Analytic and Recursive SQL by Example

In my article A Note on Running Sums and Products in SQL, I used three different SQL techniques to get running products: Analytic Functions, Model Clause and Recursive Subquery Factors. I explained this in a recording on Twitter. I then wondered whether I could explain each of these SQL techniques in general using a single Twitter recording (which has a time limit of 140 seconds) each, and you can see the results in this Twitter thread.

In this article I set out the example queries that I used along with the results. You can get the complete scripts and recordings on GitHub, Oracle SQL Projects.
