Examples
List all cycling
aggregates:
USE cycling; DESC AGGREGATES;
average(int)
Show the definition of the cycling average
aggregate:
DESC AGGREGATE cycling.averageThe result is an executable CQL statement:
CREATE AGGREGATE cycling.average(int) SFUNC avgstate STYPE frozen<tuple<int, bigint>> FINALFUNC avgfinal INITCOND (0, 0);
