I am adding this to my c#.Net app...
How can I sort all rows in a table?
After it is sorted, will it remain so after i do a cnSQL.Close();
so that when I then do a:
string strSQL = "SELECT InvoiceNumber " +
"FROM tblPrintInvoice " ;
Is it still sorted for me to do a:
drSQL.Read?
Thanks,

Hi all,We recently upsized two Microsoft Access Databases to SQL. We'reusing an ADP (2002) as the front end.All the conversion issues have been resolved, except for one:Whenever we insert a record into a table, the table isn't sorted byprimary key like I would expect. Instead, the record can be found atthe end of the table. This makes finding a particular record(especially as time goes on) very difficult.I've tried eliminating all indexes except for the primary key, andalso writing AFTER INSERT triggers, but the table still does not sortcorrectly.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Matt

Is there a way to re sort data in a table? based on ID.
The
SORT TABLE tlb_Name ON ID Asc
is not working?
Thank you very much.
I have quite a long SP which is made up of various tables, temp tables, etc.
I am creating 11 physical tables which i am using to create a DTS package to auto output to an excel spreadsheet (template for a report).
The problem is although i have used ORDER BY statements to sort the data in ascending order the data isnt sorted.
Heres an example of one of the table outputs
--Create Table of Managers
DELETE FROM Weekly_Term_Code_Output7
INSERT INTOWeekly_Term_Code_Output7
SELECT #Temp_Agent.Manager
FROM #temp5 INNER JOIN
#Temp_Agent ON #temp5.agent_login = #Temp_Agent.agent_login
WHERE (NOT (#Temp_Agent.Manager IS NULL))
GROUP BY #Temp_Agent.Manager
ORDER BY #Temp_Agent.Manager
ive also tried placing an order by statement in the output to excel in the DTS package but this also doesnt work?
Any ideas anyone??
I am trying to set sorting up on a DataGrid in ASP.NET 2.0. I have it working so that when you click on the column header, it sorts by that column, what I would like to do is set it up so that when you click the column header again it sorts on that field again, but in the opposite direction. I have it working using the following code in the stored procedure: CASE WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'ASC' then Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, Convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end ASC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end DESC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end ASC And I gotta tell you, that is ugly code, in my opinion. What I am trying to do is something like this: case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' then FileName end,
case when @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' then FileDataID end,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' then FileDesc
when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' then VersionNotes
end
case when @SortOrder = 'DESC' then DESC
when @SortOrder = 'ASC' then ASC
end and it's not working at all, i get an error saying: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'case' when i put a comma after the end on line 5 i get: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DESC' What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help -Madrak
Hi,
We have developped an ETL. For development we used small test files (10 000 rows) to test if it works correctly.
This runs in less then a minute
In Test we are using a file which contains all rows (7 million). We did twice a test and we first stopped the process after a week and the 2nd time we stopped the process after a weekend.
We are able to trace the problem to the point where it has to sort the tables.
The proces is pretty simple. We use two connectors to directly connect to the tables.
Then we have two blocks to sort the data. And then we have one block to merge the data.
Should we which to let SQL do the sorting ? Since it is in staging is has no index on that column. A select on the tables with an order by takes 3 minutes to return all those rows.
Any idea's ?
Also is there a page with the best practices for ETL ?

I have a table report that lists the prior 12 months of sales data. I'd like the report to display in reverse order from current month back. When I sort decedning by month it puts the months in reverse alphabetic order. How can I sort by numeric order?
Thanks.
I have a "Sales shipments" report with several colums. I want a parameter for the user so he choose how to sort. I have two colums in my report I want to sort on: ItemNumber and DeliveryDate.
I added a Report Parameter UserSort with two labels (and values): Item (ItemNumer) and Date (DeliveryDate).
Then I tried to set the sorting
can any one help me to sort a table on the basis of one colomn without using ORDER BY Desc.

hello
i am currently trying to port a "Business Objects" report to SQL Server Reporting Services.
in B.O., there is a possibility to define the order of the table values by previewing the table values and moving them up or down.
Example : the dataset contains data for 3 items, so in the Custom Sort window, I will see these 3 items and I can order them by moving them up or down in a listbox.
is this possible to do in Reporting Services ?
I'm trying out the interactive sort feature (and have searched high and low for this answer), but can not make the sorting work if I have the data in the table grouped. If I remove the group, the sorting works fine but the output is not acceptable due to the duplicated records in the list.
Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Hi all,
Is there a way i can write a script that will sort the column names of my table?

Address
City
Country
First_Name

Is there a way to change the order that "select * from #table" returns data? It doesn't appear to return data in the same order that it was inserted into the table. This wasn't a problem with the same code in SQL Server 2005.

I have a table with a RowNumber Group which shows 10 rows in each page.
it works fine.
in the next step i put an Interactive sorting on one column.
i expect that the sorting is on the table no regarding the presentation which shows only 10 rows.
in reality what happens is that the table was sorted seperated for each part of the 10 rows table,
and no for the whole table.
does any one have a suggestion how to force the Interactive Sort , sorting he Whole table first
and only later to present 10 rows each page (use the group expression)

I have a data load process that reads data from flat file into a Stage table in sql server. The order of the records in the stage table is exactly same as the order in the flat file. The identity column on the Stage table (which is also the clustered index) represents the exact line/row number of the data in the filat file. I perform some transformations on the data in the stage table and then insert it into a cumulative table which has a clustered index on an identity column again. When I do this, does the order of the data in the cumulative table be in the same order as the data in the stage table? Anyone, please let me know if I can rely on SQL server to maintain the same order or I will be forcing a sort order on the Identity column (clustered index) of the stage table when I insert the data into a cumulative table.
Thanks in advance!!

As you can see, the Location, Start and End dates can vary for each person and I don't know how many rows a single person might have.
The result I want, is a "pivot like" table.

Location2

End2
Location3

I assume I can first do a count of the maximum rows for an individual and that is greatest number of columns I would need. But doing that and trying to figure out the rest has really stumped me.
Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How to sort table in sql2000 with ipaddress(format x.x.x.x) as column with nvarchar datatype in ascending order
without using stored procedure
Ex:
Table: netComputers(3 rows)
Column Name: ipAddress (string data type)
ipAddress
0.0.18.1
0.1.1.2
0.0.0.1
Sql query : if I use the query
Select ipAddress from netComputers order by cast( replace(ipaddress,'.','') as numeric(12)) asc
Gives result as :
ipAddress
0.0.0.1
0.1.1.2
0.0.18.1
Where as expected result should be:
ipAddress
0.0.0.1
0.0.18.1
0.1.1.2
I have a problem with getting SSRS to do exactly what I want it to do. My report is fairly simple in that it is a header a detail row and a footer for totals. I have an Oracle stored procedure pass the table of information to SSRS and no matter how I pass the information I cannot get SSRS to do what I want it to do. Heres the problem.
Lets say I have 3 pieces of information. The customers name, customers SSN, and their Institution. For every customer the name and SSN will stay the same but each customer can belong to multiple institutions. So, I wanted to have a basic table display their name, their SSN and their Institution on one row and if they belong to more than 1 institution the following institutions will be displayed on the following rows.
I've tried grouping by SSN but that just only displays the SSN once and only the first institution in that group and ignores showing the other institutions. I've also tried grouping the SSN and name in the group header and then played around with putting the Institutions in the details but I cant get that first Institution to appear on the first row with the Name and SSN.
I'm at a loss here and this seems like it should be a simple solution but I cant figure it out. I'm know there must be a way because this is a really basic fundamental that I'm trying to accomplish and is probably used in many reports.
Hope someone can help me.

i realize this is a basic question, but i'd like advise on the best way to create a table to store financial time series data. i already have a table to store securityid which is the primary key. However, when i move over to the table to store time series, i will have many secid as well as different dates and types of data. what should my primary key-autonumbered or concatenated from secid and date etc...in addition, i want to have a good way to query the table to make sure there are no dupes (same secid and same data etc). many thanks

greets all, ive got a table with batches of records. each group of records has a batch id as part of the PK in the form BTCXXXX where XXXX is an auto-incremented number. so lets say i have 100 batches of 20k records per batch in the table. so the distinct batch ids are BTC0200 (oldest batch) through BTC0300 (newest batch).
i only want to keep the 90 most recent batches in the table at any given time.
is it ok to just subtract 90 from the last batch id and do something like:
DECLARE @batch_id char(10)
SET @batch_id = 'BTC' + batch_num-90
DELETE FROM ITEM_BATCH
WHERE BATCH_ID < @batch_id
i want to cover if the table has more than 90 batches and if the table has less then 90 batches. is this a feasible approach?
I am trying to build a simple time table and pre-populate the rows for lets say 1 year. Basically, I will be extracting the data froma source based on the boundaries of this table. eg of this table as I can visualize:
Date StartTime Endtime IsProcessed
2014-06-17 2014-06-17 00:00:00 2014-06-17 01:00:00 0
2014-06-17 2014-06-17 01:00:00 2014-06-17 02:00:00 0
2014-06-17 2014-06-17 02:00:00 2014-06-17 03:00:00 0
Lets call this TimeTable and we have our souce and destination table..The ETL process will pick the start time and endtime, will pass these as parameters to the source and extract the data as follows:
Insert into Destination
select * from source where entrydate>=TimeTable.StartTime and entrydate<TimeTable.EndTime
Once this data gets loaded, the IsProcessed field is set to 1 so that next time it won't be considered.I am trying an incremental load process here.
I have a database with three tablestbl_listings - listings of houses on for saletbl_intersted - table which tracks if a user is interested in thelisting, it has two columns mls(the key for tbl_listings) and user(userlogin)tbl_review - table which trackes if a user has reviewed the listing.Like tbl_interested it has two columns (the key for tbl_listings) anduser(user login)How can I create a query on tbl_listings for reocords reviewed by oneuser?I am trying to create a query for listings that are revied by useruserid.

...but apparently not me, I'm very new with this T-SQL stuff and am seeking the advice of the seasoned pros at this forum.
Description on my SQL-5 Environment:
Table I Sales: Prod_ID, Prod_DT, Sales_DT, Buyer_Name, Buyer_State
Table II Repairs: Prod_ID, Prod_DT, Sales_DT, Repair_DT
These 2 tables are joined by the common key Prod_ID & also and share the product's production & sales dates. What I would like to do is produce a rate summary similar to description below.
Production_YYYY, Production_MM, Sales_Cnt, Repairs_Cnt, Repair_Rate((Repairs_CNT/Sales_CNT)*100)
Important to remember that not all products experience repairs, so the basis for Sales_CNT needs to be the Sales Table, even thou Prod_DT also appears in Repairs Table.
It's simple enough for novice like me to produce 2 tables independently and then merge back those resulting tables into the single table output described above. But my question is how do I write a single SQL "SELECT" request that will produce the results into just a single table.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Guys,I have the following query: SELECT DecisionSessionID, RuleID, Operator1, Criteria1, AttributeForCriteria1, Operator2, Criteria2, AttributeForCriteria2, Operator3, Criteria3,
AttributeForCriteria3, Result
FROM myTable
WHERE (SessionID = @SessionID) Now I want that instead of the complicated Criteria1, Crieria 2 and Criteria 3 values the users sees the names whichare defined in myCriteria. I though the query might then look like this SELECT
DecisionSessionID,
RuleID,
Operator1,
Criteria1 (SELECT CriteriaName FROM myCriteria WHERE Criteria1 = CriteriaID),
AttributeForCriteria1,
Operator2,
Criteria2 (SELECT CriteriaName FROM myCriteria WHERE Criteria2 = CriteriaID).
AttributeForCriteria2,
Operator3,
Criteria3 (SELECT CriteriaName FROM myCriteria WHERE Criteria3 = CriteriaID),
AttributeForCriteria3,
Result
FROM dbo.aspnet_FuzzyRules
WHERE (DecisionSessionID = @DecisionSessionID) I am not very familiar with the sql syntax and as you can imagine the above psyeudo version is not really working.Do you know how the correct syntax for such a nested query would look like?many thanks,polynaux

Hi -
This is a newbie question. For some reason when I view the contents of tables I have created on my SQL Server (version 7) database, the sort buttons in the "Data in Table" window are grayed out.
Do I need more permissions? How do I fix this?
Thanks.
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.
