Question

I have a query, I have to sort the result from the DB2 database. The query will select the columns empname,salary,status. But I have to sort the result using order by empno
But the query is not working.. This is the query.

select empname, salary, status from emp where salary>5000 order by empno  

Can you update the query to sort by empno without using it in selecting columns?

Answer 1

Your syntax seems correct to me except dot(.) at the end. After removing dot if doesn’t work…

Try something like

SELECT empname, salary, status
  FROM (SELECT   *
            FROM emp
        ORDER BY empno)
 WHERE salary > 5000
