Item9 Com2 2 25 50

Item10 Com3 4 30 120

Example:

SELECT COMPANY, COUNT(*)

FROM PRODUCT_MAST
GROUP BY COMPANY;

Output:

Com1 5
Com2 3
Com3 2

2. HAVING

HAVING clause is used to specify a search condition for a group or an aggregate.

Having is used in a GROUP BY clause. If you are not using GROUP BY clause then you can use HAVING function like a
WHERE clause.

Syntax:

SELECT column1, column2

FROM table_name
WHERE conditions
GROUP BY column1, column2
HAVING conditions
ORDER BY column1, column2;

Example:

SELECT COMPANY, COUNT(*)

FROM PRODUCT_MAST
GROUP BY COMPANY
HAVING COUNT(*)>2;

Output:

Com1 5
Com2 3

3. ORDER BY

The ORDER BY clause sorts the result-set in ascending or descending order.

It sorts the records in ascending order by default. DESC keyword is used to sort the records in descending order.

Syntax:
 SELECT column1, column2
FROM table_name
WHERE condition
ORDER BY column1, column2... ASC|DESC;

Where

ASC: It is used to sort the result set in ascending order by expression.

DESC: It sorts the result set in descending order by expression.

Example: Sorting Results in Ascending Order

Table:

CUSTOMER

CUSTOMER_ID NAME ADDRESS

12 Kathrin US

23 David Bangkok

34 Alina Dubai

45 John UK

56 Harry US

SELECT *
FROM CUSTOMER
ORDER BY NAME;

Output:

CUSTOMER_ID NAME ADDRESS

34 Alina Dubai

23 David Bangkok

56 Harry US

45 John UK

12 Kathrin US

Example: Sorting Results in Descending Order

Using the above CUSTOMER table

SELECT *
FROM CUSTOMER
ORDER BY NAME DESC;

Output:

CUSTOMER_ID NAME ADDRESS

12 Kathrin US

45 John UK

56 Harry US
