I am in the process of converting an SQLite database to mySQL. The SQLIte db includes several views with ORDER BY clauses that have always returned qualifying rows in the correct order.
I am discovering that in mySQL issuing a SELECT statement against these same views works fine in terms of the order in which the rows are returned if the SELECT does not include a WHERE clause but if I include a WHERE claus, the view's ORDER BY clause is ignored and the rows are returned in seemingly random order. Searching around the web suggests that this behavior is accepted as correct in mySQL although I haven't been able to find a justification for it and it seems to me that the SQLite behavior is correct. Does anyone know what the official SQL specification has to say on this topic, if anything?
