The document outlines the use of aggregate functions in SQL, including COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, and MIN, along with their syntax and examples. It also explains the GROUP BY and HAVING clauses for filtering grouped results, as well as the creation and deletion of views in a database. The document provides practical examples using a 'students' table to illustrate these concepts.

AIM: Queries using Aggregate functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX and MIN), GROUP BY, HAVING and
Creation and dropping of Views.

DESCRIPTION:
Aggregate functions perform calculations on a set of values and return a single value.

COUNT() → Counts the number of rows.


SUM() → Returns the sum of values.
AVG() → Returns the average value.
MAX() → Returns the maximum value.
MIN() → Returns the minimum value.
CREATE TABLE students ( roll_number INT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(15), marks INT, subject VARCHAR(15));

Syntax: SELECT COUNT(column_name) FROM table_name
EXAMPLE: SELECT subject, COUNT(*) AS total_students

FROM student
GROUP BY subject;
OUTPUT:

subject total_students

EXAMPLE: SELECT subject, AVG(marks) AS average_marks FROM student
GROUP BY subject;
OUTPUT:
subject average_marks

GROUP BY: groups rows with the same values.
SYNTAX: SELECT column_name, aggregate_function(column_name)FROM table_name GROUP BY
column_name;
EXAMPLE: SELECT name, subject, SUM(marks) AS FROM student GROUP BY name, subject;

OUTPUT:

HAVING: filters grouped results based on conditions.


SYNTAX: SELECT column_name, aggregate_function(column_name) FROM table_name GROUP BY
column_name HAVING condition;
EXAMPLE: SELECT subject, AVG(marks) AS average_marks FROM student GROUP BY subject

HAVING AVG(marks) > 80;


OUTPUT:

subject average_marks

CREATE VIEW: A view is a virtual table based on an SQL query.
SYNTAX: CREATE VIEW view_name AS SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM table_name WHERE
condition;
EXAMPLE: CREATE VIEW high_scorers AS SELECT roll_number, name, marks, subject
FROM student WHERE marks > 80;
Output: View created.

Select from the View:


SELECT * FROM high_scorers;

DROP VIEW: Deletes a view from the database.


Syntax: DROP VIEW view_name;

Example: drop view high scorers;


Output: View dropped.

Result: Hence Queries using Aggregate functions is executed successfully.
