I know I need to have (although I don’t know why) a GROUP BY

  • 0

I know I need to have (although I don’t know why) a GROUP BY clause on the end of a SQL query that uses any aggregate functions like count, sum, avg, etc:

SELECT count(userID), userName FROM users GROUP BY userName 

When else would GROUP BY be useful, and what are the performance ramifications?

    To retrieve the number of widgets from each widget category that has more than 5 widgets, you could do this:

    SELECT WidgetCategory, count(*) FROM Widgets GROUP BY WidgetCategory HAVING count(*) > 5 

    The ‘having’ clause is something people often forget about, instead opting to retrieve all their data to the client and iterating through it there.
