ORDER BY Clause Is Invalid In Views / Inline Functions / Derived Tables / Subqueries
Sep 25, 2013
The data I am pulling is correct I just cant figure out how to order by the last 8 numbers that is my NUMBER column. I tried adding FOR XML AUTO to my last line in my query: From AP_DETAIL_REG where AP_BATCH_ID = 1212 and NUMBER is not null order by NUMBER FOR XML AUTO) as Temp(DATA) where DATA is not null
but no change same error.
Output:
1234567890000043321092513 00050020
Select DATA from(
select '12345678'+
left( '0', 10-len(cast ( CONVERT(int,( INV_AMT *100)) as varchar))) +
cast (CONVERT(int,(INV_AMT*100)) as varchar) +
left('0',2-len(CAST (MONTH(DATE) as varchar(2))))+
CAST (MONTH(DATE) as varchar(2)) +
left('0',2-len(CAST (day(CHECK_DATE) as varchar(2)))) +
CAST (day(DATE) as varchar(2))+right(cast
(year(DATE)
I need to expand resursion level for resursive CTE expression within CREATE FUNCTION statement for inline table function to a value greater than default. It turns out that OPTION clause for MAXRECURSION hint perfectly works if I use it outside CREATE FUNCTION (as well as CREATE VIEW for non-parametrized queries), but it does not within CREATE FUNCTION statement - I'm getting error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure ExpandedCTE, Line 34
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'option'.
Here is the function:
create FUNCTION [dbo].[ExpandedCTE]
(
@p_id int
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
with tbl_cte (id, tbl_id, lvl)
as
(
select
id, tbl_id, 0 lvl
from
tbl
where
id = @p_id
union all
select
t.id, t.tbl_id, lvl + 1 from
tbl_cte inner join tbl t
on rnr.tbl_id = tbl_cte.id
)
select
id, tbl_id, lvl
from
tbl_cte
option (maxrecursion 0)
)
Please help!
Alexander.
P.S. I'm really sorry if it is about syntax, but I could not find it in the documentation.
I have just transferred my site to a new server with SBS R2 Premium, so the site's database changed from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I find that searches are now returning results in random order, even though they use a view with an Order By clause to force the order I want. I find that the results are unordered when I test the view with Management Studio, so the issue is unrelated to my VB/ASP Net code. Using my SQL update tool (SQL Compare, from Redgate) I find that there are no differences in the views, or the underlying tables. Using Management Studio to test a number of views, I find that I have a general problem with all views. For example, one of the simpler views is simply a selection of fields from one table, with an Order By clause on the tables primary key: - SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT GDQid, GDQUser, GDQGED, GDQOption, gdqTotalLines, GDQTotalIndi, GDQRestart, GDQCheckpointMessage, GDQStarted, GDQFinished, gdqCheckpointRecordCountr FROM dbo.GEDQueue ORDER BY GDQid DESC If I right-click the view (from Management Studio's Object Explorer pane), select Design from the menu to show the view's design, and then click the Execute SQL icon, the view's results are displayed perfectly, in descending order of GDQid. However, if I select "Open View" the view's results are displayed out of order. When I do this with the SQL 2000 database, both Design/Execute and Open View correctly display the data in the correct order. Is there something that I should check in the SQL 2005 installation - some option that has been set incorrectly? Regards, Robert Barnes
Yes, I do know what this means and why the error is thrown but this is not my question.
I have two servers that are both running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 200 SP3. Below are the results from both servers using @@version
Sever 1 (BB)
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002 14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

These servers are identical or so it seems. I've got a real ugly query that uses views and a derived table to get results. The problem is the 256 limit message only comes up on one server and on the other (Genesis) the query runs fine. I get the error though it reads a 260 limit on a box with SP4 applied. I've also run the query on a box that is Windows 2003, sql2k and sp4 and the query runs but not on a similar server here. This is all very odd. Please note that the database structure, views, etc are all exactly the same as far as I know.
Any suggestions? There seems to be no pattern between versions of Windows and/or SP levels.
I am writing a program that transforms a generic MS SQL database to make it compatible with our application. In order to make the transformation, I have to access all the elements of the generic database programmatically.
I know that the Master database contains all this information. Is there a query that allows me to access the "non-system" tables, sps, views, and functions?
For Tables, I need to know the Name(s) of the tables, the column names, the column type, ALLOW Nulls, Primary Key, Identity Seed settings, and Triggers.
For SPs, I need to know the Name(s) and access the SP source code (assuming it's unencrypted).
For Views, I need to know the Name(s) and access the Views Source
For functions, I need to know the Name(s) and access the function source.
I can see various tables in the Master database from management studio, like sys.objects, sys.tables - which look like they have the info I need. However, when I run a query against master like:
select * from sys.objects .. I get an error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Hi AllI am having a problem with an ORDER BY clause when selecting information from multiple tables. EgSELECT i.InvoiceId, pd.PayDescription, u.UserNameFROM Invoice i LEFT OUTER JOIN tblPay ON i.PayId = pd.PayId LEFT OUTER JOIN tblUsers ON i.UserId = u.UserIdORDER BY pd.PayDescriptionthis is just an example my query is a lot more complex. Is there any simply way you can do an order by in this way?I am writing this for MSSQL Server 2000ThanksBraiden
Help! Been doing the box step with BOL for several hours , Using tables in Adventureworks to create inline-table-valued function to provide a parameterized view of three JOINS - Have sucessfully created the function but can't figure out where to 'Declare' my variable "@SalesAgentID" need to be able to invoke the function with a particular ID - If you can help me cut this dance short I would REALLY Appreciate it.
I have query that doesn't even register a time when running it. But when I add the lines that are commented out in the code below, it takes between 20 and 30 seconds! When I run the code for functions directly,I know when I include it like this, it loses the Indexing capabilities?
SELECT ----, ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF(dbo.ufnGetRetail(I.ISBN13),0.00) AS VARCHAR(20)), 'N/A') RetailPrice ----, ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF(SP.LocalPrice,0.00) AS VARCHAR(20)),'on request') LocalPrice
[code]...
How to have the functions included but have the query response time come down?
I am working a DTS package and I need to Join to completely differnet tables in such a way that I need to do an inline view and an Outer Join. In this current form, it drops all columns for a day if one of the inline views returns null.
(SELECT COUNT(SDD_Status) AS On_Time , SDD_Date as On_Time_Date FROM SDD_Store_Delivery_Data_Table WHERE SDD_Route LIKE '01%' AND SDD_Status = 'On Time' AND SDD_Date < '12/19/2004' AND SDD_Date > '12/10/2004' GROUP BY SDD_Date) a,
(SELECT COUNT(SDD_Status) AS Early ,SDD_DATE As Early_Date FROM SDD_Store_Delivery_Data_Table WHERE SDD_Route LIKE '01%' AND SDD_Status = 'Early' And SDD_Date < '12/19/2004' AND SDD_Date > '12/10/2004' GROUP BY SDD_Date) b,

I'm in a situation where I need to accumulate values from several columns in each of the rows returned in a result set and to then display each accumulation value for each row at the end of each row.
For example, if I had the following...
------------------------------------------------------ name - car - van - bus - total ------------------------------------------------------ Terry - 55 - 34 - 12 - 101 John - 01 - 23 - 05 - 029 etc etc ------------------------------------------------------
Where 'total' column is an accumuliation of the 'car', 'van', and 'bus' columns. The values for the columns 'car', 'van', and 'bus' are all values that have been derived from COUNT function. So what I want is to somehow genarate the values for the 'total' column (car + van + bus).
Now I have tried the following SQL, but to no avail
Code:
SELECT pveh.csign, pveh.name1 AS [Driver], COUNT(pveh.name1) AS Car, COUNT(pveh.name2) AS Van, SUM(COUNT(pveh.name1) + SUM(COUNT(pveh.name2)) FROM planvehicles AS pveh
... and I also tried...
SELECT pveh.csign, pveh.name1 AS [Driver], COUNT(pveh.name1) AS Car, COUNT(pveh.name2) AS Van, SUM(Car + Van) FROM planvehicles AS pveh
I am importing data from a CSV to a DB with a SSIS package. Among some things things it already does, it has to decide if the relation between one row and the following is acceptable. If it is not, the 2nd row is discarded, the next one is taken and the relation value is calculated again to decide whether to keep this one or not, and so on.
To calculate this value, I need to apply a formula that includes sin(), cos() and acos() functions. I have already written this formula as a scalar-valued function in my SQL Server.
So, my question is: - Is there a way to call a function (a UDF) within the Expression in a Derived Column dataflow item? and if not, - Hoy can I use trigonometric functions within the Expression in a Derived Column dataflow item?
I hope someona can tell me something about this... I'm falling into despair! :-s
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));
m.TOTAL_MNTH_INCOME + m.CO_TOTAL_MNTH_INCOME as income1,income1 * 12 as income2,Round(income2, 1000) as income3,income3 / 1000 as income
,a.fielda ,b.filedb from tablea a, tableb b where a.name = b.name' and income <> b.income
I can probably string all 4 of my calculations together and say as income. I just copied it that way since that is how the SAS code is written but my big Q is can I use the derived field income from my calculation in my where statement.
I have a view that contains a complex query. A few of the columnscall a function that returns a specific output. I also use a functionto do a join as well.For example:SELECT l.ID, dbo.getStatus(l.ID) AS statusIDFROM tableName ALEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Status_LKP s ON dbo.getStatus(l.Leg_ID) =s.statusIDFor 800 records, this query takes about 9 seconds. I realize that foreach record, the function is executed on a per row basis, so I amlooking for alternatives.Does anyone know of other ways to accomplish something of the same?Basically I would like to include UDFs in a query and use those UDFsin the where and join clauses.Thanks
Hi all,As all of you are aware you can Encrypt your Triggers/Stored Procedures/Views And Functionsin Sql Server with "WITH ENCRYPTION" clause.recently i came across a Stored procedure on the Net that could reverse and decrypt all Encrypted objects.i personally tested it and it really works.That's fine (of course for some body)Now i want to know is it a Known Bug for Sql Server 2000 and is there a permanent solution for Encrypting mentioned objects.Thanks in advance.Best Regards.
Hi I am writting Stored Procedures that have to be built on the base of other tables specially created for this purpose, is it better to create these intermediate tables as views or as functions returning tables? I guess views would be lighter on performance as they would not be created on the fly?
Novice question. Would someone explain tell me what a view is used for? Also I am confused about the difference between a function and a stored procedure. They both seem like functions to me.
Is it possible to standardize sql views or functions to filter data for the user, before they view the report? For example if I have a SQL view that filters for "green, cotton-made socks", can this somehow be an option among others before a user presses "view report?"
A response is greatly appreciated. If this is possible, how ?
I have four total tables.Table One (Documents)- List of Documents. Each record has two fieldsrelated to this issue. First field (Document_ID) is the ID of thedocument, second field is the ID of the record (Task_ID) it isassociated to in Table Two.Table Two (Activities)- List of activities. Each record has two fieldsrelated to this issue. First field (Activity_ID) is the ID of theactivity, the second field (Group_ID) is the ID of the record it isassociated to in Table Three.Table Three (Groups) - List of groups. Each record has two fieldsrelated to this issue. First field (Group_ID) is the ID of the group,the second field (Stage_ID) is the ID of the record it is associated toin Table four.Table Four (Stages)- List of Event Stages. Each record has two fieldsthat is related to this issue. The first field (Stage_ID) is the ID ofthe stage of an event, the second record is the ID number associated tothe event. This last ID is a known value.20000024 = the Event IDI'm trying to come up with a list of Documents from the first tablethat is associated to an Event in the Fourth table.Query Analyzer shows no errors within the script. It just doesn'treturn any data. I know that it should, if it does what I'm wanting itto do.SELECT Document_ID FROM Documents as A where ((SELECT Event_ID FROMStages as D WHERE (D.Stage_ID = (SELECT Stage_ID FROM Groups as C WHERE(C.Group_ID = (SELECT Group_ID FROM Activity as B WHERE (B.Activity_ID= A.Activity_ID))))))= '20000024')
Hi, all:This is probably a simple problem, but, as an SQL newbie, I'm having alittle trouble understanding multi-joins and subqueries.I have the following tables and columns:MemberTable-----MemberID (primary key)MemberNameAddressCountryFoodsTable------FoodID (primary key)FoodNameMusicTable-----MusicID (primary key)MusicNameMoviesTable-----MoviesID (primary key)MoviesName....and their linking tables...Members2FoodsTable-----MemberID (foreign key)FoodsID (foreign key)Members2MoviesTable-----MemberID (foreign key)MoviesID (foreign key)....and so forth.Now what I'm trying to do is retrieve a specific MemberID, his address info(from the Members table), and get a listing of his favorite Movies, Foods,Music, etc. I know I probably need to JOIN tables, but where do I JOIN thetables? Do I have to JOIN the various Music/Foods/Movies tables or is itthe Music/Members2Music and Foods/Members2Foods, etc. tables? And I assumeI would probably need to perform a subquery somewhere?I realize I'll need to first filter the Members, Members2Music,Members2Foods, etc. tables by the MemberID, and afterwards, retrieve alisting of the actual Music/Foods/Movies names. I'm just confused how to dothat. (By the way, I have a total of 10 other tables or in addition toMusic, Foods, etc. so it's a lot of table JOINing.)If someone could please help me out with the actual SQL coding, I'd reallyappreciate it!Thanks for the help!J
I am working in a project where the business model is complex enoughthat many common retrieval functions become difficult to develop andmaintain in single query statements or functions.I have found the logic is easier to implement (and later modify whenthe code is no longer freshly remembered), by implementing theprocessing layers in nested views, and functions that callsub-functions (UDFs), not too unlike object based programming ornon-DBMS procedural languages. In some cases, the views and functionsare nested three deep.So far, from a design standpoint, this practice is working very well.Code that would be a recusive mess is reduced to two or three simplercode blocks. With the proper indexing and query structure, performanceseems to be satisfactory (time will tell).In MS SQL Server, is there anything which makes this practice unsound?Examples:CREATE VIEW vw2 AS SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE ...CREATE VIEW vw3 AS SELECT * FROM vw2 WHERE ...Application uses: SELECT * FROM vw3-or-CREATE FUNCTION udf2 AS SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE ...CREATE FUNCTION udf3 AS SELECT * FROM udf2 WHERE ...Application uses: SELECT udf3(param) AS value
Newbie as I am I cannot find the method to track down invalid objects in a MS SQLServer database. Looking through documentation and looking at internet does not provide much help.
Hi,Right, i have a fairly good understanding of SQL. However, i have a fairly basic understanding of SQL Server.I know Storedprocedures are really good and i'm starting to use them. I understand they are good for making inserting, updating very easy.However when you look at a SQL Server database you get various folder, this leaves me a little confused with what they are all used for? whats the difference between these?Thanks in advance!sorry for the basic question, i'll try to challange you next time
We have recently begun using transactional replication to keep the data in our SQL Servers synchronized in a geographically dispersed environment. We replicate our tables but we have never replicated views, stored procedures, or user functions in our production systems. We are thinking of doing so but wonder if the overhead of running the replication agents doesn't outweigh the benefits of having replication assist with the occassional change to these design elements.
Is anyone on this forum replicating views, sprocs, and user functions? What has your experience been?
Is there any way of emulating Oracle's capability of passing output of user-defined functions in the select statement or better still in the Where clause in SQL server 7.0? If not then could we hope for it in SQl server 2000?
I have to Select Order, Order Details and Order Status
Order Status is determined from Order Stage as follows:
If, at least one order detail line(from Order Details and Related Order details table) is approved, that Order status=Approved.
For the example, Order Status of Order ID=2, is Approved based on order status for order details lines 3(from table 2) and order details ID 1 and 2 (from table 3)
How to combined order stage from table 2 and table 3 and then compute order status.
