><P > It should be noted that except for <CODE CLASS="FUNCTION" >count</CODE >, these functions return a null value when no rows are selected.

As for <CODE CLASS="FUNCTION" >any</CODE > and <CODE CLASS="FUNCTION" >some</CODE >, it seems that there is an ambiguity built into the standard syntax: </P><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" >SELECT b1 = ANY((SELECT b2 FROM t2 ...)) FROM t1 ...;</PRE ><P> Here <CODE CLASS="FUNCTION" >ANY</CODE > can be considered either as introducing a subquery, or as being an aggregate function, if the subquery returns one row with a Boolean value.

A query like: </P><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" >SELECT count(*) FROM sometable;</PRE ><P> will require effort proportional to the size of the table: <SPAN CLASS="PRODUCTNAME" >PostgreSQL</SPAN > will need to scan either the entire table or the entirety of an index which includes all rows in the table. </P ></BLOCKQUOTE ></DIV ><P > The aggregate functions <CODE CLASS="FUNCTION" >array_agg</CODE >, <CODE CLASS="FUNCTION" >string_agg</CODE >, and <CODE CLASS="FUNCTION" >xmlagg</CODE >, as well as similar user-defined aggregate functions, produce meaningfully different result values depending on the order of the input values. This ordering is unspecified by default, but can be controlled by writing an <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >ORDER BY</TT > clause within the aggregate call, as shown in <A HREF="sql-expressions.html#SYNTAX-AGGREGATES" >Section 4.2.7</A >. Alternatively, supplying the input values from a sorted subquery will usually work. For example: </P><PRE CLASS="SCREEN" >SELECT xmlagg(x) FROM (SELECT x FROM test ORDER BY y DESC) AS tab;</PRE ><P> But this syntax is not allowed in the SQL standard, and is not portable to other database systems. </P ><P > <A HREF="functions-aggregate.html#FUNCTIONS-AGGREGATE-STATISTICS-TABLE" >Table 9-47</A > shows aggregate functions typically used in statistical analysis.

Where the description mentions <TT CLASS="REPLACEABLE" ><I >N</I ></TT >, it means the number of input rows for which all the input expressions are non-null.
