ORDER BY子句


ORDER BY子句的语法为:
SELECT column1, SUM(column2)
FROM "list-of-tables"
ORDER BY "column-list" [ASC | DESC];
[ ] = optional 

ORDER BY是一个可选的子句,它允许你根据指定要order by的列来以上升或者下降的顺序来显示查询的结果。例如:

ASC = Ascending Order – 这个是缺省的

DESC = Descending Order

下面举个例子:
SELECT employee_id, dept, name, age, salary
FROM employee_info
WHERE dept = 'Sales'
ORDER BY salary; 

这条SQL语句将从employee_info表中列dept等于'Sales'选择employee_id,、dept、 name、 age和 salary,并且根据他们的salary按升序的顺序来列出检索结果。

如果你想对多列排序的话,那么在列与列之间要加上逗号,比如 :
SELECT employee_id, dept, name, age, salary
FROM employee_info
WHERE dept = 'Sales'
ORDER BY salary, age DESC;
