sql - Ascending and Decending ORDER BY clauses in a single query -

-

i working on these problems class i"m taking, 1 has me stumped. here problem:

--using author table, write query list information authors --whose first name ends “a”. put results in descending order of last name, --and ascending order first name. should done using single query.

here i've come far:

select * author where(fname '%a') order lname desc, fname asc;

however in result information ordered last name descending. first name ascending doesn't seem work.

any thoughts on i'm missing? using oracle express 10g, if matters. thanks.

there nothing wrong query. have pay attention data :-) here how interpret data output:

--------------+-------------- zzz           | john zza           | adam  zaa           | bob ccc           | jack ccc           | john cca           | mike

so, ordering works instruct oracle - lname desc, fname acs, need realize fname asc comes in picture once lname desc processed. in other words: zzz comes before zza , once ccc ordered , jack comes before john .

php - render data via PDO::FETCH_FUNC vs loop -

-
i've been using 2 methods render data. the first one: function name($id,$name){ return '<div id="'.$id.'">'.$name.'</div>'; } echo implode($pdo->query("select id,name user")->fetchall(pdo::fetch_func,'name')); the second one: $users = $pdo->query("select id,name user")->fetchall(pdo::fetch_obj); foreach($users $user){ echo name($user->id,$user->name); } i don't understand how pdo::fetch_func works. tried figure out. however, not well-documented. could please explain fetch mode? , also, 1 performs better? thank you. both methods wrong , have learn how use templates , how separate business logic presentation logic. $users = $pdo->query("select id,name user")->fetchall(pdo::fetch_obj); tpl::assign('users', $users); is code business logic part. then in template <?php foreach $users $row): ?> <div id="<?=$...
