Effect
Aggregate expression in a SELECT statement of a . An aggregate expression calculates a single value from an operand operand by calling an aggregate function from multiple rows of a result set. The operands can have any data type except LCHR, LRAW, STRING, RAWSTRING, or GEOM_EWKB. The following table shows the possible aggregate functions:
Aggregate Function | Meaning | Result Type |
MAX | Greatest value of operand | Data type of operand |
MIN | Least value of operand | Data type of operand |
AVG | Average value of operand (the operand must be numeric). Type INT8 is only supported with addition AS dtype. The types DF16_..., DF34_... for decimal free floating numbers are not supported. The types DATN, TIMN, and UTCL are not supported either. | ,FLTP, platform-dependent interim result or dtype |
SUM | Sum of operand (the operand must be numeric). The types DF16_..., DF34_... for decimal free floating numbers are not supported. The types DATN, TIMN, and UTCL are not supported either. | Data type of operand |
COUNT | If DISTINCT operand is specified, the number of distinct values of operand is counted; if * is specified, the number of rows in the result set is counted. | INT4 |
If ALL is used, all rows in the result set are respected, which is the standard setting. If DISTINCT is used, only distinct values of operand are respected.
The following can be specified for operand:
- A literal
- A field of a data source data_source of the current CDS view
- A path expression that identifies a field of a data source data_source
- A case distinction CASE that returns a value
The data type of the result is defined when the CDS view is activated and is determined by the aggregate function and the value range of the data types of the operands. If the result of aggregate function AVG is returned in a result set, the result type is FLTP. As the interim result in a clause, the result type can be platform-dependent. With addition AS dtype, the result type can be defined for every operand position.
Aggregate expressions can be used as elements of a SELECT list. Here they need an alternative element name defined using AS and require a GROUP BY clause to be used. Aggregate expressions can be compared with literals in a HAVING condition.
Notes
- The names of the aggregate functions AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN, and SUM are protected and cannot be used as self-defined names.
- To add aggregate expressions in the SELECT list to a CDS view using EXTEND VIEW, the values #PROJECTION_LIST and #GROUP_BY must be specified with the annotation AbapCatalog.viewEnhancementCategory[ ].
- The result of the aggregate functions AVG in data type FLTP is platform-dependent.
- When using count(*) on a client-dependent table which has no entries, then no result is returned. The expected behavior would be that a '0' is returned, but instead, the result field remains empty (it also doesn't contain the null value).
- count(*) on an empty, client-independent table returns '0', as expected.
Example
In the SELECT list of the CDS view sales_order, aggregate expressions calculate the sum, the minimum, and the maximum of the gross amounts of each business partner. Also, the number of requests is determined. An alternative element name is defined for each aggregation. The non-aggregated fields buyer_guid and currency_code are specified in the GROUP BY clause.
@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'SALES_ORDER_VW'
define view sales_order as
select from snwd_so
{ key buyer_guid,
@Semantics.currencyCode
currency_code,
@Semantics.amount.currencyCode: 'currency_code'
sum(gross_amount) as sum_gross_amount,
@Semantics.amount.currencyCode: 'currency_code'
min(gross_amount) as min_gross_amount,
@Semantics.amount.currencyCode: 'currency_code'
max(gross_amount) as max_gross_amount,
@Semantics.amount.currencyCode: 'currency_code'
avg(gross_amount) as avg_gross_amount,
count(*) as sales_orders_count }
group by buyer_guid, currency_code
