What is the difference between group by and order by?

Answer Posted / visakh viswanath

Difference between order by and group by having ?

suppose i have students table which has id number ,sname
varchar2(20),marks1number ,marks2 number,marks3 number,age
number.

i would like to illustrate what i understood
suppose i want to select students whose id > 2000 and age
>30

my query would be like this
select * from students where id >2000 and age >30 order by
age desc ;
or
else
select * from students group by age ,id having age >30 and
id >2000 ;

so both the queries would be same but in the first one i
use order by followed by my condition in where .
in second once i used group by which would group according
to the age or id and then having is same as where condition
in the above .
