Description
GROUP BY is one of the most essential SQL features, allowing you to group rows that share common values and generate meaningful summaries. It helps in computing totals, counts, averages, and other aggregated results using functions like SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, and MAX. These aggregate functions allow you to extract insights from large datasets, making GROUP BY a powerful tool for data analysis and reporting.
