## Conclusion
Aggregate queries are simply a way of summarizing information in your database. Although they are a powerful tool, they can become complex very quickly, especially if you start nesting them together or combining multiple aggregate functions in a single query.
> Note: The real power of aggregate functions comes when you combine them with the WHERE or HAVING clause, allowing you to filter the data that you are summarizing.
