我们知道从MySQL表中使用SQL SELECT 语句来读取数据。
如果我们需要对读取的数据进行排序,我们就可以使用MySQL的 ORDER BY 子句来设定你想按哪个字段哪中方式来进行排序,再返回搜索结果。
以下是SQL SELECT 语句使用 ORDER BY 子句将查询数据排序后再返回数据:
SELECT field1, field2,...fieldN table_name1, table_name2... ORDER BY field1, [field2...] [ASC [DESC]]
以下将在 SQL SELECT 语句中使用 ORDER BY 子句来读取MySQL 数据表 tutorials_tbl 中的数据:
尝试以下实例,结果将按升序排列
root@host# mysql -u root -p password; Enter password:******* mysql> use TUTORIALS; Database changed mysql> SELECT * from tutorials_tbl ORDER BY tutorial_author ASC +-------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+ | tutorial_id | tutorial_title | tutorial_author | submission_date | +-------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+ | 2 | Learn MySQL | Abdul S | 2007-05-24 | | 1 | Learn PHP | John Poul | 2007-05-24 | | 3 | JAVA Tutorial | Sanjay | 2007-05-06 | +-------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.42 sec) mysql>
读取 tutorials_tbl 表中所有数据并按 tutorial_author 字段的升序排列。
尝试以下实例,查询后的数据按 tutorial_author 字段的降序排列后返回。
<?php $dbhost = ‘localhost:3036‘; $dbuser = ‘root‘; $dbpass = ‘rootpassword‘; $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass); if(! $conn ) { die(‘Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error()); } $sql = ‘SELECT tutorial_id, tutorial_title, tutorial_author, submission_date FROM tutorials_tbl ORDER BY tutorial_author DESC‘; mysql_select_db(‘TUTORIALS‘); $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn ); if(! $retval ) { die(‘Could not get data: ‘ . mysql_error()); } while($row = mysql_fetch_array($retval, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo "Tutorial ID :{$row[‘tutorial_id‘]} <br> ". "Title: {$row[‘tutorial_title‘]} <br> ". "Author: {$row[‘tutorial_author‘]} <br> ". "Submission Date : {$row[‘submission_date‘]} <br> ". "--------------------------------<br>"; } echo "Fetched data successfully\n"; mysql_close($conn); ?>
