+-----------------+---------------------------+
| Author_idAuthor | Publication_idPublication |
+-----------------+---------------------------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |

I want to obtain the list of all authors having published at least 2 times at conference DPC in 2010.
I achieved to get the list of autors that have published something, and the number of publication for each, but I can't get my 'at least 2' factor.
My following query
SELECT author.name, COUNT(name) FROM author INNER JOIN author_has_publication ON author.idAuthor=author_has_publication.Author_idAuthor INNER JOIN publication ON author_has_publication.Publication_idPublication=publication.idPublication AND publication.date=2010 AND publication.conference='DPC'GROUP BY author.name;
returns the following result (which is good)
+-------+-------------+
| name | COUNT(name) |
+-------+-------------+
| Bob | 2 |
| Bryan | 3 |
| John | 1 |
+-------+-------------+
but when I try to select only the one with a count(name)>=2, i got an error.
I tried this query :
SELECT author.name, COUNT(name) FROM author INNER JOIN author_has_publication ON author.idAuthor=author_has_publication.Author_idAuthor INNER JOIN publication ON author_has_publication.Publication_idPublication=publication.idPublication AND publication.date=2010 AND publication.conference='DPC'GROUP BY author.name WHERE COUNT(name)>=2;

Answer 1

When you use aggregation funcion you can filter with a proper operator named HAVING
Having worok on the result of the query (then pn the aggrgated result like count() ) instead of where that work on the original value of the tables rows
SELECT author.name, COUNT(name)
FROM author INNER JOIN author_has_publication
ON author.idAuthor=author_has_publication.Author_idAuthor
INNER JOIN publication
ON author_has_publication.Publication_idPublication=publication.idPublication
AND publication.date=2010 AND publication.conference='DPC'
GROUP BY author.name
HAVING COUNT(name)>=2;
