HAVING is an additional filter on Aggregate totals. You can control the number of rows returned with a Having clause based on aggregate totals.
Real usage
HAVING works with Aggregate functions. It is an extra WHERE condition in SQL.
Syntax for HAVING
SELECT DEPT_NO, AVG(SALARY)
FROM EMPLOYEE_TABLE
WHERE DEPT_NO IN(10,20,30)
GROUP BY (DEPT_NO)
HAVING AVG(SALARY)>45000
ORDER BY 1;
WHERE vs HAVING
- The WHERE clause filters rows on a condition. The HAVING clause filters on Aggregate totals.
- The WHERE clause is a generic filter.
- HAVING clause is not generic. It is based on a certain value. Also, you can say literals.
