MySQL Error 3587: Invalid Window Range Frame
Description
This error indicates an incorrect `ORDER BY` clause within a window function definition that uses a `RANGE N PRECEDING/FOLLOWING` frame. MySQL requires exactly one `ORDER BY` expression of a numeric or temporal data type when a `RANGE` frame is specified.
Error Message
Window '%s' with RANGE N PRECEDING/FOLLOWING frame requires exactly one ORDER BY expression, of numeric or temporal type
Known Causes
3 known causesMultiple ORDER BY Expressions
The window function's `ORDER BY` clause contains more than one expression when a `RANGE` frame is used, which is not permitted by MySQL.
Non-Numeric/Temporal ORDER BY Type
The single `ORDER BY` expression specified in the window definition is of a data type other than numeric (e.g., INT, DECIMAL) or temporal (e.g., DATE, DATETIME).
Missing ORDER BY Expression
A `RANGE N PRECEDING/FOLLOWING` frame is used without any `ORDER BY` expression in the window definition, which is a mandatory requirement.
