As we know that a query consists of MySQL statements followed by a semicolon. We can enter multiple MySQL statements, separated by semicolons, on a single line. Consider the following example −
mysql> Select * from Student; Select * from Student ORDER BY Name; +--------+--------+--------+ | Name | RollNo | Grade | +--------+--------+--------+ | Gaurav | 100 | B.tech | | Aarav | 150 | M.SC | | Aryan | 165 | M.tech | +--------+--------+--------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) +--------+--------+--------+ | Name | RollNo | Grade | +--------+--------+--------+ | Aarav | 150 | M.SC | | Aryan | 165 | M.tech | | Gaurav | 100 | B.tech | +--------+--------+--------+ 3 rows in set (0.07 sec)
In the example above, two statements have been entered on a single line separated by a semicolon and we got the output in sequence.
