LAB EXERCISE #3 - AGGREGATING DATA AND GROUP FUNCTIONS
1.1 Objective 1.2 Theory 1.3 Assignment
1.1 OBJECTIVE: To perform various group functions
1.2 THEORY AND CONCEPTS: Group functions differ from single-row functions in how they
are evaluated. Single-row functions are evaluated once for each row retrieved. Group functions are
evaluated on groups of one or more rows at a time. Group functions are sometimes called aggregate
functions and return a value based on a number of inputs. The exact number of inputs are not
determined until the query is executed and all rows are fetched. This differs from single-row
functions in which the number of inputs is knows at parse time-before the query is executed. These
are as follows:
Function Description
AVG Returns the statistical mean
COUNT Returns the number of non-NULL rows
MAX Returns the largest value
MIN Returns the smallest value
SUM Adds all values and returns the result
Grouping date with GROUP BY: Group functions work on data that is grouped. We tell the
database how to group or categorize data with a GROUP BY clause. Whenever we use a group
function in SELECT clause of a SELECT statement, we must place all non-grouping/non-constant
columns in the GROUP BY clause. If no GROUP BY clause id specified, the default grouping
becomes the entire result set.
Syntax:
SELECT <columnname1>,….,<columnname n>, <aggregate function(columnname)>
FROM <tablename>
GROUP BY <columnname>;
Limiting grouped data with HAVING: Group functions cannot be used in WHERE clause.
Grouping is done after all rows have been fetched.
Syntax:
SELECT <columnname1>,….,<columnname n>, <aggregate function(columnname)>
FROM <tablename>
GROUP BY <columnname>
HAVING <condition>;
