WHERE Clause

  • Used to filter rows before grouping.

  • Can be applied to individual rows/records.

  • Cannot be used with aggregate functions (like SUM(), COUNT(), AVG() etc.).

Example:

SELECT name, age FROM Students WHERE age > 18;

👉 Filters students older than 18 before any grouping happens.

HAVING Clause

  • Used to filter groups after the GROUP BY clause.

  • Works on the results of aggregate functions.

  • Must be used with GROUP BY (usually).

Example:

SELECT course_id, COUNT(student_id) AS total_students FROM Enrollments GROUP BY course_id HAVING COUNT(student_id) > 10;

👉 Filters only those courses where more than 10 students are enrolled.
