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。
本章节使用的数据库结构及数据下载:web3.sql。
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 web3_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 RUNOOB; Database changed mysql> SELECT * from web3_tbl ORDER BY web3_author ASC; +-----------+---------------+---------------+-----------------+ | web3_id | web3_title | web3_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 (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT * from web3_tbl ORDER BY web3_author DESC; +-----------+---------------+---------------+-----------------+ | web3_id | web3_title | web3_author | submission_date | +-----------+---------------+---------------+-----------------+ | 3 | JAVA Tutorial | Sanjay | 2007-05-06 | | 1 | Learn PHP | John Poul | 2007-05-24 | | 2 | Learn MySQL | Abdul S | 2007-05-24 | +-----------+---------------+---------------+-----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql>读取 web3_tbl 表中所有数据并按 web3_author 字段的升序排列。
尝试以下实例,查询后的数据按 web3_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 web3_id, web3_title, web3_author, submission_date FROM web3_tbl ORDER BY web3_author DESC'; mysql_select_db('RUNOOB'); $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['web3_id']} <br> ". "Title: {$row['web3_title']} <br> ". "Author: {$row['web3_author']} <br> ". "Submission Date : {$row['submission_date']} <br> ". "--------------------------------<br>"; } echo "Fetched data successfully\n"; mysql_close($conn); ?>
