If a select statement orders by a column whose values are not unique, are
the records returned in an order that is guaranteed to be repeatable from
query to query? (Assuming no updates, deletes, or inserts between
queries.)
I would think not, that guaranteed repeatable ordering requires ordering on
a unique column or combination of columns, but I've been unable to generate
a test case that proves it.
Thanks
Bill
