Hi, I have the following table, with the query below to list entries from it
where start_date IS NOT NULL:
CREATE TABLE onp_crm_activity_log(
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
start_date timestamp,
start_time timestamp,
end_time timestamp,
title varchar NOT NULL
);
SELECT start_date, start_time, end_time, title
FROM onp_crm_activity_log
WHERE start_date IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY start_date ASC, start_time ASC;
start_date | start_time | end_time | title
---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+-----------
2005-02-03 00:00:00 | 2005-02-03 08:00:00 | | Something
2005-02-03 00:00:00 | 2005-02-03 09:00:00 | 2005-02-03 12:00:00 | Something
2005-02-03 00:00:00 | | | Something
Now, as you see, touples with NULL in the "start_time"-field appear "after"
the others. I would like to make all entries where start_time IS NULL apear
*before* all the others. Any idea how to achieve this?
