Difference between sort by, order by and group by in databases

WWGD · Mar 24, 2015

Hi, just curious about the difference between the " Sort By " and " Order By" commands in database. I assume Sort by is used in QBE and "Order by" is used in SQL ? While we're at it, how about "Group By"?
Thanks.

SQL uses "ORDER BY". Where have you seen "SORT BY"? What is QBE?

Thanks, Greg, I think Access uses "Sort By" . QBE is an abbreviation for "Query by Example" , a visual, high-level way of doing
a query; QBE is to SQL as GUI is to Command Line.
