I'm trying to find a way to sort my query like the following: SELECT * FROM tbl_Post WHERE ID = 3 OR ID = 1 OR ID = 4 OR ID = 2 ORDER BY (3,1,4,2) Now if ID is my primary key, the sort by default would be 1, 2, 3, 4. I would like to specify order so that I could return the order as 3, 1, 4, 2 if I wanted to. Is there any way to do this? Thanks,Russ
I Have a table with columns: - CustomerID - DateTransactionCompleted - AmountPaid
Illustration data as follow
GO INSERT INTO Cus_Tab_Dev_2 VALUES(30,'12-12-2004','18000.00') INSERT INTO Cus_Tab_Dev_2 VALUES(30,'12-15-2004','2000.00') INSERT INTO CUS_Tab_Dev_2 VALUES(30,'1-16-2005','15000.00') INSERT INTO CUS_TAB_DEV_2 VALUES(42,'2-2-2005','12000.00') GO
What I want is a report that tells me the Total Sales per month Per Customer in the following manner:
Customer ID Month/Year Total Per Month ----------- ----------- ---------------- 30 12-2004 20000.00 30 1-2005 15000.00 42 2-2005 12000.00
This is a homework, and I have been trying to get it to work since this morning. Any help is appreciated.
PS: If you do not feel you want/should help. Please don't call me names! I don't ask people to help me with my homework usually. But, I am running out of time on the assignment.
I have three tables:tblBook has the fields bookID, bookRangeID, bookSubjectID, bookCodetblBookRange has the fields bookRangeID, bookRangeDescriptiontblBookSubject has the fields bookSubjectID, bookSubjectDescriptionso some typical data in tblBook might be:1, 1, 1, B1HBSCI2, 1, 2, B2HBFRE13, 1, 3, B3HBGER4, 2, 1, B4PBSCI5, 2, 2, B5PBFRE6, 2, 3, B6PBGER7, 3, 1, B7CDSCI8, 3, 2, B8CDFRE9, 3, 3, B9CDGER110, 3, 3, B10CDGER211, 1, 2, B11HBFRE2tblBookRange would be:1, HardBack2, PaperBack3, CD RomtblBookSubject would be:1, Science2, French3, GermanI'd like to create a query which will return me the subjects along thetop, the book range down the side, and the bookcodes in the cells, abit like this:BookRange , Science, French, GermanHardBack , B1HBSCI, B2HBFRE1 B11HBFRE2, B3HBGERPaperBack , B4PBSCI, B5PBFRE, B6PBGERCD Rom , B7CDSCI, B8CDFRE, B9CDGER1 B10CDGER2Does that make any sense? So basically I'd like to get some kind ofdynamic SQL working which will do this kind of thing. I don't want tohard code the subjects in or the book ranges. I get the feeling thatdynamic SQL is the way forward with this and possibly using a cursor ortwo too, but it got quite nasty and convoluted when I tried variousattempts to get it working. (one of the ways I tried included workingout each result in a dynamic script, but it ran out of characters asthere were too many "subjects".)If anyone has any nice but quite dynamic solutions, I'd be delighted tohear.(and I know some of you have already told me you don't like tablesbeginnig with tbl, but I'm not hear for a lecture on namingconventions, I'm hear to learn and share ideas :o) )
I have a field called "type" in my "school" table that can have threepossibilities:ElementaryMiddleHighIn my result set, I always want Elementary to come first, Middle tocome second, and High to come third. An alpha sort gets me this:ElementaryHighMiddleSure, I could create a look-up that assigns an integer to the "type"field to get the right sort order (i.e. elementary = 0, middle = 1,high = 2) ... but is there a better way to do this with SQL syntax?Thanks,Ralph NobleJoin Bytes!
I want to sort on a field that I construct during a query....how can I solve this?Basically what i am doing is selecting mediafiles with comments in descending order. (so mediafile with most comments on top)Here's my (not working) query, because it throws the error that the mediaComments column is unknown....SELECT *FROM(select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY mediaComments DESC) as RowNum,m.title,m.usercode,mediaComments=(select count(*) from MediaComments where mediaid=m.mediaid)FROM Media m WHERE m.usercode>0group by m.title,m.usercode) as InfoWHERE RowNum between @startRowIndex AND (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows-1)
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
Hi Everyone,I am creating a portal and want the user to be able to select four variants from four separate drop down boxes... Such as chapter, story, etc... The user will then be able to click Find and shorten up the gridview list. The below query is what I am using for my current gridview (with custom paging). What I want to do is something like this: Pass a variable such as @Story. If no Story is chosen, then the variable would be *. If a variable is chosen, the the @Story would the StoryID. However, I don't believe SQL recognizes the * in this case. I was thinking it should, but I don't believe it does. I was hoping it would just take it and I could write, SELECT * from Stories where StoryId=@Story, or something like that... and if * was @Story, then it would just select all... or if it was 1, then just stories with a StoryId of 1.Am I totally off base here? Thanks! CREATE PROCEDURE SortAllStories@startRowIndex int,@maximumRows int,@totalRows int OUTPUTASDECLARE @first_id int, @startRow intSET @startRowIndex = (@startRowIndex - 1) * @maximumRowsIF @startRowIndex = 0SET @startRowIndex = 1SET ROWCOUNT @startRowIndexSELECT @first_id = StoriesID FROM Storie ORDER BY StoriesIdPRINT @first_idSET ROWCOUNT @maximumRowsSELECT Stories.StoryId, Chapters.ChapterName, Chapters.EnglishName, Translations.Translation,Stories.Verse, Stories.StoryFROM Chapters, Stories, TranslationsWHERE Chapters.ChapterId=Stories.ChapterId AND Translations.TranslationId = Stories.TranslationId AND Stories.StoryId >= @first_idORDER BY Stories.StoryIdSET ROWCOUNT 0SELECT @totalRows = COUNT(StoryId) FROM Stories
Hi there, i have written a page and for a long time it worked (or so i thought) now all of a sudden it dosnt. I have gone right back to basics and tried to only insert one variable, tried using a text box, a string pre populated, or a string populated by the text box - nothing seems to work. However if i hard code in the thing that i want, even into the SQL or into my param it works, whats going on! i think my programming skills are letting me down here! here is what i am trying to use (as you can see i have commented out all that i was using to get back to basics) Are there any pointers?SqlConnection objConnAddStock = new SqlConnection(sAddStock); //This is the sql statement. int intUpdateQSStockID = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["qsStockID"]); string strCondition;strCondition = "Brand New 12";using (objConnAddStock) { objConnAddStock.Open();string sqlAddStock = "UPDATE tbl_stock SET condition = @condition WHERE stock_id = " + intUpdateQSStockID;
There will be three levels of data imposed at the Application Layer
Level 1: ParentID = 0 An Item Like Geography Level 2: ParentID = a Level 1 WikiID A sub Topic like Volcanoes Level 3: ParentID = Level 2 WikiID A bottom Topic like Pyroclastic Flows
I Need a SQL statement that Will Produce the Output where The output will be produced like this: Level 1 Level 2 Level 2 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Level 2
I Built this but its wrong and has no order by Group by Statements Select * from WikiData where ParentID = 0 or ParentID IN (Select * from WikiData where ParentID = 0)

i have table in sql and every month i am appending new data in this table, but i want to sort data Culumn Name "account_no' from smallest to largest, and whenever i append new data to this table it auto sort every time,
Hello, I am new to this sql server reporting server technology. I have a requirement like the table header should repeat in all pages of the exported excel's print preview. So I have created the header columns with fixed lenths as same as table's header in the page header of the report. Then only the Header will repeat in all pages of the print preview.
But the problem is when doing like this, many of the columns have been merged together. The report layout is ok. But cant sort the data. It says a message "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized."
In some forms i have found the header control's edges need to be sized identically with the tables' columns edges. I did it. But still the columns are merged when exporting.
I have a data load process that reads data from flat file into a Stage table in sql server. The order of the records in the stage table is exactly same as the order in the flat file. The identity column on the Stage table (which is also the clustered index) represents the exact line/row number of the data in the filat file. I perform some transformations on the data in the stage table and then insert it into a cumulative table which has a clustered index on an identity column again. When I do this, does the order of the data in the cumulative table be in the same order as the data in the stage table? Anyone, please let me know if I can rely on SQL server to maintain the same order or I will be forcing a sort order on the Identity column (clustered index) of the stage table when I insert the data into a cumulative table.
Hi, This is my problem : I have listBox1, listBox2 controls bound to sqldatasource1 and sqldatasource2. I wrote one stored procedure to retrieve data from my sql database like : select Id, Name,Address,Amount from KalakaDB
Now I want my listBox1 to display Name By name and my listBox2 to display Amount by decrease order how can i connect my sqldatacontrol to the stored procedure ?
I haven't a clue how to accomplish this.All the data is in one table. The data is stored by registration dateand includes county and number of students brokne out by grade.Any help appreciated!Rob

This is a newbie question. For some reason when I view the contents of tables I have created on my SQL Server (version 7) database, the sort buttons in the "Data in Table" window are grayed out.
I'm trying to find the command to open up an odbc conection inside sql2005 express. I only have ues of an odbc connector, we're conection to remedy. We will eventually be using stored procedures to extract the data we need from remedy and doing additional data crunching. I'm a foxpro programmer so once I get the correct syntax for making the odbc connector I shold be ok. Also I need a really good advanced book on sql2005. The type of book that would have my odbc answer. I've spent all morning trying to find this information and was unable to.
Thanks in advance

We have a issue with a MDS server that have been over us for a couple of days, the original error msg from SQL Server Engine is the one "The query processor could not produce a query plan" but the ones we get on the Excel-Addin are "Sequece contains no elements" or "The value cannot be null" T
• Using Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3393.0 (X64) for 6months on this server without issues
• Two weeks ago we started to have 2 errors: "Sequence Contains No Elements" | "The Value Cannot Be Null"
• We are using the last version of Excel Add-in
• We try to reinstall the MDS feature
• If I backup/restore MDS database to other server it works
• We updated to SQL 2012 SP2 + CU4 but the error persisted ...

Hi,First post so apologies if this sounds a bit confusing!!I'm trying to run the following update. On a weekly basis i want toinsert all the active users ids from a users table into a timesheetstable along with the last day of the week and a submitted flag set to0. I plan then on creating a schduled job so the script runs weekly.The 3 queries i plan to use are below.Insert statement:INSERT INTO TBL_TIMESHEETS (TBL_TIMESHEETS.USER_ID,TBL_TIMESHEETS.WEEK_ENDING, TBL_TIMESHEETS.IS_SUBMITTED)VALUES ('user ids', 'week end date', '0')Get User Ids:SELECT TBL_USERS.USER_ID from TBL_USERS where TBL_USERS.IS_ACTIVE = '1'Get last date of the weekSELECT DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,getdate()), 6)I'm having trouble combing them as i'm pretty new to this. Is the bestapproach to use a cursor?If you need anymore info let me know. Thanks in advance.
