+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

    </para>
 
+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

    </para>
 
+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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.

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+</programlisting>

    </para>
 
+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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.

    </para>
 
+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

    </para>
 
+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+    reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An
+    example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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.

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+    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

+    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

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

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

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

+    of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+    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

+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+    when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

+    reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+    of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+    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>

+    reference, it must be the argument of <function>rpr</function>. An example
+    of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+    when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+<programlisting>
+DEFINE

+    when price column in the current row is greater than the price column in

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+   <para>
+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ WINDOW w AS (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+    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,

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+    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,

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+    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

+    "+" 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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,

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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,

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ ORDER BY tdate

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ ORDER BY tdate

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW
+ INITIAL
+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);
+</programlisting>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)

+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+    Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,

+

+    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>

+    not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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.

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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.

+    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

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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.

+    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

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+    Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+    used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies

+    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

+    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>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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

+    "+" 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.

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+    in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and

+    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>

+    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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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>

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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,

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (

+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate

+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

+   <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 &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; 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 (
+ PARTITION BY company
+ ORDER BY tdate
+ ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
+ AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW

+ PATTERN (LOWPRICE UP+ DOWN+)
+ DEFINE
+  LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+  UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+  DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+);

* [PATCH v20 2/3] Lock referenced objects before permission checks in DDL commands
@ 2026-04-27 14:19 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 434+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-04-27 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add LockNotPinnedObjectById() calls before object_aclcheck() at all caller
sites where a permission check on a referenced object occurs before the
dependency on that object is recorded. This converts permission check before
lock to lock before permission check. It closes the TOCTOU window that could
allow a REVOKE to succeed between the permission check and the dependency
recording.
