You can use ORDER BY for this. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Value int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(20); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(8); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(18); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(11); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(9); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(19); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(6); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(7); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 20 | | 8 | | 18 | | 11 | | 9 | | 19 | | 6 | | 7 | +-------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to display first selected row in MySQL −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by (Value=9) DESC,Value DESC;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 9 | | 20 | | 19 | | 18 | | 11 | | 8 | | 7 | | 6 | +-------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
