How can we sort MySQL output in ascending order?
We need to specify ASC (short form for ASCENDING) keyword in ORDER BY clause if we want to sort out the result set in ascending order.SyntaxSelect column1, column2,…,columN From table_name ORDER BY column1[column2,…] ASC;ExampleIn the following example, we have sorted the result set by column ‘Name’ in the ascending order.mysql> Select * from Student ORDER BY Name ASC; +------+---------+---------+-----------+ | Id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+---------+---------+-----------+ | 2 | Aarav | Mumbai | History | | 1 | Gaurav | Delhi | Computers | | 15 | Harshit | Delhi | Commerce | | 17 | Raman | Shimla | Computers | +------+---------+---------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

We can specify multiple columns in ORDER BY clause to get the sorted output based on those multiple columns. Following as an example to make this concept clearer −mysql> Select * from Student ORDER BY Name, Address; +------+---------+---------+-----------+ | Id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+---------+---------+-----------+ | 2 | Aarav | Mumbai | History | | 1 | Gaurav | Delhi | Computers | | 15 | Harshit | Delhi | Commerce | | 17 | Raman | Shimla | Computers | +------+---------+---------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.12 sec)

Followings are the ways in which we can write a query that returns only records that matches multiple conditions on the same columnBy using ‘OR’ logical operatorAs we know that MySQL ‘OR’ operator compares two expressions and returns TRUE if either of the expression is TRUE. Following example demonstrate that how we can use ‘OR’ operator for multiple conditions on the same columnmysql> Select * from Student WHERE Name = 'Gaurav' OR Name = 'Aarav'; +------+--------+---------+-----------+ | Id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+--------+---------+-----------+ | 1 | Gaurav | Delhi | Computers ...
Read MoreWhy is it not good practice to use date values with two-digits years in MySQL?
As we know that, YEAR(2) stores a year in 2-digit format. For example, we can write 69 to store 1969 as a year. In YEAR (2), the year can be specified from 1970 to 2069 (70 to 69).MySQL interprets 2-digit year values with the help of following rules −Year values in the range 00-69 are converted to 2000-2069. Year values in the range 70-99 are converted to 1970-1999.We must not store date values as a 2-digit format because values stored in this format becomes vague as the century is unknown.It can be understood more clearly with the help of following ...
Read MoreHow can we fetch a particular row as output from a MySQL table?
For fetching a particular row as output, we need to use WHERE clause in the SELECT statement. It is because MySQL returns the row based on the condition parameter given by us after WHERE clause.ExampleSuppose we want to fetch a row which contains the name ‘Aarav’ from student table then it can be done with the help of the following query −mysql> Select * from Student WHERE Name = 'Aarav'; +------+-------+---------+---------+ | Id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+-------+---------+---------+ | 2 | Aarav | Mumbai | History | +------+-------+---------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreHow can we use WHERE clause with MySQL INSERT INTO command?
We can use conditional insert i.e. WHERE clause with INSERT INTO command in the case of new row insertion. It can be done with following ways −With the help of dummy tableIn this case, we insert the value from dummy table along with some conditions. The syntax can be as follows −INSERT INTO table_name(column1, column2, column3, …) Select value1, value2, value3, … From dual WHERE [conditional predicate];Examplemysql> Create table testing(id int, item_name varchar(10)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.15 sec) mysql> Insert into testing (id, item_name)Select 1, 'Book' From Dual Where 1=1; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) ...
