A subquery could work but since you want to implement a UDTAGG anyway, you can also move the implementation there and keep the SQL query simple. But this is up to you. Consecutive windows are supported.

Hi Timo,

Thank you for the quick response.

Neither COLLECT nor LISTAGG work because they only accept one column.

I am trying to collect all the rows and columns into one object. Like a 
List<Row> for example.
Later, I need make calculations upon all the rows that were just collected 
within a window.

Maybe I need to use a subquery, ie,  SELECT FROM (SELECT FROM)?

Hi Marco,

nesting aggregated functions is not allowed in SQL. The exception could be 
improved though. I guess the planner searches for a scalar function called 
`MyUDTAGG` in your example and cannot find one.

Maybe the built-in function `COLLECT` or `LISTAGG`is what you are looking for?

  I am trying to use User defined Table Aggregate function directly in the SQL 
so that I could combine all the rows collected in a window into one object.
GIVEN a User defined Table Aggregate function
public class MyUDTAGG extends 
TableAggregateFunction<PurchaseWindow,PurchaseWindow> {
        public PurchaseWindow createAccumulator() {
                return new PurchaseWindow();
        }
        public void accumulate(PurchaseWindow acc, String name, double cost) {
                acc.add(name, cost);
        }
        public void emitValue(PurchaseWindow acc, Collector<PurchaseWindow> 
out) {
                out.collect(acc);
        }
}
THAT it is registered as
StreamTableEnvironment tEnv = ...
tEnv.registerFunction("MyUDTAGG", new MyUDTAGG());
THEN is it possible to call it in an SQL query in this manner?
SELECT MyUDTAGG(name, SUM(cost)) AS purchase_window
FROM purchases
GROUP BY TUMBLE(proactive, INTERVAL '1' DAY), name
I am receiving an SQL validation error, "No match found for function signature 
...".
What am I doing wrong, or is there a better way to do this?
