i decide this weekend to upgrade to the latest stable version from an
8.1.4 . Upgrade went smootly, as usual, but today, i've got some
phonecalls of something weird. The query is as follows :
registratie=# select * from module_info where type_module_id = 1;
i combine this with the next query in a subquery
The resulting query , which should return the same result as the first one
Here's where I think you're wrong.
registratie=# select * from module_info where type_module_id in
(select * from get_parent_type_modules(1));
The order is completely ignored, although there is an order by in the view
'module_info'
You're applying a where clause to the output of your view - filtering it
after the sort is done. If that filter is e.g. by a hash then the result
will be in a different order (or at least might be).
In general, the only ORDER BY you can rely on is one applied to the
final results of your SELECT.
