+### Aggregating Data { #aggregating }
+
+You can aggregate data in two ways:
+
+- **Aggregate the current entity:** Use [aggregate functions](#aggregation-functions) like `sum` in the columns clause of your `Select` statement, usually together with [groupBy](#group-by), to summarize or group data.
+
+- **Aggregate associated entities:** Use dedicated aggregation methods to calculate values over to-many associations directly in your queries. See [Aggregating over Associations](#aggregating-associations).
+
+
+#### Aggregation Functions { #aggregation-functions }
+
+Use [aggregation functions](/guides/databases#aggregate-functions) to calculate minimums, maximums, totals, averages, and counts of values. You can use them in *columns* of `Select` statements to include the aggregated values in the result set, or in the [having](#having) clause to filter based on aggregated values.
+
+
+#### Grouping { #grouping }
 
 The Query Builder API offers a way to group the results into summarized rows (in most cases these are aggregate functions) and apply certain criteria on it.

-#### Group By
+##### Group By { #group-by }
 
 The `groupBy` clause groups by one or more elements and usually involves aggregate [functions](query-api#scalar-functions), such as `count`, `countDistinct`, `sum`, `max`, `avg`, and so on. It returns one row for each group.

+#### Aggregating over Associations <Beta /> { #aggregating-associations }
+
+Use the aggregation methods `min`, `max`, `sum`, and `count` to calculate minimums, maximums, totals, and counts of values of associated entities directly in your CQL queries. You can use these aggregation methods in *columns* to include the aggregated values in the result set, or in the *where* clause to filter the result set based on aggregated values.
+
+::: tip
+Use [infix filters](/cds/cql#with-infix-filters) to aggregate only a subset of a (to-many) association.
+:::
+
+##### min
+
+Find the minimum value of an element in a collection.
+
+```java
+Select.from(ORDERS).columns(
+    o -> o.id(),
+    o -> o.items()
+       .filter(i -> i.amount().gt(0)) // optional filter
+       .min(i -> i.amount()).as("minAmount")
+);
+```
+
+This query selects each order’s id and the minimum item amount greater than 0 as "minAmount".
+
+##### max
+
+Find the maximum value of an element in a collection.
+
+```java
+Select.from(ORDERS)
+    .where(o -> o.items().max(i -> i.amount()).gt(100));
+```
+
+This query selects all orders where the maximum item amount is greater than 100.
+
+##### sum
+
+Calculate the total of a numeric element across related entities.
+
+```java
+Select.from(ORDERS).columns(
+    o -> o.id(),
+    o -> o.items().sum(i -> i.amount().times(i.price())).as("orderTotal")
+);
+```
+
+This query selects each order's id and the total order amount (sum of amount times price) as "orderTotal".
+
+##### count
+
+Count non-null values of an element in a collection.
+
+```java
+Select.from(ORDERS)
+    .where(o -> o.items().count(i -> i.discount()).gt(0));
+```
+
+This query selects all orders where at least one item has a discount.

 ### Ordering and Pagination
 
 The Query Builder API allows to specify the sort order of query results. The _sort specification_ governs, according to which elements the result is sorted, and which sort order (ascending or descending) is applied.
