I have A Legacy system that runs on a SQL Server 2005.
Current table only have date column YYYYMMDD, it lacks for both a running sequence number and time.
Is it possible to select the a table and order by chronological? or in other words, sort the return result with records are sorted base on the date and time the record was created.
If you do not have any valid time information or other information – like a vector autonumbering (IDENTITY), which was not modified – then the general answer is NO
BUT
The devil is in the details – it depends on database engine you use.
