add highes as a column using Window Functions


I have a table like below:

Pic1

Query to replicate data:

 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS units_table;
CREATE TEMP TABLE units_table
(
 Brand varchar(100),
 units numeric(38,12)
);


  INSERT INTO units_table (Brand, units)
   VALUES ('A',200),('B',0),('C',300),('D',400),('E',1500),('F',700),('G',800),('H',450);

Using window functions specifically, I want to get the highest against the table. Like below:

P2

However when I use:

select

brand,
units,
FIRST_VALUE(units) OVER () as Highest

from units_table

Its gives the first value as 0. if I do,

select

brand,
units,
FIRST_VALUE(units) OVER (ORDER BY UNITS) as Highest

from units_table

Throws an error. How should I use Window Function specifically to solve this problem? Thank you in advance!


Solution

  • You need MAX() window function:

    SELECT brand,
           units,
           MAX(units) OVER () AS Highest
    FROM units_table;
    

    See the demo.
