I am using mysql and the following two sqls produce different result.
SELECT developers.* FROM "developers" ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1
SELECT developers.* FROM "developers" ORDER BY 'id DESC' LIMIT 1
I thought that quoting order by should not matter.
By quoting the order you are ordering by the literal string ‘id DESC’, which would indeed change the result, since it’s pretty meaningless – little different to saying ORDER BY 1
