从MySQL表获取价值，仅显示前十名和前十名

Question

I have a table like this:

  Username    Rating
1 xxxxxxxx      -1
2 xxxxxxxx       2
3 xxxxxxxx       5
4 xxxxxxxx      -2
5 xxxxxxxx       4

(Imagine if the table was bigger and had more than 20 rows). I want to write a MySQL statement in PHP that will return two lists: a list of the top ten highest values ordered by largest first, and a list of the top ten lowest values, ordered lowest first. How would I go about this?

Answer 1

Ten highest:

SELECT Username, Rating FROM <Table> ORDER BY Rating DESC LIMIT 10;

Ten lowest:

SELECT Username, Rating FROM <Table> ORDER BY Rating ASC LIMIT 10;

Answer 2

You order the result and use limit 10

select *
from mytable
order by rating
limit 10

or the top highest values

select *
from mytable
order by rating desc
limit 10
