Order problem

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to SQL and databases, and i've come up with a problem
to sort my data. I'm trying to do a basic forum thing.
In my table i've got a column subject, a column content and a date.
I'd like to sort the data first by date, then by topic, and then by
date gain, if you see what i mean.
I would like to group entries that have the same subject together,
sort them by date, and inside each group sort by date as well.
Am i making sense ? Is it possible to do that or am i thinking the
whole thing in a wrong way ?

Thanks,
Romain.

Before i post actual code, as i need a speedyish reply. Can i first ask if anyone knows off the top of their head, if there is a likely obvious cause to the following problem.

Basically, if i enter queries such as ; "select * from table" "select * from...

Ran into a strange problem today: 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3 Database and applications had been working fine for two years and all of a sudden a couple of regularly-run queries are now no longer coming out in correct sort order specified in the ORDER clauses of the select statements. Behavior is erratic, about half the time the sort order is correct, and the other half is not. All expected rows are being returned (no data is missing) and the...

This post contains one question and one proposal. A. May I know why order of evaluation of arguments is not specified in C/C++? I asked a question in comp.lang.c++ for the following possibility and because the languages do not specify the order of evaluation, doing so was an error. int B::f ( int i, int j = i + 1 ) { // j defaults to i + 1

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me with what I'm sure is a very simple problem...I just can't seem to find the syntax! I'm wanting to update the rows in 'tbl_consolidate' from 'tbl_hold', but working through the records in 'tbl_hold' in the order of dates in a date field, rather than the order that the rows are necessarily in. I came up with the following code to do this:

I have the view below and if I use vwRouteReference as the rowsource for a combo box in an MS Access form or run "SELECT * FROM vwRouteReference" in SQL Query Analyzer, the rows don't come through sorted by Numb. Everything I've read on the web suggests that including the TOP directive should enable ORDERY BY in views. Does someone have an idea why the sorting is not working correctly for this particular view? thanks. CREATE VIEW...

I have a form in A97 that requires many textboxes and comboboxes (about 300). The customer insists on seeing all the information on one form so I can't break it up into several forms. Neither they nor I want to use a tab control. Because of all this, the Tab Order control is quite inefficient at organizing the tab order. Even the trick of wiggling the mouse to the right and left while dragging a control or controls to the top or bottom...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
