No. If you need an order than you need an ORDER BY in the
SELECT-Statement.

Fine. I can use order by when I want  to order it in terms of some columns. But What if I want to maintain the same order as in the database1? ie., I want my rows of TableABC in Database2 to be the same order as the rows in TableABC in Database 1 ???
