Order By In Subquery + UNION
Jul 20, 2005
All,
I've seen several posts regarding using UNION or UNION ALL to mash
together two or more resultsets into a single result set, but can't
seem to find enough info here to help me answer my particular
question.
I have a stored procedure that gets the column names in a particular
format (i.e. "chassis_id"|"chassis_description"|"modify_date") as well
as actual data for a given table (in a quote-separated, pipe-delimited
manner i.e. "1"|"description for the chassis"|"2004-09-08").
I'd like to get both of these resultsets and mash them together. This
works, but when I need to order the second resultset (i.e. select *
from chassis order by chassis_id), SQL Server returns an error
complaining about the chassis_id column name (invalid column name
'chassis_id') in the Order By clause.
From what I can tell, I'm using the UNION and Order By in correctly,
but I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with it. If I take out the Order
By, everything works great. Although I would like to be able to order
my second resultset (in the same sproc) if possible.
The actual queries I'm running are actually quite long, but here's one
that's a bit shorter to help illustrate:
SELECT '"app_group_id"|"app_group_name"|"create_date"|"create_by"|"modify_date"|"modify_by"'
UNION ALL
SELECT + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar,app_group_id), '') + '|'
+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 1))), 1,0)
+ '"' + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar(1000), +
REPLACE(CONVERT(nvarchar(4000),app_group_name), '"', '""')), '') +
'"|'
+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 2))), 1,0)
FROM app_group
order by app_group_id
Thank for any help on this.

Hi all,
I have the following UNION ALL statement that is my attempt to gather data for the past 5 weekdays (adding a "dummy" row for today's data).
I want the final output to end up in descending order, so for today, I would want today first, then Tuesday, then Monday, then Friday, then Thursday (provided there is data for each sequential day - if not, you get the idea, I want to select back to get the latest 5 days, most recent to oldest).
This select fails, because it doesn't like the ORDER BY in the subqueryselect
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight
UNION ALL
(select top 4
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END as DOW,
CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight
from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc )
I know you can't use an ORDER BY in a subquery, UNLESS the subquery also uses a TOP n (which this one does)...but does anyone know why this isn't liking my code?
I got the select to work the way I want it to by doing the following (really UGLY) code...SELECT U.DOW, U.Freight FROM
((select
GETDATE() as [OrderDate],
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight )
UNION ALL
(select h.OrderDate as [OrderDate], h.DOW, h.Freight FROM
(select top 4
[OrderDate] as [OrderDate],
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END as DOW,
CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight
from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc ) H)) U
order by OrderDate descbut am still confounded about why my original sub-select is rejected with such impunity.
My confusion seems likely related to understanding the set theory or basic concepts of the building of the select/Union rather than the way I am using the ORDER BY syntax, but I just can't seem to explain it to myself.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Greetings!
I have 11 tables with identical fields :
HOSTS, OS, CLASSIFICATION, SITE
The 10 tables (Table 1, 2,..10) are meant for holding data regarding the compliance for a particular attribute. For example, all assets have to follow a naming convention, if they don't follow, they are recorded in Table 1. The same way, if they have any unacceptable os, they are recorded in table 2; and so on. There are 10 such attributes which are monitored in those respective 10 tables.
The 11th table is a Master Table that has all the hosts which is the master inventory table.
How do I write a query to get a list of all the hosts that belong to any of those 10 tables which could be appearing in 1 or more of those 10 table(s).
Thanks in advance

select * from
(
select COLUMNS from TABLE where WHERE_CLAUSE1
union
select COLUMNS from TABLE where WHERE_CLAUSE2
) as T
order by COLUMNS
Any idea how this can be done?

Hi
I have two tables which I'm combining.
Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1
union all
Select CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2
order by startDt
This works fine, unfortunately, my problem is I only want to display the first latest customer. In a Union All, how do i distinguish whether I'm ordering the table it is trying to union or the actual unioned table tiself?
For example, this does not work.
Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1
union all
Select top 1 CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2
order by startDt desc
order by startDt

what I want to do is that, select top 10 articles from each table and then union those records to another table, also I need to order these articles in desc order by their added date before i union them.
what I know is that for union sql phrase , there is only one order by is allowed, so how could I order those 2 tables before i union them.

Hello,
I am trying to use dynamic ORDER BY with UNION in a stored procedure but I keep getting this error message:
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator.
The ORDER BY works fine without the UNION, and the UNION works fine without the dynamic ORDER BY (just putting an ORDER BY works fine)
Here is the whole query in case this helps, thank you

Hi,
I'm currently have a problem with a query using a top clause. When I run it by itself as a single query, I have no problems and the results are valid. However, if I try duplicate the query after a union clause, the order by ... desc doesn't order properly.
The following is the query I'm using along with the results. Then I'll have the query I was trying to unite and the results (date ranges selected were the same in both):
QUERY 1
select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'
from EventStrings ES
JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId

ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3
WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=?
and s.ldate<=?
and v.mdtid=20411
order by s.ldate desc
RESULTS 1

As you can see, the results are sorted very differently. Is there any way to have the order by apply to both queries?
Thanks!

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"

This query works perfectly and orders by just as I need
Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID
#Uno.Address,
#Uno.shippingInfo
FROM #Uno
[Code] ....
However, when I use it in a Union All so I can pull data from 2 diff tables, the order by statement no longer works. How can I order by data in 2 tables?
Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID
#Uno.Address,

Hi,
I'm trying to write a UNION statement with 2 selects and can't figure out for the life of me how to do it.
select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY dateJoined
UNION
select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY lastLogin
The union works fine without the order by's, but I really need the order by's in there and I don't understand why its so difficult to do. Surely there must be some other strategy?
Any help is much appreciated.. thanks!!

Hi!
I'm trying to get the results from three different tables, where they have some of the same results. I'm only interested in where they match and then trying to order by date (that's in three columns - M, D, Y). I read previous post in 9/07 but the result doesn't seem to order correctly. It does not have any rhyme or reason to the outputed results as it bounces back and forth through Oct, Nov and Dec posting and throughout all three tables. Here's my query below. Any ideas how I can get my ordering correct for all three tables to display all Oct, all Nov and all Dec?
Thanks so much

I have the following as part of a union query:
CONVERT(CHAR(8), r.RRDate, 1) AS [Date]
I also want to order by date but when I do that it doesn't order correctly because of the conversion to char data type (for example, it puts 6/15/05 before 9/22/04 because it only looks at the first number(s) and not the year). If I try to cast it back to smalldatetime in the order by clause it tells me that ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION operator. I get the same message if I try putting just "r.RRDate" in the ORDER BY clause. It's not that big of a deal - I can lose the formatting on the date if I need to to get it to sort correctly, but this query gets used frequently and I'd like to keep the formatting if possible.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi,
I've running the below query for months ans suddenly today started getting the following error :"Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression."
Any ideas as to why??
SELECT t0.DocNum, t0.Status, t0.ItemCode, t0.Warehouse, t0.OriginNum, t0.U_SOLineNo, ORDR.NumAtCard, ORDR.CardCode, OITM_1.U_Cultivar,
RDR1.U_Variety,
(SELECT OITM.U_Variety
FROM OWOR INNER JOIN
WOR1 ON OWOR.DocEntry = WOR1.DocEntry INNER JOIN
OITM INNER JOIN
OITB ON OITM.ItmsGrpCod = OITB.ItmsGrpCod ON WOR1.ItemCode = OITM.ItemCode
WHERE (OITB.ItmsGrpNam = 'Basic Fruit') AND (OWOR.DocNum = t0.DocNum)) AS Expr1, OITM_1.U_Organisation, OITM_1.U_Commodity,
OITM_1.U_Pack, OITM_1.U_Grade, RDR1.U_SizeCount, OITM_1.U_InvCode, OITM_1.U_Brand, OITM_1.U_PalleBase, OITM_1.U_Crt_Pallet,
OITM_1.U_LabelType, RDR1.U_DEPOT, OITM_1.U_PLU, RDR1.U_Trgt_Mrkt, RDR1.U_Wrap_Type, ORDR.U_SCCode
FROM OWOR AS t0 INNER JOIN
ORDR ON t0.OriginNum = ORDR.DocNum INNER JOIN
RDR1 ON ORDR.DocEntry = RDR1.DocEntry AND t0.U_SOLineNo - 1 = RDR1.LineNum INNER JOIN
OITM AS OITM_1 ON t0.ItemCode = OITM_1.ItemCode
WHERE (t0.Status <> 'L')
Thanks

SQL Server 2008 r2...
I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...
Query below [for reference]...
WITH cte AS (
SELECT A.[PoleID], ISNULL(B.[IsSpanClear], 0) AS [IsSpanClear], B.[SurveyDate], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.[PoleID] ORDER BY B.[SurveyDate] DESC) rownum
FROM[UT_Pole] A
LEFT OUTER JOIN [UT_Surveyed_Pole] B ON A.[PoleID] = B.[PoleID]
[Code] .....

OK, the problem is that if a run the below query in server01, i get error 512:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
But, if run the same query in the server02, the query work fine -.
I know that I can use IN, EXISTS, TOP, etc ... but I need understand this behavior.
Any idea WHY?

Why the sequence different?
select * from (
select id=3,[name]='Z'
union all select 1,'G'
union all select 2,'R'
union all select 4,'Z'
) as t
order by [name]
--result:
---------
--1 G
--2 R
--4 Z
--3 Z
select * from (
select id=3,[name]='Z'
union select 1,'G'
union all select 2,'R'
union all select 4,'Z'
) as t
order by [name]
--result:
----------
--1 G
--2 R
--3 Z--changed
--4 Z

I am trying to add the results of both of these queries together:
The purpose of the first query is to find the number of nulls in the TimeZone column.
Query 1:
SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
The purpose of the second query is to find results in the AAST, AST, etc timezones.
Query 2:
SELECT COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST')
Note: both queries produce a whole number with no decimals. Ran individually both queries produce accurate results. However, what I would like is one query which produced a single INT by adding both results together. For example, if Query 1 results to 5 and query 2 results to 10, I would like to see a single result of 15 as the output.
What I came up with (from research) is:
SELECT ((SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename) + (SELECT COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST'))
I get a msq 102, level 15, state 1 error.
I also tried
SELECT ((SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename) + (SELECT COUNT (TimeZone)
FROM tablename
WHERE TimeZone NOT IN ('EST', 'MST', 'PST', 'CST')) as IVR_HI_n_AK_results
but I still get an error. For the exact details see:
[URL]
NOTE: the table in query 1 and query 2 are the same table. I am using T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
