Another thing people may want to do is to limit the output based on the corresponding sum (or any other aggregate functions). For example, we might want to see only the stores with sales
over $1,500. Instead of using the WHERE clause in the SQL statement, though, we need to use the HAVING clause, which is
reserved for aggregate functions. The HAVING clause is typically placed near the end of the SQL statement, and a SQL statement with the HAVING clause may or may not include the GROUP BY clause. The syntax for HAVING is,
SELECT "column_name1", SUM("column_name2")
FROM "table_name"
GROUP BY "column_name1"
HAVING (arithmetic function condition)
Note: the GROUP BY clause is optional.
In our example, table Store_Information,
Table Store_Information
| store_name |
Sales |
Date |
| Los Angeles |
$1500 |
Jan-05-1999 |
| San Diego |
$250 |
Jan-07-1999 |
| Los Angeles |
$300 |
Jan-08-1999 |
| Boston |
$700 |
Jan-08-1999 |
we would type,
SELECT store_name, SUM(sales)
FROM Store_Information
GROUP BY store_name
HAVING SUM(sales) > 1500
Result:
| store_name |
|
SUM(Sales) |
| Los Angeles |
|
$1800
