That works well.
I just wonder whether we can tell Tom or Tim has worked in more than 1
department. Apparently, PostgreSQL does not allow count(distinct
department) when window function is used.
Given this data set, can we do something like count(distinct) to provide an
answer to how many different department someone has worked in?
Regards,
David
