Having Clause

The HAVING clause was added to SQL to allow filtering of aggregate functions in a GROUP BY clause, since the WHERE clause cannot be used with aggregate functions. The HAVING clause is used after the GROUP BY clause to filter groups based on conditions on aggregate functions. Two examples are provided using the HAVING clause with COUNT and AVG aggregate functions to filter groups based on having a count greater than or equal to 2, and having an average greater than 6500.

The 

HAVING clause was added to SQL because the WHERE keyword cannot be


used with aggregate functions.

SYNTAX:

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition
GROUP BY column_name(s)
HAVING condition
ORDER BY column_name(s);

EXAMPLES:

 Student_details table, which helps to analyze the HAVING clause with the COUNT
aggregate function:

Roll_No Name Marks Age

1 Rithik 91 20

2 Kapil 60 19

3 Arun 82 17

4 Ram 92 18

5 Anuj 50 20

6 Suman 88 18

7 Sheetal 57 19

8 Anuj 64 20

we want to count the number of students from the above table according to their age. For
this, we have to write the following query:

SELECT COUNT(Roll_No), Age FROM Student_details GROUP BY Age ;  
The above query will show the following output:

Count(Roll_No) Age

3 20

2 19

1 17

2 18

suppose that we want to show the age of those students whose roll number is more than
and equals 2. For this case, we have to type the following query with the HAVING clause in

SELECT COUNT(Roll_No), Age FROM Student_details GROUP BY Age HAVING COU
NT(Roll_No) >= 2 ;  

Count(Roll_No) Age

3 20

2 19

2 18

Example 2:  Employee_Dept table, which helps to analyze the HAVING clause with
AVG aggregate function:

Emp_ID Name Emp_Salary Emp_Dept

1001 Anuj 8000 Finance

1002 Saket 4000 HR

1003 Raman 3000 Coding


1004 Renu 6000 Coding

1005 Seenu 5000 HR

1006 Mohan 10000 Marketing

1007 Anaya 4000 Coding

1008 Parul 6000 Finance

If we want to find the average salary of employees in each department, we have to


write the following query:

SELECT AVG(Emp_Salary), Emp_Dept FROM Employee_Dept GROUP BY Emp_Dept;  

The above query will show the following output:

AVG(Emp_Salary) Emp_Dept

7000 Finance

4500 HR

6500 Coding

10000 Marketing

suppose that we want to show those departments whose average salary is more than
and equals 6500. For this case, with the HAVING clause in SQL:

SELECT AVG(Emp_Salary), Emp_Dept FROM Employee_Dept GROUP BY Emp_Dept H
AVING AVG(Emp_Salary) > 6500 ;  

The above SQL query will show the following table in the output:

AVG(Emp_Salary) Emp_Dept

7000 Finance

6500 Coding

10000 Marketing
