SQL ASC: Sort Data in Ascending Order

In SQL, ASC is a keyword used for sorting query results in ascending order.ASC stands for Ascending.

The basic syntax for using ASC statements is:

Retrieve column names from the table and sort them in ascending order.

For example, if there is a table named “employees” with columns “employee_id” and “employee_name”, and we want to sort it in ascending order based on the “employee_id” column, we can use the following SQL statement:

Retrieve the employee ID and name from the employees table, ordering the results in ascending order by employee ID.

The query results will be sorted in ascending order based on the values in the “employee_id” column.
