We can specify the number of records to be returned in output by adding a LIMIT clause in MySQL query. LIMIT clause restricts the number of rows to be returned. Consider the following example −mysql> Select * from ratelist ORDER BY Price; +----+------+-------+ | Sr | Item | Price | +----+------+-------+ |  5 | T    |   250 | |  1 | A    |   502 | |  2 | B    |   630 | |  4 | h    |   850 | |  3 | C    |  1005 | +----+------+-------+ 5 rows in set ...

Actually, as we know that we can specify a sort order with the help of the ORDER BY clause. We need to write the ORDER BY keyword followed by the name of the column on which we want to sort the table. It is not necessary that we have to use that column name after the SELECT keyword in the query.Examplemysql> Select Sr, Item from ratelist ORDER BY Price; +----+------+ | Sr | Item | +----+------+ |  5 | T    | |  1 | A    | |  2 | B    | |  4 | h    | ...

We can use a subquery as a table in the FROM clause in the same way as the result of a subquery can be used with an operator in the WHERE clause. In the following example, we are using the result of subquery as a table by writing it after the FROM clause. It is mandatory to use an alias after subquery, here we are using alias ‘C_car’. To demonstrate it we are using the data as follows from table ‘Cars’ −mysql> Select * from Cars; +------+--------------+---------+ | ID   | Name         | Price   | ... Read More

To make it understand we are using the data from the following tables −mysql> Select * from customers; +-------------+----------+ | Customer_Id | Name     | +-------------+----------+ | 1           | Rahul    | | 2           | Yashpal  | | 3           | Gaurav   | | 4           | Virender | +-------------+----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> Select * from reserve; +------+------------+ | ID   | Day        | +------+------------+ | 1    | 2017-12-30 | | ...

With the help of SHOW TABLES From Database_name query, we can see the tables of another database. Here Database_name is the name of the database which we are not using currently. Consider the following example in which we run the query for getting the list of tables in database name ‘tutorial’.mysql> show tables from tutorial; +--------------------+ | Tables_in_tutorial | +--------------------+ | employee           | | showzerofill       | | student            | +--------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

The restriction on MySQL query having a notable list is that it can return, as a result, exactly one row but that result can contain multiple columns.Examplemysql> Select 65/NULL,65+NULL,65*NULL,65-NULL,65%NULL; +------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+---------+ | 65/NULL    | 65+NULL      | 65*NULL     | 65-NULL     | 65%NULL | +------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+---------+ |       NULL |         NULL |        NULL |        NULL |    NULL | +------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)In the above example, we can see that MySQL returns only one row with five columns, having the result of five expressions, as a result when we do not have any table list in the statement.

It is very rarely used to use two columns of the same table in WHERE clause but still we can perform a query with two columns of the same table. Consider the below example −mysql> Select F_name, L_name     -> From Customer     -> where F_name = L_name;     Empty set (0.00 sec)Here we are using both the columns(F_Name and L_Name) from the same table(Customer) hence the result is an Empty set.

As we know that a NULL is no value and it is not the same as zero. MySQL represents a database column as NULL if it does not contain any data. Now, if we will use NULL in any arithmetic expression then the result will be NULL also.Examplemysql> Select 65/NULL, 65+NULL, 65*NULL, 65-NULL, 65%NULL; +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 65/NULL | 65+NULL | 65*NULL | 65-NULL | 65%NULL | +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ |    NULL |    NULL |    NULL |    NULL |    NULL | +---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)From the above example, it can be observed that if we ...
