We will discuss aggregate functions in SQL, focusing on the COUNT function.
The COUNT function is used to count the number of rows in a result set or the occurrences of a specified value in a column. For example, to find the total number of records in a table, you can use the COUNT function with the syntax `SELECT COUNT(*) AS alias_name FROM your_table_name`.
Additionally, to count the number of records for each distinct value in a column, you use the COUNT function with a GROUP BY clause. For instance: `SELECT Employee_ID, COUNT(*) AS Total FROM Educate_Cube_Sales GROUP BY Employee_ID`.
When using the COUNT function with other columns, always include a GROUP BY clause to avoid errors.
