Quick Answer
Aggregate functions compute a single value from multiple rows. COUNT(*): total row count. COUNT(col): non-NULL values count. SUM(col): total of values. AVG(col): average. MAX(col)/MIN(col): largest/smallest value. GROUP_CONCAT(col): combines values into a string. Used with GROUP BY to compute per-group summaries. NULL values are ignored by all aggregates except COUNT(*).
