How can we use MySQL SUM() function with HAVING clause?
By using MySQL SUM() function with the HAVING clause, it filters the result based on a specific condition given after the HAVING clause. To understand the above concept, consider an ‘employee_tbl’ table, which is having the following records −
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 |
| 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 |
| 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 |
| 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 |
| 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, the query below will use the HAVING clause with SUM() function to get the total of daily_typing_pages which are more than 250.
mysql> Select Name, SUM(daily_typing_pages) From employee_tbl GROUP BY NAME HAVING SUM(daily_typing_pages) > 250;
+------+-------------------------+
| name | SUM(daily_typing_pages) |
+------+-------------------------+
| Jack | 270 |
| Zara | 650 |
+------+-------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.17 sec)
