Hello everyone, this is my first time to these boards. I've been running all around for the last few days trying to solve a problem. So far, on 3 forums, we haven't been able to find a solution.
I am using MS SQL 2005 Workgroup. I have catalog of events on my site. Each event can have a little as 0 up to an unlimited amount of Photos attached to them(in a seperate table.) Here's the basic breakdown.
catalog
-----------
id - PK
act_name
(price and other such info)
Photos
-----------
id - PK
path_to_photo
event_id - FK(catalog.id)
What I'm trying to do is select all the events in the catalog, and order them by the number of photos they have in the photos table. The idea is to get the events that have photos at the top of the list.
here is the query that I'm using right now.
Code:
SELECTCOUNT(photos.id) AS PhotoCount, catalog.id AS item_id, catalog.company, catalog.act_name,
catalog.location, catalog.price_adult,
catalog.price_child, catalog.short_description, catalog.photo, catalog.children_allowed,
catalog.long_description, catalog.online,
catalog.act_type, event_types.act_type AS evt_type,
event_types.id AS event_id, catalog.rank, catalog.length, catalog.bullets,
photos.id
FROM catalog, event_types, photos
WHERE catalog.act_type = event_types.id
AND photos.event_id = catalog.id
GROUP BY COUNT(photos.id), catalog.id, catalog.company, catalog.act_name
ORDER BY photos.id, catalog.id, catalog.company, catalog.act_name
Which returns the following error.
Column 'catalog.location' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
No matter what I do, I always seem to get an error. I've removed the Count in the select list, and that tells me that I cannot call Aggregate functions in the Group By list.
I'm trying to create a "Self-Referential, Many-to-Many" relationship under the Database Diagrams section in Sql Server 2005 express and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out where to click and edit to create what I want.
The url below links to the pictorial represenation of what i'm trying to create. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! http://www.communitymx.com/content/source/A1A63/diag.gif
For example, the table below, has a foreign key (ManagerId) that points to EmployeeId (primary key) of the same table. -------Employees table-------- EmployeeID . . . . . . . . . . int Name . . . . . . . . . . . nvarchar(50) ManagerID . . . . . . . . . . . int
If someone gave you an ID of a manager, and asked you to get him all employee names who directly or indirectly report to this manager. How can that be achieved?
Hi all, I have the following SQLDataSource statement which connects to my Gridview:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceStandings" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT P.firstName, P.lastName, T.teamName, IsNull(P.gamesPlayed, 0) as gamesPlayed, IsNull(P.plateAppearances,0) as plateAppearances, IsNull( (P.plateAppearances - (P.sacrifices + P.walks)) ,0) as atbats, IsNull(P.hits,0) as hits, P.hits/(CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF(P.atbats, 0), 1))) AS [average], (P.hits + P.walks)/(CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF( (P.atbats + P.sacrifices + P.walks) , 0), 1))) AS [OBP], (P.hits - (P.doubles + P.triples + P.homeRuns) + (2 * P.doubles) + (3 * P.triples) + (4 * P.homeRuns)) / (CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF(P.atbats, 0), 1))) AS [SLG], P.singles, P.doubles, P.triples, P.homeRuns, P.walks, P.sacrifices, P.runs, P.rbis FROM Players P INNER JOIN Teams T ON P.team = T.teamID ORDER BY P.firstName, P.lastName"></asp:SqlDataSource>There are 8 teams in the database, and somehow the average and obp results are as expected for all teams except where T.teamID = 1. This doesn't make sense to me at all! For example, I get the following results with this same query: First NameLast NameTeamGPPAABHAVGOBPSLG1B2B3BHRBBSACRRBI
ErikGalvezMelville82625180.7200000.7307691.24000011322101015 As you can see, all teams except for Safe Haven's have the correct AVG and OBP. Since AVG is simply H/AB, it doesn't make sense for Gabriel Helbig's results to be 1.00000. Can anyone shed ANY light on this please?Thank you in advance,Markuu ***As a side note, could anyone also let me know how I could format the output so that AVG and OBP are only 3 decimal places? (ex: 0.719 for the 1st result)***
SELECT [List1].[TITLE], [List1].[FORENAME], [List1].[SURNAME], [List1].[JOB] FROM List1 WHERE EXISTS( SELECT [List2].[forename] FROM [List2] WHERE [List2].[forename] = [List1].[FORENAME] AND [List2].[surname] = [List1].[SURNAME] AND [List2].[email] = [List1].[EMAIL] )
I am on the right track here, aren't I?
That query will.. sort of... loop through List1, get the "current" records firstname, surname and email, and then go and see if there's any single record in List2 that contains exactly that combination of values in those fields. It's a stupid question but I'm not the brightest of sparks and BOL leaves me even more confused. I'm just worried in case it's going "well, record 34 matches the current firstname and record 96 matches the current email, so EXISTS returns true".
Assuming I've got it right, though - many of the records that I know to be duplicates have a NULL email address. And the query above seems to be automatically removing them. If there's a record in both List1 and List2 with identical firstname and surname, and both have NULL email addresses - should the query above pick it up? If not, how can I include those records?
I have the following bit of code that is an onclick event to save information in text boxes and list boxes. I cut out a bunch that was irrelevant to this because ALL items in the text boxes save fine. My biggest question that should lead to the answers for the rest of the code, is for lines 53-57... That stored proceedure does not appear to run. All it is set to do is and the code is DEFINITELY getting passed into it but it almost seems like it isnt and therefoe isnt doing anything. I get no errors, just nothing happens. I would of thought at the very least, it should run this proceedure and delete the information from the table even if it wouldnt save the new information based on the listboxes. I am not sure if I am explaining this correctly, but if anyone has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it. The delete proceedure that isnt actually making a changeALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Delete_Team_Data] ( @Code as int ) AS

I have an interesting query problem. The result needs to be a single recordset as from a select statement, here's the prerequisites:
Tables: tShip tPerson tAddress tCertificate, has a field dtmExp (datetime)
where each Ship has one or more Persons which have one or more Addresses and each ship has one or more certificates.
Now, I need the query to return all ships, all persons and all addresses for those persons BUT ONLY the certificate with the latest expiration date (sort of like the result from a 'select top 1 from tCertificate order by dtmExp desc')
How can this be packed into one query? using inner joins on all tables will return multiple rows for each certficate for a ship, which it must not.
It's a dream of human beings to build machines that can think andbehave like human beings.

Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...
SQL Server Express edition
Visual Studios 2005
Jet 4.0 newest upgrade
.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)
VS2005 Security upgrade
Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?
I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express
In SQL sERVER 2008, I have two fields - Depatment and Employees. I need to sort the result set by employee number ascending order, with following exception
1)when department number = 50 - the preferred order is Employee # - 573 followed by 551-572 (employee # belong to Dept 50 = 551-573)
2)When Department number = 20 – the preferred sort order is Employee # 213-220, followed by Employee # 201-213 (employee # belong to Dept 20 = 201-220)
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?
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrder (PurchaseOrderDate, SupplierID) VALUES(@date, @SupplierID)
END
SET @POno = @@IDENTITY
RETURN
However, how do i make it that it will automatically adds item under the POno being gernerated? can i use a trigger so that whenever a Insert for PO is success, it automaticallys proceed to adding the items into the table PurcahseOrderItem?
hi basically what i have is 3 text boxes. one for start date, one for end date and one for order id, i also have this bit of SQL SelectCommand="SELECT [Order_ID], [Customer_Id], [Date_ordered], [status] FROM [tbl_order]WHERE (([Date_ordered] >= @Date_ordered OR @Date_ordered IS NULL) AND ([Date_ordered] <= @Date_ordered2 OR @Date_ordered2 IS NULL OR (Order_ID=ISNULL(@OrderID_ID,Order_ID) OR @Order_ID IS NULL))"> but the problem is it does not seem to work! i am not an SQL guru but i cant figure it out, someone help me please! Thanks Jez
Hi, We got a problem. supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a ( aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, aName string2 NOT NULL ) go ALTER TABLE a ADD CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId) go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde'); insert into a values ('bank of abcde'); ... ... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName Result is: 6Bank of abcde 5Bank of abcde 4Bank of abcde 3Bank of abcde 2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName Result is: 11Bank of abcde 10Bank of abcde 9Bank of abcde 8Bank of abcde 7Bank of abcde 6Bank of abcde 5Bank of abcde 4Bank of abcde 3Bank of abcde 2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?
Hi,guys!I have a table below:CREATE TABLE rsccategory(categoryid NUMERIC(2) IDENTITY(1,1),categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(categoryid))Then I do:INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('url')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('document')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('book')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('software')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('casus')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('project')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('disert')Then SELECT * FROM rsccategory in ,I can get a recordeset with the'categoryid' in order(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)But If I change the table definition this way:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE,The select result is in this order (3,5,7,2,6,4,1),and 'categoryname 'in alphabetic.Q:why the recordset's order is not the same as the first time since'categoryid' is clustered indexed.If I change the table definition again:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE CLUSTEREDthe result is the same as the first time.Q:'categoryname' is clustered indexed this time,why isn't in alphabeticorder?I am a newbie in ms-sqlserver,or actually in database,and I do havesought for the answer for some time,but more confused,Thanks for yourkind help in advance!

I have created view by jaoining two table and have order by clause.
The sql generated is as follows
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.UWYearDetail.*, dbo.UWYearGroup.* FROM dbo.UWYearDetail INNER JOIN dbo.UWYearGroup ON dbo.UWYearDetail.UWYearGroupId = dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYearGroupId ORDER BY dbo.UWYearDetail.PlanVersionId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWFinancialPlanSegmentId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYear, dbo.UWYearGroup.MandDFlag, dbo.UWYearGroup.EarningsMethod, dbo.UWYearGroup.EffectiveMonth
If I run sql the results are displayed in proper order but the view only order by first item in order by clause.
Has somebody experience same thing? How to fix this issue?
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));
I have a DB with items which can have lengths from 0 to 400 meter.In my resultset I want to show the items with length 1-400 meter and then the results with length 0 meterHow to build my SQL?
Lets say I have a table named [Leadership] and I want to select the field 'leadershipName' from the [Leadership] Table.
My query would look something like this:
Select leadershipName From Leadership
Now, I would like to order the results of this query... but I don't want to simply order them by ASC or DESC. Instead, I need to order them as follows:
Executive Board Members, Delegates, Grievance Chairs, and Negotiators
My question: Can this be done through MS SQL or do I need to add a field to my [Leadership] table named 'leadershipImportance' or something as an integer to denote the level of importance of the position so that I can order on that value ASC or DESC?
I have some hierarchical data in a table. Say for example:
Parent Child ------------------------ NULL 1
1 2
1 3
2 4
2 5
3 6
3 7
5 8
5 9
7 10
7 11
11 12
11 13
Now I want to be able to use CTE's to be able to traverse this tree in 1) level by level order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.... 2) in order 1,2,4,5,8,9,3,6,7,10,11,12,13...
What would be the aueries for this. Using the following i get: 1,2,3,6,7,10,11,12,13,4,5,8,9 (interesting and potentially useful) but I would like to be able to experiment with the aforementioned orders as well.
Hi! For the Orders table (let's assume for the Northwind database), I'm trying to get the order id of the latest order for every customer. That means that the result should be one record per customer and that would display CustomerID and OrderID.
The data file is a simple Unicode file with lines of text. BCPapparently doesn't guarantee this ordering, and neither does theimport tool. I want to be able to load the data either sequentially oradd line numbering to large Unicode file (1 million lines). I don'twant to deal with another programming language if possible and Iwonder if there's a trick in SQL Server to get this accomplished.Thanks for any help.Mark Leary----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==----http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---

Hi everyone,I have a select statement of the form SELECT * FROM temp ORDER BY timeI have a scalar function ConvertToMinutes that takes in varchar and returns int, is there any way to do something like this SELECT * FROM temp ORDER BY ConvertToMinutes(time). I tried doing this and it doesn't work (it tells me ConvertToMinutes is not a built-in function). Please guide me as to how I would accomplish this. Thanks in advance.P.S. Clarification: I am trying to order the table temp by the value returned by the function ConvertToMinutes on the coloumn time.
Hello I am not sure of the correct syntax. I know that the first part works: ****************************** SELECT Extn, Domain_Name, Price FROM Domains_DB **************************** I am trying to add a WHERE clause is equal to com and an ORDER BY assending order. I have tried all sort of combinations, where am I going wrong with the following: SELECT Extn, Domain_Name, Price FROM Domains_DB [WHERE Extn = com [ORDER BY Domain_Name ASC ]] Thanks.
