Explain SQL describing COUNT aggregate and CURRENT DATE function
Problem: Write a SQL query to count the number of orders which were placed today from the ORDERS DB2 table. (The date should not be hardcoded)
Solution
We can find the count of orders which are placed today using the below DB2 query:
Example
SELECT COUNT(ORDER_ID) AS ORDER_COUNT FROM ORDERS WHERE ORDER_DATE = CURRENT DATE
In this query, we have used the COUNT COLUMN function which will count the total number of ORDER_ID (primary key). In the WHERE clause, we will use the predicate for the ORDER_DATE column. The CURRENT DATE is a DB2 inbuilt function which will return the current system date.
For example, if we have below ORDERS DB2 table:
ORDER_ID | ORDER_TOTAL | ORDER_DATE |
Z22345 | 342 | 28-07-2020 |
Z62998 | 543 | 30-07-2020 |
Z56990 | 431 | 28-07-2020 |
Z56902 | 6743 | 29-07-2020 |
Z99781 | 443 | 27-07-2020 |
Z56112 | 889 | 30-07-2020 |
If the current date is 30-07-2020, then the query with CURRENT DATE predicate will return the below result:
ORDER_COUNT |
