I'm using 3.23.51 and I'd like to update a field in a certain order. I've got a table of images for a slide show and the format of the table is:
image varchar(128) not null order_number integer not null primary key
So we might have something like:
duck.jpg 1 cat.jpg 2 horse.jpg 3
I want the user to be able to insert a new picture anywhere and automatically up date the order numbers of the other items. Apparently this is easy in version 4, because you can just do:
update slideshow set order_number=order_number +1 where order_number >1 order by order_number desc
Because you have to change 3->4, 2->3 so that you can insert a new number 2.
Is there a good workaround for this in version 3?
Thanks,
Bob
