I have a stored procedure with dynamic ORDER BY. I would like to use the DISTINCT too. Is it somehow possible? Thank you
Here is the stored procedure:

I am trying to use dynamic ORDER BY with UNION in a stored procedure but I keep getting this error message:
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator.
The ORDER BY works fine without the UNION, and the UNION works fine without the dynamic ORDER BY (just putting an ORDER BY works fine)

I have a need to perform pagination while using dynamic sorting. Asan exmaple -SELECT TOP(10) * FROM (SELECTTextColumn,DecimalColumn,ROW_NUMER() OVER (ORDER BYCASE @xWHEN 1 THEN TextColumnWHEN 2 THEN DecimalColumnENDDESC) AS SortOrderFROM Table1) AS Results WHERE SortOrder ( 10 ) ORDER BY SortOrderThis is obviously just some sample but an error is given because thedata type of the 2 columns used in the order by are different. Itworks if I cast DecimalColumn to match the textcolumn but then thesorting is wrong. Is there a way to do this in a single query with 2different data types?Thanks for your help.
I am trying to do something similar to the following where I want to perform dynamic ordering on two tables that have been unioned as shown below.
CREATE PROCEDURE procedure_name @regNum varchar(14), @sortOrder tinyint = 1 AS SELECT Filler_OrdNum As 'Accession', RTrim(Obs_Code) As 'Observation', REG As 'Register', Obs_Date As 'Observation Date' FROM tblSPG_Header WHERE REG = @regNum UNION SELECT Filler_OrdNum As 'Accession', RTrim(Obs_Code) As 'Observation', REG As 'Register', Obs_Date As 'Observation Date' FROM tblRCH_Header WHERE REG = @regNum ORDER BY Obs_Date DESC GO
Note that I am only sorting on the Obs_Date column, but I'd like to be able to sort on any column within the selection list. I know that I need to use:
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortOrder = 1 THEN Obs_Date END DESC
but I frequently get the following error when I try to do so:
"ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statements contain a UNION operator"
If anyone can offer any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
I have a stored procedure that uses a dynamic order by statement. This statement works okay until I try to select ticket's by userEmail which is passed in to my stored procedure as a parameter. Here is the code that works for my dynamic sort order: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectAllTickets] @SortOrder varchar(250) AS SET NOCOUNT ON Exec('SELECT a.TicketID, a.TicketDate, a.TicketName, a.TicketDescription, a.statusID, a.resolutionID, a.userID, b.typeID, b.typeName, c.userID, c.UserFirstName, f.statusID, f.statusName FROM Tickets a LEFT OUTER JOIN Type b ON b.typeID = a.typeID LEFT OUTER JOIN Users c ON c.userID = a.userID LEFT OUTER JOIN Status f ON f.statusID = a.statusID ORDER BY ' + @SortOrder) I modied this procedure to create one in which I select tickets based on the userEmail as a criteria as well.. this one fails due to Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'BY' CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectTicketByUser]@SortOrder varchar(250),@userEmail varchar(50) AS SET NOCOUNT ON Exec('SELECT a.TicketID, a.TicketDate, a.TicketName, a.TicketDescription, a.statusID, a.resolutionID, a.userID, b.typeID, b.typeName, c.userID, c.UserFirstName, c.userEmail, f.statusID, f.statusName FROM Tickets a LEFT OUTER JOIN Type b ON b.typeID = a.typeID LEFT OUTER JOIN Users c ON c.userID = a.userID LEFT OUTER JOIN Status f ON f.statusID = a.statusID WHERE a.statusID <> 40 AND c.userEmail = ' + @userEmail + 'ORDER BY ' + @SortOrder) Any ideas on what syntax I should be using?

I can't figure out why this won't work. I want to use a variable for the 'ORDER BY' in my Stored Procedure.
I use this to order my results by product price or alphabetically from a dropdown menu. I have tried the following, but get the error below.

Code: Msg 1008, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SPResults, Line 21
The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number 1 contains a variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name. Is this possible to do?
I have this stored procedure: SELECT * from purchase ORDER BY CASE @OrderBy WHEN 'traveller_name' THEN cast(traveller_name as nvarchar(100)) WHEN 'canceled' THEN cast(canceled as bit) END
the @OrderBy is a nvarchar(100) parameter traveller_name is an nvarchar(100) field canceled is a bit field
When I execute the stored procedure it works fine until I execute it sorting by canceled field. After that, I cannot sort it again using the traveller_name field. I get this eror: Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'Jason' to data type bit. (Jason is a record in the traveller_name) Removing the castings and sorting by just the column name does not help.

I use a DataGrid to show the data, and I want it has a sorting and Paging function, so I use dataset to collect the data from middle tier function and stored procedure. I have code in aspx page like BindData(ViewState("SortExpr")).
In the stored procedure I pass SortExpr as parameter as following:
DECLARE @RowCount int SELECT @RowCount = Count(*) FROM ZIPCodes WHERE ZIPCode = @Zipcode AND CityType = 'D'
if @RowCount > 0 BEGIN SELECT z.ZIPCode, z.City, z.StateCode, a.Make, a.Model, a.AutoPrice, a.AutoPrice2, a.AutoYear, a.Mileage, a.AdID, a.ImageURL, dbo.DistanceAssistant(z.Latitude,z.Longitude,r.Latitude,r.Longitude) As Distance /* The above functions requires the Distance Assistant. */ FROM ZIPCodes z, RadiusAssistant(@ZIPCode,@Miles) r, AutoAd a WHERE z.Latitude <= r.MaxLat AND z.Latitude >= r.MinLat AND z.Longitude <= r.MaxLong AND z.Longitude >= r.MinLong AND z.CityType = 'D' AND z.ZIPCodeType <> 'M' AND z.ZIPCode = a.Zipcode AND a.AdActive = '1' AND a.AdExpiredate >= getdate() AND a.Make = @Make AND a.Model = IsNull(@Model,a.Model) AND a.Condition = IsNull(@Condition, a.Condition) AND dbo.DistanceAssistant(z.Latitude,z.Longitude,r.Latitude,r.Longitude) <= @Miles ORDER BY @SortExpr END ELSE SELECT -1 As ZIPCode --ZIP Code not found...

but I got the error as "variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referenceing a column name". How I fix this error? Please help.

I am looking for assistance coming up with a function (or maybe not a function if there is a better way) to make the Status column in my order table dynamic. The default value for new records will always be "1" to designate a quote. At this point the field is not dynamic. Once the customer confirms the order, the user needs to execute a command to change the status to "3" to designate a Confirmed order. At this point the field needs to be dynamic based on the shipping records. There are two order details tables. One for sales items and one for rental items. Each of these details tables has their own shipping record. the CheckInOut Tables are for rental while the Ship tables are for sales. So, if some (but not all) of the items in either of these order details tables has a shipping record associated with it, then the status should be changed to "5". If everything has been shipping, the status is changed to "4". If everything has been shipping but some items have been returned, the status is "6" if everything has been shipping and all of the RentalDetail items have been returned then the status is "7" and if there is any other combination of a variety of ships and returns, the status is "8". Also, at any time, the user needs to be able to execute a command to change the value to "2". once the value is changed to "2" the field stops being dynamic again.
Below are my tables creation commands.
CREATE TABLE OrderHeader ( OrderID int identity primary key, Status int, StartDate datetime, EndDate datetime )--Use Type 1 = "Quote" Type 2 = "Cancelled" Type 3 = "Confirmed", Type 4 = "Shipped", Type 5 = "Part Shipped", Type 6 = "Part Returned", Type 7 = "Returned, Type 8 = "Mixed" CREATE TABLE OrderRentalDetail ( OrderRentalDetailID int identity primary key, OrderID int FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES OrderHeader(OrderID), ItemName varchar(30), Qty int, SiteID int, ) CREATE TABLE CheckInOutHeader ( CheckInOutID int identity primary key, Type int, SiteID int, ActionDate datetime )--Use Type 1 = "Ship" Type 2 = "Return" Type 3 = "Lost" CREATE TABLE CheckInOutDetail ( CheckInOutDetailID int identity primary key, CheckInOutID int NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES ShipHeader(ShippingID), OrderRentalDetailID int, Qty int ) CREATE TABLE OrderSalesDetail ( OrderSalesDetailID int identity primary key, OrderID int FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES OrderHeader(OrderID), ItemName varchar(30), Qty int, SiteID int, ) CREATE TABLE ShipHeader ( ShippingID int identity primary key, Type int, SiteID int, ActionDate datetime )--Use Type 1 = "Ship" Type 2 = "Return" CREATE TABLE ShipDetail ( ShipDetailID int identity primary key, ShippingID int NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES ShipHeader(ShippingID), OrderSalesDetailID int, Qty int )
I am trying to set sorting up on a DataGrid in ASP.NET 2.0. I have it working so that when you click on the column header, it sorts by that column, what I would like to do is set it up so that when you click the column header again it sorts on that field again, but in the opposite direction. I have it working using the following code in the stored procedure: CASE WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end DESC, case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'ASC' then Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end ASC, case WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, Convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end DESC, case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end ASC, case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end DESC, case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end ASC, case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end DESC, case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end ASC And I gotta tell you, that is ugly code, in my opinion. What I am trying to do is something like this: case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' then FileName end, case when @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' then FileDataID end, case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' then FileDesc when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' then VersionNotes end
case when @SortOrder = 'DESC' then DESC when @SortOrder = 'ASC' then ASC end and it's not working at all, i get an error saying: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'case' when i put a comma after the end on line 5 i get: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DESC' What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help -Madrak
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
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)
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?
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrder (PurchaseOrderDate, SupplierID) VALUES(@date, @SupplierID)
END
SET @POno = @@IDENTITY
RETURN
However, how do i make it that it will automatically adds item under the POno being gernerated? can i use a trigger so that whenever a Insert for PO is success, it automaticallys proceed to adding the items into the table PurcahseOrderItem?
hi basically what i have is 3 text boxes. one for start date, one for end date and one for order id, i also have this bit of SQL SelectCommand="SELECT [Order_ID], [Customer_Id], [Date_ordered], [status] FROM [tbl_order]WHERE (([Date_ordered] >= @Date_ordered OR @Date_ordered IS NULL) AND ([Date_ordered] <= @Date_ordered2 OR @Date_ordered2 IS NULL OR (Order_ID=ISNULL(@OrderID_ID,Order_ID) OR @Order_ID IS NULL))"> but the problem is it does not seem to work! i am not an SQL guru but i cant figure it out, someone help me please!

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?
Hi,guys!I have a table below:CREATE TABLE rsccategory(categoryid NUMERIC(2) IDENTITY(1,1),categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(categoryid))Then I do:INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('url')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('document')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('book')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('software')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('casus')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('project')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('disert')Then SELECT * FROM rsccategory in ,I can get a recordeset with the'categoryid' in order(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)But If I change the table definition this way:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE,The select result is in this order (3,5,7,2,6,4,1),and 'categoryname 'in alphabetic.Q:why the recordset's order is not the same as the first time since'categoryid' is clustered indexed.If I change the table definition again:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE CLUSTEREDthe result is the same as the first time.Q:'categoryname' is clustered indexed this time,why isn't in alphabeticorder?I am a newbie in ms-sqlserver,or actually in database,and I do havesought for the answer for some time,but more confused,Thanks for yourkind help in advance!

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?
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));
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc. And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1
Hi, I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.
So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:
1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses. 2. Report is generated and displayed on screen. 3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.
SQL Server 2000 SP4 to multiple SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on PDAs. My DB on SQL2k is published with a single dynamic row filter using host_name() on my 'parent' table and also join filters from parent to child tables. The row filter uses joins to other tables elsewhere that are not published to evaluate what data is allowed through the filter.
E.g. Published parent table that contains suppliers names, etc. while child table is suppliers' products. The filter queries host_name(s) linked to suppliers in unpublished table elsewhere.
First initial sync with snapshot is correct and as I expected - PDA receives only the data from parent (and thus child tables) that matches the row filter for the host_name provided.
However - in my scenario host_name <--> suppliers may later be updated E.g. more suppliers assigned to a PDA for use or vice versa. But when I merge the mobile DB, the new data is not downloaded? Tried re-running snapshot, etc., no change.
Question: I thought the filters would remain dynamic and be applied on each sync?
I run a 'harmless' update on parent table using TSQL e.g. "update table set 'X' = 'X'" and re-sync. Now the new parent records are downloaded - but the child records are not!
Question: I wonder why if parent records are supplied, why not child records?
If I delete existing DB and sync new, I get the updated snapshot and all is well - until more data added back at server...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible (or not) to have dynamic filters run during second or subsequent merge?
