The HAVING clause was added to SQL because the WHERE keyword could not be used with aggregate functions.
In this tutorial we will use the well-known Northwind sample database.

10249 | 81 | 6 | 1996-07-05 | 1 |
10250 | 34 | 4 | 1996-07-08 | 2 |

EmployeeID | LastName | FirstName | BirthDate | Photo | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Davolio | Nancy | 1968-12-08 | EmpID1.pic | Education includes a BA.... |
2 | Fuller | Andrew | 1952-02-19 | EmpID2.pic | Andrew received his BTS.... |
3 | Leverling | Janet | 1963-08-30 | EmpID3.pic | Janet has a BS degree.... |

We add an ordinary WHERE clause to the SQL statement:
