Code Example:

USE bike;
SELECT category_id, AVG(list_price)
FROM product
GROUP BY category_id


Results:

USE bike:

• Set the bike database to be the default

SELECT category_id, AVG(list_price):

• Select the category_id from the base table
• Calculate the Average of the list price for all rows in the table

FROM product:

• Product is the base table from which data will be returned

GROUP BY category_id:

• Instead of returning a single value that is the average of all list_price items in the product table, return an average list_price for each category
• Without the GROUP BY clause, we see from our first example only a single row is returned with an average list_price of 1520.591402.
• With the GROUP BY clause, we return an average for each category_id.
