Solution 1

This would work for you, in Oracle.

SQL

SELECT * -- Finally select the records
FROM table_name -- Table
WHERE column_name > (SELECT AVG(column_name) FROM table_name) -- Condition

You need to select a value to compare against, select the average value and then compare against the column you want to get. For more using AVG() function in Oracle SQL, read this Stack Overflow thread[^].

Would work in Oracle but also in majority of SQL databases :)

Nice answer, +5.
