  • The “COUNT” function is used to compute the number of rows in a table.

The example for “COUNT” function is given below:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM STUDENT WHERE MARK_CREDIT >= 90;

The above query is used to display the number of students whose mark credit is greater or equal to “90” by using “COUNT” function.
