Aggregations

• Cassandra

YugabyteDB supports a number of standard aggregation functions. Let us go through some of these using an example. Consider a products table as shown below.

Let us create this table with ProductID as the primary hash key.

1. cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE store;

1. cqlsh> CREATE TABLE store.products (ProductID BIGINT PRIMARY KEY, ProductName VARCHAR, SupplierID INT, CategoryID INT, Unit TEXT, Price FLOAT, Quantity INT);

Now let us populate the sample data.

1. INSERT INTO store.products (ProductID, ProductName, SupplierID, CategoryID, Unit, Price, Quantity) VALUES (1, 'Chais', 1, 1, '10 boxes x 20 bags', 18, 25);
2. INSERT INTO store.products (ProductID, ProductName, SupplierID, CategoryID, Unit, Price, Quantity) VALUES (2, 'Chang', 1, 1, '24 - 12 oz bottles', 19, 12);
3. INSERT INTO store.products (ProductID, ProductName, SupplierID, CategoryID, Unit, Price, Quantity) VALUES (3, 'Aniseed Syrup', 1, 2, '12 - 550 ml bottles', 10, 10);
4. INSERT INTO store.products (ProductID, ProductName, SupplierID, CategoryID, Unit, Price, Quantity) VALUES (4, 'Chef Anton''s Cajun Seasoning', 2, 2, '48 - 6 oz jars', 22, 9);
5. INSERT INTO store.products (ProductID, ProductName, SupplierID, CategoryID, Unit, Price, Quantity) VALUES (5, 'Chef Anton''s Gumbo Mix', 2, 2, '36 boxes', 21.35, 40);

Counts

• Finding the number of item types in the store can be done as follows.

You can do this as shown below.

1. cqlsh> SELECT COUNT(ProductID) FROM store.products;

1. count(productid)

1. 5

(1 rows)

• We can give an alias name to the count column as follows.

You can do this as shown below.

1. cqlsh> SELECT COUNT(ProductID) as num_products FROM store.products;

1. num_products

1. 5

(1 rows)

• Finding the number of item types for supplier 1 can be done as follows.

You can do this as shown below.

1. cqlsh> SELECT COUNT(ProductID) as supplier1_num_products FROM store.products WHERE SupplierID=1;

1. supplier1_num_products

1. 3

(1 rows)

Numeric aggregation functions

The standard aggregate functions of min, max, sum and count are built-in functions.

• To find the total number of items in the store, run the following query.

You can do this as shown below.

1. cqlsh> SELECT SUM(Quantity) FROM store.products;

1. sum(quantity)

1. 96

(1 rows)

• To find the price of the cheapest and the most expensive item, run the following.

You can do this as shown below.

1. cqlsh> SELECT MIN(Price), MAX(Price) FROM store.products;

1. min(price) | max(price)
2. ------------+------------
3. 10 |         22

5. (1 rows)
