Hi,
Maybe someone could take a moment to explain this behavior?
I am using IFNULL() in an order by statement to push null values to the
end of a table for sorting.
For example:
mysql select distinct s.some_pk as myid, queryid from data_table s,
userdata.queryinfo q where s.some_pk=q.myid order
If you drop the order by, does the second query work?

I would try:
select distinct s.some_pk, IFNULL(s.some_pk, 999) as myid
from data_table s, other_data_table
where s.some_pk=232 order by myid;
Although I don't get the purpose of the IFNULL or the order by if you're
selecting only a single value of s.some_pk.
