Re: [SQL] Which SQL query makes it possible to optain the 3 greatest values of an interger list ?

2001-09-15 Thread Wei Weng

I would use

SELECT id FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 0, 3;

in order to get the top 3 results. The key is Limit keyword.

 Subject: [SQL] Which SQL query makes it possible to optain the 3

 OO( Sql Problem )Oo. 
 
 That is to say a table of 5 inputs of 1 integer field : 
 
Table = { (1); (12); (3); (9); (4) }
 
 We want to obtain a result of 1 input of 3 fields, 
 corresponding to the 3 greatest values of Table, 
 by descending order : 
 
Result = { (12; 9; 4) } 
 
 = Which SQL query makes it possible to obtain Result from Table ?
 We certainly need to use sub-queries, but how ?
 
 Thank you in advance for your help !
