count statement

[bsder]

Hi,

If I want to select a result that based on the value of count (eg.
count(*) > 5), how can I write a sql to do that?

eg.
select count(*)>5
from Flight
where OperationType = "Departure"
group by Airline, Runway
order by Date

Thanks
D

select *

group by Airline, Runway

HAVING count(*)>5

I don't believe it's possible in one query, but I can't guarantee.

I do it in two queries :
select <primarykey>, count(airline) as cnt_airline into temporary table
FLIGHT_GREATER5
from Flight
where OperationType = "Departure"
group by Airline, Runway
HAVING cnt_airline > 5;

select Flight.*
from Flight, FLIGHT_GREATER5
where Flight.<primarykey> = FLIGHT_GREATER5.<primarykey>;
