Makes sense. I take it that this is a deviation from the ANSI 92
standard, then?
What happens if I put an ORDER BY in a view, then call an ORDER BY in a
query, e.g.:
CREATE VIEW test_view AS
SELECT client_name, city, zip FROM clients
WHERE zip IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY zip;
SELECT * FROM test_view ORDER BY city;
Does the second ORDER BY override or suppliment the view ORDER BY, or is
it ignored?
