“SELECT” command:

The “SELECT” command is used to retrieve data in a database.

Syntax for selecting values from the table is as follows:

SELECT STUDENT_ID FROM STUDENT;

  • The given query is used to display each student ID from “STUDENT” table.

“IN” Clause:

  • The “IN” clause consists of an “IN” operator followed by a set of values.
  • Using an “IN” clause, user can determine whether a column contains one of a particular group of values.

Example:

The example for “IN” clause is given below:

SELECT STUDENT_ID, STUDENT_NAME, STUDENT_CREDIT FROM STUDENT WHERE STUDENT_CREDIT IN(50, 70, 100);

 The above query is used to list student ID, name, and credit for each student with a credit limit of “50”, “70” or “100”.

  • From the given query, user can determine whether a student credit limit is “50”, “70” or “100” using an “IN” operator.

“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 indicate 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;

 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”.

“DESC” Operator:

  • User can sort the data in descending order using a “DESC” operator.
  • To sort in descending order, user follows the name of the sort key with the “DESC” operator.

Example:

The example for “DESC” operator is given below:

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

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

  • From the given query, the sort key is “STUDENT_CREDIT”.
