How to display only the column values whose sum is less than 150 in MySQL? Arrange the result in descending order


For this, you can use subquery. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable844(
   Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   Amount int
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.95 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable844(Amount) values(80);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable844(Amount) values(100);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable844(Amount) values(60);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable844(Amount) values(40);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.36 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable844(Amount) values(150);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable844(Amount) values(24);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.40 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement. Following is the query −

mysql> select *from DemoTable844;

This will produce the following output −

+----+--------+
| Id | Amount |
+----+--------+
|  1 | 80     |
|  2 | 100    |
|  3 | 60     |
|  4 | 40     |
|  5 | 150    |
|  6 | 24     |
+----+--------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

How to display only the column values whose sum is less than 150 in MySQL

mysql> select *from DemoTable844 tbl
   where (select sum(Amount) from DemoTable844 where Amount <= tbl.Amount order by Amount) < 150
order by Id;

This will produce the following output −

+----+--------+
| Id | Amount |
+----+--------+
|  3 |     60 |
|  4 |     40 |
|  6 |     24 |
+----+--------+
3 rows in set (0.26 sec)
