Is this true?
I guess that the 7.11 rule 5.b in the spec says as far as the bound is
not specified in the window frame clause, all rows of the partition
are contained in the frame. The rule then removes rows from the
initial frame as the frame bound indicates.
So as the result,
RANGE UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
both mean
(RANGE / ROWS) BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING
if I don't miss something.
