Problem With ORDER BY Statement
Sep 28, 2005
I have list of sort options say Relevance, Date Posted, Salary and Job Location. I want to ORDER the search results with the options given above. Relevance, Salary and JobLocation in ascending order and Date Posted in Descending order. I tried adding ORDER BY to the below statement using case but its not working out. And ORDER BY doesn't accept variables as well. Can I use ORDER BY or Is their any other way handle this.Thanks in Advance.SELECT J.* FROM JobDetails AS J JOIN(SELECT DISTINCT J1.JobID FROM JobDetails AS J1inner join dbo.Split1(@list, ' ') AS SON J1.JobPosition LIKE '%' + S.Data + '%') J1 ON J1.JobID = J.JobIDSavvy

Hi guys,
I have the query below (running okay):
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
INTO AuxiliaryTable
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable
The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810
8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760
22810
Is there any good suggestion?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Aldo.

The query below at the bottom works, but when I try to add the line below (a third line/argument in the CASE statement) then I get an error. It is not possible to have a table name and a DESC (sort order) in the same CASE line/argument. Are there other ways to accomplish this, because I would like to sort with both "h.ObjectType" and "h.ObjectType DESC"? WHEN @SortBy = 2 THEN h.ObjectType DESC SELECT weight, ObjectText.ObjectId, ObjectText.ObjectType, ObjectText.Title, ObjectText.ShortText FROM @hits h INNER JOIN ObjectText ON h.id = ObjectText.ObjectId AND h.ObjectType = ObjectText.ObjectType WHERE ObjectText.LanguageCode = @LanguageCode ORDER BY CASE WHEN @SortBy = 0 THEN weight WHEN @SortBy = 1 THEN h.ObjectType END DESCRegards, Sigurd

Hi,
I'm trying to write a UNION statement with 2 selects and can't figure out for the life of me how to do it.
select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY dateJoined
UNION
select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY lastLogin
The union works fine without the order by's, but I really need the order by's in there and I don't understand why its so difficult to do. Surely there must be some other strategy?
Any help is much appreciated.. thanks!!

Is there a shortcut to spelling out column names when you are doing a select statement?
For instance could you write Select 1, 5, 6 from table where whatever...
I tried this but didn't get any results so if you can I must be using wrong syntax.
Thanks

hi all,
i have the following union statement, which works like a charm:SELECT [Name], [EventID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], [Date], NULL AS [StartDate], [Date] AS [SortDate], [Type] FROM [Events] WHERE [TourID] IS NULL AND AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel UNION SELECT [Name], [TourID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], NULL AS [Date], [StartDate], [StartDate] AS [SortDate], '2' AS [Type] FROM [Tours]WHERE AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel ORDER BY [SortDate]
now i want to ad a limit to this statement, but i can't get it working. i have tried this:SELECT * FROM (SELECT [Name], [EventID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], [Date], NULL AS [StartDate], [Date] AS [SortDate], [Type] FROM [Events] WHERE [TourID] IS NULL AND AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel UNION SELECT [Name], [TourID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], NULL AS [Date], [StartDate], [StartDate] AS [SortDate], '2' AS [Type] FROM [Tours]WHERE AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel) ORDER BY [SortDate] LIMIT 2
but i keep getting an error message saying "Incorrect syntax near the keyword "ORDER". what am i doing wrong?

HiI've done a search and found plenty on ORDER BY problems, but mineshopefully a syntax error.This is a test segment from my stored procedure.DECLARE @Name varchar(50), @SortType IntSET @Name = "canal lock"SET @SortType = 8SELECT dbo.ite_Item.ite_IDFROM dbo.ite_Item LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.iti_ItemImages ONdbo.ite_Item.ite_ID = dbo.iti_ItemImages.iti_LinkToItemWHERE iti_ItemImages.iti_LinkToPhotoType=1AND ite_Name LIKE '%' + @Name + '%'ORDER BYCASEWHEN @SortType = 3 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_DateWHEN @SortType = 5 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_ViewsWHEN @SortType = 7 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_DescriptionEND ASC,CASEWHEN @SortType = 2 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_NameWHEN @SortType = 4 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_DateWHEN @SortType = 6 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_ViewsWHEN @SortType = 8 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_DescriptionEND DESC,CASEWHEN @SortType <> 2 THEN dbo.ite_Item.ite_NameEND ASCI get various errors:@SortType = 2. This is a Name field varchar(50)Syntax error converting the varchar value 'Canal Lock' to a column ofdata type smallint.I only have one smallint col and that is the ite_Views column. Why isit trying to convert a varchar(50) col?@SortType = 3. This is a ISO date field nchar(8)The conversion of the nvarchar value '20030909' overflowed an INT2column. Use a larger integer column.Why?@SortType = 7, 8. These are description fields varchar(5000)Syntax error converting the varchar value '<snip>' to a column of datatype smallint.Again, why?All other sort types are fine.What I'm thinking is that when the ORDER BY code is run, it does someconversion but what?Many thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas?Sam

I use Order By Used with Case Statement and may be this is the reason for which i am getting error
Windowed functions can only appear in the SELECT or ORDER BY clauses.
Here is my complete sql where i use Row_Number function for pagination with sorting.

Hi,
I have a simple sql statement that used to work in SQL 2000 that isn't working in SQL 2005. The order by clause doesn't seem to have any effect on the result set. The sql statement is:
ALTER VIEW dbo.SELECT_PP_END
AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
PP_PERIOD_ID,
CONVERT(VARCHAR, PP_END_DATE, 101) AS PP
FROM dbo.PP_PERIODS
ORDER BY PP_END_DATE DESC
The period end date is appearing in ascinding order on sql server 2005 and in the correct order in sql 2000. Any idea? Thank you for your help

I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ;
however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks
J
declare @date
set @date = '2001'
select internalID from section_data_v3
union
select internalID from section_data_v4
order by
case when (@date = '2001') then internalID end desc

Table 2 Order details
Order Details ID, Order ID, Order Stage
Table 3 Related Order details
Order ID(FK to Order ID), Related Order Details ID(FK to Order Details ID), Related Order ID( FK to Order ID)
Here is example
Table 1 Order

2, 1234, 2015-02-02, Extension
Table 2 Order Details
1, 1, Approved
2, 1, Approved
3, 2, Rejected
Table 3 Related Order Details
2, 1, 1
2, 2, 1
I have to Select Order, Order Details and Order Status
Order Status is determined from Order Stage as follows:
If, at least one order detail line(from Order Details and Related Order details table) is approved, that Order status=Approved.
For the example, Order Status of Order ID=2, is Approved based on order status for order details lines 3(from table 2) and order details ID 1 and 2 (from table 3)
How to combined order stage from table 2 and table 3 and then compute order status.

The stored procedure, below, results in this error when I try to compile...
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertImportedReportData, Line 69
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.
However the select statement itself runs perfectly well as a query, no errors.
The T-SQL manual says you can't use the keywords COMPUTE, COMPUTE BY, FOR BROWSE, and INTO in a cursor select statement, but nothing about plain old ORDER BYs.
What gives with this?
Thanks in advance

Greetings,
I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered.
How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC
END
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT A.Name
FROM
...
...
ORDER BY A.[Index]
END
Thanks

I am trying to order by the field and direction as provided by input parameters @COLTOSORTBY and @DIR while using a CTE and assigning Row_Number, but am running into syntax errors.
Say I have a table called myTable with columns col1,col2,col3,
Here's what I'm trying to do
with myCTE AS
(
Select
col1

,row_number() over (order by
case when(@DIR = 'ASC') then
case when @COLTOSORTBY='col1' then col1 asc
when @COLTOSORTBY='col2' then col2 asc
else col3 asc
end
else
case when @COLTOSORTBY='col1' then col1 desc
when @COLTOSORTBY='col2' then col2 desc
else col3 desc
end
end
from myTable
)
Please let me know what i can do with minimal code repetition and achive my goal of dynamically sorting column and direction. I do not want to use dynamic SQL under any circumstance.

Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...
SQL Server Express edition
Visual Studios 2005
Jet 4.0 newest upgrade
.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)
VS2005 Security upgrade
Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?
I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express

I never paid much attention to this before but I noticed this today in a new table I was creating.
For tables defined in the tabular model the table properties have something like SELECT Blah FROM TableName ORDER BY Blah Then in the tabular model the table's data is in the same order it was ordered by in the data source for the table.
I have a date table I setup and I noticed it is NOT respecting the sort order.
I have it sorted by DateID which sorts with the oldest date first and newest date as last row.However, the table that is imported and stored in the data model is not in that order.
I can of course manually sort the rows in BIDS/DataTools, but I find this discrepancy odd.
Would this have negative impacts on the EARLIER function for example if the data rows are not in the order specified?

Select a.OrderID,SUM(UnitPrice*Quantity-Discount)
From [Order Details]
Inner Join Orders a
On a.OrderID=[Order Details].OrderID
Group by a.OrderID
My question is what if I wanted to create a formula to something like:
UnitPrice * Quantity - DiscountAmount Where DiscountAmount = UnitPrice Quantity * Discount
Do I need to create a function for that? Also is it possible to have m y query as a table variable?

Hi!
I recently run into a senario when a procedure quiered a table without a order by clause. Luckily it retrived data in the prefered order.
The table returns the data in the same order in SQL Manager "Open Table"
So I started to wonder what deterimins the sort order when there is no order by clause ?
I researched this for a bit but found no straight answers. My table has no PK, but an identiy column.
Peace.

Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11Bank of abcde
10Bank of abcde
9Bank of abcde
8Bank of abcde
7Bank of abcde
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6 Bank of abcde
5 Bank of abcde
4 Bank of abcde
3 Bank of abcde
2 Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11 Bank of abcde
10 Bank of abcde
9 Bank of abcde
8 Bank of abcde
7 Bank of abcde
6 Bank of abcde
5 Bank of abcde
4 Bank of abcde
3 Bank of abcde
2 Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users.
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?
