Answer / anto padma sheela
1. Having clause is usually used with Group By clause
although it can be used without it too.
2. 'Having' is just an additional filter to 'Where' clause.
3. 'Where' clause applies to the individual rows
whereas 'Having' clause is used to test some condition on
the group(usually aggregate methods) rather than on
individual rows.

Answer / anant chavda
Þ The WHERE clause excludes rows that do not meet its
search conditions
Þ The GROUP BY clause collects rows that met the WHERE
clause search conditions and places those rows into a group
for each unique value in the GROUP BY clause. Omitting the
GROUP BY clause creates a single group for the whole table.
Þ The HAVING clause excludes groups that do not meet
its conditions. For example: When a query includes a GROUP
BY clause, the HAVING clause excludes groups from the
results. A SELECT statement containing a HAVING clause
without a GROUP BY clause will process the result as one
whole set. Aggregate functions specified in the select_list
calculate summary values for each surviving group.
