Group by 2 fields and use HAVING clause to show popular combinations

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file .

If you haven't already done so, run the script in the above folder to generate the Doctor Who database.

The tables you'll need for this exercise are as follows:

You'll need to link each episode to its author and its doctor.

Write a query to list out for each author and doctor the number of episodes made, but restrict your output to show only the author/doctor combinations for which more than 5 episodes have been written. Here's what you should see:

Here we've sorted the rows so the most common combination appears first.

You'll need to use the HAVING clause. Remember that sweaty feet will give horrible odours!

Save this as Favourite combos, then close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.

We don't normally post answers to exercises, as it removes the incentive for people to try them, but I've made an exception for this because the query is so well-written and presented!
