The HAVING Clause enables you to specify conditions that filter which group results appear in the results.
The WHERE clause places conditions on the selected columns, whereas the HAVING clause places conditions on groups created by the GROUP BY clause.
Syntax
The following code block shows the position of the HAVING Clause in a query.
SELECT FROM WHERE GROUP BY HAVING ORDER BY
The HAVING clause must follow the GROUP BY clause in a query and must also precede the ORDER BY clause if used. The following code block has the syntax of the SELECT statement including the HAVING clause −
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table1, table2 WHERE [ conditions ] GROUP BY column1, column2 HAVING [ conditions ] ORDER BY column1, column2
Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records.
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 | | 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 | | 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 | | 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 | | 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Following is an example, which would display a record for a similar age count that would be more than or equal to 2.
SQL > SELECT ID, NAME, AGE, ADDRESS, SALARY FROM CUSTOMERS GROUP BY age HAVING COUNT(age) >= 2;
This would produce the following result −
+----+--------+-----+---------+---------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+--------+-----+---------+---------+ | 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 | +----+--------+-----+---------+---------+
