MySQL是什么玩意儿（五）使用MySQL函数

MySQL支持SQL常用的函数，如集合函数、字符串处理函数和日期函数等。一些编程过程中经常遇到的MySQL函数：

COUNT() 用来统计表中记录个数或者列中值的个数

MAX() 返回某列中的最大值

MIN() 返回某列中的最小值

SUM() 将指定列的值求和

AVG() 计算指定列的平均值

lENGTH() 计算字符串的长度

SUBSTRING() 截取子字符串

YEAR() 返回指定日期的年份，范围在1000~9999之间。类似的还有MONTH()   HOUR()

UNIX_TIMESTAMP() 返回一个UNIX时间戳

DATE_FORMAT() 将一个日期格式化

NOW() 返回MySQL服务器系统的当前日期和时间

SELSECT COUNT(*) FROM users;
SELECT COUNT(name) FROM users WHERE name LIKE 'J%';
SELECT MAX(salary) AS max_salary FROM emp_salary;
SELECT MIN(salary) AS min_salary FROM emp_salary;
SELECT SUM(salary) AS total_salary FROM emp_salary;
SELECT AVG(salary) AS avg_salary FROM emp_salary;
SELECT LENGTH('string in MySQL');
SUBSTRING(string,pos,len);
SELECT YEAR(created_time) AS year FROM users WHERE id=3;
SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() AS timestamp;
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(created_time,'%Y年%m月%d日')  AS DATE  FROM users WHERE id=3;
SELECT NOW() AS date_time;
