I have a query that looks like:
SELECT SUM(bytes) AS traffic
FROM traffic_table
GROUP BY ip;
I want to narrow that SELECT down to a subset, like:
SELECT SUM(bytes) AS traffic
FROM traffic_table
WHERE traffic < ( 100 * 1024 * 1024 )
GROUP BY ip;
which, of course, won't work, cause I need to do the GROUP BY before I do
the WHERE ... but there has to be a way of coding that so that it does
work :(
I'm overlooking something obvious here ... I think?
Thanks ...

Isn't that what the having clause is about?

HI!
Try this
select c.traffic from
(select sum(bytes) as traffic
from traffic_table
group by ip) c where c.traffic<(100*1024*1024);
