CUME_DIST

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The CUME_DIST() hypothetical set function calculates the cumulative distribution of the hypothetical value, i.e. the relative rank from 1/N to 1 (PERCENT_RANK produces values from 0 to 1)

SELECT
  cume_dist(0) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
  cume_dist(2) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID),
  cume_dist(4) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ID)
FROM BOOK
create.select(
         cumeDist(val(0)).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID),
         cumeDist(val(2)).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID),
         cumeDist(val(4)).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.ID))
      .from(BOOK)

Producing:

+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| cume_dist(0) | cume_dist(2) | cume_dist(4) |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|          0.2 |          0.6 |          1.0 |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+
