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(Resources.Id).label("CustomCount"), Resources.FullPath).group_by(Resources.FullPath)
for instance in rs:
	print("Count: ", instance.CustomCount)
	print("FullPath: ", instance.FullPath)
	print("---------")

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

rs = session.execute(Resources_table.select().with_only_columns([func.count(Resources_table.c.Id).label("CustomCount"), Resources_table.c.FullPath])group_by(Resources_table.c.FullPath))
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(Resources.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomSum"), Resources.FullPath).group_by(Resources.FullPath)
for instance in rs:
	print("Sum: ", instance.CustomSum)
	print("FullPath: ", instance.FullPath)
	print("---------")

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

rs = session.execute(Resources_table.select().with_only_columns([func.sum(Resources_table.c.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomSum"), Resources_table.c.FullPath]).group_by(Resources_table.c.FullPath))
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(Resources.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomAvg"), Resources.FullPath).group_by(Resources.FullPath)
for instance in rs:
	print("Avg: ", instance.CustomAvg)
	print("FullPath: ", instance.FullPath)
	print("---------")

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

rs = session.execute(Resources_table.select().with_only_columns([func.avg(Resources_table.c.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomAvg"), Resources_table.c.FullPath]).group_by(Resources_table.c.FullPath))
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(Resources.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomMax"), func.min(Resources.AnnualRevenue).label("CustomMin"), Resources.FullPath).group_by(Resources.FullPath)
for instance in rs:
	print("Max: ", instance.CustomMax)
	print("Min: ", instance.CustomMin)
	print("FullPath: ", instance.FullPath)
	print("---------")

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

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