The fact that you get results in a certain order without using an order by clause is a happy coincidence, and not to be relied upon.

I.e. you HAVE to use an order by clause if you want a certain order. period. -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
