bookWhat is grouping?

Grouping - is arranging observations into sub-groups based on unique values in some column. For example, we can group our audi_cars table by transmission column (contains 3 unique values). There will be observations within each subgroup. So, what's the point of grouping?

In SQL grouping is often used in pair with some aggregate function within SELECT. For example, we can calculate the average price for each transmission type.

123
SELECT AVG(price), transmission FROM audi_cars GROUP BY transmission
copy

This will return all the transmissions types with average prices within each group.
