Study Notes

SQL GROUP BY Clause

  • Organizes data into groups based on identical values in specified columns.
  • Enables use of aggregate functions (SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN/MAX) on each group for analysis.

Syntax and Usage

  • Groups rows with identical values in specified columns.

Single-Column Grouping

  • Groups rows with same values in a single column.
  • Aggregate functions calculate results for each group (e.g., sum of salaries for each employee name).

Multiple-Column Grouping

  • Groups rows with identical values across multiple columns.
  • Used to group by combinations of criteria.

HAVING Clause

  • Filters groups based on aggregate conditions.
  • Used to select specific groups after applying aggregate functions.
    • Cannot use aggregate functions directly in WHERE clause.

Example Use Cases

  • Analyzing employee salaries by department.
  • Finding the total sales for each product category.
  • Identifying the highest-performing students in various subjects.

Key Considerations

  • GROUP BY clause is used with SELECT statements.
  • Suitable for summarizing data across groups rather than filtering individual rows based on conditions within each group.
