Re: Moving avg using SQL

In response to ????????? :

Which version do you have? Since 8.4 we have CTE aka windowing
functions, a simple axample:

test=*# select n, last_value(n) over mywin , avg(n) over mywin
from generate_series(1,20) n
window mywin as (partition by (n-1)/4 rows between unbounded preceding
and unbounded following);

n | last_value | avg
----+------------+---------------------
1 | 4 | 2.5000000000000000
2 | 4 | 2.5000000000000000
