Hi guys,
How to produce ordinal numbers in sql query?
Say I have a table for a Building. My floor numbers are intergers, 1,2,3,4 and so on. When I run the query, the result I need is like this:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
...
23rd
....
How will I do this?
Thank you.
Is there a neat way to find an ordinal value from a table,for example the median or 95th percentile value in a column,without walking through the table in ascending or descendingorder?Thanks,Jim GeissmanCountrywide Home Loans

Dear all
I've received the following error on the startup of SQL SERVER. Repeating the error when trying to start Service Manager.
sqlmangr.exe : The ordinal 29 could not be located in the dynamic link library odbcbcp.dll
Can someone help me to solve it
Machine is Windows XP, Client is SQL2K . I tried rebooting without any luck. Uninstalled , reinstalled. After reboot when I try using SQL Clients (EM or QM) it returns the same errors regarding some Ordinal 29 and a big key from registry.. Please help

what i wants is to change the ordinal from 72 to 71,73 to 72,74 to 73,76 to 74
SELECT @field = 0, @maxfield = max(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName
-- handle insert case here
SELECT @field = min(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName and ORDINAL_POSITION > @field
SELECT @bit = (@field - 1 )% 8 + 1
SELECT @bit = power(2,@bit - 1)
SELECT @char = ((@field - 1) / 8) + 1
--IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('I','D')
IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('D') -- For the insertion case don't save the iserted data.
I needed it as i have a trigger whihc is adding value in a log table on update but due to this problem it fails for certain column
Trgger is solme thing like
WHILE @field < @maxfield
BEGIN
SELECT @field = min(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName and ORDINAL_POSITION > @field
SELECT @bit = (@field - 1 )% 8 + 1
SELECT @bit = power(2,@bit - 1)
SELECT @char = ((@field - 1) / 8) + 1
--IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('I','D')
IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('D') -- For the insertion case don't save the iserted data.
BEGIN
IF @Type not in ('I')
BEGIN
SELECT @fieldname = COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName and ORDINAL_POSITION = @field -1
--print('fieldname = '+@fieldname)
SELECT @sql = 'insert Audit (ActionTypeID, RowID, TableName, PK, FieldName, OldValue, NewValue, UpdateDate,UserID, UserName, UserType)'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' select convert(bigint,' + @ActionTypeID + ')'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',' + @RowID
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @TableName + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',' + @PKSelect

SELECT @sql = @sql + ',convert(varchar(1000),d.' + @fieldname + ')'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',convert(varchar(1000),i.' + @fieldname + ')'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @UpdateDate + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',' + @UserID
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @UserName + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @UserType + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' from #ins i full outer join #del d'
SELECT @sql = @sql + @PKCols
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' where i.' + @fieldname + ' <> d.' + @fieldname
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' or (i.' + @fieldname + ' is null and d.' + @fieldname + ' is not null)'

Is there any way to select columns by ordinal position rather than by name?
Something like
Select t.[1] as col1, t.[2] as col2
FROM table t
The question comes because of a very specific situation where I've got 2 databases that have exactly the same schema at a column/datatype level but the column names are different. There are a few other ways to skin the cat but I'm interested if it can be done this way - without a join to syscolumns.
I have a storeprocedure( sp_nthWorkingday) which return a calender date.
eg :
calendardate
9/9/2015
I wrote a dts script for displaying this date.Below is the code.
Function Main()
dim myConn
dim myRecordset
dim iRowCount
[code]....
But I am getting an error on execution.Error : item cannot be found in the collection to the requested name or ordinal
Hi,
I need to access columns from a data flow by ordinal position in a script transformation (I'm parsing an excel file which has several rowsets across the page). The first problem I encountered is the generated BufferWrapper does not expose the columns collection (i.e. Input0Buffer(0) does not work) but I got around that by implementing my own ProcessInputs(InputId, Buffer) method instead of using the wrapper.
My problem now is that the column ordinals are in some random order (i.e. Column "F1" is ordinal 1 but Column "F2" is 243). Where in the object model can I map between the name and the ordinal - it's not jumping out at me?

PS Why is the script editor modal, it's frustrating having to switch between the Visual Studio environment and the VSA one.
Hello and thanks in advance.

Hi
I am having a problem in auditing the column data in tables.My requirement is i have write a trigger which is capable of auditing the columns which are going to be added in the future also with out using dynamic SQL.is there any way to do so.
I feel if i can get the column data based on ordinal position then it is possible.
Can any body suggest.
My set Up is like this
I have a base_table to be audited.
I have a Audit_spec table which contains name of the table and columns to be audited.
And Audit table which actually captures the table name,column name ,old value and new value.
I have to audit only those columns in the Audit_spec spec.
If schema changes(Like new column added) happens to base_table and I want that column to be audited.with out any changes to my trigger code i should handle the newly added column ..
When creating xml fileformat its throwing me error "invalid ordinal".
When created non-xml file format, no error, and was also able to load data file into sql table. Not sure why bcp (Version: 10.50.1600.1) is not able to create xml file format.
