Aggregate function

Each query in SQL returns filtered results of groups of values and also the field values. SQL provides aggregate functions to help with the summarization of large volumes of data.

This function can produce a single value for an entire group or table.

They operate on sets of rows and return results based on groups of rows.

The general syntax for most of the aggregate function is as follows:

aggregate_function( [ DISTINCT | ALL ] expression)

List of SQL Aggregate functions are :
