Hi
Please help! I'm really stuck. I have a table (AssessorAllocations) that stores the data of students who have submitted assessments for marking by an Assessor. Each time an assessment is submitted by a student my program must determine which Assessor has the smallest workload and then assign the current assessment to that Assessor. My problem is how do I determine which Assessor has the smallest number of assessments assigned to him/her.
The table columns are:
AssessorRegistrationNo
LearnerRegistrationNo
QualficationName
SubjectName
AssessmentName
DateAssigned
Marked
DateMarked
Price
So I'm looking for something like this:
Select AssessorRegistrationNo from AssessorAllocations where {Select the Assessor who has the smallest number of AssessmentNames assigned to him/her where Marked='0' and DateAssigned<>''}
Thanks

Greetings
I was tring to cast an xml document using varchar(max) but it chops it off at excatly 9643 when I do SELECT @varcharProductionBody = CAST(@xmlProductionBody AS VARCHAR(MAX))
PRINT LEN(@varcharProductionBody)
So what is the largest data type for string and/or characters in SQL 2005? I have looked high and low but am unable to find one.
Thanks
I usually go for the largest datafile and then query in-there...But now I need to automate it for several instances... I need to be able with one script quickly retrieve the top 5 largest tables for the entire instance,not by database...

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!!
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.
I have met up a problem. How to i get the second smallest value instead of the smallest value in a table using min(). Any other function rather than min()?

I have a table with the following variables:
patid cddate nadcd4
Patients (patid) have multiple records. I am trying to find the lowest nadcd4 for each patient along with the associated cddate. I can do a min(nadcd4) and find the lowest nadcd4 by patid but I can't seem to get the associated cddate. Any suggestions? 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 an easier way to determine which tables in a db are the largest other than running sp_spaceused for each table? Interested mainly in physical size.
Thanks
Hi,
I want to know the top 20 largest tables in my database, by the size NOT by the number of rows. Can anyone give me a query which does it for me?
Thanks in advance,

How do i select first name of the lets say 6th highest salary of an employee?
is it use Select TOP statement?
p/s: I just want the 6th largest fname not the top 6. so it will only return one value.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
I am trying to retrieve all rows with the largest value in a particular column. The largest value could return many rows for a particular users. Here is what I have thus far.
SELECT DISTINCT
ID, NAME, FOP, ACCT, CTNUM, ENDDATE, DEBIT, CREDIT, TRANSACTION_DATE, EXPORTED, CALENDAR_YEAR, FISCAL_YEAR, PAYROLL_IDENTIFIER,
PAYROLL_NUMBER, [EARN-SEQNO], EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
FROM (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID, ACCT, PAYROLL_NUMBER,EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
ORDER BY EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER DESC) AS RN
FROM PAYROLLYEAREND ) s
WHERE RN = 1 AND ID = '16443' AND PAYROLL_NUMBER ='7'
In the above example, the EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is populated with values from 0 to 12. Could vary per user and PAYROLL_NUMBER. The query above returns 48 rows. However, all I want are the rows where EVENT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER is equal to the highest, which is in the above example is 12. The result would be 29 rows. The where clause is not part of overall query. Just isolating on one ID.
Hello,
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

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
Example data
CA1000
CA10001
CA10002
CA10003
CA11597
CA11603
CA1001
CA998
CA999
As you can see, CA11603 is the largest number in this list.
When I try the follow sql code,
SELECT
MAX([MyCode])
FROM
[MyTable]
WHERE (SUBSTRING([MyCode], 1, 2) = 'CA')
The largest number comes back as CA997
When I try
MAX([MyCode])
FROM
[MyTable]
WHERE [MyCode] LIKE 'CA%'
The largest number comes back as CA997
SELECT
TOP 1 (SchoolMasterCode)
FROM
SchoolMaster
WHERE (SUBSTRING(SchoolMasterCode, 1, 2) = 'CA') ORDER BY Schoolmastercode
The largest comes back as CA10001
When I try....
SELECT
TOP 1 (SchoolMasterCode)
FROM
SchoolMaster
WHERE (SUBSTRING(SchoolMasterCode, 1, 2) = 'CA')
The largest comes back as CA1278
What am I doing wrong?
I would like to determine the largest numeric datatype scale of a column.
Decimal Largest Scale Solution found here.
Sample Data:

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?
