Select equal or nearest greater number from table in MySQL
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Value int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.33 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(25); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(75); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 25 | | 75 | | 100 | +-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to select equal or nearest greater number from the table −
mysql> select * from DemoTable -> order by abs(Value-50), Value desc -> limit 1;
This will produce the following output−
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 75 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
