Could we use MAX and MIN to find the longest or shortest string?
4,293.71
3.33
That's a good question.
4,297.04
1.1
So let's actually pause on this counting here and try that out real quick.
4,298.14
3.43
So I'll come back to my terminal.
4,301.57
1.87
And let me try to use MAX and MIN with some book titles.
4,303.44
4.04
So I'll say Select--
4,307.48
2.61
let's select the MAX title.
4,310.09
2.7
And at the same time, why don't we select the MIN title as well?
4,312.79
4.99
And I'll select these from my "longlist" table.
4,317.78
3.14
I'll hit Semicolon.
4,320.92
1.45
And now, let me try this out.
4,322.37
2.74
I'll get back Wretchedness and A New Name--
4,325.11
3.99
Septology VI-VII.
4,329.1
3.47
Now, there's a few hypotheses here.
4,332.57
2.37
It does seem that our MAX "title" is shorter than our MIN "title."
4,334.94
4.59
So it's probably not that MAX gives us the length of the string,
4,339.53
4.33
but what do you notice?
4,343.86
1.56
Well, I see MIN is really early on in the alphabet.
4,345.42
3.515
It has an A here, whereas MAX has a W, pretty low in the alphabet.
4,348.935
5.355
And I would bet if we ordered these book titles,
4,354.29
3.03
we would see a new name up at the very top and a Wretchedness, the book here,
4,357.32
5.82
down at the bottom.
4,363.14
1.57
So MAX seems to give us the lowest alphabetically, which
4,364.71
4.04
is kind of contradictory with titles here or strings.
4,368.75
2.88
And MIN gives us the earliest in the alphabet using this A as well.
4,371.63
6.56
OK.
4,378.19
0.75
So a good question.
4,378.94
0.97
Let's come back to our counting here.
4,379.91
1.93
Let's go back to my terminal.
4,381.84
1.24
And again, we had, in this case, 78 rows, but only 76 translators.
4,383.08
6.06
So, again, if I did SELECT COUNT star from, let's say,
4,389.14
3.57
"longlist" then Semicolon, I get back 78.
4,392.71
4.29
But if I do SELECT COUNT of "translator" from "longlist," I get back 76.
4,397
8.28
And let me ask again, why do we have 78 rows but 76 translators?
4,405.28
6.36
Feel free to say it.
4,411.64
2.495
OK, so I'm seeing maybe we have some number of rows, 78.
4,414.135
5.215
But for our translators, you remember, two of those were null values.
4,419.35
4.5
They didn't exist in our table.
4,423.85
1.96
So it seems like if we use COUNT star, we're counting all the rows.
4,425.81
4.83
But if we use COUNT "translator," some column that has null values,
4,430.64
4.07
we're only getting back those rows or those values that aren't null.
4,434.71
4.3
So COUNT, when given a column, counts only those that
4,439.01
3.05
are not null that exist in our table.
4,442.06
4.56
OK, let's look at one more example here for counting.
4,446.62
2.62
And let's try this.
4,449.24
2.74
Let's say I want to find all of the publishers in this database.
4,451.98
4.1
I'll say SELECT COUNT of "publisher" from my "longlist."
4,456.08
6.15
And I'll hit Semicolon.
4,462.23
2.16
So you might think that I have 78 publishers in this long list.
4,464.39
5.94
But would it be accurate if I were to say
4,470.33
1.86
I have 78 different publishers in this longlist?
4,472.19
4.97
Could I say that?
4,477.16
2.92
I'm seeing no, right?
4,480.08
1.47
I couldn't try to count up these publishers
4,481.55
2.73
and then say I have 78 different ones.
4,484.28
1.98
I might double count the publisher along the way.
4,486.26
3.12
And let me show you what we mean here.
4,489.38
1.72
So I'll go back to my table.
4,491.1
1.58
And let me try to select from publishers or select the publisher column
4,492.68
4.68
from longlist.
4,497.36
1.17
I'll select "publisher" from "longlist."
4,498.53
3.57
Hit Semicolon.
4,502.1
1.77
Oops, and now I see something a little odd.
4,503.87
2.82
Let me scroll back up and maybe ask for a raised hand here.
4,506.69
6.38
Why might I get this odd result?
4,513.07
6.49
SPEAKER: Because of the quotes?
4,519.56
1.758
CARTER ZENKE: Yeah.
4,521.318
0.792
So I think I mistyped some of my query here.
4,522.11
2.25
I said it looks like "pubsliher" instead of "publisher."
4,524.36
4.29
And in this case, SQL will give me what I asked for.
4,528.65
3.21
I said SELECT "pubsliher" from "longlist."
4,531.86
2.54
And says, OK, here it is.
4,534.4
1.36
But that column doesn't exist so it creates this data for me.
4,535.76
3.07
So let me try this again.
4,538.83
2.03
I'll go back.
4,540.86
0.66
And I'll hopefully type this correctly now.
4,541.52
1.95
I'll say SELECT, let's say, "publisher," this one, FROM "longlist" Semicolon.
4,543.47
8.89
And now I'll see all of the publishers that I have in my table.
4,552.36
4.91
But what do you see?
4,557.27
0.848
Well, some repeat, right?
4,558.118
1.042
I have Harvill Secker multiple times here.
4,559.16
3.18
I have similarly MacLehose Press multiple times as well.
4,562.34
3.67
So if I count it up, these publishers, I would
4,566.01
3.11
get each one counted one time, which I want to find
4,569.12
3.6
the distinct ones the different ones.
4,572.72
2.04
I need a new keyword for this.
4,574.76
2.04
And for this, we'll use this keyword indeed called DISTINCT, trying
4,576.8
3.39
to find unique values from our column.
4,580.19
3.46
So let's try this.
4,583.65
1.31
I'll go back over here and I will now select not just publishers,
4,584.96
5.4
but distinct publishers.
4,590.36
1.71
I'll say SELECT DISTINCT publisher from "longlist" Semicolon.
4,592.07
7.75
Now, if I scroll through here, I should see each publisher in here
4,599.82
5.1
only one time.
4,604.92
1.83
If they have the same name, they've been filtered out.
4,606.75
2.58
And now they're only the same publisher here too.
4,609.33
3.21
So I will then try to say SELECT, let's say,
4,612.54
2.31
COUNT of "publisher," SELECT COUNT of "publisher" from--
4,614.85
6.167
COUNT of DISTINCT "publisher," for instance.
4,621.017
1.833
COUNT distinct publisher-- oh, typo, "publisher" FROM "longlist" Semicolon.
4,622.85
12.29
