+ Window function <function>rpr</function> can be used with row pattern
+ common syntax to perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern
+ common syntax includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An
+ example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be

+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>

+ Window function <function>rpr</function> can be used with row pattern
+ common syntax to perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern
+ common syntax includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An
+ example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, rpr(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Window function <function>rpr</function> can be used with row pattern
+ common syntax to perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern
+ common syntax includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An
+ example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, rpr(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Window function <function>rpr</function> can be used with row pattern
+ common syntax to perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern
+ common syntax includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An
+ example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, rpr(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price, max(price) OVER w FROM stock

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used with row pattern common syntax to
+ perform row pattern recognition in a query. Row pattern common syntax
+ includes two sub clauses. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines definition
+ variables along with an expression. The expression must be a logical
+ expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. Moreover if the expression comprises a column
+ reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+ of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns price column in the previous
+ row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in the
+ second line means the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in
+ the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". If a
+ sequence of rows found, rpr returns the column at the starting row.
+ Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w

+ WINDOW w AS (

Perhaps this should be a GUC that defaults to LOG or ERROR.

I can't speak for Nathan, but my reason would be that I'm not in the
habit to attach a debugger to my program to keep track of state
progression, but instead use elog() during patch development. I'm not
super stoked for getting my developmental elog(LOG)-s spammed with
stack traces, so I'd want to set this at least to ERROR, while in
production LOG could be fine.
Similarly, there are probably extensions that do not use ereport()
directly, but instead use elog(), because of reasons like 'not
planning on doing translations' and 'elog() is the easier API'.
Forcing a change over to ereport because of stack trace spam in logs
caused by elog would be quite annoying.
Kind regards,

That does seem like a fair complaint. But I also think it would be
really good if we had something that could be enabled unconditionally
instead of via a GUC... because if it's gated by aa GUC then it often
won't be there when you need it.

Sorry, I should've explained why in my message.

My main concern was forcing extra logging that users won't have a great way
to turn off (except for maybe raising log_min_messages or something).
Also, it'd give us a way to slowly ramp up backtraces over a few years
without suddenly spamming everyones logs in v17. For example, maybe this
GUC defaults to PANIC or FATAL in v17. Once we've had a chance to address
any common backtraces there, we could bump it to ERROR or WARNING in v18.
And so on. If we just flood everyone's logs immediately, I worry that
folks will just turn it off, and we won't get the reports we are hoping
for.
I know we already have so many GUCs and would like to avoid adding new ones
when possible. Maybe this is one that could eventually be retired as we
gain confidence that it won't obliterate the log files.

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w

+ WINDOW w AS (

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
+FROM stock,
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+);

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. Row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
+FROM stock,
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate

+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+);

+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. So in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. In the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions and aggregates are NULL. For rows
+ that do not match the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are
+ shown AS NULL too, except count which shows 0. This is because the
+ unmatched rows are in an empty frame. Example of
+ a <literal>SELECT</literal> using the <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w

+ WINDOW w AS (

+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
+FROM stock
+ WINDOW w AS (

+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the

+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the

+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be

+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or

+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look

+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not

+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look

+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not

+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
+FROM stock
+ WINDOW w AS (

+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)

+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.

+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w

+ WINDOW w AS (

+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,

+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.

+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be

+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or

+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
+FROM stock
+ WINDOW w AS (

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
+FROM stock
+ WINDOW w AS (

+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,

+ <para>
+ Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+ in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+ clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+ and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+ definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+ logical expression, which means it must
+ return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+ or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+ and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+ not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price <= 100,
+ UP AS price > PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price < PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+ Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+ previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+ the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+ when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+ in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+ the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+ previous row.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+ used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+ certain conditions. For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+ defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+ rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+ "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+ more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+ in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+ aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+ into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+ subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+ (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+ match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+ NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+ thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+ using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+ is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
+ first_value(price) OVER w,
+ max(price) OVER w,
+ count(price) OVER w
