Description

I believe the SELECT queries generated for testing by the Postgres implementation do not involve WINDOW clauses right now. I was wondering if they will be incorporated into the implementation, as well as other clauses that are currently not supported.

Research direction

Start by locating the Postgres implementation and the code that generates SELECT queries, then inspect which clauses are currently supported. Done would require a decided scope for WINDOW functions and any additional clauses, followed by implementation and tests covering the new generated queries.
