Aggregate Functions

Aggregate functions work on data sets instead of single values. They include COUNT, SUM, AVERAGE, MEDIAN, MAXIMUM, and MINIMUM. The COUNT function counts the number of records that match a criteria, such as counting the number of people per country in a database table. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to write SQL queries using the COUNT aggregate function to return the number of citizens per country.
