MySQL和PHP排行榜查询

Question

I have a set of players and I want to select the top 5 scores from the tables and print out the username and scores in descending order, what's the SQL statement for that? and How to output the result?

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM yourtable ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 5

Explanations:

SELECT * FROM yourtable : we select yourtable .

ORDER BY score DESC : We order the results based on the column score and in descending order.

LIMIT 5 : we limit the number of results by 5.
