窗口函数通过单次扫描完成分析计算，能大幅简化子查询结构并提升性能，尤其在排名、累计计算等场景‌15。以下是核心优化技巧：

一、排名场景替代方案

1. ‌部门工资排名‌
   传统子查询需自连接和聚合计数：

   sql

   SELECT e1.name, e1.salary, (SELECT COUNT(*)+1 FROM employees e2 WHERE e2.dept=e1.dept AND e2.salary>e1.salary) AS rank FROM employees e1;

   窗口函数单次扫描完成：

   sql

   SELECT name, salary, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY dept ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rank FROM employees;

2. ‌分组TOP N查询‌
   使用ROW_NUMBER()直接过滤组内前N条：

   sql

   WITH ranked AS ( SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY dept ORDER BY sales DESC) AS rn FROM sales ) SELECT * FROM ranked WHERE rn <= 3;

   避免关联子查询的多次索引扫描‌。

二、累计计算优化

• 子查询瓶颈‌：逐行执行导致O(n²)复杂度

  sql

  SELECT t1.date, (SELECT SUM(t2.amount) FROM sales t2 WHERE t2.date<=t1.date) AS cumulative FROM sales t1;

• 窗口方案‌：线性时间复杂度

  sql

  SELECT date, SUM(amount) OVER (ORDER BY date) AS cumulative FROM sales;

  百万级数据性能提升显著‌。

三、跨行引用优化

使用LAG()避免自连接，例如环比增长率计算：

sql

SELECT month, revenue, (revenue - LAG(revenue,1) OVER (ORDER BY month)) / LAG(revenue,1) OVER (ORDER BY month) AS growth FROM financials;

比关联子查询减少50%以上I/O消耗‌。

四、关键优化原则

1. ‌索引匹配‌
   PARTITION BY和ORDER BY字段需建复合索引，否则全表扫描‌.
2. ‌框架选择‌
   大分区数据用RANGE替代ROWS防内存溢出：

   sql

   SUM(amount) OVER (ORDER BY date RANGE UNBOUNDED PRECEDING)

3. ‌避免反模式‌
   窗口函数中嵌套子查询会抵消性能优势.
