# Aggregate functions in SQL
|
|
|
|
Aggregate functions enable us to return data about the data that a table holds.
|
|
For example the sum of a given column or its average.
|
|
|
|
## Count return with custom variable
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total_sales
|
|
FROM SALES
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sum
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT SUM(price) as total_value
|
|
FROM sales
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Average
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT AVG(price) as average_income
|
|
FROM sales
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Applying aggregate function with sorting applied
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total_sales
|
|
FROM sales
|
|
GROUP BY employee_id
|
|
```
