SQL COUNT() function (*) includes null, rest do not

COUNT(*) returns the number of items in a group. This includes NULL values and duplicates.
COUNT(ALL expression) evaluates expression for each row in a group and returns the number of nonnull values.
COUNT(DISTINCT expression) evaluates expression for each row in a group and returns the number of unique, nonnull values.
For return values greater than 2^31-1, COUNT produces an error. Use COUNT_BIG instead.
