    4.1 Sorting Data: Function Output

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses SQL concepts including sorting data with the ORDER BY clause, using aggregate functions like COUNT, MIN, MAX, AVG and SUM, and grouping query results with the GROUP BY clause. It provides examples of queries that sort customer data by country, find the minimum, maximum, average and total prices of products, and count the number of customers in each country. It also explains how to use multiple columns in the ORDER BY clause and perform calculations without using aggregate functions directly.

    Learning objectives:
     Sort the data in the resulting query
     Apply SQL aggregate functions
     Apply GROUP BY clause

    4.1 Sorting Data

    ORDER BY Clause
    Sorts the result-set in ascending or descending order.
    Default is ascending order, use the DESC keyword otherwise.
    Listed last in the select command sequence.
    Lists null columns first (Depends on DBMS)

    ORDER BY Syntax
    SELECT column1, column2, ...
    FROM table_name
    ORDER BY column1, column2, ... [ASC|DESC];

    Show contact name and country from the "Customers" table, sorted by the "Country" column:
    SELECT ContactName, Country FROM Customers
    ORDER BY Country;

    Show contact name and country from the "Customers" table in DESCENDING order by the
    "Country" column:
    SELECT ContactName, Country FROM Customers
    ORDER BY Country DESC;

    ORDER BY Several Columns


    Display contact name, city, and country from the "Customers" table, sorted by the "Country" and the
    "City" column. This means that it orders by Country, but if some rows have the same Country, it
    orders them by City:
    SELECT ContactName, Country, City FROM Customers
    ORDER BY Country, City;

    4.2 Aggregate Functions


    SQL can perform mathematical summaries through the use of aggregate (or group) functions.
    Aggregate functions return results based on groups of rows.

    Function Output
    MIN The minimum attribute value encountered in a given column
    MAX The maximum attribute value encountered in a given column
    COUNT The number of rows containing non-null values
    AVG The arithmetic mean (average) for a specified column
    SUM The sum of all values for a given column
    Find the minimum price among all products from the “Products” table.
    SELECT MIN(UnitPrice) FROM Products;

    Find the maximum price among all products from the “Products” table.
    SELECT MAX(UnitPrice) FROM Products;

    Find the number of all products from the “Products” table.


    SELECT COUNT(ProductID) FROM Products;

    Find the average price of all products from the “Products” table.
    SELECT AVG(UnitPrice) FROM Products;

    Find the total price of all products from the “Products” table.
    SELECT SUM(UnitPrice) FROM Products;

    Find the average price of all products from the “Products” table without using AVG function.
    SELECT (SUM(UnitPrice)/COUNT(ProductID)) from products;

    4.3 GROUP BY Clause


    Groups rows that have the same values into summary rows, like "find the number of customers
    in each country".
    Is often used with aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, MIN, SUM, AVG) to group the result-
    set by one or more columns.

    GROUP BY Syntax
    SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition
    GROUP BY column_name(s)
    ORDER BY column_name(s);

    List the number of customers in each country.


    SELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country FROM Customers GROUP BY
    Country;

    Lists the number of customers in each country, sorted high to low:


    SELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country
    FROM Customers
    GROUP BY Country
    ORDER BY COUNT(CustomerID) DESC;
