CHAPTER 4Creating a Simple Query

介紹一種如何建立SQL語句的技術--“Request/Translation/CleanUp/SQL”

 

The SELECT operationin SQL can be broken down into three smaller operations,

which we will referto as the SELECT statement,the SELECT expression,

and the SELECTquery.

一層包含一層,相互嵌套使用,可以構成非常複雜的SELECT.

 

 

 

SELECT Statement的其它關鍵詞都比較熟悉,這兒稍微解釋GROUP BY和HAVING

GROUP BY—When youuse aggregate functions in the SELECT clause

to produce summaryinformation, you use the GROUP BY clause to

divide theinformation into distinct groups.Your database system uses

any column or listof columns following the GROUP BY keywords as

grouping columns.The GROUP BY clause is optional, and we’ll examine

it further inChapter 13, Grouping Data.

 

HAVING—The HAVINGclause filters the result of aggregate functions

in groupedinformation. It is similar to the WHERE clause in that the

HAVING keyword isfollowed by an expression that evaluates to true,

false, orunknown.You can test the expression by using standard comparison

operators, Booleanoperators, or special operators. HAVING is

also an optionalclause, and we’ll take a closer look at it in Chapter 14,

Filtering GroupedData.
