Question

I kinda lost with this simple query

Below is the query with date (SERVICE_DATE):

SELECT DISTINCT JOB_ID,
       SERVICE_DATE,
       GRAND_TOTAL,
       TYPE_INSERT,
       PAYMENT_ID
FROM   TBL_XXX
WHERE  USER_ID = 100
       AND PAYMENT_ID <> 0
ORDER  BY JOB_ID DESC;

And I got this result:

467 18/10/2012  16  Upload  527811
467 18/10/2012  16  Upload  527811
466 18/10/2012  4   Key-In  527806
465 18/10/2012  4   Key-In  527804
464 17/10/2012  24  Upload  527784
464 17/10/2012  24  Upload  527784
464 17/10/2012  24  Upload  527784

while this query without date (SERVICE_DATE)

SELECT DISTINCT JOB_ID,
       GRAND_TOTAL,
       TYPE_INSERT,
       PAYMENT_ID
FROM   TBL_XXX
WHERE  USER_ID = 100
       AND PAYMENT_ID <> 0
ORDER  BY JOB_ID DESC;

Result:

467 16  Upload  527811
466 4   Key-In  527806
465 4   Key-In  527804
464 24  Upload  527784

what Im missing here ?

Answer 1

Your service_date is a date wich contains a time part, but your IDE present only the date part.

To see the detalis you may change the preferences of your IDE for the format of date or use:

SELECT DISTINCT JOB_ID,
       to_char(SERVICE_DATE,'yyyy-mon-dd hh24:mi:ss'),
       GRAND_TOTAL,
...
