Aggregate (In Database)

Synopsis

Performs an aggregation / GROUP BY operation on the current result.

Description

This operator performs the well known GROUP BY operation using the specified list of grouping attributes. It then applies the specified aggregate functions on the selected columns. The aggregate functions can be defined in two different ways: either explicitly in a list, or by using the attribute selector and specifying a default aggregation function for these columns. The two methods can be combined. Note that the known HAVING clause from SQL can be simulated by an additional Filter Examples operator following this one.
