Return Set Ordered By Physical Order Of Rows?
Nov 5, 2012
I would like to do a SELECT query and have the return set ordered by the order which the rows are physically stored in the table.
Specifically, something like:
Select a.*, b.normalizedColumn
FROM table a
JOIN table b
(a.id = b.id)
ORDER BY "Physical order of table a rows"
I believe if there is a clustered index on the table, I can just order by that index and it SHOULD be the physical order of the table.
(I would like to see this as I am generating mock data and would like to verify the "randomness" of the data inserted).

How can I create a function that returns hierarchical data from a table with this structure:
- CategoryID
- CategoryName
- CategoryFather
I want to bring the result set like this...
CategoryID | CategoryName | CategoryFather | HierarchicalLevel
1 | Video | 0 | 0
2 | DivX | 1 | 1
3 | WMV | 1 | 1
4 | Programming | 0 | 0
5 | Web | 4 | 1
6 | ASP.Net | 5 | 2
7 | ColdFusion | 5 | 2
How can I do this? Does anybody has a sample code? I need this on SQL Server 2000 and if it's possible (but not too necessary) in SQL Server 2005.
Thanks.

Hi,guys!I have a table below:CREATE TABLE rsccategory(categoryid NUMERIC(2) IDENTITY(1,1),categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(categoryid))Then I do:INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('url')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('document')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('book')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('software')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('casus')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('project')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('disert')Then SELECT * FROM rsccategory in ,I can get a recordeset with the'categoryid' in order(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)But If I change the table definition this way:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE,The select result is in this order (3,5,7,2,6,4,1),and 'categoryname 'in alphabetic.Q:why the recordset's order is not the same as the first time since'categoryid' is clustered indexed.If I change the table definition again:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE CLUSTEREDthe result is the same as the first time.Q:'categoryname' is clustered indexed this time,why isn't in alphabeticorder?I am a newbie in ms-sqlserver,or actually in database,and I do havesought for the answer for some time,but more confused,Thanks for yourkind help 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 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?

Hi All,
I am using sql server 2005. I stuck out in a strange problem.
I am using view in my stored procedure, when I run the stored procedure some of the rows get skipped out means if select query have to return 10 rows then it is returning 5 rows or any other but not all, also the records displyaing is randomly coming, some time it is displaying reords 12345 next time 5678, other time 2468.
But if I run seperately the querys written in SP then it returns all the rows. Please give me solution why it is happening like this.
There are indexes in the tables.
Once I shrink the database and rebuild the indexes, from then this problem is happening. I have rebuild the indexes several time, also updated the statistics but nothing improving.
But nothing is improving

How do I properly write a CASE statement for the following business logic:
I want three of the following fields to be true in order to return 'Y'.
For example:
If field name 'Accepted' = 1 AND field 'StepNo' = '1' and field 'Visit' = 'V1'
Otherwise, I want it to return 'N'.
I have tried the following code below and it is not working.
, CASE WHEN Accepted = '1' AND StepNo ='1' AND Visit ='V1'
THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END AS 'StatusQ (Col N)'

I am currently trying to insert or import some rows into a table and sql server always seems to sort it by one of the columns in a different order that I insert the data. I would appreciate any feedback on this issue. Here is my table structure.
columnA columnB columnC columnD columnE columnF columnG
char char int int int smallint char
it keeps sorting by column F and seperates them by odds and evens. Does any have a clue why this is happening? I am just using these two inserts.
insert into tableNAME values('AA', 'A55', 0, 31, 1, 1, 3)
insert into tableNAME values('AA', 'A55', 0, 31, 1, 2, 2)
These two rows would be seperated by any other rows already contained in the table. If I add more rows. It lumps them by odds and evens.
Thanks

Trying to do a paging scheme without using #Temp tables in MS SQL 7.0
Client calls a sp passing 1 and sql returns the first 100 records.
Client sends a sp passing 100 and gets the next 100 records.
Process continues till @@fetch_status <> 0 or the client can stop sending requests.
I implemented it easily using fetch absolute into a #temp table but this has dissaster potential in a multiuser environment since everyone will be using this query continously and there is no user limit.
What other options do I have?
Thanks,
John

Hello!
I have two similar servers (hardware) with
SQL Server 2000 (SP1) on Win2000 (SP2).
(sp_helpsort - default)
When I run the same SELECT statement from Query Analyzer on each machine
I get different rows order in result Grid
(the order of rows stays the same for each machine but different for
machine1 and machine2)
SELECT table1.a,
table1.b,
table1.c,
table1.d
FROM table2,
table1,
table3
WHERE table2.nTestDefnId = 1034
AND table2.nDefnId = table1.nDefnId
AND table3.szClinDiscType = 'X'
AND table2.nDiscId = table3.nDiscId
What is a reason for such behavior and how I can fix it?
Thank you in advance,
Elena.

hi,i have a stored procedure like this in SQL server ,it returns proper value if data is there for a given id.But if there is no data,it returns row/rows of NULL value and that is counted towards "number of row returned"..Shouldn't it be like,if there are null values in a row,that row should not be counted towards rows returned value .?Rightnow if no value returned from either of the select,it still returns as 2 rows instead of 0 rows.How do handle this situation in SQL? thanks for your help
SELECT SUM(col1) AS SUM_COL1, SUM(col2) AS SUM_COL2, SUM(col3) AS SUM_COL3, SUM(col4) AS SUM_COL4FROM TABLE1WHERE (ID = nn) UNION all
SELECT SUM(col22) AS SUM_COL22 ,cast(null as int) as c1,cast(null as int)as c2,cast(null as int) as c3FROM table2WHERE TABLE2 = nn)

I have a database that has 100,000+ records in a table. Am I better off returning all of the records from a search even if it is 50,000 records or is it better to do a SELECT COUNT(*) And nested SELECT TOP x statements to only return 1 page of results? What is the best practice for a situation like this?
SELECT * FROM myTable LEFT OUTER JOIN ... LEFT OUTER JOIN......WHERE something=@something AND another.... AND...
OR
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable LEFT OUTER JOIN ... LEFT OUTER JOIN......WHERE something=@something AND another... AND... ORDER BY @OrderAnd
SELECT TOP(@pagesize) FROM (SELECT TOP(@pagesize * @pagenum) FROM myTable LEFT OUTER JOIN ... LEFT OUTER JOIN......WHERE something=@something AND another... AND... ORDER BY @Order)ORDER BY @revOrder

Does sql server have a mechanism (aside from count()) that for any given SELECT query will tell you only how many rows it will return without actually returning the data?
The reason for this is that we have a generic lookup form in an application that is used on almost every screen (we have a lot of screens, so it gets a lot of different, sometimes complicted, queries passed to it to use for the lookup, and having to manually edit the query to use count over all the select clauses doesn't seem like the best way to handle this. If we could do a kind of 'trial run' against the server just to get the number of rows and use that to help set up the form, that would be ideal.

The following query returns 2142 rows which is correct.
Code:
select COUNT(*), sum(v.currentMarket)
from TRMaster m
inner join TRValue v on v.Year = m.Year and v.Parcel = m.Parcel
inner join TRProp p on P.PropCode = V.PropCode and p.PropType = 'A'
where m.Year = 2013 and m.deleted = 0 and m.ReviewDateTime is null and m.Status = 1
group by m.Year, m.Parcel
having SUM(v.currentmarket) > 0
How can I convert this query so that it returns just the count of 2142?

I have a Dataset that I am populating from a SQL Query. I am then using the dataset to populate a report in Reporting Services. What I want to do is return a standard number of rows in my dataset. (Let's say 10.) Even if my query does not have any rows in it, I want 10 empty rows returned to the dataset. If my query has 7 rows in it then I want to add on 3 empty rows and return it. I will not have more than the standard number of rows.
I cannot get the table in the report to show up if the dataset is empty, but still want the table to display with 10 empty rows. I have searched how to do this online but am getting nowhere. (I know how to add one empty row but not a set number.

Hi,
I noticed something strange today. I created a pkg that reads a flat file and writes the rows to a table.
In checking the data in the file against what's in the table, I noticed that the rows were inserted in a different order than they are in the file.
All the rows appear to be in the table correctly, but they're just not in the same order as in the file. I've never seen this before. But I checked very carefully, and this is indeed the case.
Is this normal??
Thanks

Hello!
I would like randomly change the order of the rows in my table. Is there any way to do that? I also have a question about random generator. Is it possible to get a repeatable sequence of random numbers between 1 and 10 in T-SQL? (for example 2,7,6,5,8,9,3,2,....each state with the same probability). But i need the same sequence every time i run my procedure. I know this is just a pseudo generator. I tried to use function rand([seed]) and change the seed value, but I got some strange results...(floor(rand([seed])*100))
Thanx for any idea,
Z.
