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]
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' INTO AuxiliaryTable FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01 SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810 8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760 22810
Is there any good suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.
I am very new to Transact-SQL programming and don't have a programmingbackground and was hoping that someone could point me in the rightdirection. I have a SELECT statement SELECT FIXID, COUNT(*) AS IOIsand want to ORDER BY 'IOI's'. I have been combing through the BOL, butI don't even know what topic/heading this would fall under.USE INDIISELECT FIXID, COUNT(*) AS IOIsFROM[dbo].[IOI_2005_03_03]GROUP BY FIXIDORDER BY FIXIDI know that it is a simple question, but perhaps someone could assistme.Thanks,
I have to Select Order, Order Details and Order Status
Order Status is determined from Order Stage as follows:
If, at least one order detail line(from Order Details and Related Order details table) is approved, that Order status=Approved.
For the example, Order Status of Order ID=2, is Approved based on order status for order details lines 3(from table 2) and order details ID 1 and 2 (from table 3)
How to combined order stage from table 2 and table 3 and then compute order status.
select col1, col2, col3, col4, col5,..... , (select col99 from tab2) as alias1 from tab1 where <condition> order by case @sortby when 'col1' then col1, when 'col2' then col2, when 'col3' then col3, when 'col99' then col99 end
when i execute the above query it gives me the following error message.
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Invalid column name 'col99'.
The stored procedure, below, results in this error when I try to compile...
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertImportedReportData, Line 69 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.
However the select statement itself runs perfectly well as a query, no errors.
The T-SQL manual says you can't use the keywords COMPUTE, COMPUTE BY, FOR BROWSE, and INTO in a cursor select statement, but nothing about plain old ORDER BYs.
What gives with this?
Thanks in advance R.

This query demonstrates a problem I have run across:
USE AdventureWorks
GO
-- This query works fine.
SELECT DISTINCT FirstName AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName
GO
-- This query also works fine.
SELECT ISNULL(FirstName, '') AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName
GO
-- This query returns error 145
SELECT DISTINCT ISNULL(FirstName, '') AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName
GO
The last query returns the error "ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified". It will work if I change ORDER BY to use "Name1" instead of "FirstName", but in the situation I have at hand, the query is generated by third-party software and I don't have the ability to change it. Can anyone explain why what's going on here? Oddly, this same query will work if I run it against SQL Server 2000.

Hi, i have a doubt, can a column have the value of a select? I mean, i'm making a photo gallery and on the categories table i need to know how many photos i have, so i need to count in the table photos the ones associated with the id of the category, the problem is that i'm listing categories with a datalist, is there a way so that a column on the categories table have the result of the count? Thanks in advance, if you don't understood my question feel free to ask me again and i'll try to explain it better, i really need this.
I am trying to create a new column 'COL_4' and, in the same step, create a case statement off of the new col. I know that the code below will not execute. I realize that I could get ride of COL_4 in my code below and concatonate but I need to keep Col_4 in the output.
SELECT COL_1 ,COL_2 ,COL_3 ,COL_4 = COL_1 + COL_2 ,COL_5 = CASE WHEN COL_1 THEN 'SOMETHING' END FROM TABLE_1 ;

In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say Select OrderId from Order. But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.
The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.
I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:
SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent FROM Agents;
I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.
Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!

I want to add a custom column in a select statement that has a value to true or false based on other criteria.
SELECT [ID], [Name], [Description], [EmpID], [Employed] FROM [Employees]
Now, in the above example there is no [Employed] Column in my table but I want it to show true or false based on whether or not [EmpID] equals a certain value.
the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.
I was hoping a simple "delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"
would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?
this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.
Along with the data that I am pulling back from query, I also need to provide an ImportID column with the following requirements:
YYMMDDGP0001, YYMMDDGP0002, YYMMDDGP0003, and so on. The 0001, 0002, and 0003 part could get big into the hundreds of thousands.
I have the YYMMDDGP part down with the following expression:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 12) + 'GP' AS [ImportID]
Now I need to get the Auto Incrementing number part of this. I have been researching this trying SELECT INTO a temp table using the Identity Function and declaring different variables all with no luck.
I have a temp table that hosts data from a MDX query, I want to select a column from that table by passing in a parameter and then insert to a new table.
Here's the table structure, let's call it #temp
[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION], [Measures].[Gross Sales] Bike, 200 Accessory , 100
I have a table in the DB created as [ProductSales]
Here's what works for me:
insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales) Select convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 03].[Member_CAPTION]") as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales' From #temp
But in reality the product level is not always on level 03, I want to define a parameter @Product and pass it to the select list.
Here's what I tried to do:
Declare @Product varchar(500) = convert(varchar(20), "[Product].[Product Hierarchy].[level 01].[Member_CAPTION]") Declare @SQL varchar(MAX) SET @SQL='insert into [ProductSales](Product, Sales) Select '+@Product+' as 'Product' , convert(decimal(18,2), [Measures].[Data]) as 'Sales' From #temp' Exec @SQL
But it threw me error, what is the right way to do it, is it because the double quote or single quote thing?

Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.
The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries
Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records?
btw I have used this statement
SET IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable
ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...
I have a table which has a field called Org. This field can be segmented from one to five segments based on a user defined delimiter and user defined segment length. Another table contains one row of data with the user defined delimiter and the start and length of each segment. e.g.
Table 1
Org
aaa:aaa:aa
aaa:aaa:ab
aaa:aab:aa
Table 2
delim
Seg1Start
Seg1Len
Seg2Start
Seg2Len
Seg3Start

My objective is to use SSIS and derive three columns from the one column in Table 1 based on the positions defined in Table 2. Table 2 is a single row table. I thought perhaps I could use the substring function and nest the select statement in place of the parameters in the derived column data flow. I don't seem to be able to get this to work.
Any ideas? Can this be done in SSIS?
I'd really appreciate any insight that anyone might have.
Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like:
rowtype| ID | value A | 123 | alpha B | 123 | beta C | 123 | delta A | 124 | some val B | 124 | some val 2 C | 124 | some val 3 etc...
where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values.
I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table.
i.e. each ID iteration will do something like: insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta') etc..
After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable
Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005
