SQL Server

Database is a structured collection of data stored in a computer system. A database management system (DBMS) allows data to be easily accessed and organized, while a relational database management system (RDBMS) also enables the establishment of relationships between different tables of data. Key differences between DBMS and RDBMS include that RDBMS supports relationships between tables and multi-user access, while DBMS generally does not and is for single users.

Difference between Having and Where Clause


HAVING specifies a search condition for a group or an aggregate function used in SELECT statement.

HAVING can be used only with the SELECT statement. HAVING is typically used in a GROUP BY clause. When GROUP BY is not used, HAVING behaves like a WHERE clause.

A HAVING clause is like a WHERE clause, but applies only to groups as a whole, whereas the WHERE clause applies to individual rows.

A query can contain both a WHERE clause and a HAVING clause.

The HAVING clause is then applied to the rows in the result set. You can apply a HAVING clause only to 7/6/12
