Re: Window functions missing from MySQL

user01706

Hi,

My data source is a flat file from FTP and i am using the SQL data flow in Domo for data transformations. I have a need to use rank function and am wondering if i can use rank() over window partition by method. I can use the MySQL method mentioned at below link, but the window method is throwing errors.

Does the redshift method work only when your data soruce is redshift databse? Thanks much in advance!

Hello,

 

Thank you for the request. MySQL recently started supporting windowing functions in their current version. Domo is not currently using that version. Redshift does support the windowing functions and you are able to load in your flat file into a Redshift DataFlow and use those functions. 

 

You can also use Magic ETL, see this article to give you the information on the different options:
