Selecting the top occurring entries in MySQL from a table with duplicate values?
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable610 (SubjectName varchar(100)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.63 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('Java');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MongoDB');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('Java');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MongoDB');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('C');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('C++');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MongoDB');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('Java');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('Python');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable610 values('MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable610;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | SubjectName | +-------------+ | MySQL | | Java | | MySQL | | MongoDB | | MySQL | | MySQL | | Java | | MongoDB | | C | | C++ | | MongoDB | | MySQL | | Java | | Python | | MySQL | +-------------+ 15 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to select only the top occurring entries −
mysql> select SubjectName from ( select SubjectName from DemoTable610 group by SubjectName order by count(SubjectName) DESC LIMIT 2 ) AS tbl order by SubjectName;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | SubjectName | +-------------+ | Java | | MySQL | +-------------+ 2 rows in set (0.04 sec)
