I'm preparing for DP-900 exam and I was having a hard time with the Group By statement and aggregate functions. This video has helped me understand it perfectly. Thanks! Subscribed.
Good question. It's because the word COUNT is a function, and functions need to have brackets at the end of the name so they can run. Inside the brackets for functions, we specify parameters, such as values or columns to be processed by the function. The COUNT function can count columns: for example, COUNT(first_name) counts the number of first_name values that are not NULL. The asterisk is a different parameter to the COUNT function, and it means "count the entire row". So, COUNT(*) means count the entire row. Hope that answers your question.
Mate you clarified something for me, I was wondering why I always had to add every other column I had to group by :) plenty helpful keep up the great tutorials!😃
Clear cut explanation, i always had doubt why we need to group by column which we used in select statement when we use aggregate functions in select, now its so clear. Thanks for the help
This was helpful and clear, thank you! I liked your group by question, because I tend to create a question like that when I'm struggling to formulate the correct query.
My only question is if you have 3 columns in the Select Statement with an aggregate function, for example, is it mandatory to always include all 3 columns in the group by clause? And if not, then how do we know which of the 3 columns must be included?
Good question. Yes, it's mandatory to include all three columns in the Group By clause. If you don't, you'll get an error about columns in the Select not in the Group By (the exact error will depend on the database vendor). The only exception is some versions of MySQL allow you to have a mismatch between the Group By and the Select. But you'll get a result that won't be correct, such as showing the first group only but the aggregate function on all rows.

1:18 why do we need the parenthesis around the asterisk in the SELECT FROM statement?

@@DatabaseStar got it, SO VERY helpful
i don't know how i'll remember all of this 🤦🏾♀️
Mate you clarified something for me, I was wondering why I always had to add every other column I had to group by :) plenty helpful keep up the great tutorials!😃
Glad it helped you understand the concept further!

Glad it helped!
Great explanation 💯🤍🤍🤍

Good to know, most important part was that the field selected should be in the group by clause. THey completely left that out in class
Glad you liked the video. Can’t believe they left that out of your class!
@@DatabaseStar It was a very rushed class tbh. Teaching finished at the beginning of November so I'm self-studying for finals😅😅
Thank you for this very useful video!
No problem, glad you liked it!
very detailed. clear. beautiful

Can you please make a crash course about "MySQL for Advanced Data Analytics"?
My only question is if you have 3 columns in the Select Statement with an aggregate function, for example, is it mandatory to always include all 3 columns in the group by clause? And if not, then how do we know which of the 3 columns must be included?
