Having recently had excellent service here (many thanks, Erland!),
here's another wee problem.
SQL 2000
I need to get a report which will display the movement of people thus:
ID DIRECTION NAME DATE VEHICLE REGISTRATION
The value of DIRECTION can be either "Inbound" or "Outbound"
I need to have the data grouped by ID, with the "Outbound" row first.
For example
1 "Outbound" Smith 10/02/2005 ABC123
1 "Inbound" Smith 11/02/2005 ABC123
5 "Outbound" Jones 14/02/2005 XYZ789
5 "Inbound" Jones 15/02/2005 DEF456
This is the SQL so far.
SELECT
fldPersonID,
tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],
'Outbound' AS [Direction],
fldMovementDate AS [Date],
CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULL
THEN fldSurname
ELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],
'Outbound ' + fldVehicleOut AS VehicleRegistration
FROM
tblPerson
INNER JOIN tblMovementType
ON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementType
WHERE
((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND
(fldStatus = 1))
UNION ALL
SELECT
fldPersonID,
tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],
'Inbound' AS [Direction],
fldMovementDate AS [Date],
CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULL
THEN fldSurname
ELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],
'Inbound '+ fldVehicleRtn AS VehicleRegistration
FROM
tblPerson
INNER JOIN tblMovementType
ON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementType
WHERE
((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND
(fldStatus = 1))
What I need is the way to Order or Group it so that I can just put the
rows into a report without any grouping on the report itself (Crystal
Reports aarrggh!) - if this is possible!

Hello, I am trying to solve this....when I run this query select convert(varchar,date,100) from temp3 where date between convert(varchar,getdate() - 1.0,101) and convert(varchar,getdate(),101) result is: Apr 19 2000 12:45PM Apr 19 2000 12:46PM Apr 19 2000 12:47PM Apr 19 2000 12:48PM Apr 19 2000 12:49PM Apr 19 2000 12:49PM Apr 19 2000 12:52PM Apr 19 2000 12:53PM Apr 19 2000 12:56PM Apr 19 2000 12:57PM Apr 19 2000 12:57PM Apr 19 2000 12:58PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 1:00PM Apr 19 2000 1:01PM Apr 19 2000 1:02PM Apr 19 2000 1:02PM Apr 19 2000 1:03PM Apr 19 2000 1:04PM Apr 19 2000 1:05PM Apr 19 2000 1:06PM Apr 19 2000 1:06PM Apr 19 2000 1:10PM Apr 19 2000 1:11PM Apr 19 2000 1:11PM this is what I am expecting. but when I try to group it
select convert(varchar,date,100) from temp3 where date between convert(varchar,getdate() - 1.0,101) and convert(varchar,getdate(),101) group by convert(varchar,date,100)
result is correct but I would like it to be displayed like the first one. I will really appreciate Any clues, suggestions, How to at this point. Thanks a lot. HP
I have two tables with data that I need to get and display in a combobox. What I want to do is have the parent table listed in the combobox with all of its children indented. Sorted by parent then by child.
This SQL seems to be more complex than I have done previously
I can get all of the records from both tables easily:
Code: SELECT strName, ID FROM tblParents as pp INNER JOIN tblChildren as cc ON cc.pID = pp.uiGUID UNION (SELECT strName FROM tblChildren as c INNER JOIN tblParents as p ON c.pID = p.ID)
However, this simply returns a list that is not ordered in any fashion. I'd like to have all of the parent's children shown under the parent name (there is only 1 parent per child and multiple children per parent)
I'm really stumped on this one. I'm a self taught SQL guy, so there is probobly something I'm overlooking.
I'm trying to get information like this in to a report:
WO# -WO Line # --(Details) --Work Order Line Detail #1 --Work Order Line Detail #2 --Work Order Line Detail #3 --Work Order Line Detail #etc --(Parts) --Work Order Line Parts #1 --Work Order Line Parts #2 --Work Order Line Detail #etc WO# -WO Line # --(Details) --Work Order Line Detail #1 --Work Order Line Detail #2 --Work Order Line Detail #3 --Work Order Line Detail #etc --(Parts) --Work Order Line Parts #1 --Work Order Line Parts #2 --Work Order Line Parts #etc
I'm unable to get the grouping right on this. Since the line details and line parts both are children of the line #, how do you do "parallel groups"?
There are 4 tables:
Work Order Header Work Order Line Work Order Line Details Work Order Line Requisitions
The Header has a unique PK. The Line uses the Header and a Line # as foreign keys that together are unique. The Detail and requisition tables use the header and line #'s in addition to their own line number foreign keys. My queries ends up looking like this:
It probobly isn't best practice, but I'm kinda new so I need some guidance. I'd really appreciate any help! Here's my query:
SELECT [Work Order Header].No_ AS WO_No, [Work Order Line].[Line No_] AS WOL_No, [Work Order Requisition].[Line No_] AS WOLR_No, [Work Order Line Detail].[Line No_] AS WOLD_No FROM [Work Order Header] LEFT OUTER JOIN [Work Order Line] ON [Work Order Header].No_ = [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN [Work Order Line Detail] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order No_] AND [Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order Line No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN [Work Order Requisition] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order No_] AND [Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order Line No_]
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?
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
I have an int field - that will hold number for an ordering system. It's a databound field to a textbox in a grid, I want the default to be empty, however not all fields are required so i may have 1-6 as bound values, and the rest should fall in line behind them - the only thing i can think of to do is default the values to 9999 so they come after 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc... I don't like seeing 9999 in my bound fields. thanks for any suggestions you may have. Jeff
As you can see it's a many to many relationship. Is there a way to order the books by Authors.Lastname (the first if there are several authors) with one query ? If not, what is the fastest way ? I don't need the names in the resultset so I only want to order the books by Authors.Lastname, not include Authors.Lastname.
Hiya! I've got a little stored procedure: CREATE PROCEDURE rICDCode @param1 char(15) = 'Description' AS SELECT DiagCode, ICD9ID, Description FROM ICDCodes ORDER BY @param1 and SQL is returning error 1008 - "The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number %d contains a variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name." I want to be able to use the same stored procedure for several different functions which all need the same rowset sorted differently. Any way to do this?
I want to create a top 20 product list from a few thousand products. I want the rest of the products to be grouped into 'others'...
I also want the products to be ordered by the facts in the cube. Thus the product dimension would dynamically change depending on the Time dimension thats being selected.
Is it possible without using CASE statements, to order a result set by one field (if the second field return value is null) or another (if the second field return value is not null)
This would be on datetime fields. Let's say I have 5 records with 2 date fields sched_dt and arriv_dt.
sched_dt will always have a value, arriv_dt may or may not have a value.
In a single result set I would like to have the records with an arriv_dt sorted by arriv_dt and the ones without an arriv_dt sorted by sched_dt.
I have a table that has 4 dates for each record (birthday, anniversary, policy_start & policy_end). What I want to do is cycle through each record and then do some calculations using the gaps between the dates. So it might be Calc1 using (birthday->anniversary), Calc2(anniverary->policy_start), Calc3(policy_start->policy_end), etc. BUT the dates might be in different orders (ie the birthday could come first - or the anniverary could, etc).
In VBA in Excel, I can use the SMALL function within my calcs and this returns the minimum date, the next smallest, the next & then the biggest. But how can I do this in SQL. I guess I can push the 4 dates out to a temp table, order it and then suck them back in - but I have no idea how to do this for all the records in my primary table
I've also tried using various WHERE statements (ie do Calc1 using Birthday & Anniversary WHERE Birthday < Anniversary and ........ - but the code gets awfully long.
Is it possible to write my own SMALL function which uses a bubble sort on the 4 dates & then returns the smallest, next smallest, etc
Ive got a table with a field called 'morder' which orders a menu based on the values in this field (1 for position 1, 2 for position 2 etc...) for example
1 - menu item 1 2 - menu item 2 3 - menu item 3 4 - menu item 4
If I want to add a record to this table and put it at number 2 in the list, i need to update the table to then read...
1 - menu item 1 2 - NEW menu item 2 3 - menu item 2 4 - menu item 3 5 - menu item 4
I want to use a mssql or php function to re-order this field... is it possible??
Hi, I was wondering, I have several columns of data that are able to be sorted on - the user just clicks on the column name. However, we have 1 column called order status where we don't want the order to be alphabetical (and it is a text field - a couple current possible values are Processing...In Production...Waiting For Approval). This order is not good for logical sorting - we would want to be able to specify what value would get order. Does that make sense? So we would want to be able to say that Processing is first in the display, Waiting For Approval would be next, then In Production would be next, and so on. Is there any possible way of doing this in a SQL query? Or am I going to have to manually modify all the data adding numbers to the beginning of each data so that it will sort on the numbers? Thanks everyone.
i add new column using alter command but i always found it in the end of table but i want to add it in particular position between the columns...........
Hi,I'm streaming data monitoring histories of components into a database table with the following three columns: Hour (DateTime), Id (Int64), and Value (Int32). The Value entry is an aggregate of all values sent from component Id during, and 59 minutes and 59 seconds after, the time listed in the Hour column.I had rather not have to sort the queries after pulling them from the database by date. So I tried to index the DB by the Hour column. Any column will inevitably have duplicates, since the uniqueness depends on a combination of Hour and PortId. But Indexing the Hour column doesn't result in INSERTs being in order as I had expected. Instead, every entry is listed in order of insertion.So. . .how can I keep such a table ordered by date on the disk? I'm afraid this will become very inefficient if this isn't nipped in the bud right now.Thanks so much for your help!-Brandon
I am wondering if someone maybe able to help me, I am needing to order my data via months in the calendar sense not alphabetically, below is what I currently have, but it only does it alphabetically.
select to_char(created,'yyyy-Mon'), matdesc, count(*) from test group by to_char(created,'yyyy-Mon'), matdesc order by to_char(created,'yyyy-Mon') desc
I am trying to do a simple SQL query..the result will be sorted alphabetically by default, but i need to specify say, if there is a "Others" it will be placed last in the list. Is there any way to write the query using ORDER BY?
I also have the following query (again ive stripped out the non-relevant fields)
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT SUM(dbo.RECORD.Stock_Held_Number) AS TotalStock, CATEGORY.Name AS FundName FROM CATEGORY LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.RECORD ON CATEGORY.ID = dbo.RECORD.CATEGORY_id GROUP BY CATEGORY.Name, RECORD.Stock_Held_Number
At the moment its grouping all the CATEGORIES and giving me a sum total for each which is great.
The problem I have is the CATEGORY table, there is an optional join to parent CATEGORY records on the table.
What Im trying to do is to provide a fully ordered result within the CATEGORIES and I don't have a clue.
For example:
The CATEGORY table has the following values ID Name Parent_Category_id 1 Pens 2 Animals 3 Rocks 4 Horses 2 5 Dogs 2
When I currently run the query I get: Name TotalStock Pens 20 Animals 30 Rocks 40 Horses 50 Dogs 60
It's technically correct because I don't want the parent to calculate the total value of the children
What Im really trying to do is order them within the hierarchy though and indent (if possible) the result so I would get
Hi everyone, I have a database (not designed by me) in sql server, I amhaving trouble ordering it correctly, and I would appreciate any help.Here is my structure, it's sort of hierarchical:TABLE_AID_COLSUB_ID_COLTABLE_BID_COL'NAMEThis could be thought of as an employee and supervisor structure. Wehave employees (TABLE_B) and their relationship (TABLE_A).I know I need to use a group and oder by, but I am drawing blankstoday. I need the result to be (if using the employee example):Bob-Ryan-SueMarkNick-George-Paul--Ringo--StarHere is my half-hearted stab at it:SELECT *FROM TABLE_A AINNER JOIN TABLE_B BGROUP BY A.SUB_ID_COLORDER BY NAME;Thank you very much for any help you can offer.Have a great night!Ryan
I've created a clustered two column index on a table where the secondcolumn is an integer value. When the first column is the same, insteadof ordering in numerical order it is ordering 1,10,100,2,20,200 etc.How can I change the behaviour to order the data in numerical order?Thanks,Rick
When I am receiving a batch of message from a queue to process, does it matter if I order by the queuing_order or the message_sequence_number? I want to make sure my messages process in the order in which they were put into the queue, which I know will happen if I process messages one-by-one, but want to make sure that the data I pull and process execute in the order in which they were received.
I'm attempting to run three separate queries and have them returned as one recordset. I need to show the top 10 customers based on the number of orders they placed for each of three months, then combine them to give a representation of which customers have been within the monthly top 10 for the overall period of three months. My problem is when I run a count on the number of orders they have placed and order by that count, it is in ascending order which in escence shows me the bottom 10, not the top 10. To resolve this issue, I can specify descending order. This works fine with one query, but when I run all three queries using union statements, I can only have one order by which returns incorrect results. Here is my query. In this example, I get the combination of the three recordsets as expected, but each of the individual queries is not ordering descending, so I get the wrong end of the table. I am not bound to union, but do not know where to go. I do not believe I can use joins or concatenate queries because I have multiple where clauses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please note that I am using a view to convert the cryptic field names which are used by a third party software tool into more friendly names. We will call this view Friendly_View for this example.
USE MyDB
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders FROM Friendly_View WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE()) GROUP BY CustName, Location, Phone
UNION
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders FROM Friendly_View WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-2 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE()) GROUP BY CustName, Location, Phone
UNION
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders FROM Friendly_View WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-3 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE()) GROUP BY CustName, Location, Phone
Does anyone know in what order files are processed if using a for each container and file enumerator? Does it sort files alphabetically and loop through? Or use a date time stamp? Or something else? I need files to be processed in a certain order, and the ordering is in the filename, so the foreach file enumerator sorts on filename, then I'm ok, otherwise I need to figure something else out. Thanks.

hi, i'm using a similar code for a recursive relationship in sql server written @ http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/sql_server_recursion_with_clause.asp.i'm using the Table of Contents Hierarchy code in the article. However, instead of ordering by the sort order, i'm using the TOC instead. My problem is, i know TOC is of varchar type, therefore, if the sort order has an integer of more than 10, the order sequence would be 1.01.11.101.111.2etc.so how do i make it so that it is1.01.11.21.3......1.10 instead? Thank you
i will tell whats it ------ i have a webpage creating using ASP.NET,C# using SQL server 2000.
