I have a Comment Table where a comment can have a reply, if the comment is replied to I want the reply to appear under the comment.
Based on the Fields CommentID and Parent ID the parentID is the Comment and the Comment with a ParentID set too that comment is the answer.
How do I build this Query?
Hi, I am using below query:
SELECT tbh_Articles.ArticleID, tbh_Articles.AddedDate, tbh_Articles.AddedBy, tbh_Articles.CategoryID, tbh_Articles.Title, tbh_Articles.Abstract, tbh_Articles.Body, tbh_Articles.Country, tbh_Articles.State, tbh_Articles.City, tbh_Articles.ReleaseDate, tbh_Articles.ExpireDate, tbh_Articles.Approved, tbh_Articles.Listed, tbh_Articles.CommentsEnabled, tbh_Articles.OnlyForMembers, tbh_Articles.ViewCount, tbh_Articles.Votes, tbh_Articles.TotalRating, tbh_Articles.ImageURL, tbh_Articles.specialFROM tbh_Lang CROSS JOIN tbh_ArticlesWHERE (tbh_Lang.LangID = @LanguageID) AND (tbh_Articles.ArticleID = tbh_Lang.ArticleMain OR tbh_Articles.ArticleID = tbh_Lang.ArticleSecond1 OR tbh_Articles.ArticleID = tbh_Lang.ArticleSecond2 OR tbh_Articles.ArticleID = tbh_Lang.ArticleSecond3 OR tbh_Articles.ArticleID = tbh_Lang.ArticleSecond4 OR tbh_Articles.ArticleID = tbh_Lang.ArticleSecond5)
Problem is that I want to sort in a manner which the results returns as ArticleMain as the first column, ArticleSecond1 as the second and so on...
Tables structure: tbh_Articles(id, title, body...) ; tbh_Lang(id,ArticleMain,ArticleSecond1 ,ArticleSecond2.... )
Any suggestions?
Hi all,
Been having a good root around the forums and the site here and there's some real smart people on here, i'm hoping one or more of them can help me out. I'm expecting this to be a simple question for some of you, however it's way beyond me at this point!
Table Structure (abridged, relevant columns):
Orders:
Code:
[Orders](
[OrderID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1)
[OrderDateTime] [datetime]
[OrderSiteID] [nvarchar](255)
[OrderOffline] [bit]
[OrderSentToWP] [bit]
[OrderReceivedFromWP] [bit]
[OrderAuthorised] [bit]
[OrderCancelled] [bit]
[OrderApproved] [bit]
[OrderFraud] [bit]
[OrderDispatched] [bit]
OrderItems:
Code:
[OrderItems](
[OrderID] [int]
[ProductID] [nvarchar](255)
[Quantity] [int]
[Price] [real]
[Weight] [real]
Products:
Code:
[Products](
[ProductID] [uniqueidentifier]
[ProductCode] [nvarchar](255)
[ProductTitle] [nvarchar](255)
Product price is captured at time of order, so that reports aren't affected by discounts or promotions, and stored with the productid in orderitems.
I want to get a report between a set of dates and with certain flags set (see below example) and then get a list of unique products, quantity sold and sales values for that products. Results table would have 4 columns; ProductCode, ProductTitle, QuantitySold, Sales Value.
So far I have this:
Code:
SELECT Products.ProductCode, Products.ProductTitle, SUM(OrderItems.Quantity) AS QuantitySold
FROM Orders INNER JOIN
OrderItems ON Orders.OrderID = OrderItems.OrderID INNER JOIN
Products ON OrderItems.ProductID = Products.ProductID
WHERE (Orders.OrderDateTime BETWEEN '2007/01/01' AND '2007/12/31') AND
(Orders.OrderSentToWP = 1) AND (Orders.OrderReceivedFromWP = 1) AND (Orders.OrderAuthorised = 1) AND (Orders.OrderCancelled = 0) AND
(Orders.OrderDispatched = 1) AND (Orders.OrderApproved = 1) AND (Orders.OrderFraud = 0) AND Orders.OrderSiteID= 'someguid'
GROUP BY Products.ProductCode, Products.ProductTitle
Which gets my summed quantities, and I guess I could use ASP to multiply that by the current price, but that defeats the point of setting the database up properly in the first place! I know how to design data, i just don't know how to get it back out again
I could most likely just do the whole thing in ASP and get it to output the correct answer, so if it's impossible/very difficult to do it in pure SQL then I'll go that route. Ideal situation would be a stored proc or saved query that I can pass a start date, an end date and a siteid to and that will get me the answers I want!
Thanks in advance to anyone that looks at this for me.
Also, any recommended books/sites to learn this kind of query?

Greatful for any help....
Have the query below which is taking delimited address information from _Venue column. This works well apart from the order it is returned, for example, the output below has the address tittle displayed in a different column for each row
Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge is in Address1
All Saints' Church is in Address2
Audley End House is in Address3
As I need to reference from the query the correct part of the address from the same location each time, is there anyway to get around this?
Thanks in advance
SELECT coalesce (PARSENAME(REPLACE(_Venue,',', '.'),4), '-') address1
,coalesce(PARSENAME(REPLACE(_Venue, ',', '.'),3), '-') address2

SELECT Column1,Column2,Column3 ....
FROM vwMyView
ORDER BY CreatedDT
View has about 10000 rows, If I remove order by query runs faster but adding an order by cause query to timeout..
All tables have clustered index based on the primary key of the table..
(a) Should I create an index view with CreatedDT as non clustered index?
(b) Or create a non clustered index on CreatedDT column on the underlying table?
I can provide DDL but if something obvious I am missing
Thanks

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a query with many (approximately, 30) conditions, such as:
select ....... from table1 join table2 on ( (table1.field1 = table2.field1 OR table1.filed1 IS NULL) AND (table1.field2 = table2.field2 OR table1.filed2 IS NULL) )
My question is:
In C++ or C#, when I write a condition like this, say, in an IF or WHILE, I know that I would be better off specifying the IS NULL (well, == null, to be precise) first, and use | instead of ||. In that case, the first condition (equality to null) is checked first, it's fast, and if it's not satisfied, the control flow goes to the next statement.
The question is, is there the same rule in T-SQL?
I mean, if I put the "... IS NULL" first, and then "OR ... = ...", will the query run faster than if I write it the other way around (that is, "... = ... OR ... IS NULL")?
This is very important to me, because most of those fields are VARCHAR, and due to some business rules, I can't change them to numerics etc, which would be compared much faster than text. So, even if I use full text search, I still need to find a way to optimize the query for performance...
By the way, I know that I can put those conditions in the WHERE clause, but as far as I know it won't make much of a difference for performance. So, my question is primarily about the order of conditions, in which SQL Server constructs its query plan.
[Edited:] In other words, what runs faster: comparing varchar to null or comparing varchars? And does it make a difference if I switch their places in my sql script?
We are using SQL Server 2000 SP4, Standard Edition. [Dev edition on the dev machine.]
Could someone kindly advise me on this, please?
Thank you ever so much.
Table:ColumnsUsersList:UserID, UserName, Country
I need a query which select all the rows from the above mentioned table with all fieldsButThe order the rows is First all the users from "Pakistan"Second all the users from rest of the countries except "Pakistan" in ascending order
So the query first return all the users from Pakistan and the the users from rest of the world in ascending order.
Forexample,
1, ABC, USA2, XYZ, Saudi Arabia3, LMN, Pakistan4, TQR, India5, PTR, Afghanistan
then the query returns.
3, LMN, Pakistan5, PTR, Afghanistan4, TQR, India2, XYZ, Saudi Arabia1, ABC, USA
I have some data that I'd like to order by a certain attribute.. but if there is a tie, then it should order by a secondary attribute.. and if there's still a tie.. then a 3rd attribute.
Currently the query looks like this:
SELECT * FROM Players WHERE ORDER BY Points
But I want it to look something like this (I know this doesn't work.. but it's just to give an idea):
SELECT * FROM Players WHERE ORDER BY (Points desc AND Games asc AND Goals desc)
Does anyone know the proper syntax for a multiple ORDER BY query like I described above?
Brent
If we use: select * from ..... , normally, it will return an ordered result ( may be order by ID ), but how can we make an random order select statement. It mean every time we run the query, the result will be different from the other ?

Hi.
I have a VB.NET function that returns an array of Integers.
Say, FunArray = [2, 3, 5, 8, 6, 23, 1, 10, 20 , 4, 54]
One characteristic of the array is that no two numbers
repeat - it reflects the IDs of my Users table. And, that
it is not ascending or descending.
What I would like to know is how do I sort my query in
the order of the integers in this array? Ideally, I
would like to use ORDER BY for this query.
thanks in advance.
hello,
I have a query that insert insert into new table , and then i select from this table,
if i add ORDER BY in the INSERT INTO script , does it affect the speed of the SELECT
i have big table that take about 70 sec
I could write a query with a sub-query in order to perform an UPDATE on the most recent 60,000 records of a table based on a date field, but unfortunately I am receiving an error.
Code:
SELECT * FROM DMTM
SET transmit_date = '2012-05-07 00:00:00.000', transmit_status = '1223'
WHERE temp_pk in
[code]...
I am trying to combine 2 queries, each with their own 'order by' and I am having trouble.
This is just an example, not what I'm trying to do, my query is more elaberate but looks simular to this.
SELECT TOP 10 *, 'FieldA' AS SortedBy
FROM TableA
Order By FieldA Desc
UNION ALL
SELECT TOP 10 Precent *, 'FieldB' AS SortedBy
FROM TableA
Order By FieldB Asc
Anyway not to get the following error?
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 34
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'UNION'.
Hello, I'm trying to find the most optimal way to perform a trickyquery. I'm hoping this is some sort of standard problem that has beensolved before, but I'm not finding anything too useful so far. I havea solution that works (using subqueries), but is pretty slow.Assume I have two tables:[Item]ItemID int (Primary Key)ItemSourceID intItemUniversalKey uniqueidentifierPrice int[Source]ItemSourceIDPriorityI'm looking for a set of ItemIDs that match a query to the Price(something like Price < 30), with a unique ItemUniversalKey, taking thefirst item with each key according to Source.Priority.So, given Item rows like this:1 2 [key_one] 152 2 [key_two] 253 1 [key_one] 15and Source rows like this:1 12 2I want results like this:2 2 [key_two] 253 1 [key_one] 15Row 1 in Item would be eliminated because it shares an ItemUniversalKeywith row 3, and row 3's Source.Priority is lower than row 1.Help!?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,Just wondering if anyone can tell me if an order by clause on a selectquery would have any impact on the time it takes to retrieve results?Essentially I'm selecting Top 1 out of a table via various criteriaand currently getting it back without an order by clause. The order bywould only include the column that has the clustered primary index onit.Can anyone tell me if in theory this will slow the query down?Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murrau

In my BM_Maps subform, there is a combo box called called Borders. I want the borders to be filtered based on product series, so if the user picks "City Guide", they only get city guide borders, so I have added a table called Product_Series_X_Border which has the product series and border id.
I have a query which joins two tables, and I've ordered it by the border name, which works fine, until I add a where clause for the product series from the other table. I have attached a screengrab which I hope works. I have tried joining other tables but it still doesn't work. Is there any other way I can order by border name with the where clause? I've tested with individual product series as the where clause with the same result.
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

a order by date3, date2, date1
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,

I have an XML field with some data that looks about like this:
<steps>
<step userName="abc"></step>
<step userName="abc"></step>
<step userName="saf2"></step>
<step userName="abc"></step>
</steps>
I have a query something like this:
SELECT XmlField.value('(//step/@userName)[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS userName
FROM theTable
I would like to have some kind of indicator in my TSQL results of the number of each <step> node. For instance, saf2 would be a 3. I think this is similar to a ROW_NUMBER() kind of function in normal table data.
Is there a good way to get a 1, 2, 3, and 4 value for this sample data?

i have a table and a column called req_id, i have it set as the primary key.. so if i just do SELECT * FROM table, shouldnt the rows returned be sorted by the order that the rows were inserted?
this database was improted from an access database.. when i did that in access it would return the rows in sorted order by the order the row was inserted.. but now in MS SQL, its not sorted in that order.. i can't really tell what type of order it's in
I have a query using the sys.dm_exec_query_stats that returns the last exec of all proc calls for the last day and execution times.
Is there a way to get all the executions and not just the last w/o using a db trace?

Hi,
I wonder if its possible to perform a ORDER BY clause in an SELECT DISTINCT sql query whereby the AS SINGLECOLUMN is used. At present I am recieving error: ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified. My guess is that I cant perform the Order By clauses because it cant find the columns individually. It is essentail I get this to work somehow...
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

I have a table with plant types and plant names. Certain plants are grouped on a custom field, currently called Field. I am trying to create a query that will give me a result set containing the primary order on Type, but need items with the same 'Field' value grouped by each other.For example, the following shows a standard query result with "order by Type", ie select * from plants order by Type
Code:
ID Type Name Field
1 Type1Name1(group1)
2 Type2Name2(group2) -group2
3 Type3Name3(group3)
4 Type4Name4(group4)
5 Type5Name5(group2) -group2
6 Type6Name6(group6)
But I want it to look like this, with fields of the same value located next to each other in the result set (but still initially ordered by Type)
Code:
1 Type1Name1(group1)
2 Type2Name2(group2) -group2
5 Type5Name5(group2) -group2
3 Type3Name3(group3)
4 Type4Name4(group4)
6 Type6Name6(group6)
For example in a Select Statement we have many tables and we have Where Clause with many conditions with AND operations. Do the SQL SERVER would apply the Where clause after all fetch or can dynamically decide about to include the related Tables from Select Statement Orderly with respect to where clause predicates? (SQL SERVER would not fetch data of those tables for its Select, where the AND condition in Where clause fails or by logic would be fruitless/not-related.)
