10.SQL Queriesaggregate Functions

Group functions operate on sets of rows and return a single aggregated value per group. Common group functions include COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, and MIN. The document provides examples of using each group function on the Emp table to return values like the average salary, number of rows, highest salary, and total sum of salaries. It also demonstrates other string and numeric functions like UPPER, LOWER, SUBSTR, and ROUND.
