Hi Henson,

> Hi all,

> A quick heads-up for this thread, cross-referenced from another one.

> Haibo Yan has a patch series adding DISTINCT support to plain aggregate
> window functions [1]. As it touches window-aggregate frame handling, I
> applied it on top of the current RPR patch set and built the two together.
> They combine cleanly today: no rebase conflict, and the regression tests
> pass with no change to code or tests.
> 
> This is structural, not luck. RPR requires the frame to start at CURRENT
> ROW, while that feature requires UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, so a single window can
> satisfy at most one of them -- no overlap.
> 
> That said, the DISTINCT roadmap plans to relax its UNBOUNDED-PRECEDING
> restriction (the sliding-frame patches), while RPR's CURRENT-ROW requirement
> is fixed by the standard. So as those frame restrictions are lifted the two
> could start to overlap, and at that point we'd likely need to review the
> related frame-handling changes together. Nothing to act on now -- just
> flagging it so we keep an eye on it.

> Full review of the DISTINCT series is in the other thread [1].
