Sequence 079 — T2 - GROUP BY and aggregates

Stage: Technology Gate A — Relational Foundation
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual

When / purpose

Summarize data without accidental double counting.

What you should learn

  • COUNT / SUM / AVG / MIN / MAX.
  • GROUP BY.
  • Aggregation grain.
  • COUNT(*) vs COUNT(column) awareness.

What to read / study

Priority Resource Use now Stop point
MUST Technology Competency Roadmap Use the exact active technology block and stopping boundary. Do not study later blocks.
REFERENCE Detailed Technology Competency Reference Use only the section named by this card. Do not convert the reference into a separate curriculum.

Do this in order

  1. Create counts by status/location/category.
  2. Write the expected grain first.
  3. Compare pre-join and post-join row counts.
  4. Explain one double-counting risk.

Meridian application

Use Meridian synthetic data and the local lab environment only when the card calls for practice.

Create / save

Aggregation query set.

Stop / boundary

Stop at governance/data-management working depth; do not expand into DBA or engineering specialization.

Completion gate

You can aggregate correctly and explain why the numbers are not duplicated.
