Setup And Upgrade :: Clarification On Non-integer Constants Are Not Allowed In ORDER BY Clause In 90
May 15, 2015
We're upgrading our SQL Server database from 2005 to 2012.I ran the Upgrade Advisory report and got this issue "Non-integer constants are not allowed in the ORDER BY clause in 90" because of the script below
SELECT
gp.BRAND+' <> '+gp.CATEGORY AS 'full name',
gp.PRODCODE,
gp.CATEGORY
FROM dbo.GFK_PRODUCT gp
ORDER BY
'full name'
I tried running the same query in our test SQL Server 2012 and it ran successfully. Now I'm confuse if i still need to change it.I google the issue a bit and came across this link and mentioned this.
1.) Non-integer constants are ... constants that are not integer number.
Example: 'string1' represents
a string constant
0x01 represents
a varbinary constant
{ts
'2015-02-26 06:00:00'} represents a datetime constant
1.23 represents
a numeric constants
2) So single quotes are used to define a string constants / character string constants but SQL Server allows also to use single quotation marks use also as column identifier
delimiter:
SELECT ... expression AS 'Column1'
FROM ...
In this context is clear that 'Column1' is a column identifier but when used in ORDER BY : ORDER BY 'Column1' it generates confusion because SQL Server doesn't knows if it represents a string literal (character string constant) or it represents a column identifier / column name."Do I still need to change the existing code even though it's working fine in 2012? If yes, it is because of best practice reason or it will total get deprecated/not working in the future version?
hi all, when I try to do the following insert for the table test
create table test (outputs character(10), chk integer)
insert into test values('a',((select count(*) from test where outputs='a')+1))
I am getting the error The name 'outputs' is illegal in this context. Only constants, constant expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are illegal.
when i tried the same in DB2 it's working fine. is there anyerror in my syntax or this kind of function not allowed in SQL Server.
We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.
I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1 MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2 IN DNS: A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1 A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
One of my actual production environments is a Failover two-node cluster, SQL Server 2005 SP3 on Windows Server 2003 R2. Recently, the node 2 was failed, so I formatted a new machine to add the new node, but it failed with the following error: “Adding nodes to the Virtual Server definition using a newer version of Setup is not allowed.”I have searching across the web for a solution but I can’t find it.
The Summary file “Summary.txt” are: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06 OS Version : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 3790) Time : Thu Jun 04 13:04:38 2015
[code]....
One point of my attention, it’s that the Product Version that appears on this summary file corresponding a 9.00.1399.06 that is to say, a RTM version, not SP3 (9.00.4035).Based on this, I went to the path where the files of installation are (ARPWrapper.exe), "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup Bootstrap"and I 've found that these files contain a different version of what I have currently installed. For example, in properties of ARPWrapper.exe the version of this is 2005.90.1399.0 The same goes for the rest of the files in that folder:
Is it possible that the solution is to replace these files with the corresponding version, in this case the version 2005.90.4035.0(SP3) and continue with the installation?
When I use the following SQL with the variable @CutOFFTID the second select statement query takes several minutes. If i run it replacing the value in the where clause with the acutal value of the variable it runs instantly.
DECLARE @CutOffTid int SELECT @CutOffTid = isnull(max(ccas_id),0) FROMdbo.fbs_trans (NOLOCK) print 'Cut Off ID is ' + cast(@CutOffTid as char)
DECLARE @MinPeriod int SELECT @MinPeriod = Min(period) FROM agr.dbo.atrans WHERE agrtid >@CutOffTid
I have created view by jaoining two table and have order by clause.
The sql generated is as follows
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.UWYearDetail.*, dbo.UWYearGroup.* FROM dbo.UWYearDetail INNER JOIN dbo.UWYearGroup ON dbo.UWYearDetail.UWYearGroupId = dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYearGroupId ORDER BY dbo.UWYearDetail.PlanVersionId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWFinancialPlanSegmentId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYear, dbo.UWYearGroup.MandDFlag, dbo.UWYearGroup.EarningsMethod, dbo.UWYearGroup.EffectiveMonth
If I run sql the results are displayed in proper order but the view only order by first item in order by clause.
Has somebody experience same thing? How to fix this issue?
insert into test_sort values('Non-A'); insert into test_sort values('Non-O'); insert into test_sort values('Noni'); insert into test_sort values('Nons');
then execute the following selects: select * from test_sort order by cast( 1 as nvarchar(75));
select * from test_sort order by cast( description as nvarchar(75));
Hi, I was trying to run an insert statement which has subquery, But it is returning the error like this.. Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed. -------------- Is there a way to reparse the insert statement without have to assign the subquery to a temp value and insert it? thanks.. Here is my SQL.. insert into admincriteria values (nextID,(select id from nodetable where description like 'Example - Quality Analytics'),8071,2,'Failures by Customer',2,0,0)
The ORDER BY clause can include items that do not appear in the select list. However, if SELECT DISTINCT is specified, or if the statement contains a GROUP BY clause, or if the SELECT statement contains a UNION operator, the sort columns must appear in the select list.
If I use the order by clause to sort on a date, where the date andtime stamp are the exact same for multiple records, how does SQLoutput the data?At random... or does it look at the primary key?
I am getting the error: "Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable."I tried the solution posted on the Microsoft support page involving a command prompt and the mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%Microsoft SQL Server<var class="sbody-var"> numbe r</var>Sharedsqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"...This still does not fix the problem, the result of running the above is: Parsing MOF file: C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server110Sharedsqlmgmp roviderxpsp2up.mof...MOF file has been successfully parsed...Storing data in the repository..An error occurred while processing item 1 defined on lines 4 - 7 in file C:Prog
Is there way to completely re-install the Configuration Manager? One post suggested the Access denied was Administrator rights but I have full Administrative rights to everything so I don't see that being the problem.
So, I just downloaded and installed Windows 8 and SQL Server 2014 Developer. I used to have Visual Studio, that seems to be gone now. Can't find it. I can't figure out a way to get to SSIS or SSAS.
I noticed accidentally today on my PATH and discovered that I have several variables for different sql versions. I can understand this as I have upgraded from 2008, to 2012 then 2014. Here are the list of variables
when i install sql server 2005 in cluster. I have error at Setup process screen --> the selected components are being configured.all the components are failed.I am using domain account with administrator account privilege on both server.OS : windows server 2008 on virtual machine..when i install sql server agent is enable to select during setup..
I am using windows 8 and I have only one user in laptop. While installing SQL 2014, I am getting an error (Missing System Administrator). Under SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Database I have select the system user and gave the password but still I am getting the error.
I'm trying to do a SQL 2008 cluster installation.I installed one node and now I'm trying to add a failover cluster node.in the "add Node Rules" I get following message:
Rule Check Result...Rule "SQL Server Database Services feature state" failed.The SQL Server Database Services feature failed when it was initially installed. The feature must be removed before the current scenario can proceed.
If I close SSMS, it restarts itself as if it crashed and trying to restore itself. Even if I hit cancel as it's restarting, it will restart itself yet again. This happens twice. what's causing this?
I am getting this error "Index was outside the bounds of the array. (Microsoft.SQLServer.Smo)"..I have downloaded a hotfix, but when I tried running the patch, I was told the expected version is 10.2.4000.0, I am running 10.0.1600.22.I can not locate the correct patch for my version.

We setup a new Shared SQL server 2014 Web and transferred all SQL databases over. However when customers connect via SQL Management Studio they now get VIEW STATE error when right clicking on any table on any database.
