# Count operates using three different approaches.
#
# * Count all: By not passing any parameters to count, it will return a count of all the rows for the model.
# * Count by conditions or joins: This API has been deprecated and will be removed in Rails 2.0
# * Count using options will find the row count matched by the options used.
#
# The last approach, count using options, accepts an option hash as the only parameter. The options are:
#
# * <tt>:conditions</tt>: An SQL fragment like "administrator = 1" or [ "user_name = ?", username ]. See conditions in the intro.
# * <tt>:joins</tt>: An SQL fragment for additional joins like "LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = id". (Rarely needed).
# The records will be returned read-only since they will have attributes that do not correspond to the table's columns.
# * <tt>:include</tt>: Named associations that should be loaded alongside using LEFT OUTER JOINs. The symbols named refer
# to already defined associations. When using named associations count returns the number DISTINCT items for the model you're counting.
# See eager loading under Associations.
# * <tt>:order</tt>: An SQL fragment like "created_at DESC, name" (really only used with GROUP BY calculations).
# * <tt>:group</tt>: An attribute name by which the result should be grouped. Uses the GROUP BY SQL-clause.
# * <tt>:select</tt>: By default, this is * as in SELECT * FROM, but can be changed if you for example want to do a join, but not
# include the joined columns.
# * <tt>:distinct</tt>: Set this to true to make this a distinct calculation, such as SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT posts.id) ...
#
# Examples for counting all:
# Person.count # returns the total count of all people
#
# Examples for count by +conditions+ and +joins+ (this has been deprecated):
# Person.count("age > 26") # returns the number of people older than 26
# Person.find("age > 26 AND job.salary > 60000", "LEFT JOIN jobs on jobs.person_id = person.id") # returns the total number of rows matching the conditions and joins fetched by SELECT COUNT(*).
#
# Examples for count with options:
# Person.count(:conditions => "age > 26")
# Person.count(:conditions => "age > 26 AND job.salary > 60000", :include => :job) # because of the named association, it finds the DISTINCT count using LEFT OUTER JOIN.
# Person.count(:conditions => "age > 26 AND job.salary > 60000", :joins => "LEFT JOIN jobs on jobs.person_id = person.id") # finds the number of rows matching the conditions and joins.
# Person.count('id', :conditions => "age > 26") # Performs a COUNT(id)
# Person.count(:all, :conditions => "age > 26") # Performs a COUNT(*) (:all is an alias for '*')
#
# Note: Person.count(:all) will not work because it will use :all as the condition. Use Person.count instead.
def count(*args)
calculate(:count, *construct_count_options_from_legacy_args(*args))
end
# Calculates average value on a given column. The value is returned as a float. See #calculate for examples with options.
#
# Person.average('age')
def average(column_name, options = {})
calculate(:avg, column_name, options)
end
# Calculates the minimum value on a given column. The value is returned with the same data type of the column.. See #calculate for examples with options.
#
# Person.minimum('age')
def minimum(column_name, options = {})
calculate(:min, column_name, options)
end
# Calculates the maximum value on a given column. The value is returned with the same data type of the column.. See #calculate for examples with options.
#
# Person.maximum('age')
def maximum(column_name, options = {})
calculate(:max, column_name, options)
end
# Calculates the sum value on a given column. The value is returned with the same data type of the column.. See #calculate for examples with options.
#
# Person.sum('age')
def sum(column_name, options = {})
calculate(:sum, column_name, options)
end
# This calculates aggregate values in the given column: Methods for count, sum, average, minimum, and maximum have been added as shortcuts.
# Options such as :conditions, :order, :group, :having, and :joins can be passed to customize the query.
#
# There are two basic forms of output:
# * Single aggregate value: The single value is type cast to Fixnum for COUNT, Float for AVG, and the given column's type for everything else.
# * Grouped values: This returns an ordered hash of the values and groups them by the :group option. It takes either a column name, or the name
# of a belongs_to association.
#
# values = Person.maximum(:age, :group => 'last_name')
# puts values["Drake"]
# => 43
#
# drake = Family.find_by_last_name('Drake')
# values = Person.maximum(:age, :group => :family) # Person belongs_to :family
# puts values[drake]
# => 43
#
# values.each do |family, max_age|
# ...
# end
#
# Options:
# * <tt>:conditions</tt>: An SQL fragment like "administrator = 1" or [ "user_name = ?", username ]. See conditions in the intro.
# * <tt>:joins</tt>: An SQL fragment for additional joins like "LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = id". (Rarely needed).
# The records will be returned read-only since they will have attributes that do not correspond to the table's columns.
# * <tt>:order</tt>: An SQL fragment like "created_at DESC, name" (really only used with GROUP BY calculations).

# * <tt>:distinct</tt>: Set this to true to make this a distinct calculation, such as SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT posts.id) ...
#
# Examples:
# Person.calculate(:count, :all) # The same as Person.count
# Person.average(:age) # SELECT AVG(age) FROM people...
# Person.minimum(:age, :conditions => ['last_name != ?', 'Drake']) # Selects the minimum age for everyone with a last name other than 'Drake'
# Person.minimum(:age, :having => 'min(age) > 17', :group => :last_name) # Selects the minimum age for any family without any minors
