Certain aggregate functions can also be used within SQLAlchemy by using the func module.

To import this module, execute:

from sqlalchemy.sql import func

Once func is imported, the following aggregate functions are available:

COUNT

The following example counts the number of records in a set of groups using the session object's query() method.

rs = session.query(func.count(Comments.Id).label("CustomCount"), Comments.CreatorName).group_by(Comments.CreatorName)
for instance in rs:
	print("Count: ", instance.CustomCount)
	print("CreatorName: ", instance.CreatorName)
	print("---------")

You can also execute COUNT using the session object's execute() method:

rs = session.execute(Comments_table.select().with_only_columns([func.count(Comments_table.c.Id).label("CustomCount"), Comments_table.c.CreatorName])group_by(Comments_table.c.CreatorName))
for instance in rs:

SUM

This example calculates the cumulative amount of a numeric column in a set of groups.

rs = session.query(func.sum(Comments.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomSum"), Comments.CreatorName).group_by(Comments.CreatorName)
for instance in rs:
	print("Sum: ", instance.CustomSum)
	print("CreatorName: ", instance.CreatorName)
	print("---------")

You can also invoke SUM using the session object's execute() method.

rs = session.execute(Comments_table.select().with_only_columns([func.sum(Comments_table.c.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomSum"), Comments_table.c.CreatorName]).group_by(Comments_table.c.CreatorName))
for instance in rs:

AVG

This example uses the session object's query() method to calculate the average amount of a numeric column in a set of groups:

rs = session.query(func.avg(Comments.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomAvg"), Comments.CreatorName).group_by(Comments.CreatorName)
for instance in rs:
	print("Avg: ", instance.CustomAvg)
	print("CreatorName: ", instance.CreatorName)
	print("---------")

You can also use the session object's execute() method to invoke AVG:

rs = session.execute(Comments_table.select().with_only_columns([func.avg(Comments_table.c.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomAvg"), Comments_table.c.CreatorName]).group_by(Comments_table.c.CreatorName))
for instance in rs:

MAX and MIN

This example finds the maximum value and minimum value of a numeric column in a set of groups.

rs = session.query(func.max(Comments.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomMax"), func.min(Comments.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomMin"), Comments.CreatorName).group_by(Comments.CreatorName)
for instance in rs:
	print("Max: ", instance.CustomMax)
	print("Min: ", instance.CustomMin)
	print("CreatorName: ", instance.CreatorName)
	print("---------")

You can also use the session object's execute() method to invoke MAX and MIN:

rs = session.execute(Comments_table.select().with_only_columns([func.max(Comments_table.c.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomMax"), func.min(Comments_table.c.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomMin"), Comments_table.c.CreatorName]).group_by(Comments_table.c.CreatorName))
for instance in rs:
