4-10 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. Objectives After completing this lesson, you should be able to do the following: Identify the available group functions Describe the use of group functions Group data using the GROUP BY clause Include or exclude grouped rows by using the HAVING clause After completing this lesson, you should be able to do the following: Identify the available group functions Describe the use of group functions Group data using the GROUP BY clause Include or exclude grouped rows by using the HAVING clause
4-11 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. What Are Group Functions? Group functions operate on sets of rows to give one result per group. EMP “maximum salary in salary in the EMP table” DEPTNO SAL MAX(SAL)
4-12 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. Types of Group Functions AVG COUNT MAX MIN STDDEV SUM VARIANCE AVG COUNT MAX MIN STDDEV SUM VARIANCE
4-13 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. Using Group Functions SELECTcolumn, group_function(column) FROMtable [WHEREcondition] [ORDER BYcolumn];
4-14 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. Using AVG and SUM Functions AVG(SAL) MAX(SAL) MIN(SAL) SUM(SAL) You can use AVG and SUM for numeric data. SQL> SELECTAVG(sal), MAX(sal), 2MIN(sal), SUM(sal) 3FROMemp 4WHEREjob LIKE 'SALES%';
4-15 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. Using MIN and MAX Functions You can use MIN and MAX for any datatype. SQL> SELECTMIN(hiredate), MAX(hiredate) 2 FROMemp; MIN(HIRED MAX(HIRED DEC JAN-83
4-16 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. Using the COUNT Function COUNT(*) SQL> SELECTCOUNT(*) 2 FROMemp 3 WHEREdeptno = 30; COUNT(*) returns the number of rows in a table.

4-20 Copyright Oracle Corporation, All rights reserved. Using the GROUP BY Clause All columns in the SELECT list that are not in group functions must be in the GROUP BY clause. SQL> SELECT deptno, AVG(sal) 2 FROM emp 3 GROUP BY deptno; DEPTNO AVG(SAL)
