Count top 10 most occurring values in a column in MySQL?
To count the top 10 most occurring values in a column in MySQL, The syntax is as follows −
SELECT yourColumnName, count(*) FROM yourTableName GROUP BY yourColumnName ORDER BY count(*) DESC LIMIT 10;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table countTop10Demo -> ( -> Value int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.74 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(10); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(1100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(200); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(2100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(1100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(450); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.28 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(600); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(2100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(150); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(16454); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(450); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(2350); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(1780); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(1345); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(34); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(2100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(19034); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(1844); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(34); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec) mysql> insert into countTop10Demo values(16454); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
Now you can Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from countTop10Demo;
Here is the output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 10 | | 1100 | | 200 | | 2100 | | 1100 | | 450 | | 600 | | 2100 | | 150 | | 16454 | | 450 | | 2350 | | 1780 | | 1345 | | 34 | | 2100 | | 19034 | | 1844 | | 34 | | 16454 | +-------+ 20 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The following is the query to select top 10 most occurring values in a column in MySQL −
mysql> SELECT Value, count(*) -> FROM countTop10Demo -> GROUP BY Value -> ORDER BY count(*) DESC -> LIMIT 10;
Here is the output −
+-------+----------+ | Value | count(*) | +-------+----------+ | 2100 | 3 | | 1100 | 2 | | 34 | 2 | | 450 | 2 | | 16454 | 2 | | 1780 | 1 | | 200 | 1 | | 1345 | 1 | | 19034 | 1 | | 600 | 1 | +-------+----------+ 10 rows in set (0.00 sec)
