MySQL query to find the top two highest scores
For this, use aggregate function MAX(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1383 -> ( -> Id int, -> PlayerScore int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.90 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1383 values(200,78); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1383 values(200,89); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1383 values(200,89); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1383 values(200,87); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.29 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1383 values(203,97); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1383 values(200,57); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1383;
This will produce the following output −
+------+-------------+ | Id | PlayerScore | +------+-------------+ | 200 | 78 | | 200 | 89 | | 200 | 89 | | 200 | 87 | | 203 | 97 | | 200 | 57 | +------+-------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to find highest score and display distinct value −
mysql> select Id,max(PlayerScore) from DemoTable1383 group by Id order by max(PlayerScore) DESC;
This will produce the following output −
+------+------------------+ | Id | max(PlayerScore) | +------+------------------+ | 203 | 97 | | 200 | 89 | +------+------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
