Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Sub-query in order by clause
Hello list,
In Oracle 9.2.0.1, you can now order by using a single-row subquery Here is an example:
SELECT emp.deptno, empno, ename
FROM emp
ORDER BY ( SELECT deptno FROM dept
WHERE dept.deptno = emp.deptno );
The question I have is what is the usefulness of this? Under which
circumstances
this can be used? Any ideas?
