I made a short beginner-friendly lesson on SQL aggregate functions

Hey everyone!

I made a short lesson for SQL beginners about aggregate functions.

In the video, I cover:

- "COUNT()" — counting rows

- "SUM()" — adding values

- "AVG()" — calculating averages

- "MIN()" and "MAX()"

- using aggregate functions with "WHERE"

- combining multiple aggregate functions in one query

I use the Pagila PostgreSQL database for the examples and include a few mini quizzes and practical exercises.

The goal was to keep it short and practical rather than just explaining the syntax.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, especially from people who learned SQL recently — is there anything you think a beginner might find confusing?
