> support of nulls first / last in order clause
> "NULLS LAST" is part of the SQL 99 standard. 
> The syntax is as follows: 
> ORDER BY [COLUMN NAME] [ASC | DESC] [NULLS FIRST | NULLS LAST] 
> In different DBs, the sorting of nulls relative to other values is handled differently. 
> PostgreSQL - Nulls are considered HIGHER than non-nulls. 
> DB2 - Higher 
> MSSQL - Lower 
> MySQL - Lower 
> Oracle - Higher 
> The following DBs have supported this functionality: 
> DB2 V7 
> Oracle 9i 
> PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLServer do not appear to support this from what I can gather.
