DISTINCT Keyword:

“DISTINCT” keyword is used to avoid redundant data (removing duplicate values) from a column. The syntax for “DISTINCT” keyword is as follows:

SELECT DISTINCT column_Name FROM table_Name;

ORDER BY Clause:

SQL contains “ORDER BY” clause in order to sort rows. The values get sorted in ascending as well as descending order. The keyword used to sort values in ascending order is “ASC” and for descending order is “DESC”. By default, it sorts values by ascending order.

Syntax:

SELECT column_Name1, column_Name2 FROM table_Name ORDER BY column_Name2;
