An update on Analytic Functions for T-SQL

Hi, following on from my previous two posts about Analytic Functions, and specifically about the lack of a T-SQL equivalent to the LAG and LEAD functions I demonstrated, there is a SQL Server feedback vote currently active which you can participate in if you are interested in seeing these functions incorporated into a future update.

The vote can be found here

What must be remembered is the approach that Oracle and Microsoft are taking for delivering analytical capabilties. Oracle have been trying to remove a multi-dimensional technology from their product line up for the last 6 years or so, replacing this with an enhanced relational engine. Where as Microsoft have finally a multi-dimensional technology as good as Oracle Express. So perhaps in the Microsoft world the likes of LAG and LEAD should remain as MDX functions and not T-SQL extensions.
