Hi, I am trying the following:
critik=# select start_date from show_date order by case when start_date > CURRENT_DATE then start_date desc else start_date asc end; ERROR: syntax error at or near "desc" LINE 1: ...se when start_date > CURRENT_DATE then start_date desc else ... If I remove the "desc" and "asc" then the quey is accepted but doesn't do what I want. OTOH if I try: critik=# select start_date from show_date order by start_date case when start_date > CURRENT_DATE then desc else asc end; ERROR: syntax error at or near "case" LINE 1: ...ect start_date from show_date order by start_date case when ... How can i order ASC or DESC depending on a condition?
