The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-select.html
Description:
Hi there
To start off I'd like to say your documentation is great and very helpful.
Thanks for that!
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-select.html in the section "WINDOW
clause" talks about "simple expression." I couldn't find any explaining of
what actually constitutes a simple expression, not by searching for the term
or checking the index.
Cheers,
Damian

Yeah, "simple" there isn't a definitional word, it is there to make the
paragraph, which does qualify what the expression can be, read better.
You should be able to use, unless otherwise noted there or elsewhere, any
of the expression building components listed in the SQL Syntax chapter.
That chapter, for Window Functions, does further note that nesting window
functions isn't possible.
