Re: Delete/Update with ORDER BY

I have never seen order by in a delete statement in Oracle so I tested it.

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Oct 25 07:45:50 2007

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> create table a (a1 number, a2 number);

Table created.

SQL> delete from a where a1 = 10 order by a2;
delete from a where a1 = 10 order by a2
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

Sure enough, it doesn't work. What are you trying to do with an order by on
a delete?

In Oracle you can use this:

DELETE FROM A WHERE A1 = 10 ORDER BY A2

There is something in the Postgresql ?
