For this, use ORDER BY along with GROUP BY clause. Let us first create a table with Student Name and Score −
mysql> create table countRowValueDemo -> ( -> StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> StudentName varchar(20), -> StudentMathScore int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.71 sec)
Following is the query to insert records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into countRowValueDemo(StudentName,StudentMathScore) values('Larry',45);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into countRowValueDemo(StudentName,StudentMathScore) values('Mike',56);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into countRowValueDemo(StudentName,StudentMathScore) values('John',60);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into countRowValueDemo(StudentName,StudentMathScore) values('David',40);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)
mysql> insert into countRowValueDemo(StudentName,StudentMathScore) values('David',70);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into countRowValueDemo(StudentName,StudentMathScore) values('John',80);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into countRowValueDemo(StudentName,StudentMathScore) values('David',88);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)Following is the query to display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from countRowValueDemo;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+-------------+------------------+ | StudentId | StudentName | StudentMathScore | +-----------+-------------+------------------+ | 1 | Larry | 45 | | 2 | Mike | 56 | | 3 | John | 60 | | 4 | David | 40 | | 5 | David | 70 | | 6 | John | 80 | | 7 | David | 88 | +-----------+-------------+------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Case 1: Descending order (Sum)
Following is the query to sum the score of students with similar name. The result will be displayed in descending order −
mysql> select StudentName, -> sum(StudentMathScore) AS TOTAL_SCORE -> from countRowValueDemo -> group by StudentName -> order by sum(StudentMathScore) desc;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+-------------+ | StudentName | TOTAL_SCORE | +-------------+-------------+ | David | 198 | | John | 140 | | Mike | 56 | | Larry | 45 | +-------------+-------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Case 2: Ascending order (Sum)
Following is the query to sum the score of students with similar names. The result will be displayed in descending order −
mysql> select StudentName, -> sum(StudentMathScore) AS TOTAL_SCORE -> from countRowValueDemo -> group by StudentName -> order by sum(StudentMathScore);
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+-------------+ | StudentName | TOTAL_SCORE | +-------------+-------------+ | Larry | 45 | | Mike | 56 | | John | 140 | | David | 198 | +-------------+-------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
