I have a Column which has both numeric values and Alphabets in them.I want to sort them in descending with numbers first and then Alphabets later.
Example:
Source column:
2008
2005
2010
2013
All-Year
Month-year
Required Output:
Source Column:
2013
2010
2008
2005
Month-Year
All-year
I am trying to sort this simplied table:
ID - Time
1 2000-2001
2 2002-
3 2001-2003
4 1999
5 2005-2006
I want this as a result:
1999
2000-2001
2001-2003
2005-2006
2002-
Because the "-" means "continues", it the thing is still activated, so if it makes it easier, i could put the today's year afterwards during the query, if it ends with a - ...
Now, simply doing a
SELECT * FROM [table] ORDER BY TIME;
Sorts it "perfectly", apart from the "2002-" is just placed before 2005 and after 2001.
So, of course, it fails on all entries with a leading "-" ...
Right when I clicked "submit", of course, I can simply replace all entries with a time ending with "-", with the todays Year, so at least they will get at the end of the query...
Well, have to do a union, first sorting all without the "-", then sorting all with the "-", and that should be it...

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?
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
View 9 Replies View RelatedHey all,
When you use a WHERE/IN statement, is there a way to make sure the results are ordered in the same order you specified in the IN list?
Is there a preferred way to order a varchar column numerically (for thosethat are numeric), then alphanumerically for all others?I've tried:ORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float,<column_name>) ELSE 999999999 END;andORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, CASE WHENIsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float, <column_name>) ELSE 999999END, <column_name>;Neither of these however give the desired results.Any ideas?Thanks,Frank
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my search results I need to order my data by a particular entry rather than a particular column and then add all the other entries onto the end of the result set. Specifically I'm trying to order my records by a particular location in a city so those entries in that location appear first in the result set and then on the end I want to include all the other locations in that city.
I'm assuming I'll need to do these as separate queries and then use a UNION statement but I'm wondering if there is a better or easier way. Is there, for example, another type of ORDER BY clause that lets me order by a particular entry rather than a column?
Thanks
Hi
I'm trying to find a decent way of multiplying a set of numbers in a column without using a cursor in T-SQL.
There is no 'Product' aggregate function that I'm aware of in SQL 7 or 2000. The workaround I'm currently using is this :
SELECT EXP(SUM(LOG(ColumnName))) FROM tblName
This works fine, except when negative numbers are introduced. The LOG function does not allow negative numbers and therefore returns a domain error and the negative number is eliminated from the aggregate.
I could use a cursor to do the multiplication, however, this is proving too slow for the bulk calculations involved.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then that would be much appreciated.
thanks....Tom
I have a table with 13,000 rows, in one column called Prioirty each row has a value of 1.

Hey guys, I have a view with dates (TheDate) meant to be arranged in descending order. When I 'Execute SQL' while in the view, the DESC order works just fine and shows up with the latest date first going down. However, once I 'OPEN VIEW' the order keeps defaulting to ASCending order.
How do I keep it in DESC order for viewing? Here's the statement:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT TheDate
FROM dbo.MyDates
ORDER BY TheDate DESC
I have a unique index based on the following columns:ProjectID (int)MaterialCatalogID (int)Material catalogues are pretty much static but projects are dynamic andpeople are most likely to be working on the latest project so wouldusing a descending sort on the ProjectID in the index gain anyperformance?

I have a simple question to ask; I need to create a column with the data from my DOB column (which has the smalldatetime type attached to it). I know how to do that but I am not too sure how to convert the data from that column int normal character for example when I copy it into my newly created column and change the type to varchar I get this jan 16 1979 from this date 1979/01/16. But I actually want the data to look like this 19790116, so in effect I just want to take out the slashes.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks all.
Hello,
I have an ID column which is an Identity column, and it counts from 1 upwards.
If I have 10 records, I have ID's number 1 to 10.
If I then add another record, it will give the ID number 11.
Imagine I then delete ID number 9
Is it possible to get the next record I create to take number 9 instead of 12 ?

I have been using Access 2003 as a front end to a SQL 2k database. Dates are sorted in a descending fashion. I recently upgraded the sql server database to 2005 and dates can no longer be sorted properly. I have set the database compatibility level to sql2000 within the sql2005 database engine but no luck. Any suggetions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
After moving our database between servers, one table had a hiccup in it's
identity column. The number jumped from 761 to 1886863475 on the next
insert. This is a production server and I didn't catch it until yesterday.
So I have several days worth of numbers in a central table. I can't clean
them out, but I wondered if I could do the following:
DBCC CHECKIDENT ('table_name', RESEED, 800)
I tested it on our development server and it doesn't seem to cause any
problems. I know that when we get to 1.8 billion on the identity column
again we'll get an error, but I'm willing to risk it.
A few questions. 1) Am I insane for trying this? 2) Has anyone else ran into
a similar problem and what did you do to fix it? 3) If I do this, is there
anything in particular to watch out for? 4) What caused the jump in the
first place?
My other option is to change the datatype from int to decimal(19) or
something along those lines. This will upset our programmers and I'll have
to change all my foreign keys (not a big deal, just a pain).
Any input at all here would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm trying to create a column of numbers that increment by one.
I'm not able to use a #temptable in the application I'm using so I cannot use IDENTITY(int,1,1).
I want to add an Id column to this query:
Select distinct sd.name,ic.TABLE_SCHEMA,ic.TABLE_NAME from sys.databases sd
cross join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS ic
where sd.name = 'ODS1stage'
order by TABLE_SCHEMA,TABLE_NAME
How can I accomplish this without creating a temp table? I would just alter the table and insert the numbers but there are 2000 rows.

Hello,
One more question about this Custom Calendar table I'm creating. I have a column called "IsWorkdays" which indicates if the day represented by a row is a workday or not. For our purposes, I also need to create a row that accumulates those numbers by month. So, if it is the 3rd workday of the month, this column would have a 3. This is beyond my current T-SQL ability. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks a lot,

SQL version: 2005, Standard edition.
I'm grappling with this issue which I thought was basic VB programming; I'm trying to insert a random number (between 100 and 999) into a SQL table column (=Status_ID). This is input as part of a user submitting helpdesk requests via a APS.Net Web Form. The 'Status_ID' field is obviously not visible to the user but will help reference this Helpdesk request on the database.Here is the code:Protected Sub submitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submitButton.Click If Page.IsValid Then ' Define data objects Dim conn As SqlConnection Dim comm As SqlCommand ' Read the connection string from web.config Dim connectionString As String = _ ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ITNet_Students").ConnectionString ' Initialize connection conn = New SqlConnection(connectionString) ' Create command comm = New SqlCommand( _ "INSERT INTO HelpDesk (First_Name, Last_Name, StudentID, PersonalEmail," & _ "CategoryID, SubjectID, Description, StatusID) " & _ "VALUES (@First_Name, @Last_Name, @StudentID, @PersonalEmail, " & _ "@CategoryID, @SubjectID, @Description, @StatusID)", conn) ' Use randomize Randomize() Dim randomvalue As Integer ' Generate random value between 999 and 100. randomvalue = Int((900 * Rnd()) + 100) ' Add command parameters comm.Parameters.Add("@First_Name", System.Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50) comm.Parameters("@First_Name").Value = fnameTextBox.Text . . . comm.Parameters.Add("@StatusID", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int) comm.Parameters("@StatusID").Value = randomvalue 'Enclose database code in Try-Catch-Finally Try ' Open connection conn.Open() ' Execute the command comm.ExecuteNonQuery() ' Reload page if the query executed successfully Response.Redirect("HelpDesk.aspx") Catch ' Display error message dbErrorMessage.Text = _ "Error submitting the help desk request!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I need to search a column in my database (varchar:50) that contains a comma delimited string of numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10). Currently, I am doing the following SQL query:

Hi,
Can anyone tell me offhand the simplest/most elegant way of updating an integer column to a sequential column of numbers with a query?
e.g given
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
2 | Descvalue2| 4.33
3 | Descvalue3| 4.34
8 | Descvalue8| 4.35
change it to:
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
1 | Descvalue2| 4.33
2 | Descvalue3| 4.34
3 | Descvalue8| 4.35
I think it might need a stored proc..
Many Thanks
