When I try to sort by a value descending my SQL table does it correctly, but if it sees for example "1000" it always puts it in the middle? for Example:
this even happens when I reference it in spigot (I'm using it for a plugin) it outputs it the same way
this is how I'm calling it in my plugin:
PreparedStatement statement = database.getConnection().prepareStatement("SELECT uuid FROM player_stats ORDER BY blocks_broken DESC");
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
String name = rs.getString("uuid");
LeaderboardCommand.name = name;
String player = String.valueOf(Bukkit.getPlayer(UUID.fromString(name)));
p.sendMessage(player);
I know it's not perfect as I'm just learning/experimenting with databases currently, but I'm mainly asking for help on why the SQL is outputted this way & advice on any severe mistakes I'm making is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance -Occy
public void createPlayerStats(PlayerStats playerStats) throws SQLException {
PreparedStatement statement = getConnection()
.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO player_stats(uuid, blocks_broken, last_login, last_logout) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
statement.setString(1, playerStats.getPlayerUUID());
statement.setLong(2, playerStats.getBlocksBroken());
statement.setDate(3, new Date(playerStats.getLastLogin().getTime()));
statement.setDate(4, new Date(playerStats.getLastLogout().getTime()));
statement.executeUpdate();
statement.close();
CodePudding user response:
It happens because block_broken type is a varchar and not a number.
In this case you are ordering lexycographically and not numerically.
You can change your query to handle that as a numeric value with an explicit cast so your query should be:
SELECT uuid FROM player_stats ORDER BY cast(blocks_broken as numeric) DESC
Update: In MariaDb try to use this (You can try directly in the db client and once it is working update your java code):
SELECT uuid FROM player_stats ORDER BY CAST(blocks_broken AS INTEGER) DESC
