Answer from AI

Main aggregation functions in SQL used for data analysis:

  • COUNT() — counts the number of rows.
  • SUM() — calculates the sum of values in a column.
  • AVG() — calculates the average value.
  • MIN() — finds the minimum value.
  • MAX() — finds the maximum value.

Example of usage:

SELECT department, COUNT(*) AS employee_count, AVG(salary) AS average_salary
FROM employees
GROUP BY department;

This query counts the number of employees and the average salary for each department.
