Please consider this plpgsql function:
= = = = = = = = = =
CREATE Or Replace FUNCTION fx_order_by ( )
RETURNS table( last_name text, first_name )
AS $eofx$
DECLARE
--
BEGIN
Return Query
select
lname, fname
from
my_table
order by
lname ASC
;
END;
$eofx$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
= = = = = = = = = =
So, is this select statement's result set guaranteed to be ordered as specified by the [order by] coded within the
functionbody ?
= = = = = = = = = =
select last_name, first_name from fx_order_by() ;
= = = = = = = = = =
Or, must I code another [order by] to be sure ?
= = = = = = = = = =
select last_name, first_name from fx_order_by() order by last_name ;
= = = = = = = = = =
Also, is the answer the same for a "sql" function ?
Thanks,
