071-140 题目：
SELECT department_id "DEPT_ID", department_name, ‘b‘ FROM departments
WHERE department_id=90 UNION
SELECT department_id, department_name DEPT_NAME, ‘a‘ FROM departments
WHERE department_id=10
Which two ORDER BY clauses can be used to sort output?
A. ORDER BY DEPT_NAME;
B. ORDER BY DEPT_ID;
C. ORDER BY ‘b‘;
D. ORDER BY 3;
Correct Answer: BD
(解析：通过实验发现别名必须是用双引号概括起来的才可以用来排序;而且发现取了别名(别名用双引号概括)的列的名字也不能用来排序;没有用双引号概括起来的别名的列名可以用来排序;order by 3，可以根据显示的列的顺序进行排序。
注意 union 排序的的时候 order by 要写在语句的最后;发现只能在第一条 select 语句中的列进行排序。)
SQL> select empno "CUST_NO",ename "LAST NAME",‘a‘ FROM emp
2 UNION
3 SELECT EMPNO ,ENAME,‘b‘ FROM emp
4 ORDER BY empno;
ORDER BY empno

第 4 行出现错误:
ORA-00904: "EMPNO": 标识符无效
