获取具有最高记录数的用户

Question

I have a table "Records" in my database and a column "username" where I have stored the name of the user that has the record. I want to get the user with the highest number of records. The only idea that I have is to build a method to get the number of records for each user and then to find the greatest number among them. Is there any SQL query to do this or a simpler method? Thank you.

Answer 1

select username, count(*)
from Records
group by username
order by count(*) desc
limit 1

Answer 2

select username, count(*) As no_of_records
from Records
group by username
order by no_of_records desc

The above query will give all the rows with descending order of no. of records for users and for any number of limits you can use LIMIT keyword followed by a number

for. eg for highest LIMIT 1

for top 2 LIMIT 2 etc.

Answer 3

Another way

select username
from records
having count(*) = 
    (SELECT max(count(*)) FROM records group by username)
group by username

Answer 4

try this

  SELECT username, sum(record) total_record
  FROM Records
  GROUP BY username
  ORDER BY count(*) desc  

EDIT :

DEMO SQLFIDLE

** if you want get just the first highest , do LIMIT 1

 select username, sum(record) total_record
 from Records
 group by username
 order by count(*) desc
 limit 1
