Hello, I saw a posting regarding this issue in august, with no solution...
How to have the planner use an index in the case of a query like : SELECT * FROM TABLE1 ORDER BY X DESC, Y ASC; (X is a date and Y a varchar) What would that index be? Is there a function I can use, to invert x (the date), so that I can make a query / index set like : CREATE INDEX INDEX1 ON TABLE 1 (INVERT(X), Y ASC); SELECT * FROM TABLE1 ORDER BY INVERT(X) ASC, Y ASC; Wouldn't it be great to have a mySQL, SAPDB-like syntax of the sort : CREATE INDEX INDEX1 ON TABLE 1 (X DESC, Y ASC); Thanks, vincent ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
