MySQL query to get first two highest column values from a table?
To get the first two highest columns, use ORDER BY. With that, use LIMIT 2 to get only the first 2 −
select *from yourTableName order by yourColumnName DESC LIMIT 2;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Value int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.54 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(90); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(70); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.28 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(40); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(120); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(98); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(105); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
Output
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 90 | | 70 | | 40 | | 120 | | 98 | | 105 | +-------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
