Aggregate Functions
Aggregate Functions
- sum(expression)
Description: Specifies the sum of expressions across all input values.
Return type:
Generally, same as the argument data type. In the following cases, type conversion occurs:
- BIGINT for SMALLINT or INT arguments
- NUMBER for BIGINT arguments
- DOUBLE PRECISION for floating-point arguments
Example:

openGauss=# SELECT SUM(ss_ext_tax) FROM tpcds.STORE_SALES; sum -------------- 213267594.69 (1 row)
- max(expression)
Description: Specifies the maximum value of expression across all input values.
Parameter type: any array, numeric, string, or date/time type
Return type: same as the argument type
Example:
1openGauss=# SELECT MAX(inv_quantity_on_hand) FROM tpcds.inventory;
- min(expression)
Description: Specifies the minimum value of expression across all input values.
Parameter type: any array, numeric, string, or date/time type
Return type: same as the argument type

- checksum(expression)
Description: Returns the CHECKSUM value of all input values. This function can be used to check whether the data in the tables is the same before and after the backup, restoration, or migration of GaussDB (databases other than GaussDB are not supported). Before and after database backup, database restoration, or data migration, you need to manually run SQL commands to obtain the execution results. Compare the obtained execution results to check whether the data in the tables before and after the backup or migration is the same.
- For large tables, the execution of the CHECKSUM function may take a long time.
- If the CHECKSUM values of two tables are different, it indicates that the contents of the two tables are different. Using the hash function in the CHECKSUM function may incur conflicts. There is low possibility that two tables with different contents may have the same CHECKSUM value. The same problem may occur when CHECKSUM is used for columns.
- If the time type is timestamp, timestamptz, or smalldatetime, ensure that the time zone settings are the same when calculating the CHECKSUM value.
- If the CHECKSUM value of a column is calculated and the column type can be changed to TEXT by default, set expression to the column name.
- If the CHECKSUM value of a column is calculated and the column type cannot be converted to TEXT by default, set expression to Column name::TEXT.
- If the CHECKSUM value of all columns is calculated, set expression to Table name::TEXT.
The following types of data can be converted into TEXT types by default: char, name, int8, int2, int1, int4, raw, pg_node_tree, float4, float8, bpchar, varchar, nvarchar, nvarchar2, date, timestamp, timestamptz, numeric, and smalldatetime. Other types need to be forcibly converted to TEXT.
Return type: numeric
Example:
The following shows the CHECKSUM value of a column that can be converted to the TEXT type by default:
1 2 3 4 5
openGauss=# SELECT CHECKSUM(inv_quantity_on_hand) FROM tpcds.inventory; checksum ------------------- 24417258945265247 (1 row)
The following shows the CHECKSUM value of a column that cannot be converted to the TEXT type by default. Note that the CHECKSUM parameter is set to Column name::TEXT.

Description: Returns the value with the highest occurrence frequency in a column. If multiple values have the same frequency, the smallest value is returned. The sorting mode is the same as the default sorting mode of the column type. value is an input parameter and can be of any type.
Return type: same as the input parameter type
Example:
openGauss=# select mode() within group (order by value) from (values(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (2, 'c')) v(value, tag); mode ------ 2 (1 row) openGauss=# select mode() within group (order by tag) from (values(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (2, 'c')) v(value, tag); mode ------ a (1 row)
