GROUP BY da HAVING suna aiki ta yaya?

Question

Accepted Answer

**`GROUP BY`** tana haɗa layuka da ke raba darajar iri daya, don haka aggregate functions (kamar COUNT, AVG) suna ƙididdige bawai ga kowane rukuni. **`HAVING`** tana tacewa rukunan (kamar `WHERE`, amma na rukunan/aggregates). Tare dake neman mahimman aikin tahlil da bincike data ta hanyar takaita.

## GROUP BY — ƙididdige kowane rukuni

```sql
SELECT country, COUNT(*) AS user_count, AVG(age) AS avg_age
FROM users
GROUP BY country;
-- one result row PER country, with that country's count and average age
```

`GROUP BY country` yana tsawarwa duk layuka na kowane kasa cikin rukuni daya, kuma aggregate functions (`COUNT`, `AVG`) suna ƙididdige darajar ga kowane rukuni. Zaka iya haɗa ta junaye mai yawa:

```sql
GROUP BY country, city          -- a group per unique (country, city) combination
```

## HAVING — tacewa rukunan

```sql
-- show only countries with MORE THAN 100 users
SELECT country, COUNT(*) AS user_count
FROM users
GROUP BY country
HAVING COUNT(*) > 100;          -- filter on the AGGREGATE
```

`HAVING` tana tacewa *bayan* haɗawa, akan darajar aggregate — wani abu da `WHERE` ba zai iya yi ba (WHERE tana tacewa layuka na jiya kafin haɗawa).

## WHERE vs HAVING — bambanci mai mahimmanci

```sql
SELECT country, COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM users
WHERE active = true             -- WHERE: filter ROWS first (before grouping)
GROUP BY country
HAVING COUNT(*) > 100;          -- HAVING: filter GROUPS after (on aggregates)
```

```text
WHERE  → filters individual ROWS, runs BEFORE grouping, can't use aggregates
HAVING → filters GROUPS, runs AFTER grouping, used WITH aggregates
→ Use WHERE to filter rows, HAVING to filter aggregated groups. (Filter with WHERE
  first when possible — it's more efficient, reducing rows before grouping.)
```

## Odar aiwatarwa

```text
FROM → WHERE → GROUP BY → HAVING → SELECT → ORDER BY
(WHERE before grouping, HAVING after — which is why their roles differ)
```

## Me yasa ya haɗa (Why it matters)

`GROUP BY` da `HAVING` sune mahimmin aikin **analytical SQL** — tahlil da takaita data ta hanyar category shine aiki manya, aiki na koyaushe (ƙididdige ta lardin kasuwa, siyarwa ta kaya, matakaitai ta rukuni), saboda haka fahimtar su yana dace. `GROUP BY` (haɗawa layuka don aggregate suna ƙididdige ta rukuni) shine tushe na rukunan takaita, da fahimtar yadda yake tuɓa layuka cikin rukunan don tsammanin yake dace.

**Bambancin `WHERE` da `HAVING`** yana da mahimmanci sosai kuma ana abin ruɗi: `WHERE` tana tacewa layuka na jiya *kafin* haɗawa (kuma ba zai iya amfani da aggregates ba), yayin da `HAVING` tana tacewa rukunan *bayan* haɗawa (akan darajar aggregate) — amfani da abin da ba daidai ba yana haifar jita-jita ko sakamakon mara laifi, kuma fahimtar lokacin kowa ta aiki (WHERE na tacewa ta safu ta layuka, HAVING na tacewa ta safu ta aggregate na rukunan) yana da mahimmanci.

Sanin amfani WHERE da farko idan yiwuwa (inganci masu kyau — rage layuka kafin haɗawa) shine shawarwari mai amfani.

Haɗi zuwa **odar aiwatarwa** (WHERE kafin haɗawa, HAVING bayan) yana bayyana dalilin bambancin matsayinsu.
// tun haɗawa da tacewa aggregate sune yaduwa a halin yanzu, da tun bambancin WHERE-vs-HAVING duka mahimmanci da gaske don cikakke ƙirar da wajen duniya, mastery na `GROUP BY` da `HAVING` — haɗawa na kowane rukuni kuma tsarin tacewa-matakai biyu — ƙarewa, amfani maimako sanin dace na analytical SQL kuma jiya gina gida na tambaya na jiya.
