expression that are not null, including duplicates, are included in the computation.
value_expression
A numeric literal or column expression whose population variance is to be computed.
The value_expression cannot be a reference to a view column derived from a function, and cannot contain any ordered analytical or aggregate functions.
The following restrictions apply to value_expression:
  • If the value_expression is character, the format is the default format for FLOAT.
  • If the value_expression is numeric, date, or interval, the format is the same format as x.
  • If the value_expression is UDT, the format is the format for the data type to which the UDT is implicitly cast.
For information on the default format of data types, see “Data Type Formats and Format Phrases” in Teradata Vantage™ - Data Types and Literals, B035-1143.
