bookAdvanced Numeric Operations

When working with numeric data in SQL, you often need to go beyond basic arithmetic. Advanced numeric functions such as LOG and EXP help you analyze and transform data in ways that simple addition or subtraction cannot. The LOG function returns the natural logarithm (base e) of a number, which is useful for analyzing exponential trends or normalizing skewed data such as prices. The EXP function, on the other hand, returns e raised to the power of a given number, which can be valuable in scenarios like calculating compound growth or reversing a logarithmic transformation.

Mathematical aggregation functions also play a critical role in numeric analysis. Functions like SUM and AVG allow you to compute totals and averages across rows, providing insights into your data at a glance. These aggregations are essential for inventory management, sales analysis, and many other business processes.

By applying the LOG function to each product's price, you can identify how prices are distributed on a logarithmic scale. This is particularly useful if your data contains a wide range of values, as logarithmic transformation can help reveal patterns that are not obvious in the raw data.

Aggregate functions like SUM and AVG are used to calculate the total and average values of a column, respectively. For example, you might want to know the total stock available across all products or the average stock per product. Using these functions, you can quickly summarize large datasets and support inventory or sales decisions.
