SQL FIRST( ) Function


The FIRST() Function

The FIRST() function returns the first value of the selected column.

SQL FIRST() Syntax

SELECT FIRST(column_name) FROM table_name

SQL FIRST() Example

We have the following "result" table:
Student_No
Subject_No
Year_Exam
Marks
ST101
SU03
1
69
ST102
SU01
1
61
ST101
SU04
1
70
ST101
SU05
1
87
ST103
SU01
2
51
ST103
SU03
1
59
ST103
SU01
3
56
ST108
SU01
1
78
ST105
SU05
2
98


Now we want to find the first value of the "Marks" column.
We use the following SQL statement:

SELECT FIRST(Marks) AS First_Marks FROM result;
Tip: Workaround if FIRST() function is not supported:
SELECT Marks FROM result ORDER BY Student_No LIMIT 1;

The result-set will look like this:

marks
69
