Getting rid of a Having clause

Hello

I appologize ahead of time...

this is going to be nasty...

i am pretty sure that the reason the Having is there is the way i am
creating the information in that column, but i am wondering if anyone has any
ideas of how to get rid of the having clause in this query. i was thinking
maybe i can seperate each possible result into a seperate column and put the
criteria on each, but that might just be as messy as the the figuring of the
priority is done by a formula no matter which way i do it.

anyways...

As always, any and all help appreciated!

Assuming you actually have, symbolically:

....
WHERE x
GROUP BY y
HAVING z


then, modify it to have:

....
WHERE (x) AND (z)
GROUP BY y



ie, add a pair of parenthesis around the content that you have in the WHERE
and in the HAVING clause, that does not hurt the performance, add an AND to
the modified where clause, and bring the content of the now modified having
clause and remove the key word HAVING now left without any content.
