Ladies and Gentlemen, after a bigger Query with a SORT BY statement aborted , i found out , that my 'sort-buffer'-variable had to be bigger. Everything worked fine then , but i now read in Paul DuBois great book , that it is not recommended to make this variable to big. Please advise me , what is a propper size for that variable , to sort tables with up to 4 million rows doing this:
SELECT * FROM T1 ORDER BY ZIP_code , Last_Name , First_Name I think I overtuned a bit with 10M. thank you Klaus P.S. Thank you for correcting my misunderstandings with that funny spam-filter , that was a bit confusing for my rather simple brains.
