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 descending
order?
Thanks,

1 have a table with 74 colun.But due to some deletion i have the ordinal postions as
1
2
3
.
.
69
70
72
73
74
76
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

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.
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 ..
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:

2nd
3rd
4th
5th
...
23rd
....
How will I do this?
Thank you.
I would like to add a field to a query that returns an ordinal number indicating which row of the results it is. Anybuddy know how?

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?

" there is no row at position 0".
note that we can't to change any thing in the code , i hope to find the answer for our problem thru database.

Hi,
I'm trying to get the position of a single value in the query results.
like this:
select * from tPerson order by ds_alias
results in
id_person | ds_name | ds_alias
15 | mark | AA
20 | john | AA
5 | mike | BB
8 | thomas | JK
2 | mike | MM
as you can see, I can have registries with the same name and with the same alias, there's no restriction
and I'm trying to find out how many registries there are before the second "mike", wich would be 3.. so it's the 4th element, get it?
I have no idea how to...
Thank in advance

Hi Everybody,
Is there any way to find the current position of a row in a table?. Like what we have in Oracle ROWID, Like that anything available in SQL Server.
I have seen NEWID(),uniqueidentifier & ROWGUIDCOL in BOL. Apart from that any easy method is available in SQL Server?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi there, it has been a while since i have posted. I am in asituation where I am stumped. I am learning to build a dts packagewhere I am connecting to a table in an AS400. This database is beingmaintained by an outsourced company and therefore I can't change thetable structure or even ask them to. Anyway, this table currently hasabout 104,000 records. I am building a package to check it and pullout the most recent records and put them where they go in my SQLServer 2000 tables. The only way I can think of to get the mostrecent records is to use a global variable in the package to rememberthe record count and then get those records from that record positionon. Problem is, I have no idea how I would go about selecting recordsfrom a record position. Does anybody have any ideas or should I beusing a different approach? There are no time stamps to work from. Iwas told that the AS400 records, including updates, are appended tothe table, which is why I thought this approach made sense. I wouldtruly appreciate any help.

I am so frustrated, I don't know what to do. I have spoken to everyone that I know on how to explain this error message, but my supervisor wants to dispute every thing I tell him.
Could someone PLEASE explain the following error message and how I can go about finding what fields that it's talking about?
e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: There is no data for the field at position 15., ;
Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: There is no data for the field at position 15.
I have two environments (2 seperate companies on seperate servers). In Environment #1 (referred to as Env1 from this point on) that runs the report and generates a few of these errors (10 for an example). In Environment #2, the same report only modified SLIGHTLY for the other company, runs the report and generates 50 errors. I'd be more than happy to post the log here if someone needs it.
Someone, please, save me from logfile hell. I have told this supervisor that "No data for the field" pretty much means that there was NO DATA RETURNED. We know for a FACT that these two environments are completely different. One runs on real servers and the other is running on partial real servers and virtual servers. We have identified several differences in the configurations, but he wants me to nail down EXACTLY what is causing this error. Please remember, "No Data" is not a good enough response for this person.
Please, for the love of all that is Chocolate, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I have a parameter which populates the years. when user selects the year, i populate the start period values and end period values in two other parameters. So the the report has 3 parameters for the report.
The look and feel of the parameters is as follows:
First row : Year Parameter and Start Period Parameter .
Second row : End Period Parameter
But I want the parameter positions or look & feel as follows:
First row : Year Parameter .
Second row : Start Period Parameter & End Period Parameter.
Can anyone give a suggestion or hack or tip for my requirement.
Thanks,
Madhu.
Dear all,
I feel I am almost there with my current project but I am just trying to solve the last few problems here.
I was not able to have a columnized sub report within my main non columnized report as all sub reports inherit the layout of the main page (a known limitation).
However, I need to get some data into columns on my main page so I have had to hack around the issue to get the desired results.
Instead of creating one columnized subreport (which wont work in the main page) I have added two non-columnized sub reports to the main page listing the first half of the data in one subreport and the 2nd half of the data in the other subreport.
The problem is this. I need to put a total at the end of the data. And it depends how much data there is as to where the total should be (left column or right column) If there are only 10 lines of data then the first left hand sub report will display those results and the right hand sub report wont display anything. However, if there are 100 lines returned then both sub reports will display data and the total will need to be at the bottom of the right sub report.
Can I achieve this with an IIF statement? Any suggestions would be most helpful.

I have a table that expands and pushes down objects under it, i don't want this to happen i want my objects to use an absolute position so i can jiggle things how i want them - this doesn't seem to be an option in SSRS 2005?
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen i put a table beside 2 graphs on my report, as the table expands it pushs the bottom table down ONLY when when it's displayed on the final webpage. the preview features shows it as being correct.

Hello,
I have a group that is custom made on the table's grouping expression, something like
=SWITCH(Fields!Country.Value="Portugal",IIF(Fields!Storetype.Value="Frs","Portugal Frs", "Portugal"),
Fields!Country.Value="Italy","Italy",Fields!Country.Value="Spain","Spain",Fields!Country.Value="United States","United States",
Fields!Country.Value="Internet","Internet",Fields!Country.Value<>"","Other")
The thing is that i order this by my value, and then i use a column that is the rowcount, but sadly i got
11 Portugal
19 United States
30 Spain
How can i do this like
1 Portugal
2 US
3 Spain
Is there something like in C ++1 or something that increments a number depending on the line of the table that is in?
Thank you
