SQL Server 2012 :: Inconsistent Results When Converting To Time?
Jun 5, 2014
I have a lot of rows of hours, set up like this: 0745, 0800, 2200, 1145 and so on (varchar(5), for some reason).
These are converted into a smalldatetime like this:
CONVERT(smalldatetime, STUFF(timestarted, 3, 0, ':')) [this would give output like this - 1900-01-01 11:45:00]
This code has been in place for years...and we stick the date on later from another column.
But recently, it's started to fail for some rows, with "The conversion of a varchar data type to a smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value".
My assumption is that new data being added in is junk. If I query for these values and just list them (rather than adding a column to convert them also) that's fine, of course. I've checked all the stuffed (but not yet converted - so 11:45 rather than 1145) output to see if it ISDATE(), and it is. There are no times with hours > 23 or minutes greater than 59 either.
If I add the CONVERT in, we see the error message. But here's the oddity, if I place all of the rows into a holding table, and retry the conversion, there is no error. It's this last bit that is puzzling me. Plus I can't see any errors in the hours data that would cause a conversion problem.
I've put the whole of this into a cursor to try to trap the error rows too, but all processes fine. Why would it fail if NOT in a cursor?

I am getting inconsistent results when BULK INSERTING data from a tab-delimited text file. As part of my testing, I run the same code on the same file again and again, and I get different results every time! I get this on SQL 2005 and SQL 2012 R2.
We have an application that imports data from a spreadsheet. The sheet contains section headers with account numbers and detail rows with transactions by date:
AAAA.1234 /* (account number)*/
1/1/2015 $150 First Transaction
1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Transaction
BBBB.5678
1/1/2015 $350 Third Transaction
1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Transaction
My Import program saves this spreadsheet at tab-delimited text, then I use BULK INSERT to bring the data into a generic table full of varchar(255) fields. There are about 90,000 rows in each day's data; after the BULK INSERT about half of them are removed for various reasons.
Next I add a RowID column to the table with the IDENTITY (1,1) property. This gives my raw data unique row numbers.
I then run a routine that converts and copies those records into another holding table that's a copy of the final destination table. That routine parses though the data, assigning the account number in the section header to each detail row. It ends up looking like this:
AAAA.1234 1/1/2015 $150 First Purchase
AAAA.1234 1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Purchase
BBBB.5678 1/1/2015 $350 Third Purchase
BBBB.5678 1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Purchase
My technique: I use a cursor to get the starting RowID for each Account Number: I then use the upper and lower RowIDs to do an INSERT into the final table. The query looks like this:
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber
FROM GenericTable
WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
Results look like this:
But every time I run the routine, I get different numbers!
Needless to say, my results are not accurate. I get inconsistent results EVERY TIME. Here is my code, with table, field and account names changed for business confidentiality.
TRUNCATE TABLE GenericImportTable;
ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable DROP COLUMN RowID;
BULK INSERT GenericImportTable FROM 'SERVERGeneralAppnameDataFile.2015.05.04.tab.txt'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ', ROWTERMINATOR = '', FIRSTROW = 6)
ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable ADD RowID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber
FROM GenericImportTable
WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'

I need to take a temporary table that has various times stored in a text field (4:30 pm, 11:00 am, 5:30 pm, etc.), convert it to miltary time then cast it as an integer with an update statement kind of like:
Update myTable set MovieTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(5),GETDATE(),108), ':', '')
how this can be done while my temp table is in session?

I am trying to calculate the time difference between the value in the row and the min value in the table. So say the min value in the table is 2014-05-29 14:44:17.713. (This is the start time of the test.) Now say the test ends at 2014-05-29 17:10:17.010. There are many rows recorded during that start and end time, for each row created a time stamp is created. I am trying to calculate the elapsed time and have it as a row in the results.
min(timestamp) - timestamp(value in row) = elapsed time for that test
where Channel = '273'
Here is the table DDL
CREATE DATABASE SpecTest;
USE SpecTest
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Spec1](
[Spec1ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Channel] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
Here is some dummy data to use
INSERT INTO Spec1 (Channel, Timestamp, Lambda, Power)
VALUES(273, '2014-05-29 14:44:17.713', 800, '-64.91');
INSERT INTO Spec1 (Channel, Timestamp, Lambda, Power)
VALUES(273, '2014-05-29 15:05:09.507', 800, '-59.11');
INSERT INTO Spec1 (Channel, Timestamp, Lambda, Power)
[Code] ....
Example desired results (I hope the formatting works)
Channel | Timestamp | Lambda | Power | Elapsed_Time
______________________________________________________________
273 | '2014-05-29 14:44:17.713', | 800, | '-64.91' | 0
273 | '2014-05-29 15:05:09.507', | 800, | '-64.91' | 00:20:51
273 | '2014-05-29 15:26:00.520', | 800, | '-64.91' | 00:41:42
273 | '2014-05-29 16:28:34.213', | 800, | '-64.91' | 01:44:16
273 | '2014-05-29 16:49:25.853', | 800, | '-64.91' | 02:05:08

Hello,
I have a linked server named 'Charlie_File' to an Excel Workbook that I set up in SQLServer 2005 Management Studio. The workbook is on my local C drive. Sometimes, I get the results back that I expect when I run the following query;
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(Charlie_file, 'SELECT * FROM [Feb$]')
Sometimes, on subsequent runs of the above query, I get the following message;
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "Charlie_file" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "Charlie_file".
There seems to be about a minute or so of a delay before the query will run correctly on subsequent attempts. Is there a connection issue here where a connection blocks subsequent attempts to select the data within a specific time span?
Thank you for your help!

I have the following data stored in a column in a table:
£10,000.00 & ' " % < > Guðmundsdóttir Björk Lårs Marqués María-Jose Carreño Quiñones
I query this in a stored procedure using the FOR XML clause and universal table, and store the result in an XML data type variable:
DECLARE@ResultXML
EXECUTE[someStoredProcedure] @Result OUTPUT
This data (as XML) is then written to a file; in order to do this, I CONVERT the data to NVARCHAR since there are unicode characters in the source:
DECLARE@strResultNVARCHAR(MAX)
SET@strResult= CONVERT( NVARCHAR( MAX ), @Result, 1 )
Now this works fine, except on inspection, SQLServer has decided to render the data thus:
£10,000.00 & ' " % < > Guðmundsdóttir Björk Lårs Marqués María-Jose Carreño Quiñones
Why it has changed the apos and quot entities to the corresponding character but not the other entities is beyond me.
how to preserve XML entities?

Hi,
I am building a report with a recursive hierarchy for drill-down purposes. The hierarchy is built by querying a SSAS OLAP cube and defining a details grouping for the table/matrix.
Every time I run the report one or more of the leaf members in the recursive hierarchy "jumps" up to the highest level. First I thought that this may be due to the fact that the leafs parents are not part of the returned dataset. However, the queries makes sense and the "offending" members does never contain any data (while the query should return only non empty members) which is why this is a very strange behavior. Furthermore, the "offending" member differs between different executions of the report, despite the fact that the parameters is exactly the same and the cube is untouched between executions.
I am actually pressing "View Report", waiting for the report to execute and when I press "View Report" again, the returned datasets seem to differ, yielding different "offending" members in the report.
When I run the queries individually in the Data-tab in BIDS, the returned datasets are always the same. Execution caching is turned off for the report.
Checking against SSRS's ExecutionLog, the RowCount for consecutive executions with the exact same parameters differ. For example, RowCount:
3094
3080
3079
3088
3087
Why does SSRS behave such inconsistently? Any tips or tricks?

I am running SQL Server 7.0 on NT 4.0. I have created a simple query:
SELECT SUM(month1) As total_month1
FROM eac_manload
WHERE project_number = 8800
and dept IN (50,51,52,55,57,60,61,62,63,64,65,68,69)
I first time I run the query I get the correct result. Subsequent times that I run the query the result is 1 record with a Null value. The data has not changed. If I stop MSSQLSERVER and restart the service I get the correct result the first time and the Null value each time thereafter. Anybody out there with any idea of what is going on here? Any help will be appreciated!!

I have a stored procedure (see below), in which I would like to check if the create an identity column and make it a primary key succeeded. I check @@error after the exec statement. This used to pick up an error if the table already had an identity column. It has stopped doing that. Why? And, if this is not the way to capture the error after the exec statement, how do I do it?

I'm testing some code to look up values from my database and update a specific field when certain conditions are met. I'm having trouble with some code that is giving me the results I expect when I submit one set of parameters, but is not finding anything in the database for another set, when I know the data exists.
Here's the code for my stored procedure, SP:
Code:
@flightid bigint,
@departuretime smalldatetime
SELECT flightid, flightno, departuretime, origincode, destinationcode
FROM flightschedules
WHERE flightid <> @flightid
AND departuretime = CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME, @departuretime, 120)
And here's the vbscript that calls it:
Code:
vOutboundID = 452
vReturnID = 453
'--- Get the flight details ---
strOrigin = "confirmflightdetails '" & vOutboundID & "';"
set rsOrigin = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsOrigin.Open strOrigin, objConn
response.write "origin " & rsOrigin("departuretime") & "<BR>"
strReturn = "confirmflightdetails '" & vReturnID & "';"
set rsReturn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsReturn.Open strReturn, objConn
response.write "return " & rsReturn("departuretime") & "<BR>"
strGetOFID = "SP '" & vOutboundID & "', '" & rsOrigin("departuretime") & "';"
set rsOFID = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsOFID.Open strGetOFID, objConn
DO WHILE NOT rsOFID.EOF
response.write "OFNO " & rsOFID("flightno") & " " & rsOFID("flightid") & "<br>"
rsOFID.MoveNext
Loop
strGetRFID = "SP '" & vReturnID & "', '" & rsReturn("departuretime") & "';"
set rsRFID = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsRFID.Open strGetRFID, objConn
DO WHILE NOT rsRFID.EOF
response.write "RFNO " & rsRFID("flightno") & " " & rsRFID("flightid") & "<br>"
rsRFID.MoveNext
Loop
Here's the code for confirmflightdetails:
Code:
@flightid bigint
AS
SELECT flightid, flightno, departuretime
FROM flightschedules
WHERE flightid = @flightid
When confirmflightdetails is tested, I the proper results, as confirmed by the response.write statements:
4521092006-07-29 08:00:00
4531102006-07-29 12:05:00
I put the response.write statements and loops in so I could verify the functionality.
Here's what it produces:
out 452
ret 453
origin 7/29/2006 8:00:00 AM
return 7/29/2006 12:05:00 PM
OFNO 109 450
Here's what it should produce:
out 452
ret 453
origin 7/29/2006 8:00:00 AM
return 7/29/2006 12:05:00 PM
OFNO 109 450
RFNO 110 451
If I do this in query analyzer:
Code:
select flightid, flightno, departuretime
from flightschedules
where flightid > 449 and flightid < 454
this is what I get from the database:
flightid flightno departuretime origin destination
4521092006-07-29 08:00:00 A C
4501092006-07-29 08:00:00 A B
4531102006-07-29 12:05:00 C A
4511102006-07-29 13:15:00 B A
What I'm trying to do is look up the chosen flight, then find the flight with the matching origin/destination (the other flight leg) on the same day.
I can't figure out why it's working for one set of parameters and not for the other.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I wonder if it is possible to run a stored procedure and save the results directly to a file in a predetermined directory
As an example I have created a (simple) stored procedure:
USE CovasCopy
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE spTryOut
(
@LastName as NVARCHAR(50)
, @FirstName AS NVARCHAR(25)
[Code] ....
What I would like to add is a (or more?) lines that save the results in a file (csv/txt/tab?)
The name I would like the file to have is "LastName, FirstName, Date query ran, time (HHMMSS?) query ran"
The directory: D:SQLServerResults

Firstly may I say that the sproc I am having problems with and the service that calls it is inherited technical debt from an unsupervised contractor. We are not able to go through a rewriting process at the moment so need to live with this if possible.
Background
We have a service written in c# that is processing packages of xml that contain up to 100 elements of goods consignment data. In amongst that element is an identifier for each consignment. This is nvarchar(22) in our table. I have not observed any IDs that are different in length in the XML element.
The service picks up these packages from MSMQ, extracts the data using XPATH and passes the ID into the SPROC in question. This searches for the ID in one of our tables and returns a bool to the service indicating whether it was found or not. If found then we add a new row to another table. If not found then it ignores and continues processing.
Observations
The service seems to be dealing with a top end of around 10 messages a minute... so a max of about 1000 calls to the SPROC per minute. Multi-threading has been used to process these packages but as I am assured, sprocs are threadsafe. It is completing the calls without issue but intermittently it will return FALSE. For these IDs I am observing that they exist on the table mostly (there are the odd exceptions where they are legitimately missing). e.g Yesterday I was watching the logs and on seeing a message saying that an ID had not been found I checked the database and could see that the ID had been entered a day earlier according to an Entered Timestamp.
So the Sproc...
USE [xxxxxxxxxx]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
[Code]....
So on occasions (about 0.33% of the time) it is failing to get a bit 1 setting in @bFound after the SELECT TOP(1).
The only suggestions I can make have been...
change @pIdentifier nvarchar(25) to nvarchar(22)
Trim any potential blanks from either side of both parts of the identifier comparison
Change the SELECT TOP(1) to an EXISTS
The only other thought is the two way parameter direction in the C# for the result OUTPUT. Not sure why he did it that way or what the purpose is.
I have been unable to replicate this using a test app and our test databases. Has observed selects failing to find even though the data is there, like this before?

I have a query that joins two large partitioned tables and depending on the values in the where clause, I can get dramatically different performance results.
The first query completed in around 7s and has 47,000 logical reads.
select mo.monitor_id,
mo.site_id,
mo.testtime,
sum(mo.NumBytes),
sum(mo.DNSTime),
sum(mo.ConnectTime),
sum(mo.FirstByteTime),
sum(mo.ContentTime),
sum(mo.RelocTime)
from monitor_raw mr(nolock), monitor_object mo(nolock)
where mr.monitor_id in (5339, 5341, 5342, 943842, 943866)
and mr.testtime between 'Oct 31 2007 3:00:00:000PM' and 'Nov 30 2007 3:00:00:000PM'
and mo.returncode = 200
and mr.site_id in (101,102,105,109,110,112,115,117,119,122,126,151,132,139,129,135,121,138,143,142,159,148,128,171,176,177,178,111,113,116,118,120,127,133,131,130,174,179,185,205,200,202,203,204,210,211,208,209,212,213,216,199,214,224,225,229,230,232,235,241,245,247,250,254,261,267,264,265,266,268,269)
and mr.escalationlevel = 0
and mr.monitor_id = mo.monitor_id
and mr.testtime = mo.testtime
and mr.site_id = mo.site_id group by mo.monitor_id, mo.site_id, mo.testtime
The second query takes 188s to complete and has 1.8m logical reads. The only difference between the two is the value of the monitor_ids in the where clause.
select mo.monitor_id,
mo.site_id,
mo.testtime,
sum(mo.NumBytes),
sum(mo.DNSTime),
sum(mo.ConnectTime),
sum(mo.FirstByteTime),
sum(mo.ContentTime),
sum(mo.RelocTime)
from monitor_raw mr(nolock), monitor_object mo(nolock)
where mr.monitor_id in (152682, 5339, 5341, 5342, 268080)
and mr.testtime between 'Oct 31 2007 3:00:00:000PM' and 'Nov 30 2007 3:00:00:000PM'
and mo.returncode = 200
and mr.site_id in (101,102,105,109,110,112,115,117,119,122,126,151,132,139,129,135,121,138,143,142,159,148,128,171,176,177,178,111,113,116,118,120,127,133,131,130,174,179,185,205,200,202,203,204,210,211,208,209,212,213,216,199,214,224,225,229,230,232,235,241,245,247,250,254,261,267,264,265,266,268,269)
and mr.escalationlevel = 0
and mr.monitor_id = mo.monitor_id
and mr.testtime = mo.testtime
and mr.site_id = mo.site_id group by mo.monitor_id, mo.site_id, mo.testtime
The two tables have clustered indexes on monitor_id, testtime and site_id. Comparing the execution plan, I can see why there is such a difference in performance. The second query performs a clustered index seek on the monitor_object table starting at the lowest monitor_id, testtime & site_id through the highest monitor_id, testtime & site_id. The first query performs a clustered index seek where the monitor_id, testtime and site_id equals the same values from the monitor_raw table.
My question is, how can I force the second query to use the same execution plan as the first so that I can get better performance?
One possible workaround that I could use is to execute five individual queries, one for each monitor_id and then union the results together but this would require significant code changes to my stored procs.
Thanks,
Tim

I am getting inconsistent results when BULK INSERTING data from a tab-delimited text file. As part of my testing, I run the same code on the same file again and again, and I get different results every time! I get this on SQL 2005 and SQL 2012 R2.We have an application that imports data from a spreadsheet. The sheet contains section headers with account numbers and detail rows with transactions by date:
AAAA.1234 /* (account number)*/
1/1/2015 $150 First Transaction
1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Transaction
BBBB.5678
1/1/2015 $350 Third Transaction
1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Transaction
My Import program saves this spreadsheet at tab-delimited text, then I use BULK INSERT to bring the data into a generic table full of varchar(255) fields. There are about 90,000 rows in each day's data; after the BULK INSERT about half of them are removed for various reasons. Next I add a RowID column to the table with the IDENTITY (1,1) property. This gives my raw data unique row numbers.
I then run a routine that converts and copies those records into another holding table that's a copy of the final destination table. That routine parses though the data, assigning the account number in the section header to each detail row. It ends up looking like this:
AAAA.1234 1/1/2015 $150 First Purchase
AAAA.1234 1/3/2015 $24.233 Second Purchase
BBBB.5678 1/1/2015 $350 Third Purchase
BBBB.5678 1/3/2015 $24.233 Fourth Purchase
My technique: I use a cursor to get the starting RowID for each Account Number: I then use the upper and lower RowIDs to do an INSERT into the final table. The query looks like this:
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber
FROM GenericTable
WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
Results look like this:
But every time I run the routine, I get different numbers! my results are not accurate. I get inconsistent results EVERY TIME.Here is my code, with table, field and account names changed for business confidentiality.This is a high profile project at my company;
TRUNCATE TABLE GenericImportTable;
ALTER TABLE GenericImportTable DROP COLUMN RowID;
BULK INSERT GenericImportTable FROM 'SERVERGeneralAppnameDataFile.2015.05.04.tab.txt'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ', ROWTERMINATOR = '
', FIRSTROW = 6)
[code]...

I'm trying to go deeper into SQL Server's XML support. When looking at a recent forum post, I got curious to see if I could achieve the same result with XPath and FLOWR. Here's the data I'm working with:
create table #data (myXMLData xml)
insert into #data(myXMLData) values (
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<order>
<Product Index="e1e2c499-f9...etc...." ProductID="12" >
<Attribute Name="Paper...etc..." />
[Code] ....
Here's the working XPath query and results:
select data.mynodes.value('@Name', 'varchar(50)') Name
from #data
cross apply myXMLData.nodes('/order/Product/Drops/Drop[@Number="1"]/Area') data(mynodes)
Results:
Name
43001PBOX
[Code] .....
Here's my first attempt at a FLWOR expression. Note that doesn't produce the same results.
select myXmlData.query('
for $drop in /order/Product/Drops/Drop
for $Name in $drop/Area/@Name
where $drop/@Number=1
return data($Name)
')
from #data
Results:
43001PBOX 43001R001 43001R002 43023PBOX 43023R001 43023R002 43031PBOX 43031R001
How to build a FLOWR-based query that produces the same result as the pure XPath one?

difference between
SELECT ROUND ('6.465',2) --- result 6.46
and
SELECT ROUND (6.465,2) --- result 6.47
with
It's because you're relying on an implicit conversion from a string to a decimal data type which SQL server will do to 2 decimal places by default...
Alright:
SELECT ROUND (CONVERT(DECIMAL(3,2),'6.465'),2) --- result 6.47 Now please explain this:
SELECT ROUND('0.285',2) -- 0.28
SELECT ROUND(0.285,2) -- 0.29
SELECT ROUND (CONVERT(DECIMAL(3,2),'0.285'),2) --- result 0.29 The string value does not seem to be converted to decimal with 2 decimal places.
MS is on the safe side with mentioning the last digit is always an estimate But because the result of the estimate is always the same, I would like to know:
* how is a string value exactly implicitly converted?
* how exactly does the estimation work, that in case of doubt rounds a value up or off?

I have a table with Month , Year as varchar. I realized it was a big mistake. Since its getting too complicated to query this way.
Year Month Productname
2013 11 ACB
2013 11 CDE
I would now like to add another column called date and store these Year Month as a date to my existing table
Year Month ProductName Date
2013 11 ACB 2013-11-01
2013 11 CDE 2013-11-01
Is there a way I can do it for all the columns of the existing table ??

I am working on a code that will convert the query output into a html query output. That is the output of the query will be along with html tags so that we can save it as a html file.
The stored procedure that i have used is downloaded from symantec website and is working fine. Below is the code of that stored procedure.
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] Script Date: 12/21/2011 09:04:30 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] (
@TABLENAME NVARCHAR(500),
@OUTPUT NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT,
[Code] ....
The code works fine and i am able to get the output with html tags. The problem occurs when i insert stylesheet in the code. I tried to enforce styles using a stylesheet for the table returned in my sql code, so that it will look good. below is the stylesheet code that i inserted between <head> and </head> tags.
<style type="text/css">table.gridtable { font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#333333;border-width:1px; border-color: #666666; border-collapse: collapse; } table.gridtable td {border-width: 1px; padding: 8px; border-style: solid; border-color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff;}</style>
If I run the procedure without the style sheet code, it works fine. but when i run the procedure with style sheet code i am getting the below errors.
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 98
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '</table></body><'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 98
Incorrect syntax near '</table></body><'.
[Code] .....
I checked the code and i am not able to find what is the mistake. I tried changing the quotation mark but it didn't worked.

I have created a view thats pulling data from two different tables to combine them into one report.
table 1 lists the client code and table 2 lists the client partner and they're linked by a variable.
When running the report the result shows the client codes with their respective partner however any client codes that didn't have a partner are not displaying in the report and I need all client codes to be displayed even if there's no partner.
Is there a way I can make this display all results and if the client partner doesn't exist for it to still display as 'Null' for the partner but still display the client code?
Script:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT C.cltCode AS ClientCode, C.cltSortName AS SortName, C.cltTerminationDate AS [Term date], dbo.vcltAttrib6.ainTVal AS Department,
C.objInstID AS ClientID
FROM dbo.cdbClient AS C INNER JOIN
dbo.vcltAttrib6 ON C.objInstID = dbo.vcltAttrib6.ainObjectInstID
GROUP BY C.cltSortName, C.cltTerminationDate, dbo.vcltAttrib6.ainTVal, C.objInstID, C.cltCode
ORDER BY ClientID

I have a simple example of what I am trying to do. Here is some code to make a quick table to demonstrate:
create table #students
(
lastname varchar(50)
,firstname varchar(50)
,address1 varchar(50)
[Code].....
I want to select all the records, and them them be in alphabetical order first by lastname, then by firstname, then by address. HOWEVER, and this is the tricky part, I want to group names together that have the same address. So, in this example, I want the results to be in this order:
HallC6309 N Olive
HallP6309 N Olive <---- grouped with the C record because they have the same address
HallE5488 W Catalina <---- back to alphabetical by first name
HallJ7222 N Cocopas

I have a large excel spreadsheet created by finance user that contains several decades worth of sales data.
Here is a small sample:
Guest Count
Unit ID1/2/2011 1/9/2011
3 0
7 0
8 0
90 0
151696 1202
222769 1914
232704 2110
250 0
282838 1882
331089 691
363581 3064
371469 1062
I need to get this data into an SQL table in the following form so I can use it to further manipulate the data and update several other tables. I am thinking that UNPIVOT or CROSS APPLY might be the way to go, but am not sure how to code it.
The desired output:
Unit IDDate Guest Count
31/2/2011 NULL
71/2/2011 NULL
81/2/2011 NULL
91/2/2011 0
151/2/2011 1696
and so on ......
The spreadsheet has 2900 columns and 3500 rows so performance is definitely a consideration as well.

Am converting varchar field to float and summing using group by and next inserting to varchar field(table).
while inserting float value it is converting to exponential ex:1.04177e+006 but if i execute only select statment actual float value will get display ex:1041765.726
My question is why it is converting while inserting ? and how to avoid it.
select query : SUM(CONVERT(float,(rtrim(REPLACE(REPLACE( column1, CHAR(13), ' '), CHAR(10), ' '))))) as AggregateValue

I have a view I've created which displays client sortname, partner and date added which displays 7 results.
When I add another table to this view to display the Industry it then only gives me 4 results as the other 3 results have no Industry instead of giving me the 7 results and showing the Industry column as empty for the other 3.
Is there a way I can make it show all 7 results and havethe column where the industry is empty display the other results instead of not displaying any results at all for them?
Script:
SELECT dbo.cdbClient.cltSortName AS ClientName, dbo.vcltAttrib4.ainTVal AS ClientPartner, dbo.vcltAttrib422.ainDVal AS [Date Added],
dbo.cdbAttribInst.ainTVal AS Inudstry
FROM dbo.cdbClient LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.cdbObject ON dbo.cdbClient.cltCategoryID = dbo.cdbObject.objID LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Code] ....
In the above script the cbdAttribInst table has the Industry column I need which is 'ainTVal'...
