Yes HAVING caluse can be use without GROUP BY. the SQL HAVING clause is often used with the GROUP BY clause. If the GROUP BY clause is omitted, the MySQL HAVING clause behaves like the WHERE clause. Notice that the MySQL HAVING clause applies the condition to each group of rows, while the WHERE clause applies the condition to each individual row.
