Thanks for sharing, but what would be the approach when the ID column is of type string ?
ID
string
Hi Andrei, first off, thanks for reading the article. If you are concerned that DBMS might order by ID in a different way than what you expect.
In that case you can always go for custom collation. dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/ad....
A collation basically is set of rules used by DBMS to compare & sort strings. It is much like a comparator function you are used to in JS.
This way you can make your comparisons predictable & inline with your business needs.
Thank you very much!
