Ok ok ok - I'm not very good at this, but I can't figure out how to get the 'order by' statement working correctly. It's ordering the 'ReportDate' column alphabetically and not by month order. Anyone help?
select id,
DATENAME(mm,ReportDate) As ReportDate,
max(items) as Items
from mytable
group by id, DATENAME(mm, ReportDate)
order by id, ReportDate
Output:-
id ReportDate Items
240 July 16024
240 June 14705
240 October 19392
240 September 18979
241 August 29542
241 July 27806
241 June 27500
241 October 30007
241 September 29961
As you can see, the months are coming out alphabetically and not in month order.
Any advice appreciated, especially constructive advice

Consider this SQL:SELECT my_field FROM my_table WHERE my_field IN ('value2', 'value1','value3')Simple enough, but is there anyway to specify that the result should beordered exactly like the "IN" clause states? So when this recordsetcomes back, I want it like this:my_field------------value2value1value3Possible?Deane

Hello what I'd like to display the following in a matrix report:
Parameter selected: 3 (March), 2008 (Year)

So, in the rows I have the articles and in the column the selected month via parameter. In another column I need to sum up all monthly values up to the selected month, meaning in this example the sum of jan, feb and mar per article.

My Desired output
My current query

I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
As part if a recent requirement I have to export Chinese/Singaporean names in a CSV file. The data in the tables is a NVARCHAR(256).
I am using a FlatFile Connection manager where all the present columns from the table are exported as NVARCHARs. My understanding was that the Chinese/Singaporean names would blend seamlessly with NVARCHARs in place. But, they get garbled when pushed to the CSV.
Here is the connection manager setup
There are a lot of suggestions of fixing this by copying/pasting to a notepad file and changing the formatting... But I cant do that since the file is generated using a schedules SSIS package. How can I tweak the process to fix the issue?
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?
For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.
Does anyone know how I can get last day of month if I pass a function a given month and and given year. @Month = 2 @Year = 2004 The result I would need is 29 because there are 29 in the month of February in the 2004. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Kellie
Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication.
The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed.
Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list.
Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances?
We are experiencing a problem using order clause in the statement below:
SELECT person.pkey , first_name FROM person , private_person WHERE fkey_person = person.pkey AND first_name = 'A' ORDER BY first_name , person.pkey
Where person table contains the following columns:
pkey, name etc
and private_person
pkey, fkey_person (indexed), first_name (indexed)
The output is:
STEP 1 The type of query is SELECT FROM TABLE private_person Nested iteration Index : i$private_person$first_name FROM TABLE person Nested iteration Using Clustered Index pkey first_name ----------- --------------------- 2000512 A 10994 A 2299 A 1097 A 1218 A 5133 A 1329 A 1387 A 1465 A 7532 A 5513 A 1884 A 512 A 591 A
(14 row(s) affected)
STEP 1 The type of query is SETOFF
Why SQL server does not order by pkey? Is there any information about it somewhere? Is it a bug or what?
If we are ordering by fkey_person everything is Ok. Can anybody help?
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?
I have made sql table called costreallocation consists of two columsn: RuleID varchar(10) Type varchar(20) I run the following three queries: insert into costreallocation(RuleId,Type)values('aa','a') insert into costreallocation(RuleId,Type)values('dd','d') insert into costreallocation(RuleId,Type)values('cc','a') then when i notice that these three records are not inserted as they are run: In the table thn there are three records : aa a cc d dd d but i need to be filled in the table as they run as: aa a dd d cc d
