-----------------------------------
Assignee: Bryan Pendleton
> "order by" is not supported for "insert ... select"
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-4
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SQL
> Reporter: Christian d'Heureuse
> Assigned To: Bryan Pendleton
> Priority: Minor
>
> When filling a table with "insert ... select ...", "order by" cannot be specified.
> There is not method to copy a table sorted into another table (except using export/import). This would be useful to optimize performance for big tables, or to create identity values that are ascending (related to another column).
> Example:
> create table temp1 (
> s varchar(10));
> insert into temp1 values 'x','a','c','b','a';
> create table temp2 (
> i integer not null
> generated always as identity
> primary key,
> s varchar(10));
> insert into temp2 (s)
> select s from temp1 order by s;
> --> Error: "order by" is not allowed.
> -- trying to use "group by" instead of "oder by":
> insert into temp2 (s)
> select s from temp1 group by s;
> select * from temp2;
> --> "group by" did not sort the table.
