Re: : Postgres order by into a RECORD, not ordering
Hi Again.
I hope you can explain this.
I have a stored procedure which does a query of a table using order by, into
a RECORD.
The statement I mentioned earlier, is a FOR IN.
the data stored into the RECORD, is not ordered by the columns specified,
because when I loop through the record, the columns returned in the row are
different, to when I manually do a Select query using order by.
I assumed this may have something to do with the index.
Is there any reason why this is so ?
Kind Regards,
Shaun Clements
RESOLVED.
It must be a bug in 7.3
I resolved the problem, by changing the FOR IN statement to FOR IN EXECUTE.
By changing the Statement into a string, it accommodated for the ORDER BY.
Thanks for all your responses.
Kind Regards,
Shaun Clements

Before reaching that conclusion, let's see what you were doing.
I resolved the problem, by changing the FOR IN statement to FOR IN EXECUTE.
By changing the Statement into a string, it accommodated for the ORDER BY.
Could you post the code that didn't work and the code that does
work? There might be a better solution than what you did. In any
case, it's good to understand *why* something doesn't work, so if
you post the code then maybe somebody can explain what's wrong.
