Hi The SQL HAVING keyword provides a search condition for a group or aggregate. The SQL HAVING clause works together with the SQL SELECT clause. The SQL HAVING clause is somewhat similar to the SQL WHERE clause because it specifies a search condition. There is one important difference between SQL HAVING and SQL WHERE clauses. The SQL WHERE clause condition is tested against each and every row of data while the SQL HAVING clause condition is tested against the groups and/or aggregates specified in the SQL GROUP BY clause and/or the SQL SELECT column list. It is important to understand that if a SQL statement contains both SQL WHERE and SQL HAVING clauses the SQL WHERE clause is applied first and the SQL HAVING clause is applied later to the groups and/or aggregates. Example:- SELECT City AVG(AverageTemperature) FROM Weather GROUP BY City HAVING AVG(AverageTemperature) > 19

Hi Vikas 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. When GROUP BY is not used HAVING behaves like a WHERE clause. Having Clause is basically used only with the GROUP BY function in a query. WHERE Clause:- is applied to each row before they are part of the GROUP BY function in a query.
