01-Oct-2022The names and marks of the top three students are obtained using a SELECT statement. The following SQL statement is used to determine the column in a table's given records with the highest value:
SELECT TOP N * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name DESC;
You can write the query.
SELECT TOP 3* FROM students ORDER BY marks DESC;

23-Sep-2021SQL SELECT Highest value:
To find the highest value from given records of column in a table then the following SQL statement is used for it,
SELECT TOP N * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name DESC;
And find the min value from that table then,
SELECT TOP N * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ;(or ASC ;)
Example:
Lets have a database table ‘Students’ that store the record of students.
The following SQL statement is used to find the records of 3 students who get the highest marks.
select top 3 stuName, stuMarks from Students order by stuMarks desc;
