Hi,
I have a query where I UNION several select statements which return
IDs of type INTEGER.
This works well, if the IDs don't need to be sorted:
SELECT id FROM table WHERE id IN ((select id FROM table WHERE ...) UNION (SELECT id FROM table_ WHERE ....))
However I need the result the UNIONs to be sorted, so I tried the following:
SELECT id FROM table WHERE id IN (SELECT col0 FROM ((select id FROM table WHERE ...) UNION (SELECT id FROM table_ WHERE ....)) AS col0 ORDER BY col0 OFFSET X LIMIT Y)
FEHLER: Operator existiert nicht: integer = record
ERROR: Operator does not exist: integer = record
LINE 1: Select id FROM table WHERE id IN (Select col0 FROM ...
Is there any way to get the results of UNIONs sorted, without
converting it to record?
Thanks, Clemens
PS: I know the query looks really stupid, however the queries I UNION
are auto-generated SQL.
I don't have much choice here to write the query more efficient :/
does this work for you?
select u.id from (your unions) as u order by u.id
