Re: How to identify a column in order by clause
Re: How to identify a column in order by clause
- No it does not in a relational model, which is why positional were
deprecated in SQL-92
- Hey, if you throwing out the basic SQL model, why not allow computed
references, like pointer math in C, et al?
- The phrase "Standard Oracle" is an oxymoron. That product is a
screwed up mess from a Standards virewpoint, a RDBMS viewpoint and an
Relational viewpoint. Have you seen Rich Finkelstein's slide show
about all of the marketing lies, frauds, etc. done by this company?
- Agreed. Which is one of the many reasons that (1) is useless in a
language that claims to be orthogonal.
