# Aggregation functions
Currently 2 aggregation functions are supported.
* `count() -> int`
* `exists() -> bool`
* `QuerysetProxy`
* `QuerysetProxy.count()` method
* `QuerysetProxy.exists()` method
## count
`count() -> int`
Returns number of rows matching the given criteria (i.e. applied with `filter` and `exclude`)
```python
class Book(ormar.Model):
class Meta:
tablename = "books"
metadata = metadata
database = database
id: int = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
title: str = ormar.String(max_length=200)
author: str = ormar.String(max_length=100)
genre: str = ormar.String(
max_length=100,
default="Fiction",
choices=["Fiction", "Adventure", "Historic", "Fantasy"],
)
```
```python
# returns count of rows in db for Books model
no_of_books = await Book.objects.count()
```
## exists
`exists() -> bool`
Returns a bool value to confirm if there are rows matching the given criteria (applied with `filter` and `exclude`)
```python
class Book(ormar.Model):
class Meta:
tablename = "books"
metadata = metadata
database = database
id: int = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
title: str = ormar.String(max_length=200)
author: str = ormar.String(max_length=100)
genre: str = ormar.String(
max_length=100,
default="Fiction",
choices=["Fiction", "Adventure", "Historic", "Fantasy"],
)
```
```python
# returns a boolean value if given row exists
has_sample = await Book.objects.filter(title='Sample').exists()
```
## QuerysetProxy methods
When access directly the related `ManyToMany` field as well as `ReverseForeignKey`
returns the list of related models.
But at the same time it exposes a subset of QuerySet API, so you can filter, create,
select related etc related models directly from parent model.
### count
Works exactly the same as [count](./#count) function above but allows you to select columns from related
objects from other side of the relation.

### exists
Works exactly the same as [exists](./#exists) function above but allows you to select columns from related
objects from other side of the relation.
