AGGREGATE

FUNCTION
AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS
 Aggregate functions are used to compute
against a "returned column of numeric data"
from your SELECT statement.
 They basically summarize the results of a
particular column of selected data.
AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS
 MIN
 returns the smallest value in a given column
 MAX
 returns the largest value in a given column
 SUM
 returns the sum of the numeric values in a given column
 AVG
 returns the average value of a given column
 COUNT
 returns the total number of values in a given column
 COUNT(*)
 returns the number of rows in a table
EXAMPLES
 Example 1:
 SELECT AVG(salary)
 FROM employee
 This statement will return a single result
which contains the average value of
everything returned in the salary column
from the employee table.
EXAMPLES
 Example 2:
 SELECT AVG(salary)
 FROM employee
 WHERE title = 'Programmer'
 This statement will return the average
salary for all employees whose title is equal
to 'Programmer'
EXAMPLES
 Example 3:
 SELECT Count(*)
 FROM employees;
 This particular statement is slightly
different from the other aggregate functions
since there isn't a column supplied to the
count function. This statement will return
the number of rows in the employees table.
GROUP BY CLAUSE
 The GROUP BY clause will gather all of the
rows together that contain data in the
specified column(s) and will allow aggregate
functions to be performed on the one or
more columns.
GROUP BY CLAUSE
 Syntax:
 SELECT [aggregate function][column name]
 FROM [table name]
 GROUP BY [column name] / [column1,
column2, …..]
EXAMPLE 1:
 Let's say you would like to retrieve a list of
the highest paid salaries in each dept:
 SELECT max(salary), dept
 FROM employee
 GROUP BY dept
 This statement will select the maximum
salary for the people in each unique
department. Basically, the salary for the
person who makes the most in each
department will be displayed. Their, salary
and their department will be returned.
HAVING CLAUSE
 Defines the condition that is then applied to groups of rows

Syntax:
SELECT
FROM
GROUP BY
HAVING condition

Note:
condition contains an aggregate function or constants
HAVING EXAMPLES

 Display the stores that have a sale of more than


100
SELECT stor_id, sum(qty)
FROM sales
GROUP BY stor_id
HAVING sum(qty)>100
HAVING EXAMPLES

 Find book type and average price for that type. Only
show groups if the average price in that group is
greater than $12
SELECT type, avg(price) [Average Price]
FROM titles
GROUP BY type
HAVING avg(price) > 12
COMPUTE CLAUSE
 Uses aggregate functions to calculate summary values
that appear as additional rows in the result of a
query
Syntax:
SELECT
FROM
WHERE
COMPUTE aggregate function
COMPUTE EXAMPLES
 Display the title of the book whose price is
greater than 20. Compute the sum of the price
of the books.
SELECT title, price
FROM Titles
WHERE price >20
COMPUTE sum(price)
COMPUTE EXAMPLES
 Display the employees
that were hired in 1992
and display the lowest
hired date.
SELECT fname, lname,
hire_date
FROM employee
WHERE hire_date
LIKE '%1992%'
COMPUTE min(hire_date)
