+ The catalog <code class="structname">pg_aggregate</code> stores information about
+ aggregate functions. An aggregate function is a function that
+ operates on a set of values (typically one column from each row
+ that matches a query condition) and returns a single value computed
+ from all these values. Typical aggregate functions are
+ <code class="function">sum</code>, <code class="function">count</code>, and
+ <code class="function">max</code>. Each entry in
+ <code class="structname">pg_aggregate</code> is an extension of an entry
+ in <a class="link" href="catalog-pg-proc.html" title="53.39. pg_proc"><code class="structname">pg_proc</code></a>.
+ The <code class="structname">pg_proc</code> entry carries the aggregate's name,
+ input and output data types, and other information that is similar to
+ ordinary functions.
