[ Resolved ] Union, Each Query W/ Own Order By

Oct 10, 2006

I am trying to combine 2 queries, each with their own 'order by' and I am having trouble.

This is just an example, not what I'm trying to do, my query is more elaberate but looks simular to this.

SELECT TOP 10 *, 'FieldA' AS SortedBy
FROM TableA
Order By FieldA Desc
UNION ALL
SELECT TOP 10 Precent *, 'FieldB' AS SortedBy
FROM TableA
Order By FieldB Asc


Anyway not to get the following error?
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 34
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'UNION'.

Query Multiple Tables - Union/Order By

Oct 25, 2007

Hi!

I'm trying to get the results from three different tables, where they have some of the same results. I'm only interested in where they match and then trying to order by date (that's in three columns - M, D, Y). I read previous post in 9/07 but the result doesn't seem to order correctly. It does not have any rhyme or reason to the outputed results as it bounces back and forth through Oct, Nov and Dec posting and throughout all three tables. Here's my query below. Any ideas how I can get my ordering correct for all three tables to display all Oct, all Nov and all Dec?

Thanks so much

select date3, date2, date1, who, what
from
(
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from shows
union
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from shares
union
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from soiree
)
a order by date3, date2, date1

Order Converted Dates In Union Query

Jun 15, 2006

I have the following as part of a union query:

CONVERT(CHAR(8), r.RRDate, 1) AS [Date]

I also want to order by date but when I do that it doesn't order correctly because of the conversion to char data type (for example, it puts 6/15/05 before 9/22/04 because it only looks at the first number(s) and not the year). If I try to cast it back to smalldatetime in the order by clause it tells me that ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION operator. I get the same message if I try putting just "r.RRDate" in the ORDER BY clause. It's not that big of a deal - I can lose the formatting on the date if I need to to get it to sort correctly, but this query gets used frequently and I'd like to keep the formatting if possible.

Thanks,

Dave

UNION ALL And ORDER BYs

Feb 27, 2008

Hi

I have two tables which I'm combining.

Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1
union all
Select CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2
order by startDt


This works fine, unfortunately, my problem is I only want to display the first latest customer. In a Union All, how do i distinguish whether I'm ordering the table it is trying to union or the actual unioned table tiself?

For example, this does not work.

Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1
union all
Select top 1 CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2
order by startDt desc
order by startDt

Dynamic ORDER BY And UNION

May 13, 2008

Hello,

I am trying to use dynamic ORDER BY with UNION in a stored procedure but I keep getting this error message:

ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator.

The ORDER BY works fine without the UNION, and the UNION works fine without the dynamic ORDER BY (just putting an ORDER BY works fine)

Here is the whole query in case this helps, thank you

Top Clause , Union And Order By

Dec 7, 2007

Hi,

I'm currently have a problem with a query using a top clause. When I run it by itself as a single query, I have no problems and the results are valid. However, if I try duplicate the query after a union clause, the order by ... desc doesn't order properly.

The following is the query I'm using along with the results. Then I'll have the query I was trying to unite and the results (date ranges selected were the same in both):

QUERY 1

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=?
and s.ldate<=?
and v.mdtid=20411

order by s.ldate desc


RESULTS 1

DATE MDT IDPU Odometer DO Odometer Total Miles
12/6/2007 2041112810.6 12874.5 63.9

QUERY 2 (with Union)

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=[From Date,Date]
and s.ldate<=[To Date,Date]
and v.mdtid=20411

Union

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=?

and v.mdtid=2642

order by s.ldate desc

RESULTS 2

1/2/2007 2642 193652.6193817 164.4

As you can see, the results are sorted very differently. Is there any way to have the order by apply to both queries?

Thanks!

Order By In Subquery + UNION

Jul 20, 2005

All,I've seen several posts regarding using UNION or UNION ALL to mashtogether two or more resultsets into a single result set, but can'tseem to find enough info here to help me answer my particularquestion.I have a stored procedure that gets the column names in a particularformat (i.e. "chassis_id"|"chassis_description"|"modify_date") as wellas actual data for a given table (in a quote-separated, pipe-delimitedmanner i.e. "1"|"description for the chassis"|"2004-09-08").I'd like to get both of these resultsets and mash them together. Thisworks, but when I need to order the second resultset (i.e. select *from chassis order by chassis_id), SQL Server returns an errorcomplaining about the chassis_id column name (invalid column name'chassis_id') in the Order By clause.From what I can tell, I'm using the UNION and Order By in correctly,but I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with it. If I take out the OrderBy, everything works great. Although I would like to be able to ordermy second resultset (in the same sproc) if possible.The actual queries I'm running are actually quite long, but here's onethat's a bit shorter to help illustrate:SELECT '"app_group_id"|"app_group_name"|"create_date"|"create_by"|"modify_date"|"modify_by"'UNION ALLSELECT + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar,app_group_id), '') + '|'+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 1))), 1,0)+ '"' + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar(1000), +REPLACE(CONVERT(nvarchar(4000),app_group_name), '"', '""')), '') +'"|'+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 2))), 1,0)FROM app_grouporder by app_group_idThank for any help on this./bc

ORDER BY In Subquery Of A UNION Fails ???

Mar 1, 2006

Hi all,

I have the following UNION ALL statement that is my attempt to gather data for the past 5 weekdays (adding a "dummy" row for today's data).

I want the final output to end up in descending order, so for today, I would want today first, then Tuesday, then Monday, then Friday, then Thursday (provided there is data for each sequential day - if not, you get the idea, I want to select back to get the latest 5 days, most recent to oldest).

This select fails, because it doesn't like the ORDER BY in the subqueryselect
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight
UNION ALL
(select top 4
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END as DOW,
CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight
from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc )

I know you can't use an ORDER BY in a subquery, UNLESS the subquery also uses a TOP n (which this one does)...but does anyone know why this isn't liking my code?

I got the select to work the way I want it to by doing the following (really UGLY) code...SELECT U.DOW, U.Freight FROM
((select
GETDATE() as [OrderDate],
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight )
UNION ALL
(select h.OrderDate as [OrderDate], h.DOW, h.Freight FROM
(select top 4
[OrderDate] as [OrderDate],
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END as DOW,
CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight
from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc ) H)) U
order by OrderDate descbut am still confounded about why my original sub-select is rejected with such impunity.

My confusion seems likely related to understanding the set theory or basic concepts of the building of the select/Union rather than the way I am using the ORDER BY syntax, but I just can't seem to explain it to myself.

Thoughts?
Thanks!

Order By In Union - Data In 2 Tables

Feb 10, 2015

This query works perfectly and orders by just as I need

Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID

[Code] ....

However, when I use it in a Union All so I can pull data from 2 diff tables, the order by statement no longer works. How can I order by data in 2 tables?

Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID

Writing Union Statement With 2 Order By's

Jun 20, 2008

Hi,

I'm trying to write a UNION statement with 2 selects and can't figure out for the life of me how to do it.


select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY dateJoined
UNION
select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY lastLogin

The union works fine without the order by's, but I really need the order by's in there and I don't understand why its so difficult to do. Surely there must be some other strategy?


Any help is much appreciated.. thanks!!

RESOLVED RESOLVED An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File &&<file String&&> Failed &&>&&>&&> But ONLY After SSE Reinstall

Sep 16, 2007

RESOLVED RESOLVED RESOLVED

DOH! When I rebuilt the OS, I changed the data partition ID's, and didn't remember to change them in the connetion strings

Not great, but better than continuing to bang head against wall.

Would like to say to MS appreciators that the VS2005 reinstall actually went quite well, considering.

===========================================================================





I built an app, works fine. Had the development environment working fine (VS2005 (SP0) and SQL Server Express). It had been stable for months, no problem.


Then I had to reinstall XP Pro...(finally threw too many conflicting programs into it, I guess...)


I managed to get VS2005 reinstalled ok. However, when I opened and compiled my existing app in VS2005, using Cassini, I got the dreaded error:

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <file string> failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I also get this error for the compiled copy of the app on the same machine, running on IIS. (Where it also previously worked fine).


The Connection strings are all of the form

connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=(specific file string).MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"


I appreciate that there are zillions of posts on this issue. I'm hoping that someone might know why this should happen in this particular case.


The thing that's different about this case is that the app was working fine; I have the app deployed on a demo machine and also on a remote server as well as on the development machine.


The only thing that changed is that there was this fresh install of SQL Server Express.


I tried using >> sp_configure user instances enabled','1';RECONFIGURE <<< in SSMSEE, which took, but didn't help.


So something is different in SSE. Since the app is stable everywhere else, I REALLY don't want to go through and adjust the connection strings...MUCH better to figure out what SSE needs to be happy with the existing connection strings...as it was before.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT----TRIED SOME THINGS:




Changed folder and file permissions to allow ASPNET full access to the .mdf's and log files (though never had to do this before on the development machine.) No change...

Can see the table contents within the .mdf through SSMSE, and also through Server Explorer in VS2005.

So because the problem happens with both IIS and Cassini, I'm assuming it's got to be an issue between ASPNET and SSE.

EDIT --- TRIED SOME MORE THINGS:

I dimly remember that when I had this problem before, it was that the error message was too "dumb". It wasn't my file that had the permissions problems, it was that the SSE System Databases had to have permissions with respect to ASPNET.

I tried to set that up but I'm a complete newb on this area, so I don't know if I did it right. In SSMSE I created a Login for MyComputer/ASPNET, and gave it all permissions and roles, and then made it an owner for the four system databases...but no joy.

Any pointers on this last piece would be helpful.

EDIT - MORE INFO

The error details

[SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <filestring>.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.]

What Looks Like A Basic SQL Query Still Not Resolved

Nov 23, 2005

ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!Please can you help, I'm going round the bend with this.I have a simple and small table called STOCKCATS, which I need to query toget back a dataset in a particular order, but although it looks simple Ican't get it to work. My table schema plus sample data to see the problemis as follows:DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `STOCKCATS`;CREATE TABLE `STOCKCATS` (`CATID` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',`LEVEL` varchar(30) default NULL,PRIMARY KEY (`CATID`),KEY `indxCATEGORYID` (`CATID`));INSERT INTO `STOCKCATS` (`CATID`,`LEVEL`) VALUES('A001',''),('A002','A001'),('A003','A001'),('A004','A001'),('A005','A001'),('PCHW01',''),('MHW01',''),('FD01',''),('ELEC01',''),('MHW02','MHW01');INSERT INTO `STOCKCATS` (`CATID`,`LEVEL`) VALUES('MHW03','MHW01'),('MHW04','MHW01'),('MHW05','MHW01'),('PCHW02','PCHW01'),('PCHW03','PCHW01'),('PCHW04','PCHW01'),('PCHW05','PCHW01'),('PCSW01',''),('MSW01',''),('C001',''),('C002','C001'),('C003','C001'),('MV',''),('SUZ','MV'),('ALF','MV'),('PLASMA','ELEC01'),('T01','ELEC01'),('HEATING',''),('RAD','HEATING'),('P01',''),('B01','P01'),('BB','HEATING'),('FS','HEATING'),('WM','HEATING'),('AEROSOL',''),('SOLVENTS','AEROSOL'),('DGC','');INSERT INTO `STOCKCATS` (`CATID`,`LEVEL`) VALUES('DGXWINDOWS','DGC'),('DGXEXTRA','DGC'),('DGXCON','DGC');As you can see from the table structure, this table consists of 2 fieldvalues. The 1st is the category code and the 2nd is the level is at. If acatid has a level of nothing, eg '', then it means that it is a root levelcategory. If a catid has a another cat's catid in it's level, eg B01 hasP01, then it is a sub-category of this category, eg B01 is a sub-cat of P01.All I want to do is query this table and bring back the data so thatalphabetically it goes root level cat A1, then all the sub-cats for thisroot level, then root level A2, then all sub-cats for this root level and soon. An example using the above would be as follows:^ ^ A to G of root level cats plus their sub-cats....HEATING << root levelBB << sub-cat of heatingFS << sub-cat of heatingWM << sub-cat of heating/ / I to Z of root level cats plus their sub-cats....A few posters kindly gave me a solution of ORDER BY COALESCE(CATID,LEVEL),CATID and I thought this had done it, but I was looking at the ('A001',''),('A002','A001'), ('A003','A001'), ('A004','A001'), ('A005','A001')entries as these naturally fell into place. If you use this order commandon the above you will see that ('P01','') and it's associated ('B01','P01')sub-cat just don't come together.Does any body have any ideas?ThanksLaphan

Union Query Help

Mar 27, 2006

I need help with a union query.  My table structure is as follows:
OffierID (key field)
CaseFileID 
CurrentOffer
PrevOffer

There table can have multiple entries per CaseFileID.   
I need a query that will tell the highest value in Current Offer or
PrevOffer for each CaseFileID.  I have a union query that combines
CurrentOffer and PrevOffer and then selects the top value for a
specific CaseFileID; however, I want to have a complete list of
CaseFileIDs with one value for PrevOffer.  My current query is as
follows:

SELECT TOP 1 Offer FROM
(
select CurrentOffer as PrevOffer
FROM tblOffers
WHERE tblOffers.CaseFileID = @CaseFileID AND CurrRank <> 1
UNION
select PrevOffer as PrevOffer
FROM tblOffers
WHERE tblOffers.CaseFileID = @CaseFileID
) tmp
ORDER BY 1 desc

How can I get this to work for all CaseFiles?  Thanks for your help.

UNION Query

Aug 9, 2004

Hi gusy, this is the first time I am trying to use "Union" query. I am trying to create a view(linking and taking data from 3 tables) so I can create a crosstab report out of it.

Basically one table contains about 12 fields and I am trying to grab data from all of them is they are not null.So this is my query,but when it executes it only dispalys result from the first query,what am I doing wrong.

SELECT dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RemovalistNumber, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.SupplierID,
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarInsurance
FROM dbo.RelocateeRemovalist INNER JOIN
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts ON dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID = dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.RelocateID
WHERE (dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarInsurance IS NOT NULL)
UNION
SELECT dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RemovalistNumber, dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.SupplierID,
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarTransport
FROM dbo.RelocateeRemovalist INNER JOIN
dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts ON dbo.RelocateeRemovalist.RelocateID = dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.RelocateID
WHERE (dbo.RelocateeRemovalistAmounts.CarTransport IS NOT NULL)

Thanks

A WHERE In A Union Query

Apr 22, 2004

Hi, i have a union query that lists all the years from a date field and add the currentyer if its not already listed:

SELECT DISTINCT Cas Yearlist
FROM dbo.ViewPressReleases UNION SELECT datepart(yyyy, getdate())
ORDER BY DatePart(yyyy,[PressreleaseDate])

what i need to do is filter it with something along the lines of:

WHERE Yearlist LIKE myvariable

although i know i cant simply use:

WHERE Yearlist

it would have to be something like:

WHERE DatePart(yyyy,[PressreleaseDate]) UNION datepart(yyyy, getdate()) LIKE myvariable


Does anyone know how to write this correctly?

Union With Sub Query

Jul 23, 2005

I've been trying to do a union with a subquery - I've made a differentexample which follows the same principles as follows:First bit brings back accounts which are in the top 10 to 15 by accountname.Second bit brings back accounts which are in the bottom 10 to 15 byaccount name.I want to union the two result sets together. These selects work asthey are, but don't when i take the comment away from the unionoperator.select top 5 c1.accountnofrom tbl_customer c1where c1.accountno not in(select top 10 c2.accountnofrom tbl_customer c2order by c2.accountName asc)order by c1.accountName asc--union allselect top 5 c1.accountnofrom tbl_customer c1where c1.accountno not in(select top 10 c2.accountnofrom tbl_customer c2order by c2.accountName desc)order by c1.accountName descSo my problem is really about how to have an order by in a sub querywhich is then used in a main query which is then unioned with anotherquery - SQL Server doesn't seem to like that combination of things. Anyclues anyone?Cheers,NAJH
