I'm trying to get the results from three different tables, where they have some of the same results. I'm only interested in where they match and then trying to order by date (that's in three columns - M, D, Y). I read previous post in 9/07 but the result doesn't seem to order correctly. It does not have any rhyme or reason to the outputed results as it bounces back and forth through Oct, Nov and Dec posting and throughout all three tables. Here's my query below. Any ideas how I can get my ordering correct for all three tables to display all Oct, all Nov and all Dec?
Thanks so much

This query works perfectly and orders by just as I need
Code: Select '1st' As [Type], #Uno.ID #Uno.Address, #Uno.shippingInfo FROM #Uno
[Code] ....
However, when I use it in a Union All so I can pull data from 2 diff tables, the order by statement no longer works. How can I order by data in 2 tables?
Code: Select '1st' As [Type], #Uno.ID #Uno.Address, #Uno.shippingInfo FROM #Uno
I am trying to combine 2 queries, each with their own 'order by' and I am having trouble.
This is just an example, not what I'm trying to do, my query is more elaberate but looks simular to this.
SELECT TOP 10 *, 'FieldA' AS SortedBy FROM TableA Order By FieldA Desc UNION ALL SELECT TOP 10 Precent *, 'FieldB' AS SortedBy FROM TableA Order By FieldB Asc
Anyway not to get the following error? Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 34 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'UNION'.
I also want to order by date but when I do that it doesn't order correctly because of the conversion to char data type (for example, it puts 6/15/05 before 9/22/04 because it only looks at the first number(s) and not the year). If I try to cast it back to smalldatetime in the order by clause it tells me that ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION operator. I get the same message if I try putting just "r.RRDate" in the ORDER BY clause. It's not that big of a deal - I can lose the formatting on the date if I need to to get it to sort correctly, but this query gets used frequently and I'd like to keep the formatting if possible.
Hi AllI am having a problem with an ORDER BY clause when selecting information from multiple tables. EgSELECT i.InvoiceId, pd.PayDescription, u.UserNameFROM Invoice i LEFT OUTER JOIN tblPay ON i.PayId = pd.PayId LEFT OUTER JOIN tblUsers ON i.UserId = u.UserIdORDER BY pd.PayDescriptionthis is just an example my query is a lot more complex. Is there any simply way you can do an order by in this way?I am writing this for MSSQL Server 2000ThanksBraiden
Currently I have a standard query with a join to several tables. There are two additional tables MAS_CTB and MAS_STB. I would like to do a union between those two tables to get FIELDVALUE which will exist in either the CTB table or the STB table and then have that value be returned with the results of the original query.
I can of course write a UNION from the main query to the CTB and then to the STB table, however it's about 80 dummy fields I would have to replicate in the union which is why I was wondering if there was a more simple way.
Main Query: SELECT Field1, Field2...Field80 From Table1 Join Table2
Union Portion: Select FieldValue <------ From MAS_CTB UNION Select FieldValue <-----Return to main query above From MAS_STB
I have some data that I'd like to order by a certain attribute.. but if there is a tie, then it should order by a secondary attribute.. and if there's still a tie.. then a 3rd attribute.
Currently the query looks like this:
SELECT * FROM Players WHERE ORDER BY Points
But I want it to look something like this (I know this doesn't work.. but it's just to give an idea):
SELECT * FROM Players WHERE ORDER BY (Points desc AND Games asc AND Goals desc)
Does anyone know the proper syntax for a multiple ORDER BY query like I described above?
I have table1 with orderID and demographic info. Table2 with orderID and items. I would like to have a results display like this: OrderIDDemographicInfo Item1Item2Item3....ect One line per order. When I do a join I displaying all items in different rows.
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query: SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo. 30429 Cheque 250 Deposit 250
30429 679.98 250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result. So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1 union all Select CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2 order by startDt
This works fine, unfortunately, my problem is I only want to display the first latest customer. In a Union All, how do i distinguish whether I'm ordering the table it is trying to union or the actual unioned table tiself?
For example, this does not work.
Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1 union all Select top 1 CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2 order by startDt desc order by startDt
hello, I have 2 tables which contain a lot of articles, and they have same structure. what I want to do is that, select top 10 articles from each table and then union those records to another table, also I need to order these articles in desc order by their added date before i union them.
what I know is that for union sql phrase , there is only one order by is allowed, so how could I order those 2 tables before i union them.

I am trying to use dynamic ORDER BY with UNION in a stored procedure but I keep getting this error message:
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator.
The ORDER BY works fine without the UNION, and the UNION works fine without the dynamic ORDER BY (just putting an ORDER BY works fine)

I'm currently have a problem with a query using a top clause. When I run it by itself as a single query, I have no problems and the results are valid. However, if I try duplicate the query after a union clause, the order by ... desc doesn't order properly.
The following is the query I'm using along with the results. Then I'll have the query I was trying to unite and the results (date ranges selected were the same in both):

All,I've seen several posts regarding using UNION or UNION ALL to mashtogether two or more resultsets into a single result set, but can'tseem to find enough info here to help me answer my particularquestion.I have a stored procedure that gets the column names in a particularformat (i.e. "chassis_id"|"chassis_description"|"modify_date") as wellas actual data for a given table (in a quote-separated, pipe-delimitedmanner i.e. "1"|"description for the chassis"|"2004-09-08").I'd like to get both of these resultsets and mash them together. Thisworks, but when I need to order the second resultset (i.e. select *from chassis order by chassis_id), SQL Server returns an errorcomplaining about the chassis_id column name (invalid column name'chassis_id') in the Order By clause.From what I can tell, I'm using the UNION and Order By in correctly,but I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with it. If I take out the OrderBy, everything works great. Although I would like to be able to ordermy second resultset (in the same sproc) if possible.The actual queries I'm running are actually quite long, but here's onethat's a bit shorter to help illustrate:SELECT '"app_group_id"|"app_group_name"|"create_date"|"create_by"|"modify_date"|"modify_by"'UNION ALLSELECT + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar,app_group_id), '') + '|'+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 1))), 1,0)+ '"' + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar(1000), +REPLACE(CONVERT(nvarchar(4000),app_group_name), '"', '""')), '') +'"|'+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 2))), 1,0)FROM app_grouporder by app_group_idThank for any help on this./bc
I need to run two select statment on the same tabel and i Use Union to join the result comes from the first table with the one comes from the second one. but one i use order by union dose not work.
my question is : How Can i run the two select statment on the same table and join the results and order each select?
my queries: Select ProductID,ProductSerial,ProductDate Where productID = @ProductID Order by ProductID
Union Select ProductID,ProductSerial,ProductDate Where productID = @ProductID Order by ProductID
I have the following UNION ALL statement that is my attempt to gather data for the past 5 weekdays (adding a "dummy" row for today's data).
I want the final output to end up in descending order, so for today, I would want today first, then Tuesday, then Monday, then Friday, then Thursday (provided there is data for each sequential day - if not, you get the idea, I want to select back to get the latest 5 days, most recent to oldest).
This select fails, because it doesn't like the ORDER BY in the subqueryselect CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN 'MON' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN 'TUES' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN 'WED' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN 'THUR' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN 'FRI' END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight UNION ALL (select top 4 CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN 'MON' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN 'TUES' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN 'WED' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN 'THUR' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN 'FRI' END as DOW, CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc )
I know you can't use an ORDER BY in a subquery, UNLESS the subquery also uses a TOP n (which this one does)...but does anyone know why this isn't liking my code?
I got the select to work the way I want it to by doing the following (really UGLY) code...SELECT U.DOW, U.Freight FROM ((select GETDATE() as [OrderDate], CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN 'MON' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN 'TUES' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN 'WED' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN 'THUR' WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN 'FRI' END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight ) UNION ALL (select h.OrderDate as [OrderDate], h.DOW, h.Freight FROM (select top 4 [OrderDate] as [OrderDate], CASE WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN 'MON' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN 'TUES' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN 'WED' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN 'THUR' WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN 'FRI' END as DOW, CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc ) H)) U order by OrderDate descbut am still confounded about why my original sub-select is rejected with such impunity.
My confusion seems likely related to understanding the set theory or basic concepts of the building of the select/Union rather than the way I am using the ORDER BY syntax, but I just can't seem to explain it to myself.
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?
Hi, Can anyone help as to how to get this to work? dbo.parseInt is a Function which sorts Alpha Numerically. If I removed the top part of the UNION, the Procedure works fine.

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?
Hi, I have a problem which I thought it has a simple solution but now I'm not even sure it is possible.
I have 3 tables Clients <-oo ClientContacts oo-> Contacts (the <-oo means one to may relation between the tables)
A Client may have related none, one or many Contact records. The table ClientContacts is the link that stores that information. The field ClientContacts.Category represents the type of the contact and it will be used in queries. It may be owner, accountant, employee, etc.
The result should return values for Contacts.FirstName, Contacts.LastName, Contacts.[E-mailAddress] if the Client has attached Contact records filtered by category, and '','','' or <NULL>,<NULL>,<NULL> if the Client does not have any Contact records.
I tryed an INNER JOIN but it will return juts the records having contact information.
I've run into an interesting challenge, and haven't figured out how to solve it yet. I'm fairly novice at MS SQL, and I would assume that there is a relatively simple/elegant solution. Here's what's going on:
I'm tracking projects that have a one to many relationship with sub-project type. There can be many entries for any given project and sub-project type. Each entry has a status.
EX: "Datalist"
ID Proj Sub-Proj Status 1 Alpha Review 1 2 Alpha Test 3 3 Alpha Review 2 4 Alpha Review 2 5 Alpha Test 4
In addition to the Datalist above, I've got a table which contains all valid combinations of Projects and Sub-Projects.
EX: "ValidCombos"
ID Proj Sub-Proj 1 Alpha Review 2 Alpha Test 3 Beta Review 4 Beta Rewrite 5 Beta Test
I need to make a query/table which contains the total number of IDs that have a given Project, Sub-Project, and Status.
EX using data from the tables above: "DesiredTable"
I am trying to write a query which includes the following two tables.
Incidents Column 1 = SourceContactNo
Contacts Column 1 = ContactNo Column 2 = Ref
The first columns in Incidents and Contacts both contain the same type of information (contact numbers, only the column names are different, some contact numbers appear in table 2 (contacts) which do not appear in incidents).What I really want to do is return the Contact Number & Ref from the table named contacts where the contact number is the same as SourceContactNo (in the first table incidents).Here is what I have so far:
SELECT Incidents.SourceContactNo, Contacts.ContactNo, Contacts.REF FROM Contacts, Incidents
FROM [MediaFileData] INNER JOIN [AudioPCData] ON MediaFileData.FileIdentifier = AudioPCData.FileIdentifier INNER JOIN [MetaData] ON MediaFileData.FileIdentifier = MetaData.FileIdentifier INNER JOIN [SSRData] ON MediaFileData.FileIdentifier = SSRData.FileIdentifier
WHERE ([MediaFileData].[SubmittingUser] = '{0}') AND ([AudioPCData].[RecorderID] = '{0}') AND ([MediaFileData].[MediaDescription] = '{0}') AND ([SSRData].[ModelUsed] = '{0}')
Each table has only got one 'FileIdentifier' apart from MetaData. This table has three columns 'FileIdentifer', 'FiledName' and 'FieldText'. One file can have more than one field and therefore It will have the same 'FileIdentifier' e.g.
FileIdentifier FieldName FieldText
1 Field 1 Hello
1 Field 2 Goodbye
The first problem is I only want to display the first and second field 'FiledText' in my results grid but still load all the other fields into my dataset.
The second problem is that it creates a new row for every field, whereas I want the fields with the same 'FileIdentifier' to be in the same row!
At the moment mt results gridlooks like this:
FileIdentifier RecorderID Channel SubmittingUser DateTimeAsString Field 1 Field 2
1 MyPC 1 Me 03/05/07 14:24 Hello Hello
1 MyPC 1 Me 03/05/07 14:24 GoodBye Goodbye
I need it to look like this:
FileIdentifier RecorderID Channel SubmittingUser DateTimeAsString Field 1 Field 2
Hello, I have a table called "ShoppingCart" which has fields for CartID, UniqueID and Quantity. At the moment I haven't specifed a primary key for this table becuase none of the fields are unique. I need to be able to link this ShoppingCart table to a table called "Size" using the UniqueID (both tables contain a field for UniqueID) in order to obtain the ProductID and CategoryID of the data item. I then need to link the ProductID and CategoryID I obtained from the first part of the SQL statement to a table called "plants" in order to get information from the following fields in the plants table: Common_Name, Latin_Name and Thumb_URL. So far I've been able to use an INNER JOIN with the Size table to obtain the ProductID and Category ID using.... SELECT * FROM ShoppingCart INNER JOIN Size ON ShoppingCart.UniqueID = Size.UniqueID WHERE CartID = @CartID ORDER BY ProductID I now need to be able to use the ProductID and Category ID I've obtained from this part of the query to reference the Common Name, Latin Name etc of the data item from the plants table. Is there any way that I could do this? I do sometimes wonder if I'm making this whole thing a lot more complicated than it needs to be. At the moment I'm storing details about the different types of plants the garden centre sells in the "plants" table. However, some plants are available in different sizes so I've got a table called "Size" which links to the plants table using the ProductID and CategoryID of data items. The Size table has a unique primary key field called "UniqueID" which is used to uniquely identify every plant that the garden centre sells (this cannot be done using Product/CategoryID becuase different sizes of the same plant have the same ProductID/CategoryID). I'm then storing just the CartID, UniqueID and Quantity in the "ShoppingCart" table. There must be an easier way of structuring the whole thing! I'd really appreciate any help you can offer me. Many thanks, Luke
