That's exactly what I am trying to do... Thanks Don.
However, this brought me to another question. This is the query I am working on:
select * from (
select log_id, job_id, to_char(stamp, 'MM-DD HH:MI:SS') as stamp, log_msg
from cs_processing_log
where $job_id_condition
order by log_id desc
)
where rownum <= 10
order by log_id
In my tests PG does not seem to accept the outer select * from (). Am I correct?
In this particular case, would it seem plausible for me to rewrite this query as:
select log_id, job_id, to_char(stamp, 'MM-DD HH:MI:SS') as stamp, log_msg
from cs_processing_log
where $job_id_condition
order by log_id desc
limit 10
Thanks.
