Using the HAVING clause

The HAVING clause is used to filter the GROUP BY results. The following code shows the HAVING syntax, where the WHERE and ORDER BY clauses are optional:

SELECT column(s) 
 FROM table
WHERE condition(s)
 GROUP BY columns(s)
 HAVING condition(s)
 ORDER BY column(s);

Learning how to use the HAVING clause to limit query results

Let's say you needed to see the results of running the GROUP BY clause in the previous section, but where the sum of at-bats is greater than 100. This is when you would use a HAVING clause, as shown in the following query:

USE lahmansbaseballdb; 
SELECT playerid, teamid, sum(AB) AS sum_at_bats
FROM batting 
GROUP BY playerid, teamid 
HAVING sum_at_bats > 100;
