HAVING starts after ordinary rows are visible.

highlighted = computed this step

Base rows

HAVING begins with ordinary input rows before any group exists.

rows first\text{rows first}

Show the rows

The pinned input has 6 rows.

input rows=6\text{input rows}=6

HAVING examples are tiny finite group-filter transforms; SQL dialect completeness, optimizer behavior, indexing, and product claims are out of scope.
