How To Use ORDER BY Clause In An SELECT DISTINCT Sql Query When AS SINGLECOLUMN Is Defined?
Mar 22, 2008
Hi,
I wonder if its possible to perform a ORDER BY clause in an SELECT DISTINCT sql query whereby the AS SINGLECOLUMN is used. At present I am recieving error: ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified. My guess is that I cant perform the Order By clauses because it cant find the columns individually. It is essentail I get this to work somehow...
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

2 examples:
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message
Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
,u.id
Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
It reproducible on
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
and
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS
If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.
Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

Hello i have a query that returns the majority of the data into a SingleColumn. The problem i am having is using a WHERE and LIKE clause on this query:
SELECT DISTINCT (dbo.AuthorList(publicationID))+ '.' + ISNULL(' Editor: '+Publication.editor, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '''+Publication.title+''' ', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' Book: '''+Publication.booktitle+''' ', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.type, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.journal, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' Series: '+Publication.series+'.', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.school, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.institution, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.organisation, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.month, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' ('+convert(nvarchar, Publication.year)+')', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.publisher, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.address+'.', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.howpublished, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' Ed: '+convert(nvarchar, Publication.edition)+'.', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' '+Publication.note, '')+ '' + ISNULL(' Vol '+Publication.volume+'.', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' No '+Publication.number+'.', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' Pages '+Publication.pages+'.', '')+ '' + ISNULL(' Chapter '+Publication.chapter+'.', '') AS SingleColumn, Publication.publicationID, Publication.abstract FROM Publication WHERE ([SingleColumn] LIKE '%' + @authorName + '%')">
The error says that SingleColumn is an invalid column name. I guess this is because the first part of the query is the part actually creating the existence of the SingleColumn. Is there any other way i can get round this?

I'm having this query:SELECTss.subscription_id AS SubscriptionId,s.id AS ScopeId,s.[name] AS ScopeName,s.base AS ScopeBase,dbo.iqGetShapesByScopeAsString(s.id) AS ShapesAsStringFROMsubscription_scope ss,scope sWHEREss.subscription_id = @subscription_idANDss.scope_id = s.idORDER BYs.[name]The select only returns a single row but my database (SQL Server 2005CTP) seems to execute the "iqGetShapesByScopeAsString" function foreach row in the subscription_scope and scope tables. This is a bug,right? The function should be executed only once for each *returned*row in the SELECT, right? I believe that was the case in SQL 2k thoughI can't check it at the moment.// pt

I am trying to display items from a table that have a type. For each condition there are between 7 and 10 types. I am looping through each type and displaying all items in that type. I am using DISTINCT to pull the types and count them, so I know how many there are and how times to loop. My problem is that DISTINCT is ordering the types alphabetically! I want them in the same order they went into the table. I tried adding ORDER BY primaryID, but got an error that said I also had to select primaryID as well as type, so now I am selecting every item that fits the condition and not just the DISTINCT types! Is there any way to make it order by column_position? I am using SQL 2K.

Say I have a result set with two fields numbers and letters.
1 A3 A1 B2 B
The result set is ordered by the letters column. How can I select the distinct numbers from the result set but maintain the current order? When I tryselect distinct Number from MyResultSet
it will reorder the new result set by the Number field and return
123
However, I'd like maintain the Letter order and return

I want to get the most earlier date distinct records.
I try to use "SELECT DISTINCT MyID from Table;"
I expect to get Myid: 2,3,1,4
But the computer returns Myid:1,2,3,4
Is there a way to get the records using
"SELECT DISTINCT MyID from Table ORDER BY MyDate;"

This query demonstrates a problem I have run across:
USE AdventureWorks
GO
-- This query works fine.
SELECT DISTINCT FirstName AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName
GO
-- This query also works fine.
SELECT ISNULL(FirstName, '') AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName
GO
-- This query returns error 145
SELECT DISTINCT ISNULL(FirstName, '') AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName
GO
The last query returns the error "ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified".
It will work if I change ORDER BY to use "Name1" instead of "FirstName", but in the situation I have at hand, the query is generated by third-party software and I don't have the ability to change it.
Can anyone explain why what's going on here? Oddly, this same query will work if I run it against SQL Server 2000.

The stored procedure, below, results in this error when I try to compile...
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertImportedReportData, Line 69
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.
However the select statement itself runs perfectly well as a query, no errors.
The T-SQL manual says you can't use the keywords COMPUTE, COMPUTE BY, FOR BROWSE, and INTO in a cursor select statement, but nothing about plain old ORDER BYs.
What gives with this?

Greetings,
I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.
How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC
END
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index]
END
Thanks

Hi all,Just wondering if anyone can tell me if an order by clause on a selectquery would have any impact on the time it takes to retrieve results?Essentially I'm selecting Top 1 out of a table via various criteriaand currently getting it back without an order by clause. The order bywould only include the column that has the clustered primary index onit.Can anyone tell me if in theory this will slow the query down?Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murrau

In my BM_Maps subform, there is a combo box called called Borders. I want the borders to be filtered based on product series, so if the user picks "City Guide", they only get city guide borders, so I have added a table called Product_Series_X_Border which has the product series and border id.
I have a query which joins two tables, and I've ordered it by the border name, which works fine, until I add a where clause for the product series from the other table. I have attached a screengrab which I hope works. I have tried joining other tables but it still doesn't work. Is there any other way I can order by border name with the where clause? I've tested with individual product series as the where clause with the same result.

Hello, I want to do a DISTINCT SELECT query with more than one field, for example a ID field with a Type field, as if both fields make the primary key, like (ID 1 ,Type 1) ,( ID 1, Type 2) and (ID 2, Type 1) is ok but not (ID 1, Type1) and (ID 1,Type 1) if its not possible to do a distinct with more than one then what other techniques are possible to get the duplicate data out. the reason why I want to use distinct is that I can use that query to export that data to where both of these fields make the primary key.
Thanks in advance

I need to return the current case cost for every UPC in my table. In my current query I return case costs that have an effective date of today or earlier. The problem is that in my results, one UPC may have two or more case costs that were are effective <= GETDATE(). I can sort it by effective date (DESC) so I know the first of every UPC in my results will be the current effective case cost, but how do I modify my query so that in my result set I only get the first of every UPC?
Here is my query:
SELECT factCaseCosts.nUpcKey, factCaseCosts.dCaseCost, factCaseCosts.dtEffectiveDate
FROM factCaseCosts
WHERE (factCaseCosts.dtEffectiveDate <= GETDATE())
ORDER BY dtEffectiveDate DESC
Here is my current result set:
52023.762006-08-01 00:00:00
52023.762006-02-18 00:00:00

I only want the first 520 returned, the first 521 returned, the first 522 returned, and the first 523 returned.
How can I do this?

This is part of a query I have. I want to display the diagnosis code attached to a patient. Sometimes there are more than one which is why I have tried distinct. I am getting the message 'subquery returned more than 1 value...'
If I use MIN or MAX, its giving me the min possible diagnosis code alphabetically or the max, not the one actually assigned to the patient which is what I want.
(SELECT DISTINCT (Diagnosis.DiagnosisCode) FROM Diagnosis
LEFT OUTER JOIN CourseDiagnosis ON CourseDiagnosis.DiagnosisSer = Diagnosis.DiagnosisSer
LEFT JOIN Course ON Course.CourseSer = CourseDiagnosis.CourseSer
JOIN Patient ON Patient.PatientSer = Course.PatientSer
WHERE Diagnosis.ObjectStatus = 'Active' AND

Now my employer wants me to show only 1row when text and contact or the same. He doesn't mind which itemid I show.... but I have to show one.I've an idea of how to do this using a cursor and a temporary table but Iguess that will be fatal for the performance because then I have to loopthrough all selected rows, check each row with all other rows and store theprimary key in the temporary table if dedected it isn't double. AfterwardsI can execute ... SELECT ... FROM TABLE where primary key in (selecttemp_primarykey from #temptable).I hoped I could do everything in 1 "easy" SELECT but I should not know how?Any ideas are much appreciated.Thanks a lot.Perre Van Wilrijk.

I am getting the resultset sorted differently if I use a column number in the ORDER BY clause instead of a column name.
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition
Version: 9.00.1399.06
Server Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
for example,
create table test_sort
( description varchar(75) );
insert into test_sort values('Non-A');
insert into test_sort values('Non-O');
insert into test_sort values('Noni');
insert into test_sort values('Nons');
then execute the following selects:
select
*
from
test_sort
order by
cast( 1 as nvarchar(75));
select
*
from
test_sort
order by
cast( description as nvarchar(75));
Resultset1
----------
Non-A
Non-O
Noni
Nons
Resultset2
----------
Non-A
Noni
Non-O
Nons

Hi, I have the following script segment which is failing:
CREATE TABLE #LatLong (Latitude DECIMAL, Longitude DECIMAL, PRIMARY KEY (Latitude, Longitude))
INSERT INTO #LatLong SELECT DISTINCT Latitude, Longitude FROM RGCcache
When I run it I get the following error: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#LatLong__________7CE3D9D4'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#LatLong'."
Im not sure how this is failing as when I try creating another table with 2 decimal columns and repeated values, select distinct only returns distinct pairs of values.
The failure may be related to the fact that RGCcache has about 10 million rows, but I can't see why.
Any ideas?

Basically I'm running a number of selects, using unions to write out each select query as a distinct line in the output. Each line needs to be multiplied by -1 in order to create an offset balance (yes this is balance sheet related stuff) for each line. Each select will have a different piece of criteria.
Although I have it working, I'm thinking there's a much better or cleaner way to do it (I use the word better loosely)
Example:
SELECT 'Asset', 'House', TotalPrice * -1
FROM Accounts
WHERE AvgAmount > 0
UNION
SELECT 'Balance', 'Cover', TotalPrice
FROM Accounts
WHERE AvgAmount > 0
What gets messy here is having to write a similar set of queries where the amount is < 0 or = 0
I'm thinking something along the lines of building a table function contains all the descriptive text returning the relative values based on the AvgAmount I pass to it.
