Any suggestions or fix?
Thank you. ========================================= The data above is in one colum. I would like to rearange the numbers in order. e.g. from "10 13 15 3 26" to "3 10 13 15 26".
It is one of the covenants of DBMS that data rows are retrieved in no particular order, and I have learned not to rely on that. However, I'd like to know under what circumstances could rows be returned, e.g., as a result of a simple query on SQL Server, not in the order they were stored. I have never seen this happen so far. I can't even test my sorting algorithms (on the data after it gets retrieved from the server) since it always comes already sorted. Naturally, I can always simulate this scenario (and I have) but this is kind of a "conflict of interest", I'd like to see "the real thing". Any ideas? Kamen
I'm a SQL noob still and need some help figuring out a weird problem. I have directory information I am trying to pump out in the correct order, no big deal except some entries need to be categorized based on a simple hierachy. So for example, there is an entry for a company division, and then there are all the subdivisions, and then a few offices. So it goes like this:
In other words, Desktop is an office in Support which is a part of Computing.
Now what I want is to basically pump all that data out via SQL in that exact order. So I have 3 fields that I am using and then trying to arrange it using Order By - except it doesn't come out correctly.
Code:
SELECT Division, Subdivision, Office FROM directory ORDER BY Division, Subdivision, Office
What happens with this is that I end up with all my Divisions in order only. So for example, the main entry for Computing has "Computing" as it's Division and Office, but I want it to appear first in the list so I set Subdivision to be "A" - Instead of it appearing first it appears second below an entry for a different Division that also has it's Subdivision set as "A". I end up with Divisions mixed into the wrong cluster of subdivisions and offices.
Anyone have any ideas? It seems like this should be fairly simple and yet somehow it isn't. Thanks in advance for any help!
In 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?
I want to select the below info from a sql 2005 db, to use it in a dynamic datadriven menu. Only problem, I don't know how to formulate my select statement. So here's the data
ID, TEXT HREF DESCR PARENTID
1 hMenu1 link1.htm desc text 0
2 hMenu2 link2.html desc text 0
3 sMenuM1 link3.htm desc text 1
4 sMenuTSMenu3 link4.htm desc text 3
I want the data structured so that below the row with id 1, would come it's subitems, subitems for the subitems and so on. So the recordset I'd like to return would in this case be:hMenu1 sMenuM1 sMenuTSMenu3 hMenu2 I've indented the data just to make things clearer. And finally, I want the substructure to be infinite at least in theory.I also do not want to use recursive logic to do this, if possible. I can change the structure of my table if neeed.Cheers!/Eskil
Hello, I am new to SSIS. I am trying to write a simple package to export data from some SQL 2005 tables and into a flat file. In my data flow, I am using the OLE-DB data source and then the flat file destination.
This all works fine except that I cant get the package to write the columns out in the order I want. Even when I drive the OLE-DB source by a query, they columns are getting written to the flat file in a different order than I want.
How is SSIS determining what order to write the columns in and, more importantly, how can I change it to do it in the order I want? Please help if you can. As mentioned I am new to SSIS so please give clear+simple answers.
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?
I have 4 Tablix and 2 of the Tablix get data from Server 1 and other 2 get the data from Server 2.I have set NoRowsMessage "=Data Not Available for the Selected Values" for all the 4 Tablix.Now if data is not available from Server 1 then I must show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in the outputbut now its appearing twice in the output because of the 2 tablix that had no rows.Similarly if data not available from Server 2 then it should show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in my output.If Data not avilable from all the Tablix then also i t should show only once as "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" in the report output.
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.
