How To Know The Order Of Entries In A Table
Jul 5, 2007
For example some data has entered into a table in a random manner i.e the pk filed value is not in a serial fashion.Is there any table or index that holds the entries of rows into a particular table as entered .
i.e
'some_table' has data like this
3,entry3
2,entry2
4,entry4
1,entry1
I want some DB table or Index that holds data like this about above 'some_table'
row_id .... .... ....
1
2
3
4
here 1 refers to entry of the first column in 'some_table' i.e 3,entry3
and so on...

Hi,
I need to get first entries orderd by datetime asc, but I need the newest of this block returned first.
Imagine to have some entries:
08:00 ...
09:00 ...
10:00 ...
.... ...
15:00
16:00
17:00
....
I want to get the first 3 but the highest in time first.
Like this:
10:00 ...
09:00 ...
08.00 ...
Any idea?
Thanks a lot

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 table which stores phone numbers of a customer in a table.
Say this table is as below
CustomerName - PhoneNumber
Customer 1 - Phone number 1
Customer 2 - Phone number 2
Customer 2 - Phone number 3
Customer 3 - Phone number 4
What would be the best approach to prevent adding another entry against Customer 2. I should be able to add new customers and add multiple phone number against all other Customers. The restriction should be only against Customer 2.

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 all
I would like to know if its possible to "Save" records when they get deleted.
For example: I have a table, tblUsers, with coulmns, UserID, Name, Surname, etc...
In VWD I've created a GridView which shows everything on a webpage. I've also added a confirm return('Are you sure you want to delete the user?') option in OnClientClick field. What i want to achieve is, have some sort of log file, or log table if you want to call it that, of which users has been deleted by the end user. So, in later stages, i can see who deleted who, when, where, etc... - by building a report or view.
All this should go to a seperate database or seperate table, it doesnt really matter.
My delete query:DELETE FROM [tblUsers] WHERE [UserID] = @UserID

I have an ASP.Net Web appplication with a Back-End SQL DB. There are 3 Tables; Users, Groups, and GroupMember.
The GroupMember table is used to link Users to Groups and consists of just two fields; userID and GroupID.
Here is a sample of some data:
User1 Group1
User1 Group2
User2 Group2
User3 Group1
User3 Group3
Users can belong to multiple Groups. However, you shouldn't be able to have the same user and group comobination more than once. for example:
User1 Group1
User2 Group2
User1 Group1
I can stop this kind of duplicate data entry by doing a lookup first (using asp.net) to see if the entry already exists but this seems cumbersome.
Is there a simpler way to prevent duplicate entries in a table using sql?
Thanks a lot,
Chris

I have a question on appending and deleting entries in mysql table. This is my sample table.
table name: details
id_name | model | mode | media| first | end | id | level |
+--------------------+-------+---------+-----+-------+-------+--------+--------+
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14684 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14838 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15236 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
[Code] ....
I have numerous entries of same id name belonging to same median number.However,I want to only retain the entries having the longest first and end position and discard the remaining entries
E.g. for id name ="PSK_30s1207681L002" AND median = 5 we have four entries
id_name | model | mode | media| first | end | id | level |
+--------------------+-------+---------+-----+-------+-------+--------+--------+
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14684 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14838 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15236 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
But I want to retain only the one having longest first and end points ie
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
Here ,since for id name ="PSK_30s1207681L002" & median = N we have only 1 entry I want retain that one.
My final output in mysql table should look like this.
id_name | model | mode | media| first | last | id | level |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 14033 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | T0 | 15550 | 16050 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1189731L001 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 999 | 7531 | 9808 | c |
| PSK_30s1189731L001 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 6609 | 8257 | 9808 | c |
[Code] ....

If I wanted to search for Jobs as a particular status (e.g. 0130) and wanted to keep the jobs at this status until it has reached 0500, 0125, or 0900 in it's subsequent status log entry, how can I write the SQL for it to achieve it?
I have the following SQL which searches for the Jobs at 0130, but don't know how to develop it further to search on the requirement above.
------ SQL -------
SELECT
job.job_number,
(SELECT MAX(jsl.job_log_number)
FROM job_status_log jsl
WHERE
job.job_number = jsl.job_number AND
jsl.status_code = '0130') as Last_Early_Warning_Status_Entry
[code].....
In the job_status_log table above, there is a job_log_number field which increments by 1 when there is a new status log entry.

I am trying to create a trigger which should prevent the bulk deletion. The following is the trigger which I have written, it is preventing the bulk deletion. But the problem is, it is removing the single deletion entries in the audit table. I want audit table to hold back the single deletion entries without allowing the bult deletion

HiOur product uses MS-SQL Server 2000. One of our customer has 10installations with each installation stroring data in its own database.Now the customer wants to consolidate these databases into one and wealready have plan for that by consolidating one DB at a time. But firstthey want to find how many unique or duplicate entries they have acrossall the 10 databasesAssumptions:1. All the databases reside on the same server. (This is just anassumption, not the real environment at customer site)2. Databases can not be merged before it is found how many unique orduplicate rows exist.Table under consideration:Message(HashID PK,....)# of rows in Message table in each of databases: 1 MillionHere is my question: How can I find how many unique or duplicateentries they have across all the 10 databases. I easily find uniquerows for two databases with a query like this:SELECT COUNT(A.HasID) FROM db1.dbo.Message A LEFT OUTER JOIN ONdb2.dbo.Message B ON A.HashID = B.HashID WHERE B.HashID IS NULLHow can I do this for 10 databases. This will require factorial of 10queries to solve this problem.I will appreciate if someone can provide hint on this.RegardsAK

I have a table 'Group2Operation' that stores many to many relationsbetween the 'Group' table and the 'Operation' table (each group is haspermission to perform one or more of the available operations)PROBLEM=======I need to prevent duplicate entries being created. e.g. lets say thatin the 'Group2Operation' table a record links the 'editor' group tothe 'publish' operation. Should I prevent an administrator creating aduplicate of that record? (Otherwise deleting that permission willhave to be done twice or more for it to be effective)SOLUTION?=========So far I've done this with a trigger:CREATE TRIGGER Group2OperationDuplicates ON dbo.Group2OperationFOR INSERT, UPDATEAS UPDATE Group2OperationSET NoDuplicate = CONVERT(nvarchar(10),GroupID) + OperationTagThe 'NoDuplicate' unique index column in the Group2Operation tablestores a concatenation of the unique group and operation identifiers.So when an attempt is made to create a record, the trigger is fired.If there is a duplicate, this will mean a duplicate entry in the'NoDuplicate' column. As a result, the INSERT or UPDATE will fail andthe duplication will be prevented.WHAT DO YOU THINK?==================What do you think? Am I going about this in the right way? Is atrigger a good way to do this or should I rely on application logic toprevent duplicates?Any help appreciated by this db novice.John Grist

Someone ran an update statement multiple times so their are multiple entries in the table. What is the quickest way to track down the multiple entries? I would only want to see where timein and timeoff exist in the table multiple times for the same id. So this would be a duplicate
EntryID -- ID -- timein -- timeoff

I am using Sql Server 2000.
I have a customer table with fields - CustId, Name, Address, City, StdCode, Phone.
I used to insert entries in this table from an excel file.
One excel file will contain thousands of customer.
In this table combination of StdCode and Phone should not be repeated.
If I do it in my VB.Net coding.then application gets drastically slow.
So I want to write a procedure or trigger for this.
Here what I will do, I will send all records into database then this trigger or procedure will check for
any existing entry of combination of StdCode and phone. If entry exists then this will delete new entry
or will not allow this new entry.
Is this possible to do using Trigger or stored procedure?

I noticed that some queries against an mssql db require the tables in the FROM part of the statement to be in a particular order. Does anyone know why?
For example SELECT * FROM table1, table2, table3 WHERE <blah>
May throw an error (Unknown table table3 [I can't remember the exact verbiage of the error]), while simply rearranging the table order to:
SELECT * FROM table3, table1, table2 WHERE <blah> will work.
It seems like the error has something to do with how mssql handles the joins of the tables, but I can't seem to find any documentation about it.

When I say to sort on a datetime field on descending order, the date is sorted. However, the time difference is not reflected in the results.
Any way, we can fix it.
i.e. If I have two records with the same dates but different times, the sorting order is not considering the time.
