Certain versions of SQL (e.g. MySQL) allow the use of aliases in the HAVING clause, while other versions (e.g. SQL Server) do not. In any case, just repeating the aggregate expression in the HAVING clause should work:



SELECT city, AVG(usd_spent) AS avg_spent
FROM travel_spending
GROUP BY city
HAVING AVG(usd_spent) > 90;
