Micky Li commented on DERBY-3634: --------------------------------- @Knut Thank for your help. I just used the wrong patch derby-3634-remove.diff as you said. After I apply derby-3634-b.diff, SQL query works well but can't be used for "ORDER BY" query. It show error as later description. @Dag Thank for your help. When I use browser to open http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/, it shows 819978 revision. But I use the same link in Eclipse SVN Repository, the trunk revision always shows 819006 from yesterday even I refresh it. I don't know why ..., and I also use TortoiseSVN (Windows version) to explore that link, it still shows 819006 at trunk and 819547 at branch in Repository Browser of TortoiseSVN. After apply the derby-3634-c.diff patch, it compiles and jar OK. The SQL query string as I mentioned at 28/Sep/09 09:02 PM works well. My target is to use ROW_NUMBER() with ORDER BY in one SQL query, but there shows a error as following: 'Syntax error: Encountered "ORDER" at line 1, column 113' the SQL query string is --- SELECT * FROM ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER() AS rownum, event_log.* FROM event_log WHERE event_log.id<=2147483647 ORDER BY id DESC) AS TR WHERE rownum >= 2189 AND rownum <= 2288 --- It clearly that the syntax error is caused by the ORDER which is added. But I think the derby-3634-c.diff patch is to solve this problem, am I right?

That includes OLAP > expressions. I believe this is so because, according to part 2, section 10.10 > (<sort specification>), a <sort key> can be any <value expression> and if you > follow the grammar for <value expression>, it can resolve to be a <value > expression primary> (see section 6.3), which can in turn resolve to be a > <window function>. This reasoning is supported by tracing the hotlinks on the > following page which lays out the SQL 2003 BNF: > http://savage.net.au/SQL/sql-2003-2.bnf.html This interpretation is further > supported by the example of an ORDER BY clause referencing an OLAP expression > which is provided on page 23 of the introduction to OLAP written by Fred > Zemke, Krishna Kulkarni, Andy Witkowski, and Bob Lyle: > www.cse.iitb.ac.in/dbms/Data/Papers-Other/SQL1999/OLAP-99-154r2.pdf -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
