Can You Use Column Order Value In Select Statement

Nov 6, 2005

Is there a shortcut to spelling out column names when you are doing a select statement?

For instance could you write Select 1, 5, 6 from table where whatever...

I tried this but didn't get any results so if you can I must be using wrong syntax.

Thanks
!

Using The ORDER BY Clause When The Ordered Column Is Not Needed In The SELECT Statement

May 15, 2008

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

TSQL - Use ORDER BY Statement Without Insertin The Field Name Into The SELECT Statement

Oct 29, 2007

Hi guys,
I have the query below (running okay):



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.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Select Statement With Derived Order Status

Aug 28, 2015

Here is my requirement

Table 1 Order
order ID, Sales order ID order date, order type

Table 2 Order details
Order Details ID, Order ID, Order Stage

Table 3 Related Order details
Order ID(FK to Order ID), Related Order Details ID(FK to Order Details ID), Related Order ID( FK to Order ID)

Here is example

Table 1 Order
1, 1234, 2015-01-01, Refill
2, 1234, 2015-02-02, Extension

Table 2 Order Details
1, 1, Approved
2, 1, Approved
3, 2, Rejected

Table 3 Related Order Details
2, 1, 1
2, 2, 1

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.

Order By Clause In DECLARE CURSOR Select Statement Won't Compile

May 7, 2008

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

SELECT DISTINCT And ORDER BY With Aliased Column

Feb 14, 2008



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.

How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?

Jul 12, 2004

Hello fellow .net developers,

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.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Dynamic Column Names In Select Statement

Oct 13, 2001

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.

declare @order_id nvarchar(10)
select @order_id = 'OrderID'
SELECT @order_id from Order.

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.

Concatenating Column Values In SELECT Statement

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.

Hiding Or Removing Column Output From Select Statement

Feb 22, 2005

I'm executing the following...

select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1

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.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Add Auto Incrementing Column To SELECT Statement

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Pass A Column Name Using Parameter In Select Statement

Sep 5, 2014

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?

Select Into Statement Without Taking Auto Increment Of ID Column To The New Table

Mar 7, 2011

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...

Can A Column Be Derived Using Substring But The Parameters Are A Result Of A Select Statement?

Apr 6, 2007

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

Seg3Len


:

1

3

5

3

9

2



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.



Regards,

Bill

Select Statement That Will Output Related Rows With Different Column Data Per Row?

Apr 27, 2008

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
