Aggregating NBA data, PostgreSQL vs MongoDB

Re:Aggregating NBA data, PostgreSQL vs MongoDB by taylonr on Tuesday February 18, 2014 @09:32AM (#7258251)

Just to nitpick, the article says aggregates have been in SQL for 3 or 4 decades, but SQL wasn't an ANSI standard until 1986 (28 years ago, almost 3 decades.) I get that a language exists before it is standardized, so were aggregates in SQL in the 70s/ early 80s or is this just a hyperbolic statement?

COUNT() and SUM() are aggregates. I'd be pretty surprised if they, or equivalents, weren't in very early versions of SQL.

Around from the very start in one form or another.
