I have one table with one column:
region
Global
USA
England
Germany
Spain
What I want is that the first entry Global is always in the first row the rest should be ordered by alphabet.
I tried this but order by works only for the result of union:
SELECT * FROM csappcidb_region WHERE region='Global'
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM csappcidb_region WHERE region<>'Global' ORDER BY region
What else can I do?
Got a tough one here for you SQL junkies.I'm working on a website (in ASP) for a national greek/collegeorganization. All it's college chapters have greek chapter names,i.e. Alpha Chapter, Delta Chapter, Delta Iota Chapter, Gamma PhiChapter, ect. ect.I need the SQL to return the chapters in greek alphabet ordering. Seebelow:1. Alpha2. Beta3. Gamma4. Delta5. Epsilon6. Zeta7. Eta8. Theta9. Iota10. Kappa11. Lambda12. Mu13. Nu14. Xi15. Omicron16. Pi17. Rho18. Sigma19. Tau20. Upsilon21. Phi22. Chi23. Psi24. OmegaBasically I need a way to specify this type of presedence for wordingand keep all the results in greek-letter order, so Sigma Upsilon comesbefore Sigma Tau, and so on.Also, to make it even more difficult, these are written words, not theactual greek symbols like α β etc. Everything is stored inthe DB as Alpha Beta Whateva Chapter.Hopefully some of you SQL junkies will be able to help on this one ;)

I have created a Pivot table using Case Else with a combination of Row_Number function. What I'm looking for is to try to Order it in a specific way. Manivannan.D.Sekaran, helped me with another Pivot table that I had and it worked great. So I decided to learn how to do a Pivot table using Case Else. Sample Data is the following without the Case Else
UserID LastName FirstName DocumentDesc docFileName
1 Smith Paul Resume PSmithResume.pdf
1 Smith Paul PhdStatistics phdstatstranscript.pdf
1 Smith Paul MS Applied Statistics MsAStats.pdf
1 Smith Paul MS Operation Research MsOpResearch.pdf
2 Jackson Jane MS Information Systems MsInforSystems.pdf
2 Jackson Jane Resume JaneJacksonResume.pdf
This is my query for my Pivot using Case Else:
Code Snippet
Select UserID, LastName, FirstName,
MAX(Case When RecID=1 Then DocumentDesc Else '' End)As Document1,
Max(Case When RecID=1 Then docFileName Else '' End) As DocumentFileName,
Max(Case When RecID=2 Then DocumentDesc Else '' End)As Document2,
Max(Case When RecID=2 Then docFileName Else '' End) As DocumentFileName,
Max(Case When RecID=3 Then DocumentDesc Else '' End)As Document3,
MAX(Case When RecID=3 Then docFileName Else '' End) As DocumentFileName,
Max(Case When RecID=4 Then DocumentDesc Else '' End)As Document4,
Max(Case When RecID=4 Then docFileName Else '' End) As DocumentFileName,
Max(Case When RecID=5 Then DocumentDesc Else '' End)As Document5,
Max(Case When RecID=5 Then docFileName Else '' End) As DocumentFileName,
Max(Case When RecID=6 Then DocumentDesc Else '' End)As Document6,
Max(Case When RecID=6 Then docFileName Else '' End)As DocumentFileName
From (
Select a.UserID, a.LastName, a.FirstName, b.FileName, b.DocumentDesc, b.DocumentTypeID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY a.UserID ORDER BY a.UserID) AS RecID
FROM Person a JOIN
Documents b ON
a.UserID = b.UserID
Where b.DocumentTypeID = '126d2beb-f7a1-4bf1-b9c0-dded37d3a6bc' Or b.DocumentTypeID = '9087956e-1fb0-4f3d-ba33-ef31d79141af'
) X
Group by UserID, LastName, Firstname
Order by LastName
Code Snippet
The Output is the following with the Pivot applied: (I'm excluding UserID, LastName, FirstName for space purposes)
The column headings are:
Document1 DocumentFileName Document2 DocumentFileName Document3 DocumentFileName Document4 DocFilename
The Data for document and filename columns:
Ms Information Systems MsInforSystems.pdf Resume JaneJacksonResume.pdf
Resume PSmithResume.pdf PhdStatistics Phdstatstranscript.pdf Ms Applied Statistics MsAstats.pdf
What I want is to have the column called Document1 to have only Resumes and the rest of the other columns to have the other files.
The following data places the data into one table.
Create Table #data (
[UserID] int ,
[LastName] Varchar(100) ,
[FirstName] Varchar(100) ,
[DocumentDesc] Varchar(100) ,
[docFileName] Varchar(100)
);
Insert Into #data Values('1','Smith','Paul','Resume','PSmithResume.pdf');
Insert Into #data Values('1','Smith','Paul','PhdStatistics','phdstatstranscript.pdf');
Insert Into #data Values('1','Smith','Paul','MSAppliedStatistics','MsAstats.pdf');
Insert Into #data Values('1','Smith','Paul','MSOperationResearch', 'MsOpResearch.pdf');
Insert Into #data Values('2','Jackson','Jane','MsInformationSystems', 'MsInforSystems.pdf');
Insert Into #data Values('2','Jackson','Jane','Resume', 'JaneJacksonResume.pdf');
I need to increment values
I have written this script execute this :
This is for this scenario
Insert Into #String SELECT 'S601-S630',1,'Desc1'
Drop table #IDs
CREATE TABLE #IDs(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) ,String VARCHAR(100),Flag Int,Description VARCHAR(1000))
CREATE TABLE #string(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) ,String VARCHAR(100),Falg Int,Descript VARCHAR(1000))
DECLARE @min INT ,@Max INT ,@String VARCHAR(50),@Start VARCHAR(50),@End VARCHAR(50),@Flag INT,@Desc VARCHAR(1000)
[Code] ....
How I need to increment if the input is like this
Insert Into #String SELECT '6S01-6S30',1,'Desc1'
if alphabet is in middle of the number??
I have a basic while loop but I need to be able to increment the counter from one alpha character to the next:
declare @counter nvarchar(10)
set @counter = 'A'
while @counter < 'Z'
beginprint 'the counter is ' + @counter
set @counter = @counter + @counter
end
In this example I would need to see the following output:
the counter is Athe counter is Bthe counter is Cthe counter is D.....
Is this possible in SQL?
I need to create constraint in column to add only alphabet .

Which function should I use to remove alphabet in a string?
For example, 60a , 50b, 34s, 34k. I want to remove the suffix alphabet. I tried to use filter but it return an array. i want the return value to be string or int to display.
Thanks

There are about 300 fields in a views.
How to reorder all fields by alphabet?
For example, from script of views like below:

re-order fields' name like below:
select amount, date, name from order
For about 300 fields view, how to code to re-order fields' name?

View 12 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a report which lists out the employees' details. I need A-Z links above the report, On clicking on an alphabet, say "C", should display all the employee details whose name starts with the selected alphabet. In the stored procedure we can accept the character and return back those results. But it is not a drill report and we need the result in the same report. Is there any way so that on clicking each link, the output will be shown in the same report. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there!
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

(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?
Thanks a lot!

I have a table named as C1_Messages with fields Id, Messages, Dates.
My Id filed looks like this:
1000
1001
1008
1009
1084
1093
1098 etc.
But here I need to make these Ids in a order, means it sould be in a consecutive order. Like
1000
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005 etc.
So is there anyway to do this method in SQL?

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.

Hello.
I want to order a resultset from a table by two columns in another table. Here's how it looks:
[Books]
ID
Title
[linkBookAuthor]
BookID (Books.ID)
AuthorID (Authors.ID)
[Authors]
ID
Firstname
Lastname
AuthorOrder
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.
Thanks for any help.
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?
Thanks,
Sarah
Hi guys.
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 this plausible ?
Thanks

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.
*Hope that makes sense*
Thanks
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
Any thoughts ?
Hi all,
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??
Hope you can help, and hope it makes sense...

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.

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

Hi all,
Ive got a bit of a problem,
I have two tables:
CATEGORY
id
name
parent_CATEGORY_id
RECORD
id
CATEGORY_id
Stock_Held_Number
ps. Ive stripped out any non relevant fields
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
Name TotalStock
Animals 30
---Dogs 60
---Horses 50
Pens 20
Rocks 40
Does anybody have any pointers as to how I can achieve this.
Many thanks
Mike
