Concatentate Sorted Strings

Aug 2, 2006

Hi All,

I'm new to SQL Server.

I have the following table in a database of SQL Server 2005 Express.

ColA ColB
----- -----
A 12
A 10
B 50
B 13

What I want to achieve is the following result :

Col A Aggr
----- ------
A 2,12
B 13, 50

I tried the following query :

SELECT ColA, dbo.Concatenate(ColB) as Aggr
FROM
(SELECT TOP(100) PERCENT ColA, ColB
FROM TABLE_A
ORDER BY ColB) AS Derived_A
GROUP BY ColA

where Concatenate is the CLR User-defined aggreate function written in C#.

What I want to do is to first sort the rows on ColB and then to execute aggregate function over the sorted rows so as to get the above-mentioned results. However, what I got is the following

Col A Aggr

----- ------

A 2,12

B 50,13 -- not sorted

I learnt from the SQL Server documentation that even though the ORDER BY clause is presented in the subquery, the query result is not guaranteed to be sorted. Only ORDER BY clause used in the outer query should work. So, how should this problem be solved? One way of which I'm thinking is to do the sorting in the aggregate function, but I'm worrying if this is harmful to the performance. Could anyone help me to solve the problem?

Thanks!

Regards,
Nathan

Concatenate Strings After Assigning Text In Place Of Bit Strings

Feb 19, 2007

I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.

I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.

This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:


select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +

case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +

case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String

from new_database

The output would be

Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/

So far, nothing I have tried has worked.

Any ideas?

How To Get The First Row Of A Sorted List

May 14, 2007

Hi,

I am a newbie so this might be a very basic question. I have a table that not sorted. So I write a query to sort the table like this

Select * from custInfo where custID <> '0' order by custID Desc

Now obviously I have a selection of the original table in desc order. Now I want to get the first custId from thid Desc selection. How do I do this.

So if the unsorted table looked like this

001 Martha
005 Steve
002 Mike
003 David

and the sorted selection looks like this

005 Steve
003 David
002 Mike
001 Martha

And then I want to select Steve's custID which is 005. how do i do this.

Thanks in advance.

Sorted Input

Mar 17, 2006

If a component requires a sorted input it would seem reasonable that you can check the IsSorted property of the attached input, but this will always return false. I have tried this when connecting the output of the Sort transform to my component, and then check the IsSorted property for this input. It is always false. How can this be, and also how can I see if the path is indeed sorted?

If using a virtual input column in my UI, I get a SortKeyPosition on the columns, but when overriding SetUSageType in the component class I always get zero for the key. Why is the sort information not quite there for me?

Keeping Tables Sorted

Nov 28, 2003

we have a simple table

Key, Name, Address, City, State, Zip ................ect

I would like to keep this table sorted by Name, theirfore I won't have to sort my results with every querry.

I think I need to add something to my insert to tell my table - "Hay take Jones", open up the prober place and stick him in the proper spot.

Ex: We have Appleby and Robertson in our table now. My insert would tell SQL Server to take Jones, figure our where he belongs (alpha), and stick him in, resulting in.

Appleby
Jones
Robertson

This way I wont have to as the querry to sort stuff every time I reference this table, this will save lots and lots of overhead. and help keep my clients happy with quick(er) response.

thanks in advance -arthur

Retrieving Sorted Data

Jul 18, 2005

I have four tables that need to be loaded into an ASP.NET application. They need to be loaded together into one result set and sorted. Is it possible to load four tables together and sort them using an SQL statement?

To clarify, say I have the following data:

Table1: Anglesey, Cardiff, Ceredigion
Table2: London, Dorset, Lancashire
Table3: Antrim, Armagh
Table4: Glasgow, Berwick, Edinburgh

I'd want the data retrieved from all four tables and sorted so that the data retrieved would be:

Anglesey, Antrim, Armagh, Berwick, Cardiff, Ceredigion, Dorset, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lancashire, London

I am aware of and am using the SELECT ... ORDER BY feature of MSSQL in my present ASP.NET application to retrieve from single database tables. I'm using merged datasets and a sort method to solve the above problem at the moment.

Find Next Entries Value (as Sorted By Date)

Jul 29, 2015

In the database I am querying, there is a field called "group". I can find out when "group" changes with a time field that was logged whenever group changes. I am trying to find what the value was changed into.

Code:
SELECT
Assignment_Log.DBID,
Assignment_Log.Assigned_Group,
Assignment_Log.Submit_Date
FROM Assignment_Log

This will tell me:

The unique ID of the database
The group it was assigned FROM
The time the assignment took place

I need to find the assignment TO

so what I need to do for the last column is something along the lines of...

Find the next record after the current record by looking at the next Submit_Date and view the Assigned_Group.

If no "next record" can be found, leave the cell empty.

is this possible?

Join Tables On Sorted Values

Nov 19, 2013

Is there a way to join tables that have multiple matches to each other (2 records in one table and 2 in another) so that you get 2 records returned instead of 4 with only 1 JOIN ON qualifier?

In our warehouse DB, there is a master location table, an inventory location table, and physical table for counting all product in the warehouse. The master location table has one record per location, but there could be multiple items in that location so my outer join from the master location to the inventory table returns something like:

select M.MASTER_LOC, C.AS ORIG_ITEM, C.ORIG_LOT, C.ORIG_QTY
from
M_LOC M LEFT OUTER JOIN
C_INVT C ON M.MASTER_LOC = C.INVT_LOC
order by M.LOC_CODE

LOCATION ITEM LOT QTY
01-01-A 100 abc 25
01-02-A NULL NULL NULL
01-03-A 200 def 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 50

My problem is adding the third counted inventory table because it could look like anything depending on what we find in the racks:

LOCATION ITEM LOT QTY
01-01-A 100 abc 25 (exact match)
01-02-A 150 cba 75 (Item found)
01-03-A 200 ghi 50 (LOT swapped)
01-03-A 300 def 50 (Item Changed)

My join is returning 4 rows for location 01-03-A which I understand, but I'm wondering if I can sort within the join or make some temp tables so that instead of:

select M.MASTER_LOC, C.AS ORIG_ITEM, C.ORIG_LOT, C.ORIG_QTY, E.AS CNTD_ITEM, E.CNTD_LOT, E.CNTD_QTY
from
M_LOC M LEFT OUTER JOIN
C_INVT C ON M.MASTER_LOC = C.INVT_LOC LEFT OUTER JOIN
E_PHYS_INVT E ON M.MASTER_LOC = E.LOC_CODE
order by M.LOC_CODE

LOC1 ITEM LOT QTY LOC2 ITEM LOT QTY
01-03-A 200 def 50 01-03-A 200 ghi 50
01-03-A 200 def 5001-03-A 300 def 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 5001-03-A 200 ghi 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 5001-03-A 300 def 50

I'd like to just end up with 2 lines sorted by location, item, lot, qty so I can see that there is a problem with that location.

LOC1 ITEM LOT QTY LOC2 ITEM LOT QTY
01-03-A 200 def 5001-03-A 200 ghi 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 5001-03-A 300 def 50

Getting Line Number Sorted Out In Matrix

Dec 27, 2007

Hi there,

I have a matrix report that shows a certain columns and rows. I need a row counter to show me the amount of rows in that matrix but it doesn't count properly by using the expression: =Int(RowNumber("matrix1") -1)
I actually don't have any idea on what this expression should be to fix the row count...to illustrate what I get in the report:

______________________________________________________________________________
Chkp | Row | Serial No | Call of Date |Colour| Pillar | AV | Sport | USA | SRA | TAPE |
2019 | 1 | 7006892 | 2003/02/11 | 3644 | 78222 | 3902 | 9182 | | | |
| 3 | 7000123 | 2003/02/11 | 3299 | 17283 | | 9238 | 2793 | | |
| 5 | 7302031 | 2004/01/11 | 3902 | 28932 | | 3233 | 2332 | | |
| 7 | 7273211 | 2004/02/08 | 6727 | 39232 | 8228 | 3293 | | | |
| 8 | 7382728 | 2004/11/11 | 7822 | 32342 | 3902 | | | | |
| 13 | 7342934 | 2004/12/03 | 8323 | 23422 | 2031 | 9212 | 2934 | 2934 | 2982 |
| 18 | 7329491 | 2004/13/02 | 8291 | 92423 | 7922 | 0231 | 2342 | 2355 | 2223 |
| 22 | 7328438 | 2004/12/22 | 8399 | 92311 | | 0289 | 8392 | | 3982 |


As you can see above, the row count numbers are not lining up at all, it starts at 1, then jumps 2 every count then all of a sudden jumps 5 per line...a pattern that is interesting but difficult to understand. The unique value in this matrix is that serial number but even though i group it by the serial number, it still gives me the funny Row count values.

What would be the approach to solving this?

Regards
Mike

Trying To Join Within A Table - Get Result Sorted By Primary ID

Aug 27, 2014

So if an item is a bottle, it will have a unique BottleKey and Null for CaseKey and if an item is a Case, it will have a unique CaseKey and Null for BottleKey. However, the PrimaryIDs are the same for both the bottle and case. I get the results to look like this:

Bottlekey CaseKey PrimaryID
4754 NULL ABC-234
NULL 5465 ABC-234
.... .... .......

Is there a way to get the result sorted by Primary ID?

So that the rows are halved from what we have in the table above and the results look like

PrimaryID CaseKey BottleKey
ABC-234 5465 4754

Selection From Sorted Subquery Is Unsorted In SQL Server 2005

I have some relatively simple SQL that acts differently between SQL Server 2000 and 2005.

Merge Join - Output Of Lookup As Sorted Field?

Nov 3, 2007



I'm doing a data conversion with one of my fields (SUMDWK) from one of the tables that will be used in a merge join. With the new, converted field, I do a look up. From this look up, I want to take a new field FiscalWeekOfYear, and replace the original field, SUMDWK. This is necessary because SUMDWK is one of the sorted fields. In the look up, it is not possible to change the Output Alias. Does anybody know a way around this? Thanks.

Weird Replication Bug. Bulk Data Stream Was Incorrectly Specified As Sorted.

Apr 17, 2006

before anyone even says it, i checked the collation order on everything and it's the same. i get the error when the snapshot is trying to be bulk copied to the subscriber.

i'm on sql2k sp4, server and db collations are SQL_Latin1_General_SP1_CI_AS. here's a repro. 1st, run this in a blank db:

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Event_Transactions]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Event_Transactions]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Event_Transactions] (
[EventTransactionId] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[OrphanedFlag] [bit] NOT NULL ,
[ProcessedFlag] [bit] NOT NULL ,
[ProcessedTimeStamp] [datetime] NULL ,
[EventTimeStamp] [datetime] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [EventTransactions_IDX_ProcessedOrphanedEventTimeSt amp] ON [Event_Transactions] (
[ProcessedFlag],
[OrphanedFlag],
[EventTimeStamp]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Event_Transactions] ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_Event_Transactions] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[EventTransactionId]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

insert into Event_Transactions (
OrphanedFlag
,ProcessedFlag
,ProcessedTimeStamp
,EventTimeStamp
)
values (
1
,0
,NULL
,'2004-05-07 15:15:24.000'
)

insert into Event_Transactions (
OrphanedFlag
,ProcessedFlag
,ProcessedTimeStamp
,EventTimeStamp
)
values (
0
,1
,'2004-07-08 13:04:01.513'
,'2004-07-07 16:52:08.000'
)

Now, use transactional replication to replicate it to another db taking all the defaults. when the distribution agent tries to apply the snapshot, it fails with the message mentioned in the title..

Has anyone ever seen this? It's keeping us from considering MS replication for one of our major products. Thanks.

SQL 2012 :: Populate Int Column With A Sequence Of Numbers But Sorted By Another Field

Oct 8, 2015

The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).

While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.

What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.

Declare @ID int
If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' )
Begin
--Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column.
SET @id = 0

SQL 2012 :: Environment Variables Not Sorted In Dropdown When Configuring Parameters / Datasources

Sep 25, 2014

Any fix for the seemingly random sort order of the variables in the dropdown list when configuring parameters and connection managers in the SSISDB catalog?

I imported all of our connection strings into an environment (about 200 of them). They were inserted in alpha order and the ID values within the internal.environment_variables table shows them in order as well, by ID and by name.
When I run profiler and capture the command that retrieves them and run it in ssms they are in order but in the dropdown they seem random.

There are no values within any of the tables that accounts for the order they are in.

If a package has 5 connections you need to go through the unsorted list 5 times to find them.

Sometimes you get lucky and they are in the first 20 or so.

I know I can write a script, just wondering if there is a fix for the sorting.

Transact SQL :: How To Change Auto-sequence Numbers To Match Sorted Data

Jun 15, 2015

I have a database that has entries that I want sorted by date order. Each entry has an auto ID number allocated (primary key auto sequencing), which I want to change to reflect the sorting (so the first date has the first auto ID number and so on).I've gone into the database and sorted the entries as I want them. Then I've gone into Design View to delete and restablish the primary key autosequence. However, it is not keeping the date order in the database (ie entry ID 3140 date is 12/06/2015, but 3141 is 02/02/2012). How do I get it to maintain the order?

Reporting Services :: Report Builder 3.0 - Additional Columns Sorted After Values

May 12, 2014

I'm somewhat new to report builder and have been trying to recreate a report previously created in an Excel Pivot Table. I'm encountering an issue arranging the data the way it's arranged in Excel. 

Specifically, I would like the values column to precede an additional column.  

Until I can post pictures I'll have to try and mock it:

COLUMNS
Values
Results (my data I want as a 2nd column)

I can't figure out how to get report builder to do it the same way. Whenever I add the 'Result' data as a column it always appears on top. I'm guessing what I need to do is somehow get result set as a child of the first Static group, but I'm unsure how to do that.

SSIS: Merge Problem: The Input Is Not Sorted (for Use In Exporting A Multi-record Format File)

And whilst I definitely have an order by on the query, when I look at the metadata between the datasource and the derived column, the Sort Key Position items displays "0" for all my fields, I was expecting the sort field to have a "1" in this column. What am I missing?

Any help would be most appreciated!

Transact SQL :: Returning Non Indexed Records From Sorted Table - Speed Same As Indexed?

Dec 1, 2015

I have created a table from another table where I specified that one of the fields, an number field,  is sorted in ascending order and have NOT specified that it is to be an indexed field and there are 10 million records, from 1 to 10,000,000 exactly.

Now, if I query that table, asking to return records 1-1,000 from that non indexed number field that I sorted in ascending order (where number field <= 1,000) , will it run as fast as if it were indexed?

In other words, does SQL know somehow that these records are sorted in ascending order and so will not do a full table scan, stopping at 1,000 to return my data set?

Or is there no way for SQL to know this and only specifying an indexed field allows SQL to know that its in some order and so it doesn't have to do the full scan?

Help With Query Strings

Feb 7, 2007

I am using query strings to pass data from web form to web form and I have two questions.  First if i use a asp:sqldatasouce to fill up a grid view and I have my select command set to a paramater that get whatever is in the query string it will not work because whatever is in the quers string gets a " ' " put in front and in the back of it.  So if the query string was 5 whene it does the sql statement it sets my paramater = '5' not just 5 so its wont work.  How can I fix this using the asp:sql datasource my aspx code looks like
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Rental PropertiesConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [APARTMENTS] WHERE ([PROPERITY_ID] = @PROPERITY_ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="PROPERITY_ID" QueryStringField="key" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Also since i have not been able to get around this so i have been wrting code in vb.net to attact a dataset to a grid view to populate it based on the query string i would do the following in vb.net to get ride of the ' in front and behind the query string
Dim y as string  = "'" // " ' "
key = Request.QueryString("key").trim(y.tochararray)
But now i am doing another project in C# and I have re-written the above code in C# it will run but it will not take the " ' " out form infront or behind key.  How does this need to be changed up?
string y = "'";
key = Request.QueryString["key"].trim(y.tochararray());
