Django ORM window functions for analytics

Window functions perform calculations across rows related to the current row. I use them for running totals, rankings, and moving averages. Django's Window expression with functions like RowNumber, Rank, DenseRank provide SQL window function support. This is more efficient than Python-side calculations. I partition data with partition_by and order with order_by. Window functions are perfect for leaderboards, time-series analysis, and comparative metrics. They require PostgreSQL or other databases supporting window functions.
