Re: ordering rows

Hi

I have a table 'import' which is an amalgam of two other tables
'loops' and 'devices'.

The ID column of loops is reflected in the import table. However the
order of rows ends up as, a for instance, 6, 8, 7, 4, 5 3, 2, 1.

These are the IDs from loops?

I need to fetch these rows one at a time, in sequence with the loop
ID, to process them in a delphi interface before going on to the next
row.

ORDER BY loops.id ASC

Query-

1. Can I somehow ensure that the rows are transfered to the import
table in numerical sequence with the ID of the loop table?

Ensure that *what* is transferred? The rows from imports? Do they have a foreign key pointing to loops?

2. Is there a method of using the fetch command to ensure that rows
are picked up sequentially - lowest ID to highest ID or vice-versa?

3. Is there another mehod of accomplishing this task other than
fetch?


Perhaps you should post your SELECT statement and a sample of the result you're getting (and a sample of what you desire to get wouldn't hurt).
