In SQL 2000, when you generated an SQL script for a database, it was logical and the tables in the script were in alphabetical order. In SQL 2005 they are all mixed up. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Using the scripting wizard in SQL Server 2005 database engine, I have been able to script all my DDL out to a flat file which is great; however, when I scripts for instance all views I would like to have the script in alphabetical order by view name, is there a value I can set to accomplish this?
Thanks
Hello
I know how I can display a list of names in alphebetical order on my website:
Select L as [Last Name]
From Name_CatEWhere Education = 'yes'Order ByLName ASC
However, to make things a little more orginised I would like to view my database table column in alphabetical order also, but ithie code does not work within my database.
What do I need to change in the following code, to view my database table column in a-z order?
SELECT LName FROM Name_CatEORDER BY LName ASC
Thanks

I am having problem with the unpivot function of sql 2012, i unpivot my column then i get the result that i wanted but the error that i was encountering was the unpivot is automatically sort the column in alphabetically order which is not I desire,
Here is my code
@syear nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
[Code] ....
I am using SQL 2012 SE. I have 2 databases say A and B with same structure and relationships. There are 65 tables in each database. A is already replicating data to database C for 35 tables. Now I need to move data from A to B which is greater than getdate()-1 everyday for all the tables and once the move is done I need to delete this data from A. And samething the next day. Since this is for 65 tables its challenging to identify the insert order. Once the insert order is identified the delete order will be the reverse of it.
Is there a tool or any SP that could generate the insert order script? The generate scripts data only is generating the entire data and these databases are almost 400GB. So I thought of generating a schema only script and then create an empty database with it and then generate data only to identify the order of insert. But it wont generate anything since there is no data.
I have created one table and one stored procedure for to insert/delete/update the data in that table.
So,I was trying to move the scripts from one database to another by Generating Scripts options in SQL Server.
Generating Scripts:
Object Explorer --> Databases --> Database --> Tasks --> Generate Scripts
The generated script output is in a order of stored procedure first and then table.
REQUIREMENT: My stored procedure is dependent on table. So, I need the table script first and then stored procedure.
Note: I can generate two separate scripts for table and stored procedure, But in a just curiosity to know, Is there any way, can we re order the Generate Scripts output in SQL Server.
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!
View 2 Replies View Relatedthere is another way to get the alphabetical value for a number other than using a case statement?
example:
Count = 1 That's = A
Count = 5 That's = E
Count = 8 That's = H
and so on I know a case could do this but wondering if there is a nice function or simple statement that would do this on the fly?
Hi, I have a table whose Identifying column is not an integer but rather a manually entered id. (i.e. 106F, 106-09, G11 etc.) When sorted ascending, a G11 will come before a G2 in the list, 106-11 before 106-2, etc.I would like to insert a new column in the database or use some kind of function when sorting the database to ensure that the list in returned in the proper order. Any ideas?Much appreciated...
View 16 Replies View RelatedI have been discussing with some coworkers whether or not it makes sense to invest the time to alphabetize the column names in our tables (aside from the PK and possibly FK's that could be listed first). My reasoning for doing so would make it much easier to scan the list of columns in a table that I was not familiar with to see if it contained a particular column (i.e. meeting_id). I was just wondering if this is common at all in our industry for new DB design (I realize why legacy systems would not be ordered in this way). I remember seeing MSFT designed their tables this way when Site Server first came out.
An argument was made that when you add a new column you would insert it into the appropriate location and in order to make this happen, EP needs to create a temp table, move the data and consequently lock the table until the data has been transferred. While this is correct, I do not see this negative as outweighing the positive experience achieved by scanning a list of fields in a table in a more orderly fashion.
Thoughts?
Apologies if this has been done before, but I couldn't find a completed example. If anyone has time, I'd love to see some improvements...

/*
function:
numeric_order
arguments:
@numeric_string - a string of mixed alpha and numeric values
@max_digits- the maximum length of digits to compare
description:
Function numeric_order creates an orderable string based on the "numeric" value of @numeric_string
which can be ordered alphabetically.
Ideally the strings should really be broken up into constituent parts and ordered properly,
but occasionally you come across data where it's just not worth the while.
eg
select title from regulations order by title
returns:
Regulation 1(a) section 3
Regulation 11 section 100(b)
Regulation 11 section 2(c)(iii)
Regulation 2 section 1
Regulation 21 section 3 (b)
whereas
select title from regulations order by dbo.numeric_order(title,10)
returns:
Regulation 1(a) section 3
Regulation 2 section 1
Regulation 11 section 2(c)(iii)
Regulation 11 section 100(b)
Regulation 21 section 3 (b)
which is the order most users would expect.
NOTE: because the original strings are mixed, the user may include alphas between digits which are to be
sorted alphabetically, which means the string must keep all alpha parts of the original string as is.
expected output:
select dbo.numeric_order('Part 1(b) subsection 1',4)
returns
Part 0001(b) subsection 0001
test data:
use test
--go
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[regulations]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[regulations]
--go

insert into regulations (title) select 'Regulation 11 section 2(c)(iii)'
insert into regulations (title) select 'Regulation 2 section 1'
insert into regulations (title) select 'Regulation 21 section 3 (b)'

i am working on a small project, that I have found that someone is storing a float as a varchar(). But there are also some actual words in the same column.
I am trying to determine how I can select only the rows with alphabetical characters in that column.
Some of the data is:
1.5008e+015
1.54453e+015
1.51922e+015
1.51922e+015
1.52243e+015
but there is a mix of alphabetical characters in there as well.
1.51922e+015
1.53122e+015
FMCIT
ABCNP
FMCPNG
1.62073e+015
1.6127e+015
I want to be able to select the rows with only the alphabetical characters. There is a huge mix, and I am assuming that every first letter is one of the 26 alphabetical character used. How can I write a query to use a REGEX to select any and all rows that cannot be CAST as a Float? I have nill to no experience using REGEX.
I need to split NUMERIC & ALPHABETICAL values from string.
for eg :-
1234heaven56-guy
output
123456 heaven-guy
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 =---

i was using sql 2000, the database contains 500+ tables, 3000+ sp.
i moved to sql 2005 and found problem on generating script (right click database -> tasks -> generate scripts).
i need to generate the table relations.... it is very very slow compared to sql 2000 which is done in about 30 seconds to few minutes.
i already tried many ways including set options to false which in my thought could speed up a lot...but still very slow.
average generate script time with sql 2005 (sp 2): 70-90 minutes.
average generate script time with sql 2000 (sp 4): 2-3 minutes.
can anyone tell why ? thx in advance
