Hmm, apparently the abstract got cut off when creating the meeting. Here's the whole thing:

The SQL 2003 standard introduced the OVER keyword that lets you apply a function to a set of records. Introduced in SQL Server 2005, this capability was extended in SQL Server 2012. The functions allow you to rank records, aggregate them in a variety of ways, put data from multiple records into a single result record, and compute and use percentiles. The set of problems they solve range from removing exact duplicates to computing running totals and moving averages to comparing data from different periods to removing outliers.

In this session, we'll look at the OVER operator and the many functions you can use with it. We'll look at a variety of problems that can be solved using OVER.

You will learn:

How to find the top N records in a group
How to compute running totals and moving averages
How to compare data from multiple records side-by-side
How to divide records into n-tiles, including percentiles
How to search for records in a particular percentile
