Does Declare Dynamic Cursor Support with Order Clause?

Question

Given a dynamic cursor like
     declare CUR_10 dynamic cursor for SQLSA;
     prepare SQLSA from :ls_SQL;
     open dynamic CUR_10;
     do while TRUE
          fetch CUR_10 into :ls_var1, :ls_var2
     loop
where ls_SQL is "select COL1, COL2 from TABLE_A order by COL2 desc"
can I fetch values in the exact DESCENDING order of COL2?

Answer 1

Hello Ronald,
Values will be fetched in the way you SQL statement has been defined for your dynamic cursor, so in the descending order.
I've tested your code with an Oracle connection and it works perfectly.
Just ensure to add a condition to your DO WHILE statement when the resultset is exhausted:
DO WHILE TRUE AND SQLCA.SQLCode <> 100
Kind regards,
Jacob
