Use of Ordered Analytic Functions for Group, Sum, Cumulative and Remaining Window Aggregations. Use of RANDOM and SAMPLE functions for generating data or extracting samples of existing data. How and why to create and use volatile and global temporary tables. Implementing column compression for performance and reduced storage costs using single or multi-value compression. How to create new tables from existing tables and how to copy data and table attributes from the source table. ANSI standard features such as EXISTS statement, correlated subqueries, derived tables, null handling, and date/time extraction.
