Assume the database contains more than 1 billion rows and exceeds 2 GB in size .Looking for the average of a billion student test scores? That's an "A" for effort changing the original example to something more "realistic" to justify your preference, then. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
