mysql union limit_mysql中的union和order by、limit

CREATE TABLE `test1` (

`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

`name` varchar(20) NOT NULL,

`desc` varchar(100) NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

(1)以下查询会报错误：[Err] 1221 - Incorrect usage of UNION and ORDER BY

select * from test1 where name like 'A%' order by name

union

select * from test1 where name like 'B%' order by name

应改为：

select * from test1 where name like 'A%'

union

select * from test1 where name like 'B%' order by name

因为union中，在不用括号的情况下，只能用一个order by(想一想，如果union两边的order by的列名不一样会怎么样),这会对union后的结果集进行排序

或者改为：

(select * from test1 where name like 'A%' order by name)

union

(select * from test1 where name like 'B%' order by name)

这两个order by在union前进行

(2)同样的

select * from test1 where name like 'A%' limit 10

union

select * from test1 where name like 'B%' limit 20

相当于

(select * from test1 where name like 'A%' limit 10)

union

(select * from test1 where name like 'B%') limit 20

即后一个limit作用于的是union后的结果集，而不是union后的select

也可以加括号来得到你想要的结果

(select * from test1 where name like 'A%' limit 10)

union

(select * from test1 where name like 'B%' limit 20)

(3)UNION和UNION ALL区别

union会过滤掉union两边的select得到的结果集中的重复的行，而union all不会过滤掉重复的行
