COUNT(DISTINCT *expression*) evaluates expression for each row in a group, and returns the number of unique, nonnull values.ĬOUNT is a deterministic function when used without the OVER and ORDER BY clauses.COUNT(ALL ) evaluates expression for each row in a group, and returns the number of nonnull values.This includes NULL values and duplicates. COUNT(*) with GROUP BY returns the number of rows in each group.This includes rows comprised of all- NULL values and duplicates. COUNT(*) without GROUP BY returns the cardinality (number of rows) in the resultset.Int NOT NULL when ANSI_WARNINGS is ON, however SQL Server will always treat COUNT expressions as int NULL in metadata, unless wrapped in ISNULL. See OVER clause (Transact-SQL) for more information. The order_by_clause determines the logical order of the operation.

If not specified, the function treats all rows of the query result set as a single group. The partition_by_clause divides the result set produced by the FROM clause into partitions to which the COUNT function is applied. This includes rows that contain null values. COUNT(*) returns the number of rows in a specified table, and it preserves duplicate rows. COUNT(*) doesn't require an expression parameter because by definition, it doesn't use information about any particular column. COUNT(*) takes no parameters and doesn't support the use of DISTINCT. Specifies that COUNT should count all rows to determine the total table row count to return. COUNT doesn't support aggregate functions or subqueries in an expression. expressionĪn expression of any type, except image, ntext, or text. Specifies that COUNT returns the number of unique nonnull values. Arguments ALLĪpplies the aggregate function to all values.
