Aggregate Functions in SQL

Aggregate functions in SQL group multiple row values to produce a single meaningful value. Key functions include Count(), Sum(), Avg(), Min(), and Max(), each with specific calculations based on the data. Examples demonstrate how these functions operate on a salary dataset, providing insights like total records, sums, averages, and extreme values.

Aggregate functions in SQL

In database management an aggregate function is a function where the values of multiple rows
are grouped together as input on certain criteria to form a single value of more significant
meaning.
Various Aggregate Functions
1) Count()
2) Sum()
3) Avg()
4) Min()
5) Max()
Now let us understand each Aggregate function with a example:
Id Name Salary
-----------------------
1 A 80
2 B 40
3 C 60
4 D 70
5 E 60
6 F Null
1. Count():

Count(*): Returns total number of records .i.e 6.


Count(salary): Return number of Non Null values over the column salary. i.e 5.
Count(Distinct Salary): Return number of distinct Non Null values over the column salary .i.e 4

2. Sum():

sum(salary): Sum all Non Null values of Column salary i.e., 310
sum(Distinct salary): Sum of all distinct Non-Null values i.e., 250.

3. Avg():

Avg(salary) = Sum(salary) / count(salary) = 310/5


Avg(Distinct salary) = sum(Distinct salary) / Count(Distinct Salary) = 250/4
4. Min():

Min(salary): Minimum value in the salary column except NULL i.e., 40.

5.Max():

Max(salary): Maximum value in the salary i.e., 80.
