Program Plan Intro

“ORDER BY” Clause:

  • User can sort the data in specific order using “ORDER BY” clause.
  • The column on which to sort data is called a sort key or a simple key.
  • To sort the output, use an “ORDER BY” clause followed by the sort key.
  • If the user does not specify a sort order, the output displayed in default order that is ascending order.

Example:

The example for “ORDER BY” clause is given below:

SELECT STUDENT_ID, STUDENT_NAME, STUDENT_CREDIT FROM STUDENT ORDER BY STUDENT_CREDIT;

Explanation:

The above query is used to list student ID, name and credit for each student with ascending order of student credit using an “ORDER BY” clause.

  • From the given query, the sort key is “STUDENT_CREDIT”. So, the rows are sorted in ascending order by “STUDENT_CREDIT”.

Explanation of Solution

Most important key:

  • The more important column is called the most important key.
  • It is also called as the major sort key or the primary sort key.

Example:

The example for most important key is given below:

SELECT STUDENT_ID, STUDENT_NAME, STUDENT_CREDIT FROM STUDENT ORDER B...

Explanation of Solution

Less important key:

  • The less important column is called the most important key.
  • It is also called as the minor sort key or the secondary sort key.

Example:

The example for less important key is given below:

SELECT STUDENT_ID, STUDENT_NAME, STUDENT_CREDIT FROM STUDENT ORDER...

1. Create a Person.java file. Implement the public Person and Student classes in Person.java, including all the variables and methods in the UMLS. Person -name: String -street: String -city: String +Person(String name, String, street, String, city) +getName(): String +setName(String name): void +getStreet(): String +setStreet(String street): void +getCity(): String +setCity(String City): void +toString(): String Student -Id: int +Person(String name, String, street, String, city, int Id) +getId(): int +setId(int Id): void +toString(): String 2. Create a StudentTest.java file. Implement a public StudentTest class with a main method. In the main method, create one student object and print the object using System.out.println(). Your printing result must follow the example output: name: Mike, street: Morris Ave, city: Union, Id: 1000 Hint: You need to modify the toString methods in the Student class and Person class!
