Window functions missing from MySQL

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to use SQL windowing functions with DOMO data flows, but they are not recognized. After checking for the version of MySQL, I saw that DOMO is still using an old version of MySQL: 5.6.28-76.1-56.

 

Window functions make time based analytics much easier and would be great to have for serious analytics. Now I need to either move the whole analytics pipeline to BigQuery or write complex joins. Are there plans to update MySQL to version 8.0.X ?

 

Thanks,

Henrik Petander

    I agree that it would be nice to have this ability in MySQL data flows.  However, you can use window functions in redshift:1.png

    Domo hass implemented the window and rank functions in Magic ETL.  This is another option if you prefer not to use redshift.

    Thank you, the option to choose the database is something I had overlooked.

    Thank you, it's good to learn the alternative ways to solve the problem in DOMO.
