What is the correct syntax to get the over clause to work in mysql?
I would like to see the total sms's sent by each user without grouping it with the group by clause.
SELECT
username,
count(sentSmsId) OVER (userId)
FROM
sentSmsTable,
userTable
WHERE
userId = sentUserId;
There is no OVER clause in MySQL that I know of, but here is a link that might assist you to accomplish the same results:

Hope this helps.
MySQL 8 has got the window functions! Therefore, you can write your query in it like this:
SELECT username,
count(sentSmsId) OVER (partition by userId)
FROM sentSmsTable
JOIN userTable ON userId = sentUserId;
MySQL does not currently support window functions, so over()
will only yield syntax errors (or garbage, if it's accepted regardless).
MySQL Doesn't have window functions until the most recent release: MySQL 8 (release in April, 2018). MS SQL Server also accepts OVER clause.
The syntax is:
function(col1) OVER (PARTITION BY col2 ORDER BY col3)
