Consider the following table and example data:

Answer 1

try it with the "having" clause!

SELECT a,
   SUM(b) FROM foo
GROUP BY a having sum(b) > 9;

Answer 2

You can't use aggregate expression in the where clause - this is what the having clause is for:

SELECT   a, SUM(b)
FROM     foo
GROUP BY a
HAVING   SUM(b) > 9
