What is the difference between a HAVING CLAUSE and a WHERE CLAUSE?..

Answer / menagadev

The HAVING clause sets conditions on the GROUP BY clause
similar to the way WHERE interacts with SELECT. The WHERE
search condition is applied before the grouping operation
occurs; the HAVING search condition is applied after the
grouping operation occurs. The HAVING syntax is exactly
like the WHERE syntax, except HAVING can contain aggregate
functions.

What is the difference between a HAVING CLAUSE and a WHERE CLAUSE?..

Answer / sudheer gowlikar

Having clause Specifies a search condition for a group or
an aggregate. 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.
