I am trying to order two date columns. One Ascending theother Descending. I am using the Orders table of Northwind in SQLServer. No idea why, but it only sorts on the first column I setcriteria on. I think you have to convert it to date as it gets storedas date/time...I triedSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT OrderID, CustomerID, EmployeeID, OrderDate,CONVERT(char(10), RequiredDate, 103) AS RequiredDate,CONVERT(char(10), ShippedDate, 103) AS ShippedDate, ShipVia,Freight, ShipName, ShipAddress, ShipCity, ShipRegionFROM dbo.OrdersORDER BY RequiredDate, ShippedDate DESCBut odd results occuredAny ideas appreciated
I'm somewhat new to SQL Server and I am having a problem with sorting dates. The 12/1999 dates keep appearing before the 1/2000 dates in a decending sort. The latest service pack is installed.
AS SELECT CONVERT(varchar, Log_DateTime, 103) AS Date_Logged_In, Log_Username as Username, COUNT(Log_Username) AS No_Logins FROM tblUserLog Where Log_Printed =0 GROUP BY CONVERT(varchar, Log_DateTime, 103) , CONVERT(varchar, Log_DateTime, 103), Log_Username ORDER BY Date_Logged_In desc, No_Logins desc
I am using Cold Fusion and running the following SQL command -
SELECT DISTINCT LEFT(registerdate, 11) AS registerdate, COUNT(LEFT(registerdate, 11)) AS count FROM jobseeker WHERE (stateid IS NOT NULL) GROUP BY LEFT(registerdate, 11) ORDER BY registerdate
My report is ordered by mmm dd, yyyy, which has my Jan 2008 data appearing between my Feb 2008 data and Jun 2007 data. I woudl rather order this by yyyy/mm/dd. Maybe I've missed it somewhere, but I can't find how to do this in any of the documentation I've looked through! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
for some odd reason our other programmer used varchar datatype to store dates. he claims it gives him more control. now i am trying to sort it based on date. so i create a procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllWeekEnding
AS Select convert(datetime, we) as we2 FROM tblArchive order by we2 GO
if i use the convert function in the procedure, i'll get an error msg when i run the code. this is the code i am using.
Dim MyConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStringSQL")) Dim MyCommand As SqlCommand
MyCommand = New SqlCommand("GetAllWeekEnding", MyConnection) MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure MyConnection.Open()
Dim mydr As SqlDataReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader() While mydr.Read() DropDownList1.Items.Add(mydr("we2")) End While
mydr.Close() MyConnection.Close()
the error message is: No accessible overloaded 'ListItemCollection.Add' can be called without a narrowing conversion
When clicking on the header for the Date Created column in EM (SQL Server 2000) , in the tables list for a database, I noticed that the tables don't get sorted by created date at all - looks like random order, without looking too close.
Is this is a bug (probably not??) or some kind of collation-related problem?
I have a set of data with epoch timestamps. Purely for the sake of reporting, I need to pull the last six months of data and group it by month. I have tried searching the googles for epoch/milliseconds to datetime but I only get the MySQL or Oracle results, not MSSQL.
I am using Access 2003 as a front-end to a SQL Server 2005 database.I make design changes using SQL Server Management Studio. I have atable that includes a datetime column. I create a view and sort bythe datetime field. When I initially look at the result it is sortedcorrectly. Then I save the view and re-open it and it is not sorted.I've simplified the view so it only contains the date field and itstill does not sort. Here is the view:SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT Period_DateFROM dbo.Period_SummaryORDER BY Period_Date DESCThe date seems to be a random order.I don't have this problem in the SQL Server 2000 version of thedatabase.Help please!Thanks,Jerry
I create a Dimension Date using SSAS 2008 but when i execute the dimension and i go to see the result i have this result:the result is not sorted..what i need is having the result order by year i mean i have Calendrier 2020,Calendrier 2019 ...
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
HiI am using SQL 2005, VB 2005I am trying to insert a record using parameters using the following code as per MotLey suggestion and it works finestring insertSQL; insertSQL = "INSERT INTO Issue(ProjectID, TypeofEntryID, PriorityID ,Title, Area) VALUES (@ProjectID, @TypeofEntryID, @PriorityID ,@Title, @Area)"; cmdInsert SqlCommand; cmdInsert=new SqlCommand(insertSQL,conn); cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("@ProjectID",SqlDbType.Varchar).Value=ProjectID.Text; My query is how to detail with dates my previous code wasinsertSQL += "convert(datetime,'" + DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy") + "',3), '";I tried the code below but the record doesn't save?string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yy"); insertSQL = "INSERT INTO WorkFlow(IssueID, TaskID, TaskDone, Date ,StaffID) VALUES (@IDIssue, @IDTask, @TaskDone, convert(DateTime,@Date,3),@IDStaff)"; cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("IDIssue", SqlDbType.Int).Value = IDIssue.ToString();cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("IDTask",SqlDbType.Int).Value = IDTask.Text;cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("TaskDone",SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TaskDoneTxtbox.Text;cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("Date",SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = date;cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("IDStaff",SqlDbType.Int).Value = IDStaff.Text;Could someone point to me in the right direction?Thanks in advance
We are using a modeling technique called Anchor Modeling in our data warehouses. You can read more about the technique itself at our homepage http://www.intellibis.se, where we have published a fact sheet and a recently held presentation (TDWI European conference). One of the features with this technique is its simple way to historize data. This is done by having a fromDate column which together with the surrogate key will yield a unique combination. On the tables that has this kind of historization we add a primary key, which in turn will create a clustered index, with the following specification (surrogateKey asc, fromDate desc). This will physically order data on the storage media according to the specificed columns and ordering. Now I move on to create a "latest view" of this table which does a subselect to find the latest version for every surrogateKey using max(fromDate). Should not the optimizer now figure out that data is ordered so that the latest version always comes first for every surrogateKey, hence any sorting would be unneccessary? If I look at the actual execution plan after running a query that uses the view there is a sort in the plan, but the cost is always 0%. Does this mean that it did not sort the data, or that it did call a sorting routine, but it actually took very little time to do the sorting? If so, is there a reason that is has to do the sorting or could it have been left out by an even smarter optimizer?
I would also like to applaud the people behind the optimizer, since it will figure out which tables are in fact necessary to query and eliminate others, even if I have left joined them into the view I am using. This speeds up performance and makes anchor modeling feasible. Unfortunately optimizers from other vendors seem to have trouble doing this...
I've been racking my brain all day and I finally decided to ask for help. I've got two tables with rows from the first that need to be sorted by the second. The problem is that the rows don't always exist in the second table. I've tried various forms of INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, OUTER, LEFT OUTER, CROSS, etc., etc., etc. and nothing (oh yeah UNION too). Every time I get close, I lose the records that don't have matches.
Something close-
SELECT A.IDDoc, B.First FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON A.IDDoc = B.IDDoc WHERE B.Dept = 'A' ORDER BY B.First
My goal is to select values from the same date range for a month on month view to compare values month over month. I've tried using the date trunc function but I'm not sure what the best way to attack this is. My thoughts are I need to somehow select first day of every month + interval 'x days' (but I don't know the syntax).In other words, I want to see
Select Jan 1- 23rd feb 1-23rd march 1-23rd april 1-23rd ,value from table
I have: 4 tables and 1 table variable. CCenters (ID, Name) Campaigns (ID, Name) Rel (ID, CCenterID, CampaignID) - [many to many] and @SCampaigns (ID, CampaignID) - represents the selected campaigns by the user
performing the commands below I would get the centers associated with the campaigns selected.SELECT CCenterID FROM Rel INNER JOIN @Campaigns ON @SCampaigns.CampaignID = Rel.CampaignID But what I really want are the common centers to the selected campaigns. Thanks
I am trying to select a record from a table where it has the smallest priority how would you go about doing this is there a cool sort command or is there a select command syntax that can do this thanks
I've made this example and it loads a picture into a database. (MsSql )Take a look at the code, it works just fine however it leaves a process in sleeping mode "avaiting command" in Enterprise manager under "Management/current Activity/Process Info"Is it supposed to be like this or is it supposed to be reemoved after .net is finished??Code snip_______________________________________________________ Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source = (local);Initial Catalog = " & "test;User ID = NAME; Password=PASSWORD;") Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("Select * from tab_bild", cnn) Try conn.Open() Dim myDatareader As SqlDataReader myDatareader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) Do While (myDatareader.Read()) Response.ContentType = myDatareader.Item("PersonImageType") Response.BinaryWrite(myDatareader.Item("PersonImage")) Loop conn.Close() Response.Write("Picture info succesfully retrieved") Catch SQLexc As SqlException Response.Write("Read failed, Reason: " & SQLexc.ToString()) End Try End Sub________________________________________________________________Please can someone explain this for me or sort this out for me.All help is welcome even if its only points me too a direction.RegardsTombola
I have a table that most of the data has the same value, but there are only a few that do not match that value. I want to populate a listbox with all values from the table, but I'd like to have the majority listed first, followed by the others (the few that don't matach). What's the best way to approach this with SQL?
I'm trying to setup a duplicate of an old SQL Server 4.2 server to put in place while we upgrade the server, but I can't get the sort-order right. I know the existing server uses sort order id 40, but I can't find which sort-order that corresponds to during the install process. If anyone can give me a system table that lists all the sort orders names and id's, or can tell me what the text name for sort order 40 is, I would be very grateful.
I have a table with 3 columns. Product, Location and Value. The data looks like this:
NULL NULL 100 Atlanta NULL 50 Atlanta Cookie1 30 Atlanta Cookie2 20 Dallas NULL 120 Dallas Cookie1 80 Dallas Cookie2 40
This table gets filled with a Groupby with Rollup option. The NULLS show subtotals/total. Is there a way to build a query that returns the results with NULLs at the bottom of each section like:
Atlanta Cookie1 30 Atlanta Cookie2 20 Atlanta NULL 50 Dallas Cookie1 80 Dallas Cookie2 40 Dallas NULL 120 NULL NULL 100
I need to copy the structure and data of an existing SQL 6.5 server to one with a different sort order. Normally, I would use the transfer tool to accomplish this, but the servers are on different networks. My question is, is BCP the answer? In other words, will the data copied via BCP from the sending server be able to be copied on the recieiving server. Also, is there a way to automatically generate the BCP statements for all tables? What I would really like is to be able to get at the scripts and data files created by the transfer tool.
