Question

How can I make this select the 7500 or greater from the ON_HAND VALUE column?

” List the part number part descrtiption and onhand value for each part whose on hand value is at least $7,500. Assign ON_HAND_VALUES as the computed column.”

This is what I have so far, I tried subquerys IN statements but I cant figure it out.

SELECT PART_NUM, DESCRIPTION, SUM(ON_HAND * PRICE) AS ON_HAND_VALUE
FROM PART
WHERE SUM(ON_HAND * PRICE)'7500'
GROUP BY PART_NUM, DESCRIPTION;

Part Table

Answer 1

you can’t use where, you have to use having with aggregate functions:

SELECT PART_NUM, DESCRIPTION, SUM(ON_HAND * PRICE) AS ON_HAND_VALUE
FROM PART
GROUP BY PART_NUM, DESCRIPTION;
HAVING SUM(ON_HAND * PRICE)'7500'

where is evaluated before grouping and summing happens, having evaluates on the result set, after records are filtered and grouped
