create table friend(id int,fid int)
insert into friend(id,fid)values(1,2)
insert into friend(id,fid)values(1,3)
insert into friend(id,fid)values(1,5)
insert into friend(id,fid)values(2,3)
insert into friend(id,fid)values(1,4)

Asnswer : -

select id,count(fid) as numberOfFemaleFriend from friend where fid in(select id from person where gender='f')
and id in (select id from person where gender='m' )
group by id having count(fid) >2

OR You can use Inner Join


select f.id,p.pname,count(f.fid) as numberOfFemaleFriend
from person p
inner join friend f
on p.id=f.id and p.gender='m' and f.fid in
(select id from person where gender='f')
group by f.id,p.pname having(count(f.fid)>2)

Answer / manub22

- GROUP BY clause works on the rows returned by a SELECT Query. This clause summaries identical rows into a single/distinct group and returns a single row with the summary for each group, by using appropriate Aggregate function in the SELECT list, like COUNT(), SUM(), MIN(), MAX(), AVG(), etc.

- HAVING clause works as a Filter on top of the Grouped rows returned by the Query containing the GROUP BY clause. This clause cannot be replaced by a WHERE clause and vice-versa.
