Ok, I am setting up a small bidding system. I have a table with one column for "BID" and the other for "MAX_BID" with each row having a unique id number. Anyone have a simple query example where I can select ID, BID, MAX_BID and sort in descending order the BID and MAX_BID as if it were one column?
Example_tbl id bid max_bid 1 .2 .4 2 .1 .2 3 .4 .0 4 .4 .7 5 .7 .7 Selecting the id and creating X_BID in the query result which is the combined bid columns, ordering by the BID and MAX_BID Result_Set ID X_BID 5 .7 4 .7 3 .4 1 .4 2 .2 Make any sense ? Any thoughts on the AS and ORDER BY for this ?
