Conditional Order By?
Nov 22, 2006
Is there a way to do a conditional order by so that a user can give a parameter to a stored proc and it give back results sorted the way they want?
I want it so that the user can do 1 of 4 things,
* sort by "title" ascending,
* sort by "title" descending,
* sort by "synopsis" ascending,
* sort by "synopsis" descending
Can it be done? This is what I have but I get a syntax error:
select * from Blah
Order By
Case
when @orderId = 1 then title asc
when @orderId = 2 then title desc
when @orderId = 3 then synopsis asc
when @orderId = 4 then synopsis desc
end
Any help is greatly appreciated!

In SQL sERVER 2008, I have two fields - Depatment and Employees. I need to sort the result set by employee number ascending order, with following exception
1)when department number = 50 - the preferred order is Employee # - 573 followed by 551-572 (employee # belong to Dept 50 = 551-573)
2)When Department number = 20 – the preferred sort order is Employee # 213-220, followed by Employee # 201-213 (employee # belong to Dept 20 = 201-220)
How shall I achieve this?

I would like to write the following (pseudo) stored procedure, but am having problem with the syntax:
Create Procedure spSort
@IDContract nvarchar(10)
@SortOrder int
SELECT * FROM Contracts
WHERE IDContract = @IDContract
IF @SortOrder = 0
BEGIN
ORDER BY ContractDate
END
IF @SortOrder = 1 THEN
BEGIN
ORDER BY ShippingPeriod
END
The problem is in conditionally setting the sort order. The actual sp is quite complex and I don't really want to have to use two procedures (one for ordering by ShippingPeriod and one for ordering by ContractDate
Any suggestions please?
Many thanks

I need to create a conditional if or case statement in SQL Server 2000
for a stored procedure. Basically if the value passed in is 1,2 or 3 then
it will order by either NEWID(), a text field or a datetime feild.
Not done much dynamic sql so any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone,
Is there a way in order to execute a subscribed report based on a certain criteria?
For example, let's say send a report to users when data exist on the report else if no data is returned by the query
executed by the report then it will not send the report to users.
My current situation here is that users tend to say that this should not happen, since no pertinent information is contained in the report, why would they receive email with blank data in it.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value.
=SWITCH(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3, "Red", Fields!Wrap.Value < 3, "Green")
I already tried =iif(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3 , "Red", "Green") and got the same results.
Is it because this is a matrix report? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance . . .

Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...
SQL Server Express edition
Visual Studios 2005
Jet 4.0 newest upgrade
.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)
VS2005 Security upgrade
Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?
I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express
Thank you, Mark

I never paid much attention to this before but I noticed this today in a new table I was creating.
For tables defined in the tabular model the table properties have something like SELECT Blah FROM TableName ORDER BY Blah Then in the tabular model the table's data is in the same order it was ordered by in the data source for the table.
I have a date table I setup and I noticed it is NOT respecting the sort order.
I have it sorted by DateID which sorts with the oldest date first and newest date as last row.However, the table that is imported and stored in the data model is not in that order.
I can of course manually sort the rows in BIDS/DataTools, but I find this discrepancy odd.
Would this have negative impacts on the EARLIER function for example if the data rows are not in the order specified?

I have a query that calculate the total amount of order details based on a particular order:
Select a.OrderID,SUM(UnitPrice*Quantity-Discount)
From [Order Details]
Inner Join Orders a
On a.OrderID=[Order Details].OrderID
Group by a.OrderID
My question is what if I wanted to create a formula to something like:
UnitPrice * Quantity - DiscountAmount Where DiscountAmount = UnitPrice Quantity * Discount
Do I need to create a function for that? Also is it possible to have m y query as a table variable?

Hi!
I recently run into a senario when a procedure quiered a table without a order by clause. Luckily it retrived data in the prefered order.
The table returns the data in the same order in SQL Manager "Open Table"
So I started to wonder what deterimins the sort order when there is no order by clause ?
I researched this for a bit but found no straight answers. My table has no PK, but an identiy column.
Peace.

Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11Bank of abcde
10Bank of abcde
9Bank of abcde
8Bank of abcde
7Bank of abcde
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

I have created view by jaoining two table and have order by clause.
The sql generated is as follows
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.UWYearDetail.*, dbo.UWYearGroup.*
FROM dbo.UWYearDetail INNER JOIN
dbo.UWYearGroup ON dbo.UWYearDetail.UWYearGroupId = dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYearGroupId
ORDER BY dbo.UWYearDetail.PlanVersionId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWFinancialPlanSegmentId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYear, dbo.UWYearGroup.MandDFlag,
dbo.UWYearGroup.EarningsMethod, dbo.UWYearGroup.EffectiveMonth
If I run sql the results are displayed in proper order but the view only order by first item in order by clause.
Has somebody experience same thing? How to fix this issue?

I am getting the resultset sorted differently if I use a column number in the ORDER BY clause instead of a column name.
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition
Version: 9.00.1399.06
Server Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
for example,
create table test_sort
( description varchar(75) );
insert into test_sort values('Non-A');
insert into test_sort values('Non-O');
insert into test_sort values('Noni');
insert into test_sort values('Nons');
then execute the following selects:
select
*
from
test_sort
order by
cast( 1 as nvarchar(75));
select
*
from
test_sort
order by
cast( description as nvarchar(75));
Resultset1
----------
Non-A
Non-O
Noni
Nons
Resultset2
----------
Non-A
Noni
Non-O
Nons
Any ideas?

I noticed the StockDate is not sorted in proper order, like ascending order...
Code:
select top 1000 CONVERT(char, StockDate, 101) AS StockDate, timestamp from tblpurchaseraw where accountid = '119' order by stockdate desc
I noticed that StockDate is a datetime datatype so why does the month get ordered 1st, then day get ordered 2nd and year get ordered 3rd...
The sample data is MM/DD/YYYY...
So, how do I get it ordered propery by Year, Month then Day??

Lets say I have a table named [Leadership] and I want to select the field 'leadershipName' from the [Leadership] Table.
My query would look something like this:
Select leadershipName
From Leadership
Now, I would like to order the results of this query... but I don't want to simply order them by ASC or DESC. Instead, I need to order them as follows:
Executive Board Members, Delegates, Grievance Chairs, and Negotiators
My question: Can this be done through MS SQL or do I need to add a field to my [Leadership] table named 'leadershipImportance' or something as an integer to denote the level of importance of the position so that I can order on that value ASC or DESC?
Thanks,
Zoop

Hi,
I have some hierarchical data in a table. Say for example:
Parent Child
------------------------
NULL 1
1 2
1 3
2 4
2 5
3 6
3 7
5 8
5 9
7 10
7 11
11 12
11 13
Now I want to be able to use CTE's to be able to traverse this tree in
1) level by level order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10....
2) in order 1,2,4,5,8,9,3,6,7,10,11,12,13...
What would be the aueries for this. Using the following i get: 1,2,3,6,7,10,11,12,13,4,5,8,9 (interesting and potentially useful) but I would like to be able to experiment with the aforementioned orders as well.
with Tree (id)
as
(
select id from WithTest
where parent is null
union all
select a.id
from Tree b join WithTest a
on b.id = a.parent
)
select * from Tree
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi!
For the Orders table (let's assume for the Northwind database), I'm trying
to get the order id of the latest order for every customer.
That means that the result should be one record per customer and that would
display CustomerID and OrderID.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

The data file is a simple Unicode file with lines of text. BCPapparently doesn't guarantee this ordering, and neither does theimport tool. I want to be able to load the data either sequentially oradd line numbering to large Unicode file (1 million lines). I don'twant to deal with another programming language if possible and Iwonder if there's a trick in SQL Server to get this accomplished.Thanks for any help.Mark Leary----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==----http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---

Im faced with the following design issue..
on my site there are different profiles: a city profile, a restaurant profile and a user profile.
in my DB:City profiles are stored in tbCities cityID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...)
Restaurant profiles are stored in tbRests restID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...)
User profiles are stored in tbUsers userID int PK shortname nvarchar(50) forumID int FK (...)
as you can see a single ID value (for CityID,restID or userid) might occur in multiple tables (e.g. ID 12 may exist in tbRests and in tbUsers)Each of these profile owners can start a forum on their profile.
forumID in each of the above tables is a FK to the PK in tbForums:forumID intforumname nvarchar(50) (...)
Now imagine the following:
a site visitor searches ALL forums...say he finds the following forums:ForumID Forumname1 you opinion on politics2 is there life in space?3 who should be the next president of the USA?
a user may want to click on the forum name to go to the profile the forum belongs to.And then there's a problem, because I dont know in which table I should look for the forum ID...OR I would have to scan all tables (tbCities,tbRests and tbUsers) for that specific forumid,which is time-consuming and I dont want that!
so if a user would click on forumID 2 (is there life in space?)
I want to do a conditional inner join for the tablecontainingforumID (which may be tbCities,tbRests or tbUsers)
select tablecontainingforumID.shortname FROM tablecontainingforumID tINNER JOIN tbForums f ON t.ForumID=f.ForumIDwhere f.ForumID=2
I hope my problem is clear..any suggestions are welcome (im even willing to change my DB design if that would increase effectivity)

I have a stored procedure that performs a search function with params:@username nvarchar(50)@country nvarchar(50)and like 10 more.A user may provide values for these params optionally.So when the @username var is left blank, there should be no filtering on the username field (every field should be selected regardless of the username)Currently my statement is:select username,country from myUsers whereusername=@username and country=@countryWith this statement when a user provides no value for username the username field selects on ''m which returns ofcourse nothing...What can I do to solve this?Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to do a conditional WHERE in T-SQL? I have a table with a column that consists of a reference that starts with either a single alpha character or two alpha characters followed by four numeric digits (the numeric portion is always unique but the alpha isn’t). E.g. A1234, AB1235, AB1236, C1237, HT1238. What I want to do is select a range of rows based on the numeric portion of this reference column. In other words I want to select say 50 rows starting from row 1000 (rows 1000 to 1050) regardless of whether there is one or two alpha characters preceding the numerics.The Stored procedure I have so far works (using COUNT for testing) for selecting a range of rows that has two alpha's at the start. However, if I simply add an OR to the WHERE to select rows where there is a single alpha in the reference column, when a single alpha reference is found it will fail the first logical check for two alpha's giving an error condition. Therefore, how can I incorporate a conditional WHERE using IF or some alternative method, so that it will also give me all the rows in the number sequence that start with either single or double alpha's within the same SELECT / WHERE statement?
Thanks for any help.ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Test]
(
@startRef int,
@endRef int
)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT Count(*) FROM myTable
WHERE ((SUBSTRING(Ref,3,LEN(Ref)-2) BETWEEN @startRef AND (@startRef + @endRef)))

I have an SqlDataSource that uses a value from the query string in the WHERE clause of the sql statement.
The sql is something like this:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myfield = @myfield
and I have the QueryStringParameter setup like this:
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="myfield" QueryStringField="myfield" />
What I need is for the sql statement to return all records in the case that "myfield" is not defined in the query string.
How would I implement this?
Thanks,
