SQL GROUP BY Generator - Master Data Aggregation

GROUP BY is essential for data analysis - summarizing, counting, averaging, and finding patterns in your data. AI2sql GROUP BY Generator creates aggregation queries from plain English descriptions.

Understanding GROUP BY

GROUP BY combines rows with the same values into summary rows, typically used with aggregate functions:

  • COUNT() - Count rows

  • SUM() - Add up values

  • AVG() - Calculate average

  • MIN()/MAX() - Find extremes

  • GROUP_CONCAT() - Combine strings

GROUP BY Examples

Simple Aggregation

Input: "Count orders per customer"

SELECT 
  customer_id,
  COUNT(*) as order_count
 FROM orders
 GROUP BY customer_id
 ORDER BY order_count DESC;

Multiple Aggregations

Input: "Show sales summary by category with count, total, and average"

SELECT 
  category,
  COUNT(*) as transaction_count,
  SUM(amount) as total_sales,
  ROUND(AVG(amount), 2) as avg_sale,
  MIN(amount) as min_sale,
  MAX(amount) as max_sale
 FROM sales
 GROUP BY category;

Multiple Grouping Columns

Input: "Break down revenue by year and quarter"

SELECT 
  YEAR(order_date) as year,
  QUARTER(order_date) as quarter,
  SUM(total) as revenue,
  COUNT(*) as order_count
 FROM orders
 GROUP BY YEAR(order_date), QUARTER(order_date)
 ORDER BY year, quarter;

HAVING Clause

Input: "Find customers with more than 5 orders totaling over $1000"

SELECT 
  customer_id,
  COUNT(*) as order_count,
  SUM(total) as total_spent
 FROM orders
 GROUP BY customer_id
 HAVING COUNT(*) > 5 AND SUM(total) > 1000
 ORDER BY total_spent DESC;

GROUP BY with JOIN

Input: "Show total sales by product category name"

SELECT 
  c.category_name,
  COUNT(DISTINCT o.id) as orders,
  SUM(oi.quantity) as units_sold,
  SUM(oi.quantity * oi.price) as revenue
 FROM order_items oi
 INNER JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.id
 INNER JOIN categories c ON p.category_id = c.id
 INNER JOIN orders o ON oi.order_id = o.id
 WHERE o.status = 'completed'
 GROUP BY c.category_id, c.category_name
 ORDER BY revenue DESC;

Advanced Grouping

ROLLUP for Subtotals

SELECT 
  COALESCE(region, 'TOTAL') as region,
  COALESCE(product, 'Subtotal') as product,
  SUM(sales) as total_sales
 FROM sales_data
 GROUP BY ROLLUP(region, product);

CUBE for All Combinations

SELECT 
  region,
  product,
  SUM(sales) as total_sales
 FROM sales_data
 GROUP BY CUBE(region, product);

Common Mistakes We Prevent

  • Selecting non-aggregated columns without GROUP BY

  • Using WHERE instead of HAVING for aggregate conditions

  • Missing columns in GROUP BY clause

  • Incorrect aggregate function usage

Start Building Aggregation Queries

Turn raw data into insights. Describe the summary you need and get perfect GROUP BY queries.
