SQL server, HAVING clause issue - sql

Question

I have to write a query for my database. The query is below.
/* Query 9 – Most Valuable Players
"Who has received at least 2 MVP awards?"
Produce a query to display the full name and number of MVP awards of any players who have been awarded the MVP in at least 2 races.
Make sure that races where no MVP was awarded are not included in the results, and order your results by the number of MVP awards in descending order.
Using your race view in this query is recommended.
Hint: Use HAVING to limit the results to players with an MVP count of at least 2.
I've tried it using this code:
CREATE VIEW playerView1
AS
select
player.id, player.firstName + ' ' + player.surname AS 'Full Name', race.mvp
from
player
JOIN
race ON player.team = race.team
GO
SELECT playerView1.[Full Name]
From playerView1
GROUP BY [Full Name]
HAVING (playerView1.mvp) >1
and also tried
SELECT
player.firstName + ' ' + player.surname AS 'Full_name', raceView.mvp AS 'MVP Number',
raceView.mvp_name AS 'MVP Name'
FROM
raceView
JOIN
player ON raceView.mvp_name = player.firstName
WHERE
raceView.mvp > 1
And no luck. Any ideas on where I've gone wrong? and possibly a fix?
One of the errors I came across using the first query was
Msg 8121, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Column 'playerView1.mvp' is invalid in the HAVING clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Below is my entire database script which include create, populate and view before been able to do the query which results in my issue.

• All of the columns in the race table
• The name of the race type, course and team involved in the race
• The full name of the player observing the race and the full name of the MVP (if applicable)
• A calculated column with an alias of “unpenalised_score”, which adds the points penalised to the final score
Creating this view requires a select statement using multiple joins and concatenation of names.
Make sure that you use the appropriate type of join to ensure that races without MVPs are still included in the results.

Answer 1

you need to use COUNT
select player.id,
player.firstName + ' ' + player.surname AS [Full Name],
COUNT(*)
from player JOIN race
ON player.team = race.team
GROUP BY id, player.firstName + ' ' + player.surname
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 2
UPDATE 1
SELECT MVP_NAME, COUNT(*) TotalMVP
FROM raceView
WHERE MVP IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY MVP_NAME
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 2
ORDER BY TotalMVP DESC;
