I think I'm close, but would like someone with more knowledge than I to take a look at my conversion and tell me why it's not working. Here's the original in a Query menu: (Selecting Tier 1 of a Category/Type/Item) ( 'Generic Categorization Tier 2' = $1000000745$) AND ( 'Generic Categorization Tier 1' = $1000000744$) AND ( 'Generic Categorization Tier 3' != $NULL$ ) AND ( 'Category Status' = "Enabled") AND ( 'Category Type' = $1000002257$) I am attempting to add the Order by qualification and do it from a SQL menu. Here's what I have so far: SELECT Generic_Categorization_Tier_1 FROM CIS:HPD:Menu_Item_Ranking WHERE (Generic_Categorization_Tier_1 != NULL) AND (Category_Status = 'Enabled') AND (Category_Type = $1000002257$) ORDER BY Usage desc; I get an error saying ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
