About this course

Introduction:
Actian Data Platform, Vector and Actian X all provide inbuilt database functions for Standard Deviation and Variance calculations. Aggregate functions return a single value, calculated from values in a column. They take a set of values as their argument. Aggregate functions are also called set functions.
Course Style:
The video content is a simple to follow step-by-step format for implementing the Standard Deviation and Variance functionality. The functions covered in this video are stddev_pop(), stddev_samp(), var_pop() and var_samp().
Audience:
This video is aimed at Administrators, Developers and Analysts who have responsibility for analysing the data contained within the production database.
Prerequisites:
  • Access to the correct level of Actian Database software as described in the training.
