INTRODUCTION:

Aggregation operators
An aggregate operators in performs a calculation on
multiple values and returns a single summarizing value. SQL
provides many aggregate operators that include avg , count,
sum, min, max, etc. An aggregate function ignores NULL
values when it performs the calculation ,except for the count
function.
We often use aggregation functions with the GROUPBY and
HAVING clauses of the SELECT statement.
Various types of SQL aggregate
operators are:
Count()
Sum()
Avg ()
Min()
Max()
COUNT FUNCTION
 The COUNT() function returns the number of rows in a database
table.
 Syntax:
count(expression)
 Example:
SUM FUNCTION
 The SUM() function returns the total sum of a numeric column in a
database table.
 Syntax:
sum(expression)
 Example:
AVG FUNCTION
 The AVG() function returns the average value of a numeric column
in a database table.
 Syntax:
avg(expression)
 Example:
MIN FUNCTION
 The MIN() aggregate function returns the lowest value(minimum) in
a set of non NULL values.
 Syntax:
min(expression)
 Example:
MAX FUNCTION
 The MAX() aggregate function returns the highest value(maximum)
in a set of non NULL values.
 Syntax:
max(expression)
 Example:
Advantages :
•Summarization: Aggregation functions provide a concise
summary of large datasets, making it easier to understand and
analyze the data.
•Simplicity: They simplify data analysis by condensing complex
information into a single value or a small set of values.

•Consistency: Aggregation functions provide consistent results,


regardless of the size or structure of the dataset.

•Ease of Use: They are straightforward to use, making them


accessible to both technical and non-technical users for data
analysis.
Disadvantages :
•Loss of Detail: Aggregation functions condense data, potentially leading to
loss of detail and important nuances present in the original dataset.
•Limited Analysis: Aggregation functions may not provide enough detail for
certain types of analysis, especially when exploring relationships within the
data.
•Inflexibility: Once data is aggregated, it may become challenging to extract
specific details or perform certain types of analysis.
•Over-Simplification: Aggregation functions can sometimes oversimplify
complex data relationships, leading to potentially misleading conclusions if
not used judiciously
Applications :
 Business intelligent and data warehousing
 Financial analysis
 Statistical analysis
 Data mining and machine learning
 Web Analytics
 Supply Chain Management
 Social Media Analytics
CONCLUSION:
•Aggregation operators are essential for combining
and summarizing data from various sources .They
help us reach conclusions or making decisions by
providing a collective preference relation.
