Partitioning by year and country in ROW_NUMBER will achieve this. Each combination of the unique values of Year and Country will be a partition. 2008 - China is one partition; 2008 - Japan is another, 2012 - China is yet another, and so on. As you can see in the result, the row number resets ...

Good places to learn SQL from? Datacamp not great
You've described taking two of the available 32 courses. 12/22 is an exceptionally good outcome for 8 hours of training. The name intermediate might be misleading given that it is very much a fundamental course but you're still v much a beginner. I am also a beginner, even at taking Data Manipulation in SQL and two courses on PostgreSQL. Consider sticking to the end of a learning path (I.e., SQL Fundamentals, Data Analyst in SQL) in DataCamp before making a switch. Also, use the other one concurrently so you're confident it will better meet your needs.

I need help using partition by

By adding the next (lead) account_status, you can then check if the status was OPEN then CLOSED.

select count(distinct account_id) cnt from (
  select * 
  ,lead(account_status, 1) OVER(ORDER BY date ASC) AS next_status
  from #temp 
) a
where
account_status = 'OPEN'
and next_status = 'CLOSED'

You can switch it around to find CLOSED then OPEN.

select count(distinct account_id) cnt from (
  select *
  ,lead(account_status, 1) OVER(ORDER BY date ASC) AS next_status
  from #temp
) a 
where

Table partitioning | SQL
In this example, we'll look at PostgreSQL, where you can use something called declarative partitioning since PostgreSQL 10. First, you add the PARTITION BY clause to your table creation statement. You pass it the column you want to partition by, 'timestamp' in our case.

OVER with a PARTITION | SQL
Let's expand on the previous question, and instead ask, "How many goals were scored in each match, and how did that compare to the season's average?" We can do this by adding a PARTITION BY clause to the OVER clause from the previous slide. Specifying, "PARTITION BY season" returns each season's average on each row, in accordance to the season that each record belongs to.

Creating vertical partitions | SQL
For vertical partitioning, there is no specific syntax in PostgreSQL. You have to create a new table with particular columns and copy the data there. Afterward, you can drop the columns you want in the separate partition. If you need to access the full table, you can do so by using a JOIN clause.
