SQLite - HAVING Clause
HAVING clause enables you to specify conditions that filter which group results appear in the final results.
The WHERE clause places conditions on the selected columns, whereas the HAVING clause places conditions on groups created by GROUP BY clause.

SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1, table2
WHERE [ conditions ]
GROUP BY column1, column2
