Hello guys,
I have following sorting problem and need your help. When executing this SELECT statement:
"SELECT d.id, d.name, d.description, ts.name, d.opentimestamp, d.initialvalue, d.plmoney, d.performance, d.performancepa, d.currentopenmoney, d.investedmoney, d.investedpercent, d.cashmoney, d.realizedwinmoney, d.realizedlossmoney, d.currenttotalvalue, d.depotriskpercent, d.taxesratepercent, d.taxallowance, d.paidtaxes, d.paidfees FROM c_depots d INNER JOIN c_tradingsystems ts ON d.tradingsystem_id=ts.id INNER JOIN cx_users_depots cx ON cx.id_depots=d.id INNER JOIN c_users u ON cx.id_users=u.id WHERE u.login='xxxx' ORDER BY UPPER(CAST (d.currenttotalvalue AS numeric) ) DESC"
the resulting ordering is wrong:
(d.currenttotalvalue)
99999999999,99
9999999999,99
999999999,99
99999,99
100947,51
100251,14
100100
10000000000
10000000000
100000
I would expect:
99999999999,99
9999999999,99
10000000000
10000000000
999999999,99
99999,99
100947,51
100251,14
100100
100000
The column currenttotalvalue has a numeric type with a length of 14 and 2 digits for percision. The initial SELECT didn't used the CAST, but the result was also wrong.
I'm (still) using the postgres version 8.2.
Thanks for your support.
I'm just curious why do you use UPPER() function in the ORDER BY clause?
regards
Szymon
