Understanding the Running Minimum Quantity in SQL: A Comparative Analysis of Approaches
Understanding the Problem Statement The problem statement involves creating a running minimum of quantity based on dynamic criteria. In this case, we have a table named simple containing timestamp (time), process ID (pid), and quantity (qty) columns. We also have an event column (event) that indicates whether the process is running or stopped. The objective is to calculate the minimum quantity across all live (non-stopped) start events up until each row, which can be used as a reference point for further analysis or calculation.
