Summarizing Data using ROLLUP and CUBE

Leave a reply

The ROLLUP operator is used to get the summary information from results sets. The ROLLUP operator creates groupings by moving in one direction from right to left along the list of columns specified in the group by clause. Then applies the aggregate function to these groupings.

The cube operator can be applied to all aggregate functions including SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG, and COUNT. It is used to produce results sets that are typically used for cross-tabular reports, while ROLLUP produces only a fraction of possible subtotal combinations cube produces subtotals for all possible combinations of groupings specified in the GROUP BY clause and a grand total.

The GROUPING () function can be used with either the CUBE or ROLLUP operator.

Using the GROUPING () function we can differentiate stored NULL values from NULL values created by ROLLUP or CUBE.

The GROUPING function returns 0 or 1.
