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.

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.

clause.
