Find the 6 highest amounts in a table in Mysql

26 New Member
I wish to find the 6 highest amounts in my Mysql database.
The database name is employment
The table name is jobs
The columns / fields are:
'Job title'
'Company Name'
'Employment dates'
'Pay'

The 'Pay' column / field contains only numbers such as 100

I would like to know the 6 Highest 'Pay' amounts I received.

Thanks for your help

I think you mean the table is employment?
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. SELECT JobTitle, Pay FROM employment ORDER BY Pay DESC LIMIT 6
You should look up ORDER BY and LIMIT commands for MySQL. Also, OFFSET might be useful.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
