This PR adds support for aggregation clauses to queries, allowing you to compute summary values from an entity result set.
Previously, queries always returned a bag of entities. To get high-level insights (e.g. count of open tasks, total invoice amount), you'd need to export and process the data externally.
Aggregations go at the end of a query as a final clause. They transform the entity set into a single value or extracted fields. The implementation adds an
Aggregationenum to the query data model, a newAggregationResultreturn type, per-aggregation execution modules, and grammar/parser support for parsing them.Supported aggregations:
select <field>, ...— extract specific field valuescount [<field>]— count entities (optionally by field presence)sum <field>— sum a numeric field (integer, float, or currency)average <field>— compute the meanmedian <field>— compute the medianSyntax:
Closes #37
