Is there a PostgreSQL equivalent to Oracle's analytics?

Question

On another thread I saw a answer to a sql problem using Oracle's analytics. Is there a equivalent in PostgreSQL or generic SQL?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Alas.. and it sounds like they won't be in Postgres 8.4, either. They are under development, though.

Some useful functions can be found in this contrib: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/tablefunc.html (connect_by, crosstab)

OTHER TIPS

I'm not familiar with Oracle Analytics, but I've worked with Jasper Reports a little and I like it.

  • Jasper Reports is a library that you can code against to run reports.
  • Jasper Server lets you host your reports in a web app. It has security and scheduling.
  • iReport is a GUI designer for Jasper and it can upload reports directly to Jasper Server.
  • Jasper Analysis is for Analytics.

Most of the stuff is free, but there are commercial versions too.
