Is having an order by in a view legal? In sybase ASA, mssql it throws a syntax error if there's an order by. If so, does it do 2 sorts when you sort by something else? i.e. if view is create view v1 as select * from table order by 1; and the statment select * from v1 order by 2; is run does it sort by 1 then resort by 2? klint. +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ : Klint Gore : "Non rhyming : : EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : slang - the : : Snail : A.B.R.I. : possibilities : : Mail University of New England : are useless" : : Armidale NSW 2351 Australia : L.J.J. : : Fax : +61 2 6772 5376 : : +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
