Keeping Tables Sorted
Nov 28, 2003
we have a simple table
Key, Name, Address, City, State, Zip ................ect
I would like to keep this table sorted by Name, theirfore I won't have to sort my results with every querry.
I think I need to add something to my insert to tell my table - "Hay take Jones", open up the prober place and stick him in the proper spot.
Ex: We have Appleby and Robertson in our table now. My insert would tell SQL Server to take Jones, figure our where he belongs (alpha), and stick him in, resulting in.
Appleby
Jones
Robertson
This way I wont have to as the querry to sort stuff every time I reference this table, this will save lots and lots of overhead. and help keep my clients happy with quick(er) response.
thanks in advance -arthur

Is there a way to join tables that have multiple matches to each other (2 records in one table and 2 in another) so that you get 2 records returned instead of 4 with only 1 JOIN ON qualifier?
In our warehouse DB, there is a master location table, an inventory location table, and physical table for counting all product in the warehouse. The master location table has one record per location, but there could be multiple items in that location so my outer join from the master location to the inventory table returns something like:
select M.MASTER_LOC, C.AS ORIG_ITEM, C.ORIG_LOT, C.ORIG_QTY
from
M_LOC M LEFT OUTER JOIN
C_INVT C ON M.MASTER_LOC = C.INVT_LOC
order by M.LOC_CODE
LOCATION ITEM LOT QTY
01-01-A 100 abc 25
01-02-A NULL NULL NULL
01-03-A 200 def 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 50
My problem is adding the third counted inventory table because it could look like anything depending on what we find in the racks:
LOCATION ITEM LOT QTY
01-01-A 100 abc 25 (exact match)
01-02-A 150 cba 75 (Item found)
01-03-A 200 ghi 50 (LOT swapped)
01-03-A 300 def 50 (Item Changed)
My join is returning 4 rows for location 01-03-A which I understand, but I'm wondering if I can sort within the join or make some temp tables so that instead of:
select M.MASTER_LOC, C.AS ORIG_ITEM, C.ORIG_LOT, C.ORIG_QTY, E.AS CNTD_ITEM, E.CNTD_LOT, E.CNTD_QTY
from
M_LOC M LEFT OUTER JOIN
C_INVT C ON M.MASTER_LOC = C.INVT_LOC LEFT OUTER JOIN
E_PHYS_INVT E ON M.MASTER_LOC = E.LOC_CODE
order by M.LOC_CODE
LOC1 ITEM LOT QTY LOC2 ITEM LOT QTY
01-03-A 200 def 50 01-03-A 200 ghi 50
01-03-A 200 def 5001-03-A 300 def 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 5001-03-A 200 ghi 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 5001-03-A 300 def 50
I'd like to just end up with 2 lines sorted by location, item, lot, qty so I can see that there is a problem with that location.
LOC1 ITEM LOT QTY LOC2 ITEM LOT QTY
01-03-A 200 def 5001-03-A 200 ghi 50
01-03-A 200 ghi 5001-03-A 300 def 50

I have four fields in two different tables.
ID, field1, field2 and field3 in Table 1 has value 1 or 0. Type integer.
ID, field1, field2 and field3 in table2 are text fields.
If field1 in table1 has value 1, then there should be a text value in corresponding field in table2. That is, in field1 in table2.
However, if there is value 0 in field1 in table1 there should not be any value in the corresponding field in table2.
Now it is not always so, which do that I want to make a track of which fields miss match in these two tables.
How do I list them on the smartest ways? ID links the tables.

Hi guys,
The result of my query I am not able to get it sorted by months.Here is my query & the output.
declare @tbl as table(date datetime,amt int)
insert into @tbl
select '2-jan-2008',100 union all
select '15-jan -2008',200 union all
select '20-jan -2008',500 union all
select '12-jan-2008',300 union all

select Months,SumAmt,MaxAmt,MinAmt from
(
select datename(mm,date)as Months,sum(amt)as SumAmt,min(amt)as MinAmt,max(amt)as MaxAmt,row_number()
over(partition by datename(mm,date) order by datename(mm,date))as rowid from @tbl
group by datename(mm,date)
)t
The result is
Months SumAmt MaxAmt MinAmt

Hi,
I am a newbie so this might be a very basic question. I have a table that not sorted. So I write a query to sort the table like this
Select * from custInfo where custID <> '0' order by custID Desc
Now obviously I have a selection of the original table in desc order. Now I want to get the first custId from thid Desc selection. How do I do this.
So if the unsorted table looked like this
001 Martha
005 Steve
002 Mike
003 David
and the sorted selection looks like this
005 Steve
003 David
002 Mike
001 Martha
And then I want to select Steve's custID which is 005. how do i do this.
Thanks in advance.

If a component requires a sorted input it would seem reasonable that you can check the IsSorted property of the attached input, but this will always return false. I have tried this when connecting the output of the Sort transform to my component, and then check the IsSorted property for this input. It is always false. How can this be, and also how can I see if the path is indeed sorted?
If using a virtual input column in my UI, I get a SortKeyPosition on the columns, but when overriding SetUSageType in the component class I always get zero for the key. Why is the sort information not quite there for me?

I have four tables that need to be loaded into an ASP.NET application. They need to be loaded together into one result set and sorted. Is it possible to load four tables together and sort them using an SQL statement?
To clarify, say I have the following data:
Table1: Anglesey, Cardiff, Ceredigion
Table2: London, Dorset, Lancashire
Table3: Antrim, Armagh
Table4: Glasgow, Berwick, Edinburgh
I'd want the data retrieved from all four tables and sorted so that the data retrieved would be:
Anglesey, Antrim, Armagh, Berwick, Cardiff, Ceredigion, Dorset, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lancashire, London
I am aware of and am using the SELECT ... ORDER BY feature of MSSQL in my present ASP.NET application to retrieve from single database tables. I'm using merged datasets and a sort method to solve the above problem at the moment.

Hi All,
I'm new to SQL Server.
I have the following table in a database of SQL Server 2005 Express.
ColA ColB
----- -----
A 12
A 10
B 50
B 13
What I want to achieve is the following result :
Col A Aggr
----- ------
A 2,12
B 13, 50
I tried the following query :
SELECT ColA, dbo.Concatenate(ColB) as Aggr
FROM
(SELECT TOP(100) PERCENT ColA, ColB
FROM TABLE_A
ORDER BY ColB) AS Derived_A
GROUP BY ColA
where Concatenate is the CLR User-defined aggreate function written in C#.
What I want to do is to first sort the rows on ColB and then to execute aggregate function over the sorted rows so as to get the above-mentioned results. However, what I got is the following
Col A Aggr
----- ------
A 2,12
B 50,13 -- not sorted
I learnt from the SQL Server documentation that even though the ORDER BY clause is presented in the subquery, the query result is not guaranteed to be sorted. Only ORDER BY clause used in the outer query should work. So, how should this problem be solved? One way of which I'm thinking is to do the sorting in the aggregate function, but I'm worrying if this is harmful to the performance. Could anyone help me to solve the problem?
Thanks!
Regards,
Nathan

In the database I am querying, there is a field called "group". I can find out when "group" changes with a time field that was logged whenever group changes. I am trying to find what the value was changed into.
Code:
SELECT
Assignment_Log.DBID,
Assignment_Log.Assigned_Group,
Assignment_Log.Submit_Date
FROM Assignment_Log
This will tell me:
The unique ID of the database
The group it was assigned FROM
The time the assignment took place
I need to find the assignment TO
so what I need to do for the last column is something along the lines of...
Find the next record after the current record by looking at the next Submit_Date and view the Assigned_Group.
If no "next record" can be found, leave the cell empty.
is this possible?

Hi there,
I have a matrix report that shows a certain columns and rows. I need a row counter to show me the amount of rows in that matrix but it doesn't count properly by using the expression: =Int(RowNumber("matrix1") -1)
I actually don't have any idea on what this expression should be to fix the row count...to illustrate what I get in the report:
______________________________________________________________________________
Chkp | Row | Serial No | Call of Date |Colour| Pillar | AV | Sport | USA | SRA | TAPE |
2019 | 1 | 7006892 | 2003/02/11 | 3644 | 78222 | 3902 | 9182 | | | |
| 3 | 7000123 | 2003/02/11 | 3299 | 17283 | | 9238 | 2793 | | |
| 5 | 7302031 | 2004/01/11 | 3902 | 28932 | | 3233 | 2332 | | |
| 7 | 7273211 | 2004/02/08 | 6727 | 39232 | 8228 | 3293 | | | |
| 8 | 7382728 | 2004/11/11 | 7822 | 32342 | 3902 | | | | |
| 13 | 7342934 | 2004/12/03 | 8323 | 23422 | 2031 | 9212 | 2934 | 2934 | 2982 |
| 18 | 7329491 | 2004/13/02 | 8291 | 92423 | 7922 | 0231 | 2342 | 2355 | 2223 |
| 22 | 7328438 | 2004/12/22 | 8399 | 92311 | | 0289 | 8392 | | 3982 |
As you can see above, the row count numbers are not lining up at all, it starts at 1, then jumps 2 every count then all of a sudden jumps 5 per line...a pattern that is interesting but difficult to understand. The unique value in this matrix is that serial number but even though i group it by the serial number, it still gives me the funny Row count values.
What would be the approach to solving this?
Regards
Mike

So if an item is a bottle, it will have a unique BottleKey and Null for CaseKey and if an item is a Case, it will have a unique CaseKey and Null for BottleKey. However, the PrimaryIDs are the same for both the bottle and case. I get the results to look like this:
Bottlekey CaseKey PrimaryID
4754 NULL ABC-234
NULL 5465 ABC-234
.... .... .......
Is there a way to get the result sorted by Primary ID?
So that the rows are halved from what we have in the table above and the results look like
PrimaryID CaseKey BottleKey
ABC-234 5465 4754

My excel file have 2000 rows and 100 columns of data. All the data are imported in relevant attributes cells in good manner. But the rows are sorted automatically. I am trying to say that first row data is match with my excel file. But second row data have gone to 7th row and 7th row have gone to 5th row like that. I need the data sequence what I have in my excel file. What is the problem occurred? How can I solve this?
Can I export my MS Excel 2003 file to MS SQL Server database?

i have a table and a column called req_id, i have it set as the primary key.. so if i just do SELECT * FROM table, shouldnt the rows returned be sorted by the order that the rows were inserted?
this database was improted from an access database.. when i did that in access it would return the rows in sorted order by the order the row was inserted.. but now in MS SQL, its not sorted in that order.. i can't really tell what type of order it's in

I have some relatively simple SQL that acts differently between SQL Server 2000 and 2005. Although it is easy to fix I'd like to know if this difference is expected (documented) or a bug, and if there is perhaps a setting/switch I can use to avoid a code review of hundreds of stored procs to look for similar scenarios. Executed the following script in SQL Server 2005 –CREATE TABLE #Floats(FloatID INT IDENTITY,FloatNumber FLOAT NOT NULL)DECLARE @sngCounter floatSET @sngCounter = 20WHILE @sngCounter >= 0BEGININSERT INTO #Floats ( FloatNumber ) VALUES( @sngCounter )SET @sngCounter = @sngCounter - 1ENDSELECT * FROM (SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT * FROM #Floats ORDER BY FloatNumber) AS FloatNumbersDROP TABLE #FloatsGOProduces the following resultset –FloatID FloatNumber----------- -----------1 202 193 184 175 166 157 148 139 1210 1111 1012 913 814 715 616 517 418 319 220 121 0In SQL Server 2000 resultset is this –FloatID FloatNumber----------- --------21 0.020 1.019 2.018 3.017 4.016 5.015 6.014 7.013 8.012 9.011 10.010 11.09 12.08 13.07 14.06 15.05 16.04 17.03 18.02 19.01 20.0

I'm doing a data conversion with one of my fields (SUMDWK) from one of the tables that will be used in a merge join. With the new, converted field, I do a look up. From this look up, I want to take a new field FiscalWeekOfYear, and replace the original field, SUMDWK. This is necessary because SUMDWK is one of the sorted fields. In the look up, it is not possible to change the Output Alias. Does anybody know a way around this? Thanks.

before anyone even says it, i checked the collation order on everything and it's the same. i get the error when the snapshot is trying to be bulk copied to the subscriber.
i'm on sql2k sp4, server and db collations are SQL_Latin1_General_SP1_CI_AS. here's a repro. 1st, run this in a blank db:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Event_Transactions]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Event_Transactions]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Event_Transactions] (

[OrphanedFlag] [bit] NOT NULL ,
[ProcessedFlag] [bit] NOT NULL ,
[ProcessedTimeStamp] [datetime] NULL ,
[EventTimeStamp] [datetime] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [EventTransactions_IDX_ProcessedOrphanedEventTimeSt amp] ON [Event_Transactions] (
[ProcessedFlag],
[OrphanedFlag],
[EventTimeStamp]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Event_Transactions] ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_Event_Transactions] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[EventTransactionId]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert into Event_Transactions (
OrphanedFlag
,ProcessedFlag
,ProcessedTimeStamp
,EventTimeStamp
)
values (
1
,0
,NULL
,'2004-05-07 15:15:24.000'
)
insert into Event_Transactions (
OrphanedFlag
,ProcessedFlag
,ProcessedTimeStamp
,EventTimeStamp
)
values (
0
,1
,'2004-07-08 13:04:01.513'
,'2004-07-07 16:52:08.000'
)
Now, use transactional replication to replicate it to another db taking all the defaults. when the distribution agent tries to apply the snapshot, it fails with the message mentioned in the title..
Has anyone ever seen this? It's keeping us from considering MS replication for one of our major products. Thanks.

The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).
While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.
What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.
Declare @ID int
If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' )
Begin
--Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column.
SET @id = 0
UPDATE tmpMHPCLMDET
SET @id = ServiceLineID = @id + 1;

Any fix for the seemingly random sort order of the variables in the dropdown list when configuring parameters and connection managers in the SSISDB catalog?
I imported all of our connection strings into an environment (about 200 of them). They were inserted in alpha order and the ID values within the internal.environment_variables table shows them in order as well, by ID and by name.
When I run profiler and capture the command that retrieves them and run it in ssms they are in order but in the dropdown they seem random.
There are no values within any of the tables that accounts for the order they are in.
If a package has 5 connections you need to go through the unsorted list 5 times to find them.
Sometimes you get lucky and they are in the first 20 or so.
I know I can write a script, just wondering if there is a fix for the sorting.

I have a database that has entries that I want sorted by date order. Each entry has an auto ID number allocated (primary key auto sequencing), which I want to change to reflect the sorting (so the first date has the first auto ID number and so on).I've gone into the database and sorted the entries as I want them. Then I've gone into Design View to delete and restablish the primary key autosequence. However, it is not keeping the date order in the database (ie entry ID 3140 date is 12/06/2015, but 3141 is 02/02/2012). How do I get it to maintain the order?

I'm somewhat new to report builder and have been trying to recreate a report previously created in an Excel Pivot Table. I'm encountering an issue arranging the data the way it's arranged in Excel.Â
Specifically, I would like the values column to precede an additional column. Â
Until I can post pictures I'll have to try and mock it:
COLUMNS
Values
Results (my data I want as a 2nd column)
I can't figure out how to get report builder to do it the same way. Whenever I add the 'Result' data as a column it always appears on top. I'm guessing what I need to do is somehow get result set as a child of the first Static group, but I'm unsure how to do that.

I have created the 2 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to both.
I have created the two derived columns headers and am now moving on to the merge.
It is failing with the following error:
"the input is not sorted"
And whilst I definitely have an order by on the query, when I look at the metadata between the datasource and the derived column, the Sort Key Position items displays "0" for all my fields, I was expecting the sort field to have a "1" in this column. What am I missing?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi all, here are my goals: Have the same DB on two different stand-alone computers, and keep them up-to-date from each other.
Basically a user would input to a DB for a week. Then every week or two, update the other stand alone DB with the new input. The DB would be exactly the same.
What are my options for this? I'd like it as easy as possible! Are there any software packages that deal with this type of transfer, etc.? Thank you!

Hi, I have the following code in a query:
SELECT [Issue date],DATEDIFF("dd",[Issue date],[Start date])/365 AS runningdays
FROM Database1..[Insurance Policies Working DB]
WHERE [Policy Number] LIKE '%1368529%'
The part 'DATEDIFF("dd",[Issue date],[Start date])' comes out as 364 if calculated on its own. However, then when it is divided by 365 it comes out as 0. How do I get it to show as a decimal instead of just rounding it down automatically? (Hope I've made sense)
Thanks in advance

Hi
We need to keep track of all changes that are made to our tables.
The changes will be saved in a table that records:
- the table in which the change was made
- the name of the field that was changed
- the old data for the field
- the new data for the field etc..
I've seen a few examples that record the name of the table that was
modified but none that record done to the field level.
Can anybody give some guidance?
Thanks..
Wayne

I need to update a row but keep a lock on the table (so no one else can update it) while I do run some more code. In Oracle, it always locks whatever you update until you hit commit, but sql server works opposite. How do I tell it not to commit a statement, or how would I explicitly get a lock and then release it later?
