- Is there any guarantee of the order of records after doing several inserts
- to table, and then doing a "select *" from the table (ie., no "order by")?
- I've always understood that there can be no guarantee, but I can't find any-
- thing in the manuals to support/dispute this, and I'm waiting for a call back
- from Sybase Tech Support. For some reason, I feel like I'll get the answer here
- faster...
-
- I'm dealing with data coming from an IBM mainframe, and the arrangement of
- the returned data must be preserved (I know, I know...at least it's not a
- punch card system :-). After stuffing it into a temp table, it doesn't
- appear to preserve the order. Is there some way this can be accomplished?
