To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) True - This option is correct. In a SQL SELECT statement with a GROUP BY clause, the WHERE clause is applied before the HAVING clause. The WHERE clause filters the rows before they are grouped, while the HAVING clause filters the aggregated groups after they have been formed.
Option B) False - This option is incorrect. The WHERE clause is applied before the HAVING clause in a SQL SELECT statement with a GROUP BY clause.
The correct answer is A) True. This option is correct because the WHERE conditions are applied before the HAVING conditions in a SELECT statement with a GROUP BY clause.
