Re: ASK about SQL

Yes, you can order it the same as how you've listed in the IN condition, but
you need to use the ORDER BY clause... Essentially you just need to pass the
same list to both IN and ORDER BY but with some slightly different
formatting...

SELECT ean
FROM icitem
WHERE ean IN (4902715720005, 4909411012151, 4909411010164, 4902715688718,
4902715731605, 4909411008864, 4909411010188, 4909411010126, 4909411010140,
4909411012052, 4902715720104, 4909411010089, 4909411010201, 0)
ORDER BY CASE WHEN ean = 4902715720005 THEN '1'
WHEN ean = 4909411012151 THEN '2'
WHEN ean = 4909411010164 THEN '3'
WHEN ean = 4902715688718 THEN '4'
WHEN ean = 4902715731605 THEN '5'
WHEN ean = 4909411008864 THEN '6'
WHEN ean = 4909411010188 THEN '7'
WHEN ean = 4909411010126 THEN '8'
WHEN ean = 4909411010140 THEN '9'
WHEN ean = 4909411012052 THEN '10'
WHEN ean = 4902715720104 THEN '11'
WHEN ean = 4909411010089 THEN '12'
WHEN ean = 4909411010201 THEN '13'
WHEN ean = 0 THEN '14'
;

YES, I don't care with with ORDER BY clause. beacuse i just want what the
data INPUT as like that the data OUTPUT ,so INPUT listed = OUTPUT listed.
so there isn't way in POSTGRES to do like this ??

You will need to explicitly tell Postgres what order you want it in - unless
you tell PG the order you want with an ORDER BY clause, it assumes you don't
care.

I can't recall 100% the exact syntax for the ORDER BY in your case, but
someone else more with it than me at the moment will be able to... Hang
tight! :)
