Question

I have the following sql statement:

select val, count(*) as tally from sometable group by val order by tally desc

Which produces the following (example) table:

val | tally
----+-------
4   | 20
5   | 10
6   | 5
7   | 3
8   | 2

Now, I want to only display the rows where tally > 5, so the result will be:

val | tally
----+-------
4   | 20
5   | 10

I tried this statement, but it does not work (it says “tally” is unknown):

select val, count(*) as tally from sometable where tally > 5 group by val order by tally desc

Answer 1

Try HAVING (more information):

select val, count(*) as tally from sometable group by val having tally > 5 order by tally desc
