Teradata and MySQL behave different in OVER() and Partition By () Clauses

I want to understand why the same query is producing different result in Teradata and My SQL.
I am trying to write a query for running total and each DB is giving me different solutions.



Below is the code:



CREATE TABLE runn_tot (p_id int, p_name varchar(10), price decimal(5,2));

insert into runn_tot values (1,'p1',34);
insert into runn_tot values (2,'p1',56);
insert into runn_tot values (3,'p1',65);
insert into runn_tot values (4,'p1',12);
insert into runn_tot values (5,'p1',34);
insert into runn_tot values (6,'p1',78);
insert into runn_tot values (7,'p1',23);
insert into runn_tot values (8,'p1',55);
insert into runn_tot values (9,'p1',34);
insert into runn_tot values (10,'p1',66);


The query which i'm using in Both MySQL and Teradata



select p_id, p_name, SUM(price) OVER ( partition by p_name order by p_id)  Running_Total
from runn_tot;


Results from MySQL:



+------+--------+---------------+
| p_id | p_name | Running_Total |
+------+--------+---------------+
| 1 | p1 | 34.00 |
| 2 | p1 | 90.00 |
| 3 | p1 | 155.00 |
| 4 | p1 | 167.00 |
| 5 | p1 | 201.00 |
| 6 | p1 | 279.00 |
| 7 | p1 | 302.00 |
| 8 | p1 | 357.00 |
| 9 | p1 | 391.00 |
| 10 | p1 | 457.00 |
+------+--------+---------------+


Results from Teradata:



1   p1  457.00
2 p1 457.00
3 p1 457.00
4 p1 457.00
5 p1 457.00
6 p1 457.00
7 p1 457.00
8 p1 457.00
9 p1 457.00
10 p1 457.00


I am trying to understand why MySQL is able to get the correct running total and teradata is not doing the window function correctly.

          Teradata implemented some Window Functions almost 20 years ago before they became part of Standard SQL 99 (using a proprietary syntax) and this behaviour is a kind of leftover.



          In Standard SQL (and MySQL) when you specify ORDER BY the window defaults to RANGE UNBOUNDED PECEDING, which is not supported by Teradata, which defaults to RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING. To get the expected result you must add ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, which is recommended over RANGE in other DBMSes, too (unless you actually need the result of a RANGE), because ROWS is way easier to calculate.
