Question

I am working on adding up and down votes to some items in the database, and displaying them ordered by the highest upvotes. How would this query look like?

How can I make something like this in SQL?

SELECT col1 col2 FROM some_table WHERE "highest number of upvotes" 

Answer 1

Assuming upvotes is a field in your table, you can use ORDER BY and optionally a LIMIT:

SELECT col1, col2
FROM some_table
ORDER BY upvotes DESC
LIMIT 10
