It must have been even further back in versions that you needed it. I am
currently on Oracle 9i and I don't need to have my "Order By" field in the
select statement.

You did need that before but with Oracle 10 G I have noticed it is no longer
required to be in the select statement to order it by that..

my SQL for Dummies book says you need the order by field in the select part of
the statement too.
SELECT Generic_Categorization_Tier_1, Usage FROM CIS:HPD:Menu_Item_Ranking
WHERE (Generic_Categorization_Tier_1 != NULL) AND (Category_Status = 'Enabled')
AND (Category_Type = $1000002257$) ORDER BY Usage desc;

You should also put single quotes around $100002257$ and remove the semi-colon
at the end. Remedy will take care of that for you.

And when comparing null you use
IS NOT NULL
Or
IS NULL

OK, that makes sense, thanks. 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.

Rick,
Try this:
SELECT field1 FROM form ORDER BY field2 DESC;

Am looking to get some specific syntax on a SQL call ARS 7 to Oracle 9 that
would do the following:
Select field1 from Form order by field2 (field2 is int field. I want the sort
done highest value to lowest)
Thanks!
