Hi Vik and Champion,

I think the current RPR patch is not quite correct in handling
count(*).

(using slightly modified version of Vik's example query)

SELECT v.a, count(*) OVER w
FROM (VALUES ('A'),('B'),('B'),('C')) AS v (a)
WINDOW w AS (
ORDER BY v.a
ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
PATTERN (B+)
DEFINE B AS a = 'B'
)
a | count
---+-------
A | 0
B | 2
B |
C | 0
(4 rows)

Here row 3 is skipped because the pattern B matches row 2 and 3. In
this case I think cont(*) should return 0 rathern than NULL for row 3.

What do you think?

Best reagards,
