曾经看到一个帖子,是问怎么一次(用一条查询语句)就查询出一个表中的最大值和最小值,其中一位这样回答的:(拿Northwind的Products表为例)
select top 1 * from products order by UnitPrice
union
select top 1 * from products order by UnitPrice desc
上面这个似乎正确,可是其实在使用了Union的时候只有最后一条Select命令才能使用Order by参数,因此上面这样是不行的,在查询分析器中运行会爆出错误
下面提供查询出最大值和最小值的方法:
declare @HighLow table
(
ProductName varchar ( 50 )
)
insert @HighLow select top 1 Productname from Products order by Unitprice desc
insert @HighLow select top 1 Productname from Products order by Unitprice
select ProductName from @HighLow
这种方法不是一次就查询出最大值和最小值,而是使用了一个Table变量,将查询出的最大值和最小值保存入这个表中。
下面这个例子使用了Northwind数据库,取出每种书目中价格最贵的3本书:
declare @Category table
(
id int identity ( 1 , 1 ) not null ,
CategoryId int ,
CategoryName varchar ( 50 )
)
declare @MostExpensive table
(
ProductName varchar ( 50 )
)
declare @counter int , @number int
set @counter = 0
insert @Category select CategoryId,CategoryName from Categories
select @number = count ( * ) from @Category
while @counter < @number
begin
set @counter = @counter + 1
insert @MostExpensive select top 3 ProductName from products where categoryid = ( select CategoryId from @Category where id = @counter ) order by UnitPrice desc
end
select * from @MostExpensive
select top 1 * from products order by UnitPrice
union
select top 1 * from products order by UnitPrice desc
