BCP Export With Ordered Data
Sep 13, 2000
I need to export data in a specific order (e.g. the order in which the data was inserted into the table). My BCP was doing this then just started exporting in random order. I know that SQL 7 doesn't guarantee return order unless specified by an ORDER BY clause. However, that's not possible with BCP unless you use the command line BCP with the QUERYOUT option. That's my problem. I'm using the BulkCopy object in DMO and I don't see an option to order the data or use a query with an order by statement. Any suggestions?

How can I create a function that returns hierarchical data from a table with this structure:
- CategoryID
- CategoryName
- CategoryFather
I want to bring the result set like this...
CategoryID | CategoryName | CategoryFather | HierarchicalLevel
1 | Video | 0 | 0
2 | DivX | 1 | 1
3 | WMV | 1 | 1
4 | Programming | 0 | 0
5 | Web | 4 | 1
6 | ASP.Net | 5 | 2
7 | ColdFusion | 5 | 2
How can I do this? Does anybody has a sample code? I need this on SQL Server 2000 and if it's possible (but not too necessary) in SQL Server 2005.
Thanks.

Hello Experts. You may have more luck at this than me.
I am interested in finding the quantity of items that were ordered alone. I have an orderid field and a product field. So the count of the orderid has to equal one and the have them grouped by product.
Example of how data looks like
I am looking for transactions like orderid 3 and 5.
OrderID
Product
1
hotdog
1
burger
1
taco
2
burrito
2
snack
2
chips
3
burger
4
hotdog
4
burger
4
taco
5
burrito
6
snack
6
chips
When i run
SELECT product, count(orderid)
From Table
Where BusinessDateID = 20060725
group by product
having (count(orderid)=1)
I only get back items that were only sold once.
I am looking for a result that looks like this
Product
Ordered alone
hotdog
2
burger
3
taco
4
burrito
32
snack
12
chips
76

Hi all,
I feel like I'm missing something really simple here...
I'm trying to write an sp to return a list of countries alphabetically to populate a web drop-down list in a form. However, since most people using the form will be from USA, I want "USA" to appear as the first row, then the rest should be alphabetical, e.g. ("USA", "Afghanistan", "Albania"... "Zimbabwe")
I'm using a UNION query, but it's ordering the result set so that USA appears alphabetically, not as the first row. I'm not using an ORDER BY clause.
Here's the code I'm using:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetCountries AS
SELECT Country_Name
FROM Countries
WHERE Country_Name = 'USA'
UNION
SELECT Country_Name
FROM Countries
WHERE Country_Name <> 'USA'
GO
I also tried selecting into a temp table and doing a UNION that way, but got the same results.

We have a 10 digit primary key value in this format: M000123456. Theorder for this key is first determined by positions 3 and 4 in thisexample, then positions 1 and 2. So a brief sample of correct orderingwould look like this:M000001501M000011501M000021501M000001601M000011601M000021601Now my question: how can I use a BETWEEN (or > and <) in my WHEREclause to get a range of values for this column? I use the followingORDER BY clause to control how the results are sorted, but I can't getthe same logic to work with BETWEEN in a WHERE clause.ORDER BY SUBSTRING(<fieldname>, 7, 2), SUBSTRING (<fieldname>, 5, 2)How do I return values between M000011501 and M000011601 for example?

I€™m trying to follow examples from: http://www.sqlmag.com/Articles/ArticleID/49240/49240.html?Ad=1 for an update statement that needs to run in a specified order.
Here€™s my problem:
I have a table:
TopicActivity
PK €“ DayNum int (this is a date in YYYYDDD format)
PK €“ TopicId int
Visits int
LifetimeVisits int
LifetimeVisits is a new column that I want to calculate the value using the previous Visits column data.
Sample Data:
DayNum TopicId Visits LifetimeVisits
2008001 1 5 0
2008002 2 1 0
2008002 1 3 0
2008003 1 10 0
I want the end result to look like this:
DayNum TopicId Visits LifetimeVisits
2008001 1 5 5
2008002 2 1 1
2008002 1 3 8
2008003 1 10 18
Here is the query I€™ve been trying:
WITH ordered AS
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY TopicId ORDER BY DayNum) AS RowNum
FROM TopicActivity
)
update ordered set
ordered.LifetimeVisits = ordered.Visits +
isnull((select o2.LifetimeVisits
from ordered as o2
where o2.TopicId = ordered.TopicId
and o2.RowNum = (ordered.RowNum - 1)),0)
The update doesn€™t seem to be happening in order as LifetimeVisits seems to have random results every time I run the query. (Usually the first couple of rows are right. I€™m dealing with thousands of records) I can€™t use a cursor as the query takes way to long.
I'm running SQL Server 2005.

hi,
i am a newcomer and a freshman in asp.net. i am now writing a web-based system for SME as my final year project. i am going to use sql server and asp.net in C# to perform my final year project.
as asp.net is new for me, i would have some simple problems to ask.
1. in the project, i would like the system can automatically generate the enquiry number for each new order input to the system. for example today is 05 July 2006, the enquiry number would like 2006211xxxx, where 2006 is year, 211 is the day count start from 1 Jan and xxxx is the random number/ ordered number. how can i implement this? i even don't know how to generate the ordered number. could anyone help me
2. if there is an unknown test sample in each order input. as the sample number for each order is different, how can i set a flexible table that can have different number of rows for user to input the test result.
thanks
Rgds, universe

Installed the Northwind database for data to practice with. I'm trying to combine data from several tables to make the orders table more readable. Meaning, I'm trying to replace the EmployeeID field with the combination of the firstname and lastname fields from the Employees table. Everything works fine until I try to sum the Unit price field from the [Order Details] table. Using just a SUM() function or the Select statement below causes the error and any combination of fields in the Group By command don't correct it. It's clear that I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not sure how to get the data I want or use the group by command properly. Query below:
Select o.OrderID, c.companyName, e.firstname + ' ' + e.lastname EmployeeName, o.orderdate, s.companyName,
o.Freight, o.shipName, o.ShipAddress, (Select Sum(od.UnitPrice) from [Order Details] od where od.OrderID = o.OrderID)as Amount
from orders o, customers c, Employees e, Shippers s, [Order Details] od
where o.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
[Code] ....
Running the first query (with the select statement) works, but returns a row for each of the the items that was ordered for that OrderID and NOT using the Group By. I would like to have the SUM() of the items ordered in one row. Is this possible?

When a nonunique nonclustered index is built on top of a clusteredindex, is it guaranteed that the bookmark in the nonclustered indexwill be kept in the same order as the clustered index?Here's an example to demonstrate my question:CREATE TABLE indextest (col1 int NOT NULL,col2 int NOT NULL,col3int,col4 int)ALTER TABLE indextest ADD PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (col1,col2)CREATE INDEX ix_indextest ON indextest (col1,col3)GOINSERT indextest VALUES (1,2,1,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (1,3,2,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (1,4,2,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (2,1,1,1)INSERT indextest VALUES (1,1,1,1)SELECT col1,col2 FROM indextest WHERE col1=1 AND col3=1DROP TABLE indextestThe select statement above is covered by the nonclustered index, sothat index is used. However, the nonclustered index is defined only toensure the ordering of col1 and col3 within the index; col1 and col2follow within the index as the bookmark to the clustered index. When Irun this query, my desired result is to have the records appear in theorder supported by the clustered index:1,11,2As it happens, the result I got was indeed in that order, but I don'tknow if it was mere coincidence, or if the bookmark in the nonclusteredindex is maintained in the same order as the clustered index. If Iwant to ensure the above order, is it sufficient to have thenonclustered index defined as above, or do I need to define it as:create index ix_indextest on indextest (col1,col3,col2)just to be sure that the results are returned in ascending order forcol1,col2? If the two-column index is sufficient, is it guaranteed tostill be sufficient in SQL2005 and future versions of SQL Server, or amI better off adding the third column just to be safe?Thank you,--Dennis Culley

I would like to do a SELECT query and have the return set ordered by the order which the rows are physically stored in the table.
Specifically, something like:
Select a.*, b.normalizedColumn
FROM table a
JOIN table b
(a.id = b.id)
ORDER BY "Physical order of table a rows"
I believe if there is a clustered index on the table, I can just order by that index and it SHOULD be the physical order of the table.
(I would like to see this as I am generating mock data and would like to verify the "randomness" of the data inserted).

How do you all recommend storing ordered pairs in SQL Server 2005? I plan to add one record for every data point but this will generate many records and requires an extra field to relate the points together. Are there any better ways to do this? Can the data still be searchable or does it have to be unpacked first?

Ive been playing with this for a few days and thought I might thow itout for seggestions.I have Several Queries that need counts returnedThe Queries are Mutually Exclusive meaning whatever Query they returnin first they cannot be included in the counts of any queries belowthem.This set of queries for exampleSelect ID From Customers where FIRST_NAME = 'Chris' (would return say150)Select ID From Customers where ST='OH' (This would retunr say 50, BUTRun alone it might return 70, however 20 of those were in the firstQuery so they arent to be retunred in this result set.The total for Bot Queries would be 200But If I reverse it like soSelect ID From Customers where ST='OH' (This now returns 70)Select ID From Customers where FIRST_NAME = 'Chris' (This now returns130)The total of course for BOT Queries is 200 but I dont need that total Ineed the total for EACH Query depending on its orderingWhat I need are the single counts depending on the order in which thequeries are runIt seems like a recursion problem, but It might go past 32 level so Icant use recursive SQL ( I dont think )I've thought of (or tried to think how to use Not In, Not Exist, etcbut still dosent come up with the results....)How Can I grab the counts for each Query ?Chris

Greetings,
I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.
How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC
END
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index]
END
Thanks

Background: In my current company the business users maintain a huge quantity of master data using excel. Then a series of SSIS jobs are edited and manually executed.
Goal: the challenge is to replace this process using MDS. One of the requested features is the possibility for the users to edit or insert new master data using the Web UI or the Excel Add-in and when they are done perform a merge of the master data in the target, in this case in the reporting DB.
The perfect solution for me is something like trigger the execution of a SSIS package to export the data from the subscription views to the reporting DB after the business rules are apply to a specific entity.

I Have a problem when copying data from one server to another in Management studio, I need to create and exact copy of the original because of primary key relationships,
Currently when I export the data the data will run through an insert type statement, which means that all PKs are reissued, rather than being duplicated from the original, How can I be sure that the data will be copied exactly how it is on one server to the other.

As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC.
Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS
showID
showTitle
SHOWACCESS
showID
remoteID
VIDEOS
videoDate
showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle,
(SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID)
FROM shows, showAccess
WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID
AND showAccess.remoteID=21
ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate.
Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
thanks

What is the best way to do the following.....
I want to publish a database on the web and enable to end users to click a button on the web page which will export the data from a table into an Excel spreadsheet which is then saved onto the user's machine.
Is this possible with SQL Server 7 (dts/sp/???) or do I need to use other technologies (maybe something like COM?)
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated (even better if u can provide coding hints/samples)

Hi All,
I want to develop a small tool to export data from a database (SQL Server and Oracle). I have to export full tables or part of tables depending on an SQL statement.
My first idea is to use ADO. I open a recordset on the table (adCmdTable) and I call the Save method to save the recordset in a file. But, when I open the recordset, it takes a long time ... I suppose that ADO performs a " select * from table " to retreive all the lines ... It's too long for me because some tables have more then 10 millions of lines !!!
Do you known if it's possible to open a table without any "select" (just open and save) ? Do you kown others solutions ? I can develop with DO or ADO.Net.
Thanks in advance for your help.
François.

Hi
I am using CSV (comma delimeted file) for exporting data from sql server table to CSV and then import to sql server from the CSV.
Now I have a problem, I could sucessfully export the data to CSV, but one of the field which has whole html for each product is giving me problem, It wouldnt save in one cell as for other data items in a record are. If I remove that field, the rest of records are exported okay, but with this one, it do export, but the data wouldnt go to one cell of the excel file and hence wouldnt work in importing to sql. I guess some tags in the string is creating problem plus also what should I do if the string already have comma as data, and we use comma as delimiting character.
Any kind of help greatly appreciated
EDIT:
Below is a sample of html thats already saved in one field but wouldnt come to one excel cell when exported to CSV...
