Hello,
I am trying to select distinct dates and order them in the reverse
chronological order. Although the column type is TIMESTAMP, in this
case I want only YYYY, MM, and DD back.
I am using the following query, but it's not returning dates back in
the reverse chronological order:
SELECT DISTINCT
date_part('year', uu.add_date), date_part('month', uu.add_date),
date_part('day', uu.add_date)
FROM uus INNER JOIN ui ON uus.user_id=ui.id INNER JOIN uu ON
ui.id=uu.user_id
WHERE uus.x_id=1
ORDER BY
date_part('year', uu.add_date), date_part('month', uu.add_date),
date_part('day', uu.add_date) DESC;
This is what the above query returns:
date_part | date_part | date_part
-----------+-----------+-----------
2004 | 2 | 6
2004 | 4 | 20
(2 rows)
I am trying to get back something like this:
2004 4 20
2004 4 19
2004 2 6
...
My query is obviously wrong, but I can't see the mistake. I was
wondering if anyone else can see it. Just changing DESC to ASC, did
not work.
Thank you!
Otis
