聚合函數的作用是根據一個輸入值的集合計算出一個單獨的結果值。
下面的表中列出了內置的聚合函數。
| Function | Argument Type | Return Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVG(expression) | INTEGER, REAL, DOUBLE PRECISION, NUMBER | NUMBER for any integer type, DOUBLE PRECISION for a floating-point argument, otherwise the same as the argument data type | The average (arithmetic mean) of all input values |
| COUNT(*) | BIGINT | Number of input rows | |
| COUNT(expression) | Any | BIGINT | Number of input rows for which the value of expression is not null |
| MAX(expression) | Any numeric, string, ordate/time type | Same as argument type | Maximum value of expression across all input values |
| MIN(expression) | Any numeric, string, or date/time type | Same as argument type | Minimum value of expression across all input values |
| SUM(expression) | INTEGER, REAL, DOUBLE PRECISION, NUMBER | BIGINT for SMALLINT or INTEGER arguments, NUMBER forBIGINT arguments, DOUBLE PRECISION for floating?point arguments, otherwise the same as the argument data type | Sum of expression across all input values |
應該注意的是除了函數COUNT外，當沒有查詢出記錄時，其它函數返回空值。特別是，如果沒有記錄的話，函數SUM返回空值，而不是像期待的那樣，返回0。當必要的時候，您可以使用函數 COALESCE將空值替換為0。
下面的表格顯示了通常用于統計分析的聚合函數（之所以和上面的通用聚合函數分開列出，是為了更明確各自的功能）。在描述中提到N的地方，表示對于那些輸入表達式為非空的輸入記錄的數量 。在所有情況下，如果計算沒有意義，例如，當N是0的時候，函數會返回空值。
