Examples of SQL HAVING

Now we want to find the total number of visits is greater than 200 sites.

We use the following SQL statement:

Examples

SELECT Websites.name, Websites.url, SUM(access_log.count) AS nums FROM (access_log
INNER JOIN Websites
ON access_log.site_id=Websites.id)
GROUP BY Websites.name
HAVING SUM(access_log.count) > 200;

Execute the above SQL output results are as follows:

Now we want to find the total number of visits is greater than 200 sites, and less than 200 alexa rank.

We add an ordinary SQL statement WHERE clause:

Examples

SELECT Websites.name, SUM(access_log.count) AS nums FROM Websites
INNER JOIN access_log
ON Websites.id=access_log.site_id
WHERE Websites.alexa < 200
GROUP BY Websites.name
HAVING SUM(access_log.count) > 200;

Execute the above SQL output results are as follows:
