Oracle Order BY Clause
نشر بواسطة : Obay Salah , December 1, 2024
In Oracle, ORDER BY Clause is used to sort or re-arrange the records in the result set. The ORDER BY clause is only used with SELECT statement.
Syntax
SELECT expressions FROM tables WHERE conditions ORDER BY expression [ ASC | DESC ];
Parameters
expressions: It specifies columns that you want to retrieve
tables: It specifies the table name from where you want to retrieve records
conditions: It specifies the conditions that must be fulfilled for the records to be selected
ASC: It is an optional parameter that is used to sort records in ascending order
DESC: It is also an optional parameter that is used to sort records in descending order
Oracle ORDER BY Example: (without ASC/DESC attribute)
Let's take a table "supplier"
Supplier table
CREATE TABLE "SUPPLIER" ( "SUPPLIER_ID" NUMBER, "FIRST_NAME" VARCHAR2(4000), "LAST_NAME" VARCHAR2(4000) ) /
Execute this Query
SELECT * FROM supplier ORDER BY last_name;
Output
The above example returns the first_name ordered by last_name in ascending order
Oracle ORDER BY Example: (sorting in descending order)
If you want to sort your result in descending order, you should use the DESC attribute in your ORDER BY clause
Execute this Query
SELECT * FROM supplier ORDER BY last_name DESC;
Output
The above example returns the first_name ordered by last_name in descending order
