SQL AVG() Function

SQL AVG() function returns the average value of a numeric column of a table and it ignores
NULL values during calculation.

Syntax
SELECT AVG(columnName) FROM TableName
In this article we will consider Student table to check how AVG() function works. We will
calculate average value of Fees column.
SELECT AVG(Fees) FROM Student 

So, average value of Fees column is 15766.

We can also use GROUP BY clause with AVG() function to calculate the average value as
follows.

SELECT FirstName, AVG(Fees) AS FEES FROM Student

GROUP BY FirstName
Here we are selecting FirstName column with average value of Fees column by
grouping FirstName column. So if you can observe in above output for student Gigi and
Roberto their Fees column is calculated on an average basis and returned average fees for
each one.
