Alright, let's wrap things up!
GROUP BY ROLLUP()works by creating additional rows with fewer grouping columns, as shown below:GROUP BY ROLLUP (A, B, C) = GROUP BY (A, B, C) + GROUP BY (A, B) + GROUP BY (A) + GROUP BY ()
- By changing the order of columns inside
ROLLUP, we change the grouping levels created. - Not all columns must be included inside
ROLLUP. Those outside its parentheses will always be used for grouping. - We can use
COALESCE(column_name, substitute_value)to show thesubstitute_valuewhencolumn_nameisNULL. - The
GROUPING(column_name)function shows if thecolumn_namecolumn is used in the grouping.
