Returning In Table Called Order Using UNION
Apr 23, 2008
Hello again,
I am using UNION to return these 2 tables:
TableA
QID Q
1 Name?
2 Age?
3 Phone?
TableB
QID Q
1 DogName?
2 CatName?
When I use the following query;
SELECT * FROM TableA UNION SELECT * FROM TableB
I get the following return:
QID Q
1 whateverquestions
1
2
2
3
but I wish it to return in order of table invoke:
QID
1

Is that possible? (by not changing QID)

Hi all,
I looked in what appeared to be pertinent threads, but found no satisfaction (I realize you can't always get what you want, but if I try this time, I've found that I can't even seem to get what I need ??? ).
OK, seriously folks...
I have a batch job on windows NT that fires off a series of bcp operations to export data from tables to flat files as a part of daily processing.
If, for some reason, the bcp fails, is there a way to catch the failure in the batch file? Presently we are seeing the batch file attempt a bcp, which fails (due to a general network error, or something fun like that) and then go skipping happily along to the next bcp without telling us of the failure.
Suggestions? Thanks!
Paul

Hi
I have two tables which I'm combining.
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.
thanks

Hello,
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)
Here is the whole query in case this helps, thank you

Hi,
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):
QUERY 1
select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3
WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=?
and s.ldate<=?
and v.mdtid=20411
order by s.ldate desc
RESULTS 1

and v.mdtid=20411
Union
select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

As you can see, the results are sorted very differently. Is there any way to have the order by apply to both queries?
Thanks!

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

Hi all,
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.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

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

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!!

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

You'll have to excuse my if statement if the syntax is incorrect (used to only writing asp ifs :P). Thanks for any help

Hi!
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
select date3, date2, date1, who, what
from
(
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from shows
union
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from shares
union
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from soiree
)
a order by date3, date2, date1

I have the following as part of a union query:
CONVERT(CHAR(8), r.RRDate, 1) AS [Date]
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.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi,
I need to get first entries orderd by datetime asc, but I need the newest of this block returned first.
Imagine to have some entries:
08:00 ...
09:00 ...
10:00 ...
.... ...
15:00
16:00
17:00
....
I want to get the first 3 but the highest in time first.
Like this:
10:00 ...
09:00 ...
08.00 ...
Any idea?
Thanks a lot

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!
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.

I'm trying to call a Stored Procedure from a Inline Table-Valued Function. Is it possible? If so can someone please tell me how? And also I would like to call this function from a view. Can it be possible? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks

I'm using SS 2012.
I started with an inline table returning function with a hard coded input table name. This works fine, but my boss wants me to generalize the function, to give it in input table parameter. That's where I'm running into problems.
In one forum, someone suggested that an input parameter for a table is possible in 2012, and the example I saw used "sysname" as the parameter type. It didn't like that. I tried "table" for the parameter type. It didn't like that.
The other suggestion was to use dynamic sql, which I assume means I can no longer use an inline function.
This means switching to the multi-line function, which I will if I have to, but those are more tedious.
Any syntax for using the inline function to accomplish this, or am I stuck with multi-line?
A simple example of what I'm trying to do is below:
Create FUNCTION [CSH388102].[fnTest]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
@Source_Tbl sysname
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
select @Source_Tbl.yr from @Source_Tbl
)
Error I get is:
Msg 1087, Level 16, State 1, Procedure fnTest, Line 12
Must declare the table variable "@Source_Tbl".
If I use "table" as the parameter type, it gives me:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure fnTest, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'table'.
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure fnTest, Line 12
Must declare the scalar variable "@Source_Tbl".
The input table can have several thousand rows.

SQL Server 2008 r2...
I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...
Query below [for reference]...
WITH cte AS (
SELECT A.[PoleID], ISNULL(B.[IsSpanClear], 0) AS [IsSpanClear], B.[SurveyDate], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.[PoleID] ORDER BY B.[SurveyDate] DESC) rownum
FROM[UT_Pole] A
LEFT OUTER JOIN [UT_Surveyed_Pole] B ON A.[PoleID] = B.[PoleID]
[Code] .....

Is there a way to attach a single record to a Select expression without another table?
Here's my case: I am developing a Select query for a report. The report has to show a row for each month, but not all months are necessarily represented in the data, so the result is a report with some of the months missing. Can't have that. To "force" the appearance of all months, I'd like to UNION my Select query to "dummy" records for each month with zeros in the data fields, or something like that. But I'd like to avoid creating a table just to hold the months for the Union. Is there a way to attach records to the result of a Select without those records coming from a table? I'd like to be able to say something like this:
"Do this SELECT. Now, append a row with the following values..."
Thanks!

In a table-valued UDF, does the UDF use a table variable or a temp table to form the resultset returned?

What am I missing?
I have three tables "UNIONED" and I want the this inserted into a table.
INSERT INTO mytable (A, B, C, D, E)
SELECT A, B, C, D, E
FROM
(SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS1 UNION SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS2)
UNION
(SELECT A, B, C, D, E
FROM a_lot_of_parts)
GROUP BY A,B,C,D,E
This part alone works just like I want it:
(SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS1 UNION SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS2)
UNION
(SELECT A, B, C, D, E
FROM a_lot_of_parts)
I just want it inserted inte stated columns in my table.
I've stared so much at this I'm "homeblind", ie I can't see the forest because of all the trees...
