ID order...
Ok, strange question. I have delete some records and I have notice that ID's are no longer in order when I do a SQL statement. Why is that? What can I do put the records back into order? | Chuck Payne | | Magi Design and Support | | www.magidesign.com | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | BeOS, Macintosh 68K, Classic, and OS X, Linux Support.

RE: ID order...
Yes it is a strange question.. MySQL result sets are in the order you asked in the query. IF you would like the result set to be in order by a field called ID then just add order by ID at the end of your query.. Is this what you were asking? If not , can you give more insights of what the query was returning before the deletion, and what it is returning now and what you'd like it to return?

Re: ID order...
Maybe. Just I have delete let say ID 63, 64 and when I added 74,75. They are place into the slot where 63, 64 were. So I read this in the ID list 61,62, 74, 75, 66, 67... I am trying to understand why it's placing 74 and 75 in the slots that were deleted. Is there a re-index command that will place them into the right order.

Re: ID order...
Ok, but that still doesn't any why MySQL is filling the delete slot, I understand that I can do any SQL statement to put into the order I want. I guess what I am trying to wonder how it place a record into the table, does MySQL see that the slot is empty and then fills it with a new record?

According to the SQL specs, the order of the result set is undefined. If you want it ordered, you have to specify it (ORDER BY). The fact that it often looks ordered until you delete/insert is pure coincidence and should not be relied upon. It depends entirely on the storage mechanism used, something which is no business of the application. Just do an ORDER BY if you need it ordered. The server is bright enough not to order if it is not required, or use an index to order if possible. Trust the optimiser, and don't assume anything about ordering.
