Order VARCHAR records with string and numbers in MySQL
For this, use ORDER BY clause. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> StudentCode varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.57 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('101J');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('100A');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('100B');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('101S');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('103M');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | StudentCode | +-------------+ | 101J | | 100A | | 100B | | 101S | | 103M | +-------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to order VARCHAR records with string and numbers−
mysql> select * from DemoTable order by StudentCode+0,StudentCode;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | StudentCode | +-------------+ | 100A | | 100B | | 101J | | 101S | | 103M | +-------------+ 5 rows in set, 5 warnings (0.00 sec)
