hope someone can help me with this issue.
I have a table with two columns, and i want to select items from that table and order them depending on which of these two values is higher.
lets say i have columns 'x' and 'y' and i have these entries:
x ; y
1.- 10 ; 12
2.- 5 ; 10
3.- 11 ; 20
i want the response to be ordered: 3, 1, 2
i know this wont help, since it has no sence in the mysql, but is a representation of my idea
$query = (mysql_query("SELECT * FROM productos ORDER BY MAX(x, y)"));
i dont want to create a new variable in the table for this query.
Any idea? thanks a lot
You want to sort it after x or y, depending which is higher?
SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY GREATEST(x, y)
But in your case this is 3, 2, 1 because 15(y) is higher than -5(x) and also higher than the greatest in row 1. So I am a bit confused.
Supporting NULLs and correct order:
SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY GREATEST(COALESCE(x, 0), COALESCE(y, 0)) DESC
If you need other value as default than 0 just replace it.
Select
*
from
products
order by
Case when x>y then x else y end DESC
SELECT *
FROM products
ORDER BY GREATEST(x,y) DESC
, LEAST(x,y) DESC
The second part of the ordering (LEAST) is to put a row with (12,20) before a row with (10,20).
Since the two fields can have NULL:
SELECT *
FROM products
ORDER BY GREATEST( COALESCE(x,0), COALESCE(y,0) ) DESC
, LEAST( COALESCE(x,0), COALESCE(y,0) ) DESC ;

I'm sorry I'm weak for English.
i echo 2 row in each page . how echo next 2 row
SELECT *
FROM `mzmx_post`
JOIN mzmx_post_category
WHERE mzmx_post.id = mzmx_post_category.post_id AND zmx_post_category.category_id = 5
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 2
You can use the two-arguments form of LIMIT to offset the result by a given number of rows, like:
SELECT *
FROM `mzmx_post`
JOIN mzmx_post_category ON mzmx_post.id = mzmx_post_category.post_id
WHERE mzmx_post_category.category_id = 5
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 2, 2 -- fetch records 3 and 4
This gives you the second page. If you want the third page, then:
LIMIT 4, 2
And so on.
Note that I modified your query so the joining condition between the tables is placed in the ON clause of the join rather than in the WHERE clause.
Better add one extra column (e.g. mzmx_post_key bigint) of Long type in each table and have sequential value on that column. Use that column to fetch data from DB from page wise.
sqL suery should look like:
SELECT *
FROM `mzmx_post`
JOIN mzmx_post_category ON mzmx_post.id = mzmx_post_category.post_id
WHERE mzmx_post_category.category_id = 5 and mzmx_post_key> ##last record key##
ORDER BY mzmx_post_key ASC
LIMIT 2
The basic idea is to use
LIMIT n,o
where n is the results per page
o is the offset from the first result
for the p-th page the offset would be
o = p * n
where p = 0,1,2,....

I have this query with MySQL:
select * from table1 LIMIT 10,20
How can I do this with SQL Server?
Starting SQL SERVER 2005, you can do this...
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
WITH OrderedOrders AS
(
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS 'RowNumber'
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
)
SELECT *
FROM OrderedOrders
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 10 AND 20;
or something like this for 2000 and below versions...
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM (SELECT TOP 20 FROM Table ORDER BY Id) ORDER BY Id DESC
Starting with SQL SERVER 2012, you can use the OFFSET FETCH Clause:
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
ORDER BY SalesOrderID
OFFSET 10 ROWS
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY;
GO
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188385(v=sql.110).aspx
This may not work correctly when the order by is not unique.
If the query is modified to ORDER BY OrderDate, the result set returned is not as expected.
This is how I limit the results in MS SQL Server 2012:
SELECT *
FROM table1
ORDER BY columnName
OFFSET 10 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY
NOTE: OFFSET can only be used with or in tandem to ORDER BY.
To explain the code line OFFSET xx ROWS FETCH NEXT yy ROW ONLY
The xx is the record/row number you want to start pulling from in the table, i.e: If there are 40 records in table 1, the code above will start pulling from row 10.
The yy is the number of records/rows you want to pull from the table.
To build on the previous example: If table 1 has 40 records and you began pulling from row 10 and grab the NEXT set of 10 (yy).
That would mean, the code above will pull the records from table 1 starting at row 10 and ending at 20. Thus pulling rows 10 - 20.

This is almost a duplicate of a question I asked in October:
Emulate MySQL LIMIT clause in Microsoft SQL Server 2000
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, there is no good solution. Most people have to resort to capturing the result of the query in a temporary table with a IDENTITY primary key. Then query against the primary key column using a BETWEEN condition.
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later, you have a ROW_NUMBER() function, so you can get the same result but avoid the temporary table.
SELECT t1.*
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER OVER(ORDER BY id) AS row, t1.*
FROM ( ...original SQL query... ) t1
) t2
WHERE t2.row BETWEEN #offset+1 AND #offset+#count;
You can also write this as a common table expression as shown in #Leon Tayson's answer.
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT TOP 20
t.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY field1) AS rn
FROM table1 t
ORDER BY
field1
) t
WHERE rn > 10
Syntactically MySQL LIMIT query is something like this:
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT OFFSET, ROW_COUNT
This can be translated into Microsoft SQL Server like
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT TOP #{OFFSET+ROW_COUNT} *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS rnum
FROM table
) a
WHERE rnum > OFFSET
Now your query select * from table1 LIMIT 10,20 will be like this:
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT TOP 30 *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS rnum
FROM table1
) a
WHERE rnum > 10
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM table;
Is the same as
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 0,10;
Here's an article about implementing Limit in MsSQL Its a nice read, specially the comments.
This is one of the reasons I try to avoid using MS Server... but anyway. Sometimes you just don't have an option (yei! and I have to use an outdated version!!).
My suggestion is to create a virtual table:
From:
SELECT * FROM table
To:
CREATE VIEW v_table AS
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY table_key) AS row,* FROM table
Then just query:
SELECT * FROM v_table WHERE row BETWEEN 10 AND 20
If fields are added, or removed, "row" is updated automatically.
The main problem with this option is that ORDER BY is fixed. So if you want a different order, you would have to create another view.
UPDATE
There is another problem with this approach: if you try to filter your data, it won't work as expected. For example, if you do:
SELECT * FROM v_table WHERE field = 'test' AND row BETWEEN 10 AND 20
WHERE becomes limited to those data which are in the rows between 10 and 20 (instead of searching the whole dataset and limiting the output).
In SQL there's no LIMIT keyword exists. If you only need a limited number of rows you should use a TOP keyword which is similar to a LIMIT.
Must try. In below query, you can see group by, order by, Skip rows, and limit rows.
select emp_no , sum(salary_amount) from emp_salary
Group by emp_no
ORDER BY emp_no
OFFSET 5 ROWS -- Skip first 5
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY; -- limit to retrieve next 10 row after skiping rows
Easy way
MYSQL:
SELECT 'filds' FROM 'table' WHERE 'where' LIMIT 'offset','per_page'
MSSQL:
SELECT 'filds' FROM 'table' WHERE 'where' ORDER BY 'any' OFFSET 'offset'
ROWS FETCH NEXT 'per_page' ROWS ONLY
ORDER BY is mandatory
This is a multi step approach that will work in SQL2000.
-- Create a temp table to hold the data
CREATE TABLE #foo(rowID int identity(1, 1), myOtherColumns)
INSERT INTO #foo (myColumns) SELECT myData order By MyCriteria
Select * FROM #foo where rowID > 10
SELECT
*
FROM
(
SELECT
top 20 -- ($a) number of records to show
*
FROM
(
SELECT
top 29 -- ($b) last record position
*
FROM
table -- replace this for table name (i.e. "Customer")
ORDER BY
2 ASC
) AS tbl1
ORDER BY
2 DESC
) AS tbl2
ORDER BY
2 ASC;
-- Examples:
-- Show 5 records from position 5:
-- $a = 5;
-- $b = (5 + 5) - 1
-- $b = 9;
-- Show 10 records from position 4:
-- $a = 10;
-- $b = (10 + 4) - 1
-- $b = 13;
-- To calculate $b:
-- $b = ($a + position) - 1
-- For the present exercise we need to:
-- Show 20 records from position 10:
-- $a = 20;
-- $b = (20 + 10) - 1
-- $b = 29;
If your ID is unique identifier type or your id in table is not sorted you must do like this below.
select * from
(select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (select 0)) AS RowNumber,* from table1) a
where a.RowNumber between 2 and 5
The code will be
select * from limit 2,5
better use this in MSSQLExpress 2017.
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) as [Count], * FROM table1
) as a
WHERE [Count] BETWEEN 10 and 20;
--Giving a Column [Count] and assigning every row a unique counting without ordering something then re select again where you can provide your limits.. :)
One of the possible way to get result as below , hope this will help.
declare #start int
declare #end int
SET #start = '5000'; -- 0 , 5000 ,
SET #end = '10000'; -- 5001, 10001
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT TABLE_NAME,TABLE_TYPE, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY TABLE_NAME) as row FROM information_schema.tables
) a WHERE a.row > #start and a.row <= #end
If i remember correctly (it's been a while since i dabbed with SQL Server) you may be able to use something like this: (2005 and up)
SELECT
*
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY SomeFields) AS [RowNum]
FROM SomeTable
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN 10 AND 20
i have a MySql table that consists of 2 basic things:
The id and a value.
To show that on my page, i need to select, for example, the last 100 rows on reversed order.
So imagine that someone is putting data on it:
Id, value
1, 10
2, 9
3, 21
4, 15
i need, to select the last "3" rows (LIMIT + ORDER Clause), but not like this: 4,3,2 but like this: 2,3,4.
I know how to do that on code, but maybe there is a simple solution for that on Mysql and i don`t know.
Thanks
My SQL Query is like this right now:
SELECT `Data`.`id`, `Data`.`log_id`, `Data`.`value`, `Data`.`created` FROM `control_panel`.`datas` AS `Data` WHERE `Data`.`id` > 1000 AND `Data`.`log_id` = (2) ORDER BY `Data`.`id` DESC LIMIT 100
You need to wrap the first ORDER BY in a subselect which will return a limited selection ordered in descending order, then you can order that result in the outer query in ascending order:
SELECT
a.*
FROM
(
SELECT id, value
FROM tbl
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 3
) a
ORDER BY
a.id
One way to do this would be with a sub-select.
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3) tmp
ORDER BY id ASC
simply
SELECT t.*
(SELECT * FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name DESC
LIMIT 0,3) t
ORDER BY t.column_name ASC
use DESC to descending order, ASC to increasing order
with this code I select the first 30 row of the table:
SELECT * FROM `table` LIMIT 0 , 30
But how to select the last 30, without changing the order?
It looks like everyone is missing this part:
But how to select the last 30, without changing the order?
First of all, clearly there is no order in the query provided. Assuming the order is ascending on some field this would be the query #DannyFox meant:
SELECT * FROM T
ORDER BY val
LIMIT 0 , 30
Now imagine we have simplified data, such as a, b, c, d, e and that we want only 3 rows instead of 30:
SELECT * FROM T
ORDER BY val
LIMIT 3
If this returns: a, b, c, d, e in each row, then he would expect to get c, d, e in that order. The query everyone is providing:
SELECT * FROM T
ORDER BY val desc
LIMIT 3
Would return e, d, c. The problem with this is that it's actually changing the original order, and the OP say he didn't want to change the order. So technically, the query that would result in c, d, e is:
select * from (
select * from t
order by val desc
limit 3
) s
order by val
Which actually changes the order twice, getting the original order back.
Since you are trying to avoid ordering, then the solution would be to apply it twice.
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *
FROM `table_name`
ORDER BY `column_name` DESC -- maybe id?
LIMIT 0, 30
) `table_aliase`
ORDER BY `column_name` ASC
First you need to specify an order:
SELECT * FROM table
ORDER BY some_id ASC -- ascending order
LIMIT 30
If that query returns the first 30 columns, this one will return the last 30:
SELECT * FROM table
ORDER BY some_id DESC -- descending order
LIMIT 30
If you have an auto incremental key/column, say id then here's an example
SELECT * FROM `table` ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0 , 30;
Maybe this will work: select * from table WHERE id > ((SELECT MAX(id) from table) - 30);
Nothing is said about an order, so you can not use ORDER BY.
There is a way to get records from a given point, but for that you need to know how many records there are, then use this counted value to provide the limits
SELECT COUNT(*) AS counted FROM table
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT (counted-30),30
Here's my method used with PHP:
$query = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3";
$res = mysql_query($query);
$results = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)){
$results = $row[field];
}
// Back to original order based from DB
$results = array_reverse(results);
Say i have a table Guest and it has column g_id : values 1 to 10.
Now i want the query to return me the g_id's neither in ascending order nor in descending..
but i want the 4th then 3rd and then 5th entry, in this particular order.
Also i want just the 4th 3rd and 5th entry.
say my entries have an id and a name . ;i.e. my table Guest has these two tables.
Now my table is as following.
1 A
2 B
3 C
4 D
5 E
6 F
7 G
8 H
9 I
10 J
Now i want just the entry with 4th 3rd and 5th g_id, and in this particular order.
How do i write the SQL query?
Thanks.
Select * from Guest ___________???
Kindly fill in the gaps.
You can use a CASE statement in your ORDER BY to use a fake column to sort on and a WHERE IN clause to only return the values you need.
SELECT *
FROM Guest
WHERE g_id IN (3, 4, 5)
ORDER BY
CASE WHEN g_id = 4 THEN 1
WHEN g_id = 3 THEN 2
WHEN g_id = 5 THEN 3
END
What is the order that deteremines whether something is 4th, 3rd or 5th? Without an ORDER BY clause, the data is returned in an indeterminate order by SQL. You cannot rely on the order that rows are entered or stored in the database table itself.
You can hard-code what you are asking like this:
select *
from Guest
order by case
when g_id = 4 then 1
when g_id = 3 then 2
when g_id = 5 then 3
else 4
end
One solution is the case statement:
select g_id from (
select g_id, case g_id
when 4 then 1
when 3 then 2
when 5 then 3
else 0
end virtcol
where virtcol != 0
order by virtcol
);
I'm not sure how set your ordering will be, but you can order by specifics:
ORDER BY
g_id = 4 DESC,
g_id = 3 DESC,
g_id = 5 DESC
You may be better off selecting the entries as they are and doing something like this in your php code:
$order = array('4 ', '3 ', '5 ');
$data = array();
while ($row = $result->fetch()) {
$data["$row->g_id "] = $row;
}
$data = array_merge(array_flip($order), $data);
I think that the answer mostly depends on the DBMS you are working on.
In Oracle the query below, even though inefficient, should work
select * from
(select * , rownum as order from guest order by id asc ) b
where b.order = 4
UNION
select * from
(select * , rownum as order from guest order by id asc ) b
where b.order = 3
UNION
select * from
(select * , rownum as order from guest order by id asc ) b
where b.order = 5
Not sure if something of more efficient is possible with a simple query,
i would use the monster above only and only if the table you are querying is very small.
You also have another option if the table is big and you have to extract only the first rows. In the case you described, I would retrieve the first 5 rows and then programmatically I would extract the rows in position 4,3,5.
you can extract the first 5 rows with this query in oracle
select * from guest order by id asc where rownum < 6
This query will get you the 3rd, 5th, and 4th items (limit 2, 1 means "retrieve starting with 3rd item, with total number retrieved = 1 records)
(select g_id from Guest limit 2,1)
UNION (select g_id from Guest limit 4,1
UNION (select g_id from Guest limit 3,1)
