asp_databases thread: Sproc - dynamic ORDER BY clause


Message #1 by "Grant I" <giswim1@a...> on Thu, 16 Aug 2001 14:53:50
I'm using a Sybase database and I need to allow people to order the 

results of a query by a few different things of their choosing.  Unlike 

SQL Server, Sybase and Oracle databases do not allow for vairables in the 

ORDER BY clause.  Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do this?



Thanks!

FYI SQL Server does not support dynamic order by clauses.



For a dynamic order by clause build the string and execute it or use

conditional statements.
