Order By Date Question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a question about ordering by date. I have a table with two fields and
some date

Name(character varying)  |  Event_Date(timestamp with timezone)
A                                  |    2009-09-10 5:30:00
B                                  |    2009-09-10- 00:00:00
C                                  |    2009-09-11 17:30:00
D                                  |  2009-09-11  07:30:00


I want to order by date and then by name, so I want the result A,B,C,D. The
problem is when I do a 'SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY Event_Date, DESC',
it includes the actual time (HH:MM:SS) so the order comes out B,A,D,C.

So what I am asking is how do I order only by the date? YYYY-MM-DD?
