I am inserting rows into an Excel file and the ORDER BY is coming out wrong.
When I run the select I get priority 1,2,3,4, ...10, 11, 12, ... as I should.
But in the excel file the rows come out 1,10,11,12,13 ..., 2, 20, 21, ...
SET @sql = ' INSERT INTO OpenRowset(''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'',''Excel 5.0;Database='+@finalFile+';HDR=YES'',
''SELECT [ID],[Priority],[Comments] FROM [Sheet1$]'')
SELECT ID,priority,comments FROM OurTable WHERE orgId='+@orgId+' ORDER BY priority,ID'
I'm trying to create a view using the following code:
quote:SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT Program, COUNT(Program) AS Total, (SELECT COUNT(Program) AS Count FROM dbo.Active_Enrollments_by_Earn WHERE (CDE_PROJ LIKE 'NC%') AND (Program = List.Program) GROUP BY Program) AS CDC, (SELECT COUNT(Program) AS Count FROM dbo.Active_Enrollments_by_Earn AS Active_Enrollments_by_Earn_1 WHERE (CDE_PROJ LIKE 'WS%0') AND (Program = List.Program) GROUP BY Program) AS WSC FROM dbo.Active_Enrollments_by_Earn AS List GROUP BY Program ORDER BY Program On my server, it sorts the resulting view in alphabetical order automatically (it didn't matter if I put "ORDER BY Program"). On my production server, however, it doesn't sort by Program at all and I can't seem to resolve it. HELP!
Hello, i have something like this, i want the annoucements (status = 0) to be on top, then topics with (status = 1) below, then the rest of the topics. So i tried: SELECT forum_topics.id, forum_topics.status, forum_topics.username AS starter, forum_topics.subject, forum_topics.closed, forum_topics.answerpostid, forum_topics.views, forum_topics.answers, forum_topics.lastanswer, forum_topics.lastanswerid, forum_topics.created AS started, forum_answer.username, forum_answer.answer, forum_answer.created FROM forum_topics LEFT OUTER JOIN forum_answer ON forum_answer.id = forum_topics.lastanswerid WHERE (boardid = @ID OR boardid = 0) ORDER BY (status) ASC, (created) ASC Problem is that they are not sorted diffrently, when i change the (created) ASC to (created) DESC i get the same result and the rows are not sorted, they only get sorted by status so i have status=0 at the top, then status=1 then the rest. How do i get them to be sorted first by status ASC then by created ASC/DESC? Patrick
So.. I'm trying to add up the number of wins and losses from a schedule of games and list them with their corresponding team name from another table.
Then I want to be able to sort by each teams number of wins. This is what I've got now, and it runs through without error, but it does not ORDER the list by "Wins"
strSQL = "Select *, ((SELECT Count(Win) FROM Game_Schedule WHERE Game_Schedule.T1_ID = standings.ID AND Win = true) + " & _ "(SELECT Count(Win) FROM Game_Schedule WHERE Game_Schedule.T2_ID = standings.ID AND Loss = true)) AS [Wins], " & _ "(SELECT Count(Loss) FROM Game_Schedule WHERE Game_Schedule.T1_ID = standings.ID AND Loss = true) + " & _ "(SELECT Count(Loss) FROM Game_Schedule WHERE Game_Schedule.T2_ID = standings.ID AND Win = true) AS [Losses], " & _ "(SELECT Count(Tie) FROM Game_Schedule WHERE Game_Schedule.T1_ID = standings.ID AND Tie = true OR Game_Schedule.T2_ID = standings.ID AND Tie = true) AS [Ties] FROM standings ORDER BY T_Tier, T_Name, Wins DESC"
I have the view below and if I use vwRouteReference as the rowsourcefor a combo box in an MS Access form or run "SELECT * FROMvwRouteReference" in SQL Query Analyzer, the rows don't come throughsorted by Numb.Everything I've read on the web suggests that including the TOPdirective should enable ORDERY BY in views. Does someone have an ideawhy the sorting is not working correctly for this particular view? thanks.CREATE VIEW vwRouteReferenceASSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT tblItem.ID,tblItem.Numb + ' - ' + tblQuestion.DescrPrimary AS FullName,tblItem.Numb, tblQuestion.DescrPrimary AS TypeFROM tblItem INNER JOIN tblQuestionON (tblItem.ID = tblQuestion.Item_ID)WHERE (((tblItem.Category_ID)>0))UNIONSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT tblItem.ID,tblItem.Numb + ' - ' + tblItem.Type + ' : ' + tblItem.Class AS FullName,tblItem.Numb, tblItem.Type + ' : ' + tblItem.Class AS TypeFROM tblItemWHERE (((tblItem.Type) = 'Assignment' OR (tblItem.Type) = 'Check' OR(tblItem.Type) = 'Route'))ORDER BY tblItem.Numb
I have a view created using the following code. The view works perfectly but does not order by the name column as I've asked it to do. In the view designer if I click on execute then the order is applied but if I save the view and run it externally (i.e. in an ASP page or within the management terminal) it does not order correctly and seems to order by the Id column.
Any help would be much appreciated. Here's the code:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.Members.DivisionID, COUNT(*) AS Members, dbo.Country.Name FROM dbo.Members INNER JOIN dbo.Country ON dbo.Members.DivisionID = dbo.Country.CountryID AND dbo.Members.CountryID = dbo.Country.CountryID GROUP BY dbo.Members.DivisionID, dbo.Country.Name ORDER BY dbo.Country.Name
And another, more simpler view, that doesn't sort as it's supposed to.
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT CountryID, Name, RegionID, IsActive, HasFlag, URL, Comments FROM dbo.Country ORDER BY Name
hi. i'm trying to order my results ascending by date except i'm getting some really weird output. my ouput resembles something like this:
oct 2 oct 3 sep 13 sep 21 sep 22 sep 30 aug 3 aug 5 aug 16
the data is stored in a date field. i use getdate when inserting the date to the database. is there a reason why the dates are showing up weird and not ordering appropriately? thanks for your help.
also, can you not search here any more? i keep getting timeout errors.
Hello all... I'm using asp to get records from an access database, verysimilar to the way datagrid would work. The title of each column in my tableis a link that alternates the sort order between ascending and descending...my problem is that text WILL change its sort order just fine but nubers arenot always in order. ie: if sort order is ASC (ascending) I might see 2000,234, 789 (should be ordered but its not). I'm guessing that ASP is handingthe string as a text string (?) and getting confused, is there a way toforce ASP into treating the string as numerals if this is the case? anyother ideas? Thanks so much.here is one of my sql commands in case you want to see it. "sort" is avariable containing the recordset to sort by depending on which link isclicked. I hope I didn't confuse the whole issue because of a lack ofcaffiene over here :)strsql = "SELECT * FROM comments ORDER BY " & sort & " DESC"Thanks of the help, much appreciated.Eno
I am trying insert the "Order by" clause into DMX but nothing is working.
INSERT INTO MINING STRUCTURE [ARS] ( [OrderID], [Product_Table](SKIP, [Product]) ) SHAPE { OPENQUERY ([dwMDA on PSD_TEST_TEST], 'Select Top 30000 "OrderID" From "dwMDA"."dbo"."vDetail" Order By "OrderID"') } APPEND ( { OPENQUERY ([dwMDA on PSD_TEST_TEST], 'Select Top 30000 "OrderID","Product" From "dwMDA"."dbo"."vDetail" Order By "OrderID"')} RELATE [OrderID] TO [OrderID] ) AS T
This is the DMX for market basket analysis.
I am also unable to use "order by" when i pull data into excel.
here's an example of something that doesn't work:
Select Top 20000 "OrderID","ProductGroupDescription" From "dwMDA"."dbo"."vDetail"
Order By "OrderID"
Can someone show me the exact working SQL commands they are using for the "Order By" clause when they import data from sql into an excel spreadsheet?
I have created a report that sharing two datasets for displaying the data. This datasets are using Stored procedure for execution of the report.One of the stored procedure using Order by clause and returning the data.But on running the report , the report viewer displays the unsorted data of the filed. But if we run the stored procedure directly from the sql server , it will return the sorted data.

I am using this [care session quarter] column in the group by clause to achieve but no success.IF I use date column in the select clause and Group by clause then it comes correctly but groups by all dates which is not required.
Ideally I want show only quarter aggregates. The [Date Dimension] table has the column [care session quarter] which stores all the quarters of years along with dates for each day. i..e I have all columns in [Date Dimension] table as shown below

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
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 had a view in which I did something like this isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005. When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 . why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
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.
