Re: Case in Order-by clause

Hi Martijn,

Thank you for thinking with me. This indeed works!

Your very welcome.

In previous preparation I already read about the difference between the case statement and the case expression. I guess the applicability in order-by clauses is one example where these differences surface.

Well - also in the SELECT, WHERE or GROUP BY clauses the case expression in completely evaluated and effectively "vanishes" from the statement.

One has to wrap its mind around the CASE - as it is something very useful.

Next step - please teach the window functions like COUNT(..) OVER(..) and SUM(CASE ...) - they give so much power.

Glad to help
Daniel
