SQL and where
clause
• Where clause is used
to restrict number of
rows
• Required rows can
be fetch using Where
clause
• Applied at each row
of table

SQL and where
clause
• If there are multiple
conditions in where
clause then at a time
only one condition
will be evaluated

Group By Clause
• Group by clause
group together
similar row
together to form
group

statement only
those columns can
be displayed which
are written after
Group-by clause
Structured Query Language Basics
Implementing

Having Clause
To restrict groups
having clause is
used.
Equivalent to
Where clause
except having is
applied to groups
only
Structured Query Language Basics
Implementing

Group by deptno
Having count (*) > 3 and min(sal)>avg(sal)+100;
Structured Query Language Basics
Implementing
Having Clause-II
Structured Query Language Basics
Write a query to display maximum and
minimum salary by each department if
average salary is more than 1500 of the
department and less than 3000. The employee
should not be included if there is any
occurrence of ‘A’ in the ename or earning no
commission and is hired at least six month
before
Structured Query Language Basics
Select max(sal) , min(sal) from emp
Where ename not like ‘%A%’ or comm is null
and months_between(sysdate, hiredate)>6
Group by deptno

Use to sort data
Can use
independent of
where or group by
or having clause
Structured Query Language Basics
Select deptno, sal from emp
order by sal;
Structured Query Language Basics
What are Joins
Joins are required
when data from
Multiple tables are
required.
No of Joins = No.
Tables – 1
Comparison of PK
and FK are
implementation
Structured Query Language Basics

round(months_between(sysdate, hiredate),0),
hiredate from emp e, dept d where
d.deptno=e.deptno and months_between(sysdate,
hiredate) > 120 and job=‘Analyst’;
Structured Query Language Basics
What are Self
Joins
When PK and FK
belong to same
table
Same tables are
involved or written
after from
Used in recursive
relationships
Structured Query Language Basics
Implementing Self
Join-I

from emp e , emp b, dept d
where e.empno=b.mgr and d.deptno = b.deptno
And dname = 'ACCOUNTING';
Structured Query Language Basics
Subqueries
Query within a
query
Select data from
criteria which is
developing on run-
time
Alternate to Joins
Structured Query Language Basics
Subqueries
A subquery is used
to return data that
will be used in the
main query as a
condition to
further restrict the
data to be
retrieved.
Structured Query Language Basics
Implementing
SubQuery - I
