Re: : Postgres order by into a RECORD, not ordering

RESOLVED.

It must be a bug in 7.3
I resolved the problem, by changing the FOR IN statement to FOR IN EXECUTE.
By changing the Statement into a string, it accommodated for the ORDER BY.

Thanks for all your responses.

Kind Regards,

Hi Again.

I hope you can explain this.
I have a stored procedure which does a query of a table using order by, into a RECORD.
The statement I mentioned earlier, is a FOR  IN.
the data stored into the RECORD, is not ordered by the columns specified, because when I loop through the record, the columns returned in the row are different, to when I manually do a Select query using order by.

I assumed this may have something to do with the index.

Is there any reason why this is so ?

Kind Regards,
Shaun Clements
