This page is a quick reference checkpoint for COUNT OVER in Redshift: behavior, syntax rules, edge cases, and a minimal example; plus the official vendor documentation.
COUNT OVER returns the number of rows in the window frame.
Default frame behavior is not described; no NULL-handling or other behavioral notes provided.
If this behavior feels unintuitive, the tutorial below explains the underlying pattern step-by-step.
COUNT(expr) OVER (window) is supported; window clauses such as PARTITION BY and ORDER BY are shown.
SELECT COUNT() OVER (PARTITION BY seller ORDER BY saletime) FROM sales;
If you came here to confirm syntax, you’re done. If you came here to get better at window functions, choose your next step.
COUNT OVER is part of a bigger window-function pattern. If you want the “why”, start here: Aggregate Window Functions
Reading docs is useful. Writing the query correctly under pressure is the skill.
For the authoritative spec, use the vendor docs. This page is the fast “sanity check”.
