Description

The query:

select s, i, avg(d) / 10.0 over (partition by s order by i) from over100k;

runs (and produces meaningless output).

Over should not allow the arithmetic expression. Only a UDAF or PTF function should be valid there. The correct way to write this query should be

select s, i, avg(d) over (partition by s order by i) / 10. 0 from over100k;
