Hi,
I need to select few items from sql database.I know for ORDER BY, but I need those items to be mixed in random order every time when they are returned from database. Those are the same items every time, just randomly mixed.
Can i do it with SQL, or I have to find another way (e.g. to mix them after sql returns them)?

Hello Everyone,
I am using sql server 2000 to create a test database. I have two tables, a table for questions and one for answers. I want to create random orders for the test questions and answers. I tried to use the rand function but that doesn’t seem to work, because when I order by the random number, the questions are still in the primary key order. My primary key is 'questioned'. Can someone help me out on how to randomly order my questions and ansers?
Select questionID ,Rand(Questionid)from tblTestQuestions
order by rand(questionID)
Thanks

I'm importing comma-delimited text files into a SQL table. The data imports in a seemingly random order. One time I import and the lines appear one way and the next time I import they import another way.
Is there a way to force the text files to import in the same order the data is found in the file?
I have a column called demand and one called orders. I want to divide the demand column figure by the order column figure and put the new values in a column called AOV.

order is Varchaar(255)
hi,I was pulling up a report in SQL, and I wanted the records to be ordered by dates descending. However, I found this ordering was only fine enough to order records by dates (not hours or minutes) (within the same date, records were ordered so that the latest entered were at the bottom). I wonder if anyone else has encouted this problem before, or I am doing something wrong.Thanks very much.

Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I've been asked to do a quick job for a client that involves getting random results back from a SQL query.
The query will have one paramater - @country - and this will be in the where eg.
select * from Holidays
where country = @country
What the client wants is to randomly pick 3 results and display them on each page load (the site is in Classic ASP, not .NET) and randomise the offers on each page load.
The query is simple but how can you factor in a Random into it?
Hope someone can help,

Hi guys, I have a car_race table which has these fields
car_id int
race_id int
b_car_won varchar // can have 'y' or 'n'
I need to know if the car lost the 1st race but won the next race
And example of that table for car_id 1:
car_id 1
race_id 1
b_car_won 'NO'
car_id 1
race_id 2
b_car_won 'YES'
Now this is the tricky part, the database has some data integrity issues, so this can occur:
car_id 1
race_id 1
b_car_won 'NO'
car_id 1
race_id 3
b_car_won 'YES'
So I cant used a fixed race_id value, need to use the race_id > 1 to know whats the next race. But this raises another issue if I have this in the database:
car_id 1
race_id 1
b_car_won 'NO'
car_id 1
race_id 3
b_car_won 'YES'
car_id 1
race_id 4
b_car_won 'YES'
If I query I'd get 2 rows where race_id > 1. And I only need the first one, because 3 is the next race.
I need to fetch in a single row if possible, the result of the 1st race and the 2nd race. How can I do this?

Hi all. I have tried making this query for a while and i didn't manage to.
I know it is something related to JOIN, but i didn't manage to make it work :
I have two tables.
Table1- db_stockprices
Table2- db_stockSymbols
db_stockprices is getting updated every day with stock daily prices.
db_stockprices looks like:
ID, SymbolID, Price,Date
1 1 33.21 1/1/2007
2 1 33.14 1/2/2007
3 1 34.21 1/3/2007
4 2 11.42 1/1/2007
5 2 11.73 1/2/2007
6 3 18.32 1/1/2007
7 3 19.11 1/2/2007
8 3 18.41 1/3/2007
9 4 52.44 1/1/2007
and so on for all the stocks.
ID is Primary Key
SymbolID is related to SymbolID in db_stockSymbols which contains all the stock information.
What i am trying to do is an SQL QUERY that will delete all same SymbolID Rows if a specific INPUT date do not exist within that SymbolID.
Example:
If the INPUT date for the query is 1/3/2007 all rows with SymbolID "2" abd "4" will be deleted since 1/3/2007 does not exist in SymbolID "2" and "4". Moreover, the row in db_stockSymbols with SymbolID "2" and "4" will also be deleted.
Is this possible within 1 SQL Query?
I would really appreciate a good query example for this example..

Hi,
I got a problem.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version.
And I created a Compact database.
I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form.
then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me.
After that, I used program to insert record into this table.
Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records.
I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right?
Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?
Thanks a lot!
And Merry X'max!!!
Hi,
I have a query thatI need to make into one query for the sake of an application reading only one cursor.

from a10 a inner join escrow d on a.escrow = d.escrowinner join e120 j on j.escrow = d.escrow where j.id_scr = 'e21' and j.fstatus = 'PAID' group by a.officer
The error message i'm recieving is the following:

Hello,
I'm a bit new to MS-SQL so i thought maybe you could help me.
This is my prob. I have an Access application that i have upsized to a MS-SQL server. I have a query based on 3 tables: Customers, Companys and Payreminders. When i run this query, i can't add new records or make any changes.
If i only run the query with the tables: companys and payreminders i can add new records and edit them. If i run a query that's based on companys and customers, i can edit and add new records, but when i run the query based on companys and customers i can't add or edit records.
companys, payreminders: Editable
payreminders, companys: Editable
Companys, customers: Non editable
Companys, payreminders, customers: Non editable
Something must go wrong when i use the companys and customers table. Can anybody help or give a suggestion what to do.
Thanks.
