Not that this means much, but I'll mention it for the sake of
completeness: SQLite 3.0.8 disallows all of the above SELECT
statements:

sqlite> create table tab (col integer);
sqlite> select 1 from tab having 1=0;
SQL error: a GROUP BY clause is required before HAVING
sqlite> select 1 from tab having 1=1;
SQL error: a GROUP BY clause is required before HAVING
sqlite> insert into tab values(1);
sqlite> insert into tab values(2);
sqlite> select 1 from tab having 1=0;  
SQL error: a GROUP BY clause is required before HAVING
sqlite> select 1 from tab having 1=1;
SQL error: a GROUP BY clause is required before HAVING
