SUBSTRING(str, pos)
SUBSTRING(str, pos,len)- SUBSTRING(str FROM pos FOR len)
The forms without a len argument return a substring from string str
starting at position pos. The forms with a len argument return a
substring len characters long from string str, starting at position pos.
The forms that use FROM are standard SQL syntax. It is also possible
to use a negative value for pOs. In this case, the beginning of the
substring is pos characters from the end of the string, rather than the
beginning.

(avg)aggregate function is used
Group with Aggregate Functions
An Aggregate function may applied on a column with DISTINCT or ALL keyword.
If nothing is given ALL is assumed.
Using SUM (<Column>)
This function returns the sum of values in given column or expression.
mysql> Select Sum(Sal) from EMP;
mysql> Select Sum(DISTINCT Sal) from EMP;
mysql> Select Sum (Sal) from EMP where City="Jaipur;
mysql> Select Sum (Sal) from EMP Group By City;
mysql> Select Job, Sum(Sal) from EMP Group By Job;
Using MIN (<column>)
This functions returns the Minimum value in the given column.
mysql> Select Min(Sal) from EMP;
mysql> Select Min(Sal) from EMP Group By City;
mysql> Select Job, Min(Sal) from EMP Group By Job;
Created by: Abhay
Using MAX (<Column>) coIumn.
returns the Maximum value in given
n i s Tunction
mysql> Select Max(Sal) from EMIP;
where City="Jaipur
mysql> Select Max(Sal) from EMP
mysql> Select Max(Sal) from EMP Group
By City;
Using AVG (<column>)
This functions returns the Average value
in the given column.
mysql> Select AVG(Sall) from EMP;
mysql> Select AVG(Sal) from EMP Group By City;
Using COUNT (<*|column>)
This functions returns the number of rows in the given column.
mysql> Select Count(*) from EMP;
mysql> Select Count($al) from EMP Group By City:
mysgl> Select Count("), Sum($al) from ElMP Groujp By Job:
Aggregate Functions & Conditions
YOu may use any condition on group, if
<condition> required. HAVING
clause is used to apply a condition on a
group.
mysql> Select Job,Sum(Pay) from EMP Group By Job HAVING Sum(Pay)>=8000;
mysql> Select Job, Sum(Pay) from EMP Group By Job HAVING Avg(Pay)>=7000;
mysql> Select Job, Sum(Pay) from EMP Group By Job HAVING Count(*)>=5;
mysql> Select Job, Min(Pay),Max(Pay), Avg(Pay) from EMP Group By Job HAVING
Sum(Pay)>=8000;
mysql> Select Job, Sum(Pay) from EMP Where City="Jaipur
Note:-Where clause works in respect of whole table but Having works on
Group only. If Where and Having both are used then Where will be executed first.
