The HAVING Clause enables you to specify conditions that filter which group results appear in the results.

The WHERE clause places conditions on the selected columns, whereas the HAVING clause places conditions on groups created by the GROUP BY clause.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the HAVING clause −

ij> SELECT column1, column2 . . . from table_name GROUP BY column having
condition;

Example

Suppose, we have a table named Employees in the database with the 13 records as shown below −

ID |NAME |SALARY |LOCATION
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 |Amit |30000 |Hyderabad
2 |Rahul |39000 |Lucknow
3 |Kalyan |40000 |Vishakhapatnam
4 |Renuka |50000 |Hyderabad
5 |Archana |15000 |Vishakhapatnam
6 |Krishna |40000 |Hyderabad
7 |Trupthi |45000 |Vishakhapatnam
8 |Raghav |12000 |Lucknow
9 |Radha |50000 |Delhi
10 |Anirudh |15000 |Mumbai
11 |Tara |45000 |Kochin
12 |Sucharita |44000 |Kochin
13 |Rizwan |20000 |Lucknow 

The following query displays maximum salaries of the employees in the location which have at least 3 employees −

ij> SELECT Location, MAX(Salary) from Employees GROUP BY Location having
count(Location)>=3;

This generates the following output −

LOCATION |2
------------------------------------------------------------
Hyderabad |50000
Lucknow |39000
Vishakhapatnam |45000

Sorting Data using JDBC program

This section teaches you how to use Having a clause in the Apache Derby database using JDBC application.

If you want to request the Derby network server using network client, make sure that the server is up and running. The class name for the Network client driver is org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver and the URL is jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE_NAME;create=true;user=USER_NAME;passw ord=PASSWORD“

Follow the steps given below to sort the records of a table in Apache Derby

Step 1: Register the driver

To communicate with the database, first of all, you need to register the driver. The forName() method of the class Class accepts a String value representing a class name, and loads it in to the memory, which automatically registers it. Register the driver using this method.

Step 2: Get the connection

In general, the first step we do to communicate to the database is to connect with it. The Connection class represents the physical connection with a database server. You can create a connection object by invoking the getConnection() method of the DriverManager class. Create a connection using this method.

Step 3: Create a statement object

You need to create a Statement or PreparedStatement or, CallableStatement objects to send SQL statements to the database. You can create these using the methods createStatement(), prepareStatement() and, prepareCall() respectively. Create either of these objects using the appropriate method.

Step 4: Execute the query

After creating a statement, you need to execute it. The Statement class provides various methods to execute a query like the execute() method to execute a statement that returns more than one result set. The executeUpdate() method executes queries like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. The executeQuery() method returns data. Use either of these methods and execute the statement created previously.

Example

Following JDBC example demonstrates how to use Group By clause and perform CURD operations on a table in Apache Derby using JDBC program. Here, we are connecting to a database named sampleDB (will create if it does not exist) using the embedded driver.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
public class HavingClauseExample {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      //Registering the driver
      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");

      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:sampleDB;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Creating a table and populating it
      stmt.execute("CREATE TABLE EmployeesData( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))");
      stmt.execute("INSERT INTO EmployeesData(Name, Salary, Location) "
         + "VALUES (''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Rahul'', 39000, ''Lucknow''), "
         + "(''Renuka'', 50000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Archana'', 15000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Raghav'', 12000, ''Lucknow''), "
         + "(''Suchatra'', 33000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Rizwan'', 20000, ''Lucknow'')");
      //Executing the query
      String query = "SELECT Location, MAX(Salary) "
         + "from EmployeesData GROUP BY Location having "
         + "count(Location)>=3";
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
      while(rs.next()) {
         System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
         System.out.println(rs.getString(2));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Hyderabad
50000

Lucknow
39000

Vishakhapatnam
45000
