Subject Order Clause Tunning Problem
Author kick_tisho
Hi,

i have the following situation. Let's say i have the following
sample procedure.

CONTACTS_GET(:P_ORDER)

In it i have a query like this

FOR
SELECT
CASE :P_ORDER
WHEN 1 THEN NAME ELSE NULL
END,
CASE :P_ORDER
WHEN 2 THEN LASTUPDATED ELSE NULL
END,
ID
FROM CONTACTS
ORDER BY 1,2

so, when i have :P_ORDER = 1 it will order by name, and when i
have :P_ORDER = 2 it will order by lastupdated. The problem in this
scenario is that it won't use the indexes.

If somebody has a solution how to transform the query without using
DSQL, to preserve the logic, and to have indexed order i'll be
greatfull if he share it with me.

10x in advance,

Stanislav
