MySQL query to sort column values and ignoring quotes on one of the values
To ignore quotes while ordering column values, use ORDER BY TRIM().
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable784 ( Message varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.50 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable784 values('Good');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable784 values('\"This is not a Message\"');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable784 values('Bye');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable784 values('Hello');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable784;
This will produce the following output -
+-------------------------+ | Message | +-------------------------+ | Good | | "This is not a Message" | | Bye | | Hello | +-------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to sort column values ignoring quotes −
mysql> select *from DemoTable784 order by trim(both '"' from Message);
This will produce the following output -
+-------------------------+ | Message | +-------------------------+ | Bye | | Good | | Hello | | "This is not a Message" | +-------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
