Does anyone know how an order by clause is performed server side ? What order algorithm do they use (merge, bucket, quick) ? Thanks
 
It depends on what DBMS you are using. Wny would you care?
 
just wondering really... Dont't suppose you know what Oracle uses ?
 
I know Oracle sorts in RAM upto the SORT_AREA_SIZE and then sorts in the Temp tablespace if larger than SORT_AREA_SIZE

no idea what algorythym

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
