What Is MySQL and Why It Is the Worlds Most

Popular Open Source Database
Summary: this tutorialhelps you answer the question: what is MySQL? And give you the reasonswhy
MySQL is the worlds most popular open source database.
To understand MySQL, you need to understand database and SQL first. If you already know database
and SQL, you can jump to the What is MySQL section.
Introduction to database
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/what-is-mysql/[24/01/2017 9:22:14]
You deal with data every day

When you want to listen to your favorite songs, you open your playlist from your smartphone. In this case,
the playlist is a database.
When you take a photo and upload it to your account in a social network like Facebook, your photo
gallery is a database.
When you browse an e-commerce website to buy shoes, clothes, etc., you use the shopping cart
database.
Databases are everywhere. So what is a database? By definition, a database is simply a structured
collection of data.
The data relates to each other by nature e.g., a product belongs to a product category and associated
with multiple tags. This is why we use the term relational database.
In the relational database, we model data like products, categories, tags, etc., using tables. A table
contains columns and rows. It is like a spreadsheet.
A table may relate to anther table using a relationship e.g., one-to-one, one-to-many relationship etc.
Because we deal with a large amount of data, we need a way to define the databases, tables, etc., and
process data more effectively. In addition, we want to turn the data into information
And this is where SQL comes to play.
SQL the language of database

SQL stands for structured query language.
SQL is the standardized language used to access the database.
ANSI/SQL defines the SQL standard. The current version of SQL is SQL:2003. Whenever we refer to
the SQL standard, we mean the current SQL version.
SQL contains three parts:
1. Data definition language contains statements that help you define the database and its objects e.g.,
tables, views, triggers, stored procedures, etc.

2. Data manipulation language contains statements that allow you to update and query data.
3. Data control language allows you to grant the permissions to a user to access a certain data in the
database.
Now, you understand database and SQL, and its time to answer the next question
What is MySQL
MySQL? What?
My is the daughters name of the MySQLs co-founder, Monty Widenius.
The name of MySQL is the combination of My and SQL, MySQL.
MySQL is a database management system that allows you to manage relational databases. It is open
source software backed by Oracle. It means you can use MySQL without paying a dime. In addition, if
you want, you can change its source code to suit your needs.
Even though MySQL is open source software, you can buy a commercial license version from Oracle to
get a premium support services.
MySQL is pretty easy to master in comparison with other database software like Oracle Database, or
Microsoft SQL Server.
MySQL can run on various platforms UNIX, Linux, Windows, etc. You can install it in a server or even in a
desktop. In addition, MySQL is reliable, scalable, and fast.
The official way to pronounce MySQL is My Ess Que Ell, not My Sequel. However, you can pronounce
it whatever you like, who care?
If you develop websites or web applications, MySQL is a good choice. MySQL is an important component
of LAMP stack, which includes Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

We use the classicmodels database as a MySQL sample database to help you work with MySQL
quickly and effectively. The classicmodels database is a retailer of scale models of classic cars
database. It contains typical business data such as customers, products, sales orders, sales order line
items, etc.
We use this sample database in our MySQL tutorials to demonstrate many MySQL features from simple
queries to complex stored procedures.

http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-sample-database.aspx[24/01/2017 9:23:56]
You can download the MySQL sample database in the following link:
MySQL Sample Database (53.06 kB)

491740 downloads
The download file is in ZIP format so you need a zip program to unzip it. You can download a free zip
program at www.7-zip.org.
After uncompressing the sampledatabase.zip file, you can load the sample database into MySQL
database server by followinghow to load sample database into MySQL database server tutorial and test it
by using the following SQL statements:
1 USE classicmodels;
2 SELECT * FROM customers;
Basically, those statements switch the current database to classicmodels and query data from the
customers table. If you see the customers data returned, you havesuccessfully imported the sample
database into the MySQL database server.
MySQL Sample Database Schema

The MySQL sample database schema consists of the following tables:
Customers: stores customers data.
Products: stores a list of scale model cars.
ProductLines: stores a list of product line categories.
Orders: stores sales orders placed by customers.
OrderDetails: stores sales order line items for each sales order.
Payments: stores payments made by customers based on their accounts.
Employees: stores all employee information as well as the organization structure such as who
reports to whom.
Offices: stores sales office data.
You can download the MySQL sample database ER-diagram in PDF format via the following link. We
recommend that you print the ER diagram out and stick it to your desk to get familiar with the schema
while learning MySQL.

Home / Basic MySQL Tutorial / Manage Database in MySQL
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to manage databases in MySQL. You will learn how to create
new databases, remove existing databases, and display all databases in the MySQL database server.
Lets start creating a new database in MySQL.
Creating Database
Before doing anything else with the data, you need to create a database. A database is a container of
data. It stores contacts, vendors, customers or any kind of data that you can think of. In MySQL, a
database is a collection of objects that are used to store and manipulate data such as tables, database
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-create-drop-database.aspx[24/01/2017 9:26:42]
views, triggers, stored procedures,etc.

To create a database in MySQL, you use the CREATE DATABASE statement as follows:
1 CREATE DATABASE [IF NOT EXISTS] database_name;

Lets examine the CREATE DATABASE statement in greater detail:
Followed by the CREATE DATABASE statement is database name that you want to create. It is
recommended that the database name should be as meaningful and descriptive as possible.
The IF NOT EXISTS is an optional clauseof the statement. The IF NOT EXISTS clause
prevents you from an error of creating a new database that already exists in the database server.
You cannot have 2 databases with the same name in a MySQL database server.
For example, to create classicmodels database, you can execute the CREATE DATABASE statement
as follows:
1 CREATE DATABASE classicmodels;

After executing this statement, MySQL returns a message to notify that the new database has been
created successfully or not.
Displaying Databases
The SHOW DATABASES statement displays all databases in the MySQL database server. You can use the
SHOW DATABASES statement to check the database that youve created or to see all the databases on
the database server before you create a new database, for example:
1 SHOW DATABASES;
We have three databases in the MySQL database server. The information_schema and mysql are
the default databases that are available when we install MySQL, and the classicmodels is the new
database that we have created.
Selecting a database to work with

Before working with a particular database, you must tell MySQL which database you want to work with by
using the USE statement.
1 USE database_name;
You can select the classicmodels sample database using the USE statement as follows:
1 USE classicmodels;
From now all operations such as querying data, create new tables or calling stored procedures which you
perform, will take effects on the current database i.e., classicmodels .
Removing Databases
Removing database means you delete the database physically. All the data and associatedobjects inside
the database are permanently deleted and this cannot be undone.Therefore, it is very important to
execute this query with extra cautions.
To delete a database, you use the DROP DATABASE statement as follows:
1 DROP DATABASE [IF EXISTS] database_name;

Followed the DROP DATABASE is the database name that you want to remove. Similar to the CREATE
DATABASE statement, the IF EXISTS is an optional part of the statement to prevent you from removing
a database that does not exist in the database server.

If you want to practice with the DROP DATABASE statement, you can create a new database, make sure
that it is created, and remove it. Lets look at the following queries:
1 CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS temp_database;

2 SHOW DATABASES;
3 DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS temp_database;
The sequence of three statements is as follows:
1. First, we created a database named temp_database using the CREATE DATABASE statement.
2. Second, we displayed all databases using the SHOW DATABASES statement.
3. Third, we removed the temp_database using the DROP DATABASE statement.
In this tutorial, youve learned various statements to manage databases in MySQL including creating a
new database, removing an existing database, selecting a database to work with, and displaying all
databases in a MySQL database server.

Home / Basic MySQL Tutorial / Using MySQL SELECT Statement to Query Data
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use MySQL SELECT statement to query data from tables
or views.
Introduction to MySQL SELECT statement

The SELECT statement allows you to get thedatafrom tables or views.A table consists of rows and
columns like a spreadsheet. Often, you want to see a subset rows, a subset of columns, or a combination
of two. The result of the SELECT statement is called a result set that is a list of rows, each consisting of
the same number of columns.
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-select-statement-query-data.aspx[24/01/2017 9:43:25]
See the following employees table in the sample database. It has 8 columns: employee number, last
name, first name, extension, email, office code, reports to, job title and many rows.
The SELECT statement controls which columns and rows that you want to see. For example, if you are
only interested in the first name, last name, and job title of all employees or you just want to
seeinformation of every employee whose job title is the sales rep, the SELECT statement helps you to
do this.
Lets take look into thesyntax of the SELECT statement:
SELECT
column_1, column_2, ...
FROM
table_1
[INNER | LEFT |RIGHT] JOIN table_2 ON conditions
WHERE
conditions
GROUP BY column_1
HAVING group_conditions
10 ORDER BY column_1
11 LIMIT offset, length;
The SELECT statement consists ofseveral clauses as explained in the following list:
SELECT followed by a list of comma-separated columns or an asterisk (*) to indicate that you want
to return all columns.
FROM specifies the table or view whereyou want to querythe data.
JOIN gets data from othertables based on certain join conditions.
WHERE filters rows in the result set.
GROUP BY groups a set of rows into groups and applies aggregate functions on each group.
HAVING filters group based on groups defined by GROUP BY clause.
ORDER BY specifies a list of columns for sorting.
LIMIT constrains the number of returned rows.
The SELECT and FROM clause are required in the statement. Other parts are optional.
You will learn about each clause in more detail in the subsequenttutorials. In this tutorial, we are going
to focus on the simple form of the SELECT statement.
MySQL SELECT statement examples

The SELECT statement allows you to query partial data of a table by specifying a list of commaseparated columns in the SELECT clause. For example, if you want to view only first name, last name,
and job title of the employees, you use the following query:
1 SELECT
2 lastname, firstname, jobtitle
3 FROM
4 employees;
Try It Out
>
Even though there are many columns in employees table,the SELECT statement just returns data of
three columns of all rows in the table as highlighted in the picture below:
If you want to get data for all columns in the employees table, you can list all column names in the
SELECT clause. Or you just simply use the asterisk (*) to indicate that you want to get data from all
columns of the table as the following query:
1 SELECT * FROM employees;

Try It Out
>
It returns all columns and rows in the employees table.
You should use the asterisk (*) for testing only.In practical, you should list the columns that you want to
get data explicitly because of the following reasons:
The asterisk (*) returns data from the columns that you may not use. It produces unnecessary I/O
disk and network traffic between the MySQL database server and application.
If you explicit specify the columns, the result set is more predictable and easier to manage. Imagine
when you use the asterisk(*) and someone changes the table by adding more columns, you will end
up witha result set that is different from what you expected.
Using asterisk (*) may expose sensitive information to unauthorized users.
In this tutorial, youve learned about the basic MySQL SELECT statement to query data from a table in
MySQL.

Home / Basic MySQL Tutorial / Using MySQL DISTINCT to Eliminate Duplicates
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use MySQL DISTINCT clause with the SELECT
statement to eliminate duplicate rows in aresult set.
Introduction to MySQL DISTINCTclause

When querying data from a table, you may get duplicate rows. In order to remove these duplicate rows,
you use the DISTINCT clause in the SELECT statement.
The syntax of using the DISTINCT clauseis as follows:
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-distinct.aspx[24/01/2017 9:47:53]
1 SELECT DISTINCT
2 columns
3 FROM
4 table_name
5 WHERE
6 where_conditions;
MySQL DISTINCT example

Lets take a look a simple example of using the DISTINCT clause to select the uniquelast names of
employees from the employees table.
First, we query the last names of employees from the employees table using the SELECT statement as
follows:
1 SELECT
2 lastname
3 FROM
4 employees
5 ORDER BY lastname;
Try It Out
>
Some employees have the same last name Bondur , Firrelli etc.
To remove the duplicate last names, you addthe DISTINCT clauseto the SELECT statement as
follows:
1 SELECT DISTINCT
2 lastname
3 FROM
4 employees
5 ORDER BY lastname;
Try It Out
>
The duplicate last names are eliminated in the result set when we used the DISTINCT clause.
MySQL DISTINCT and NULL values

If a column has NULL values and you use the DISTINCT clause for that column, MySQL keeps one
NULL value and eliminates the other because the DISTINCT clause treats all NULL values as the
same value.
For example, in the customers table, we have many rows whose state column has NULL values.
When we use the DISTINCT clause to query the customers states, we will see uniquestates anda
NULL value as the following query:
1 SELECT DISTINCT
2 state
3 FROM
4 customers;
Try It Out
>
MySQL DISTINCT with multiple columns

You can use the DISTINCT clausewith more than one column. In this case, MySQL uses the
combination of all columns to determinethe uniqueness of the row in the result set.
For example, to get the unique combination of city and state from the customers table, you use the
following query:
1 SELECT DISTINCT
2 state, city
3 FROM
4 customers
5 WHERE
6 state IS NOT NULL
7 ORDER BY state , city;
Try It Out
>
Without the DISTINCT clause, you will get duplicate combination of state and city as follows:
1 SELECT
2 state, city
3 FROM
4 customers
5 WHERE
6 state IS NOT NULL
7 ORDER BY state , city;
Try It Out
>
DISTINCT clause vs. GROUP BY clause

If you use the GROUP BY clause in the SELECT statement without using aggregate functions, the
GROUP BY clause behaves like the DISTINCT clause.
The following statement uses the GROUP BY clause to select the unique states of customers in the
customers table.
1 SELECT
2 state
3 FROM
4 customers
5 GROUP BY state;
Try It Out
>
You can achieve the similar result by using the DISTINCT clause:
1 SELECT DISTINCT
2 state
3 FROM
4 customers;
Try It Out
>
Generally speaking, the DISTINCT clause is a special case of the GROUP BY clause.The difference
between DISTINCT clause and GROUP BY clause is that the GROUP BY clause sorts the result set
whereas the DISTINCT clause does not.
If you add the ORDER BY clause to the statement that uses the DISTINCT clause, the result set is
sorted and it is the same as the onereturned by the statement that uses GROUP BY clause.
1 SELECT DISTINCT
2 state
3 FROM
4 customers
5 ORDER BY state;
Try It Out
>
MySQL DISTINCT and aggregate function

You can use the DISTINCT clause with an aggregate function e.g., SUM, AVG, and COUNT, to remove
duplicate rows before MySQL applies the aggregate function to the result set.
For example, to count the unique states of customers in the U.S., you use the following query:
1 SELECT
2 COUNT(DISTINCT state)
3 FROM
4 customers
5 WHERE
6 country = 'USA';
Try It Out
>
MySQL DISTINCT with LIMIT clause

In case you use the DISTINCT clausewith the LIMIT clause, MySQL stops searching immediately when
it finds the number of unique rows specified in the LIMIT clause.
The following query selects the first 5 non-null unique states in the customers table.
1 SELECT DISTINCT
2 state
3 FROM
4 customers
5 WHERE
6 state IS NOT NULL
7 LIMIT 5;
Try It Out
>
In this tutorial, we have shown you various ways of using MySQL DISTINCT clausesuch as eliminating
duplicate rowsand counting non-NULL values.

Summary: you will learn how to use MySQL WHERE clause in the SELECT statement to filter rowsin the
result set.
Introduction to MySQL WHERE clause

If you use the SELECT statement to query the data from tables without the WHERE clause, you will get all
rows in the tablesthat may be not necessary.The tablesaccumulate data from business transactions all
times. It does not make sense to get all rows from a table especially for bigtables like employees, sales
orders, purchase orders, production orders, etc., because we oftenwant to analyze a set of data at a time
e.g, sales of this quarter, sales of this year compared to last year, etc.
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-where/[24/01/2017 9:49:20]
MySQL WHERE
The WHERE clause allows you to specify exact rows to select based ona particular filtering expression or
condition.
You will also learn how to use LIMIT clause to constrain the number of rows returned by the SELECT
statement.
MySQL WHERE clause examples

We will continue with the employees tabledata in the sample database as shown in the picture below.
Suppose, we just want to get sales rep employees from the employees table, we use the following
query:
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 employees
5 WHERE
6 jobtitle = 'Sales Rep';
Try It Out
>
MySQL WHERE
Even though the WHERE clause appears at the end of the statement, MySQL evaluates the expression in
the WHERE clause first to select the matchingrows. It chooses the rows that have job title as Sales
Rep
1 jobtitle = 'Sales Rep';

MySQL then selects the columns from the selection list in the SELECT clause. The highlighted area
contains the columns and rows in the final result set.
You can form a simple condition like the query above, or a very complex one that combines multiple
expressions with logical operators such as AND, OR, etc. For example, to find all sales rep in the office
code 1, you use the following query:
1 SELECT
MySQL WHERE
3 FROM
4 employees
5 WHERE
6 jobtitle = 'Sales Rep' AND officeCode = 1;
Try It Out
>
The following table lists the comparison operators that you can use to form filtering expressions in the
WHERE clause.
Operator
Description
Equal to. You can use it with almost any data types.
<> or !=
Not equal to.
<
Less than. You typically use it with numeric and date/time data types.
>
Greater than.
<=
Less than or equal to
>=
Greater than or equal to
The following query uses the not equal to operator to get all employees who are not the sales rep:
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 employees
5 WHERE
6 jobtitle <> 'Sales Rep';
MySQL WHERE
The following query gets every employeethat haveoffice code is greater than 5:
1 SELECT
2 lastname, firstname, officeCode
3 FROM
4 employees
5 WHERE officecode > 5;
Try It Out
>
Whatabout employee with office code less than or equal 4(<=4):
1 SELECT
2 lastname, firstname, officeCode
3 FROM
4 employees
5 WHERE officecode <= 4;
Try It Out
>
MySQL WHERE
More on MySQL WHERE clause

There are also someuseful operators that you can use in the WHERE clause to form complex conditions
such as:
BETWEEN selects values within a range of values.
LIKE matches value based on pattern matching.
IN specifies if the value matches any value in a list.
IS NULL checks if the value is NULL.
The WHERE clause is used not only with the SELECT statement but also other SQL statements to filter
rows such as DELETE and UPDATE.
In this tutorial, weve shown you how to use MySQL WHERE clause to filter rowsbased on conditions.

MySQL AND
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to the MySQL AND operator to combine multiple Boolean
expressions to form flex condition to filter data.
Introduction to MySQL AND operator

The AND operator is a logical operator that combines two or more Boolean expressions and returns true
only if both expressions evaluate to true. The AND operator returns false if one of the two expressions
evaluate to false.
1 WHERE boolean_expression_1 AND boolean_expression_2
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-and/[24/01/2017 9:50:51]
The following illustrates the results of the AND operator when combining true, false, and null.
TRUE
FALSE
NULL
TRUE
TRUE
FALSE
NULL
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
NULL
NULL
FALSE
NULL
The AND operator is often used in the WHERE clause of the SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE statement to
form conditions to filter the result set. The AND operator is also used in the join condition of the inner join
or left join clause.
When evaluating an expression that has an AND operator, MySQL evaluates the remaining parts of the
expression until it can determine the result. This is called short-circuit evaluation.
See the following example.
1 SELECT 1 = 0 AND 1 / 0 ;
Try It Out
>
1 1 = 0 AND 1 / 0
2 --------------3 0
Note that in MySQL, 0 is considered as NULL, and non-zero is true.
MySQL just evaluates the first part: 1 = 0 because this expression returns false so MySQL concludes that
the result of the whole expression is false. MySQL does not evaluate the remaining part of the expression,
which is 1/0; If it did, it would issue an error message because of the division by zero.
MySQL AND operator examples

Lets use the customers table in the sample database for the demonstration.
The following statement selects customers who locate in USA country and CA state. We use the AND
operator in the WHERE clause.
1 SELECT customername,
2 country,
3 state
4 FROM customers
5 WHERE country = 'USA'
6 AND state = 'CA';
Try It Out
>
With the AND operator, you can combine more than two Boolean expressions. For example, the following
query returns the customers who locate in California, USA, and has credit limit greater than 100K.
1 SELECT customername,
2 country,
3 state,
4 creditlimit
5 FROM customers
6 WHERE country = 'USA'
7 AND state = 'CA'
8 AND creditlimit > 100000;
Try It Out
>
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to use the MySQL AND operator to combine two or more
expressions to form a complex predicate for the WHERE clause.

MySQL OR Operator
Summary: this tutorial shows you how to use the MySQL OR operator to combine Boolean expressions
for filtering data.
Introduction to the MySQL OR operator

The MySQL OR operator combines two Boolean expressions. It returns true when either condition is true.
The following illustrates the syntax of the OR operator.
1 boolean_expression_1 OR boolean_expression_2
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-or/[24/01/2017 9:52:14]
MySQL OR Operator
The boolean_expression_1 and boolean_expression_2 are Boolean expressions that may return
true, false, or NULL.
The following table shows the result of the OR operator.
TRUE
FALSE
NULL
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
FALSE
TRUE
FALSE
NULL
NULL
TRUE
NULL
NULL
MySQL OR short-circuit evaluation

MySQL uses short-circuit evaluation for the OR operator. In other words, MySQL stops evaluating the
remaining parts of the statement when it can determine the result.
1 SELECT 1 = 1 OR 1 / 0;
Try It Out
>
1 1 = 1 OR 1 / 0
2 -------------3 1
Because the expression 1 = 1 always returns true, MySQL does not evaluate the 1 / 0. If it did, it would
issue an error message because of the division by zero error.
Operator precedence
When you use more than one logical operator in a statement, MySQL evaluates the OR operators after
the AND operators. This is called operator precedence.
The operator precedence determines the order of evaluation of the operators. MySQL evaluates the
operator with the higher precedence first.
MySQL OR Operator
1 SELECT true OR false AND false;

Try It Out
>
1 true OR false AND false

2 ----------------------3 1
How it works
1. First, MySQL evaluates the AND operator, therefore, false AND false returns false.
2. Second, MySQL evaluates the OR operator hence true OR false returns true.
To change the order of evaluation, you use the parentheses, for example:
1 SELECT (true OR false) AND false;

Try It Out
>
1 (true OR false) AND false

2 ------------------------3 0
How it works
1. First, MySQL evaluates the expression in the parenthesis (true OR false) returns true
2. Second, MySQL evaluates the remaining part of the statement, true AND false returns false.
MySQL OR operator examples

We use the customers table in the sample database for the demonstration.
MySQL OR Operator
For example, to get the customers who locate in the USA and France, you use the OR operator in the
WHERE clause as follows:
1 SELECT
2 customername, country
3 FROM
4 customers
5 WHERE
6 country = 'USA' OR country = 'France';
Try It Out
>
MySQL OR Operator
The following statement returns the customers who locate in the USA or France and have credit limit
greater than 10000.
1 SELECT
2 customername, country, creditLimit
3 FROM
4 customers
5 WHERE
6 (country = 'USA' OR country = 'France')
7 AND creditlimit > 100000;
Try It Out
>
Notice that if you do not use the parentheses, the query returns the customers who locate in the USA or
the customers who locate in France with the credit limit greater than 10000.
1 SELECT
2 customername, country, creditLimit
3 FROM
4 customers
5 WHERE
6 country = 'USA' OR country = 'France' AND creditlimit > 100000;
Try It Out
>

Home / Basic MySQL Tutorial / Using MySQL LIMIT to Constrain The Number of Rows Returned By
SELECT Statement
Using MySQL LIMIT to Constrain The Number of

Rows Returned By SELECT Statement
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use MySQL LIMIT clause to constrain the number of rows
returned by the SELECT statement.
Introduction to MySQL LIMIT clause

The LIMIT clause is used in the SELECT statement to constrain the number of rows in a result set. The
LIMIT clause accepts one or two arguments. The values of both arguments must be zero or positive
integers.
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-limit.aspx[24/01/2017 9:53:15]
The following illustrates the LIMIT clause syntax with two arguments:
1 SELECT
2 column1,column2,...
3 FROM
4 table
5 LIMIT offset , count;
Lets examine the LIMIT clause parameters:
The offset specifies the offset of the first row to return. The offset of the first row is 0, not 1.
The count specifies the maximum number of rows to return.
When you use LIMIT with one argument, this argument will be used to specifies the maximum number
of rows to return from the beginning of the result set.
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 table
5 LIMIT count;
The query above is equivalent to the following query with the LIMIT clause that accepts two arguments:
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 table
5 LIMIT 0 , count;
Using MySQL LIMIT to get the first N rows

You can use the LIMIT clause to select the first N rows in a table as follows:
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 table
5 LIMIT N;
For example, to select the first 10 customers, you use the following query:
1 SELECT
2
customernumber,
customername,
creditlimit
5 FROM
6
customers
7 LIMIT 10;
Try It Out
>
Using MySQL LIMIT to get the highest and lowest values

The LIMIT clause often used with ORDER BY clause. First, you use the ORDER BY clause to sort the
result set based on certain criteria, and then you use the LIMIT clause to find lowest or highest values.
See the following customers table in the sample database.
For example, to select 5 customers who have the highest credit limit, you use the following query:
1 SELECT
2
customernumber,
customername,
creditlimit
5 FROM
6
customers
7 ORDER BY
8
creditlimit DESC
9 LIMIT 5;
Try It Out
>
And the following query returns 5 customers who have the lowest credit limit:
1 SELECT
customernumber,
customername,
creditlimit
5 FROM
6
customers
7 ORDER BY
8
creditlimit ASC
9 LIMIT 5;
Try It Out
>
Using MySQL LIMIT to get the nth highest value

One of the toughest questions in MySQL is how to select the nth highest values in a result set e.g., select
the second (or nth) most expensive product, which you cannot use MAX or MIN functions to answer.
However, you can use MySQL LIMIT to answer those kinds of questions.
1. First, you sort the result setin descending order.
2. Second, youuse the LIMIT clause to get the nthmost expensive product.
The generic query is as follows:
1 SELECT
2 column1, column2,...
3 FROM
4 table
5 ORDER BY column1 DESC
6 LIMIT nth-1, count;
Lets take a look at an example.
See the following products result set:
1 SELECT
2
productName,
buyprice
4 FROM
5
products
6 ORDER BY
7
buyprice DESC;
Try It Out
>
Our task is to get the highlight product, which is the second most expensive product in the result set.In
order to do so, you use LIMIT clause to select the second row as the following query: (notice that the
offset starts from zero)
1 SELECT
2
productName,
buyprice
4 FROM
5
products
6 ORDER BY
7
buyprice DESC
8 LIMIT 1, 1;
Try It Out
>
In this tutorial, wehave shown youhow to use MySQL LIMIT clause to constrain the number of rows
returned by the SELECT statement. We also introduced you to a technique to get the nth highest value.

Home / Basic MySQL Tutorial / Querying Data with MySQL IN Operator
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use MySQL IN operator todetermine if a specified value
matches any value in a list or a subquery.
Introduction to the MySQL IN Operator

The IN operator allows you to determine if a specified value matches any one of a list or a subquery.
The following illustrates the syntax of the IN operator.
1 SELECT
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/sql-in.aspx[24/01/2017 9:54:45]
3 FROM
4 table_name
5 WHERE
6
(expr|column_1) IN ('value1','value2',...);
Lets examine the query in more detail:

You can use a column or an expression ( expr ) with the IN operatorin theWHERE clause.
The values in the list must be separated by a comma (,).
The IN operator can also be used in the WHERE clause of otherstatements such as INSERT,
UPDATE, DELETE,etc.
The IN operator returns 1 if the value of the column_1 or the result of the expr expression is equal
to any value in the list, otherwise, it returns 0.
When the values in the list are all constants:
First, MySQL evaluates the values based on the type of the column_1 or result of the expr
expression.
Second, MySQL sorts the values.
Third, MySQL searches for values using binary search algorithm.Therefore, a query that uses the
IN operator with a list of constants will perform very fast.
Note that if the expr or any value in the list is NULL , the IN operator returns NULL
You can combine the IN operator with the NOT operator to determine if a value does not match any
value in a list or a subquery.
MySQL IN examples
Lets practice with some examples of using the IN operator.
If you want to find out theofficesthatlocate in the U.S. and France, you can use the IN operator as the
following query:
1 SELECT
2 officeCode, city, phone, country
3 FROM
4 offices
5 WHERE
6 country IN ('USA' , 'France');
Try It Out
>
You can achieve the same result with the OR operator as the following query:
1 SELECT
2 officeCode, city, phone
3 FROM
4 offices
5 WHERE
6 country = 'USA' OR country = 'France';
Try It Out
>
In case the list has many values, you have to construct a very long statement with multiple OR operators.
Hence, the IN operator allows you to shorten the query and make the query more readable.
To get offices that do not locate in USA and France, you use NOT IN in the WHERE clause as follows:
1 SELECT
2 officeCode, city, phone
3 FROM
4 offices
5 WHERE
6 country NOT IN ('USA' , 'France');
Try It Out
>
MySQL IN with subquery

The IN operator is often used with a subquery. Instead of providing a list of constant values, the
subquery providesthe list of values.
Lets take a look at the orders and orderDetails tables:
For example, if you want to find orders whose total amounts are greaterthan 60000, you use the IN
operator as the following query:
SELECT
orderNumber, customerNumber, status, shippedDate
FROM
orders
WHERE
orderNumber IN (SELECT
orderNumber
FROM
orderDetails
10 GROUP BY orderNumber
11 HAVING SUM(quantityOrdered * priceEach) > 60000);
Try It Out
>
The whole query above can be broken down into 2 queries.

First, the subquery returns a list of order numbers that have totalgreater than 60000 using the GROUP
BY and HAVING clauses on the orderDetails table.
1 SELECT
2 orderNumber
3 FROM
4 orderDetails
5 GROUP BY orderNumber
6 HAVING SUM(quantityOrdered * priceEach) > 60000;
Try It Out
>
Second, the main query gets the data from the orders tableand applies the IN operator in the
WHERE clause.
1 SELECT
2 orderNumber, customerNumber, status, shippedDate
3 FROM
4 orders
5 WHERE
6 orderNumber IN (10165,10287,10310);
Try It Out
>
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to use MySQL IN operator to determine if a value matches any
value in a list or a subquery.

Home / Basic MySQL Tutorial / MySQL BETWEEN Operator Explained
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use MySQL BETWEEN operator to determine whether a
value is in a range of values.
Introduction to MySQL BETWEEN Operator

The BETWEEN operator allows you to specify a range to test. We often use the BETWEEN operator in the
WHERE clause of the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
The following illustrates the syntax of the BETWEEN operator:
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-between[24/01/2017 9:55:43]
1 expr [NOT] BETWEEN begin_expr AND end_expr;

The expr is the expression to test in the range that is defined by begin_expr and end_expr.
All three expressions: expr, begin_expr, and end_expr must have the same data type.
The BETWEEN operator returns true if the value of the expr is greater than or equal to (>=) the value of
begin_expr and less than or equal to (<= ) the value of the end_expr otherwise it returns zero.
The NOT BETWEEN returns true if the value of expr is less than (<) the value of the begin_expr or greater
than the value of the value of end_expr otherwise it returns 0.
If any expression is NULL, the BETWEEN operator returns a NULL value.
In case you want to specify an exclusive range, you use the greater than (>) and less than (<) operators.
MySQL BETWEEN examples

Lets practice with some examples of using the BETWEEN operator.
MySQL BETWEEN with number examples

See the following products table in the sample database:
Suppose you want to find products whose buy prices are within the ranges of $90 and $100 , you can
use the BETWEEN operator as the following query:
1 SELECT
2 productCode, productName, buyPrice

3 FROM
4 products
5 WHERE
6 buyPrice BETWEEN 90 AND 100;
Try It Out
>
You can achieve the same result by using the greater than or equal (>= ) and less than or equal ( <= )
operators as the following query:
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 products
5 WHERE
6 buyPrice >= 90 AND buyPrice <= 100;
Try It Out
>
To find the product whose buy price is not between $20 and $100, you combine the BETWEEN operator
with the NOT operator as follows:
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 products
5 WHERE
6 buyPrice NOT BETWEEN 20 AND 100;
Try It Out
>
You can rewrite the query above using the less than (>), greater than (>), and logical operators (AND) as
the following query.
1 SELECT
3 FROM
4 products
5 WHERE
6 buyPrice < 20 OR buyPrice > 100;
Try It Out
>
MySQL BETWEEN with dates example

When you use the BETWEEN operator with date values, to get the best result, you should use the type
cast to explicitly convert the type of column or expression to the DATE type.
For example, to get the orders whose required dates are from 01/01/2003 to 01/31/2003, you use the
following query:
1 SELECT orderNumber,
2 requiredDate,
3 status
4 FROM orders
5 WHERE requireddate
6 BETWEEN CAST('2003-01-01' AS DATE)
7 AND CAST('2003-01-31' AS DATE);
Try It Out
>
Because the data type of the required date column is DATE so we used the cast operator to convert the
literal strings 2003-01-01 and 2003-12-31 to the DATE data type.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to use the BETWEEN operator to test if a value falls within a range
of values.
