MySQL的AVG函數是用來求出各種記錄中的字段的平均值。
要了解AVG功能考慮EMPLOYEE_TBL表具有以下記錄:
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl; +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 | | 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 | | 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
現在,假設根據上面的表,要計算所有的dialy_typing_pages的平均值,那麼可以通過使用下面的命令:
mysql> SELECT AVG(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl; +-------------------------+ | AVG(daily_typing_pages) | +-------------------------+ | 230.0000 | +-------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.03 sec)
可以把平均使用GROUP BY子句設置的各種記錄。下面的例子將采取平均到一個人的所有相關的記錄,每個人的平均頁打印紙。
mysql> SELECT name, AVG(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl GROUP BY name; +------+-------------------------+ | name | AVG(daily_typing_pages) | +------+-------------------------+ | Jack | 135.0000 | | Jill | 220.0000 | | John | 250.0000 | | Ram | 220.0000 | | Zara | 325.0000 | +------+-------------------------+ 5 rows in set (0.20 sec)
