Hi, I have a table whose Identifying column is not an integer but rather a manually entered id. (i.e. 106F, 106-09, G11 etc.) When sorted ascending, a G11 will come before a G2 in the list, 106-11 before 106-2, etc.I would like to insert a new column in the database or use some kind of function when sorting the database to ensure that the list in returned in the proper order. Any ideas?Much appreciated...

Hello
I know how I can display a list of names in alphebetical order on my website:
Select L as [Last Name]
From Name_CatEWhere Education = 'yes'Order ByLName ASC
However, to make things a little more orginised I would like to view my database table column in alphabetical order also, but ithie code does not work within my database.
What do I need to change in the following code, to view my database table column in a-z order?
SELECT LName FROM Name_CatEORDER BY LName ASC
Thanks

i am working on a small project, that I have found that someone is storing a float as a varchar(). But there are also some actual words in the same column.
I am trying to determine how I can select only the rows with alphabetical characters in that column.
Some of the data is:
1.5008e+015
1.54453e+015
1.51922e+015
1.51922e+015
1.52243e+015
but there is a mix of alphabetical characters in there as well.
1.51922e+015
1.53122e+015
FMCIT
ABCNP
FMCPNG
1.62073e+015
1.6127e+015
I want to be able to select the rows with only the alphabetical characters. There is a huge mix, and I am assuming that every first letter is one of the 26 alphabetical character used. How can I write a query to use a REGEX to select any and all rows that cannot be CAST as a Float? I have nill to no experience using REGEX.

I am trying to sort this simplied table:
ID - Time
1 2000-2001
2 2002-
3 2001-2003
4 1999
5 2005-2006
I want this as a result:
1999
2000-2001
2001-2003
2005-2006
2002-
Because the "-" means "continues", it the thing is still activated, so if it makes it easier, i could put the today's year afterwards during the query, if it ends with a - ...
Now, simply doing a
SELECT * FROM [table] ORDER BY TIME;
Sorts it "perfectly", apart from the "2002-" is just placed before 2005 and after 2001.
So, of course, it fails on all entries with a leading "-" ...
Right when I clicked "submit", of course, I can simply replace all entries with a time ending with "-", with the todays Year, so at least they will get at the end of the query...
Well, have to do a union, first sorting all without the "-", then sorting all with the "-", and that should be it...

In SQL 2000, when you generated an SQL script for a database, it was logical and the tables in the script were in alphabetical order. In SQL 2005 they are all mixed up. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Using the scripting wizard in SQL Server 2005 database engine, I have been able to script all my DDL out to a flat file which is great; however, when I scripts for instance all views I would like to have the script in alphabetical order by view name, is there a value I can set to accomplish this?
Thanks

I have been discussing with some coworkers whether or not it makes sense to invest the time to alphabetize the column names in our tables (aside from the PK and possibly FK's that could be listed first). My reasoning for doing so would make it much easier to scan the list of columns in a table that I was not familiar with to see if it contained a particular column (i.e. meeting_id). I was just wondering if this is common at all in our industry for new DB design (I realize why legacy systems would not be ordered in this way). I remember seeing MSFT designed their tables this way when Site Server first came out.
An argument was made that when you add a new column you would insert it into the appropriate location and in order to make this happen, EP needs to create a temp table, move the data and consequently lock the table until the data has been transferred. While this is correct, I do not see this negative as outweighing the positive experience achieved by scanning a list of fields in a table in a more orderly fashion.
Thoughts?

I have a table which uses multiple joins to create another table but it turns out that the effective_date which is used in the join to match row together does not work all the time since some of the dates for the effective date column are out of sync meaning records that show data as missing even when the other table contains the data. I try the SQL script below but it returning 6 rows instead of 3–
select t2.[entity_id]
,t2.[effective_date]
,[company_name]
,[last_accounts_date]
,[s_code]
,[s_code_description]
,[ineffective_date]

Hi all,
I have more than 1 set of columns I'm trying to normalize, can an unpivot transform handle 2 unpivots around DIFFERENT keys in the same transform?
If not, would the suggestion be unpivot into temp tables for whatever needs normalizing, than run an update query to generate the row that is desired?
Thanks in advance.

I need to write SP which will call from front End to populate dropdown, But in dropdown uppermost value should be frequently used.
For example, My SP Select CountryID,Country Columns where i am displaying Country in dropdown. Now first time it will sort by ascending, next time if user selects US then US should be top and rest things after that.
Now If user selects Canada 3 times then result should sort as Canada,US, and rest countries.
if again US Selects 7 times then result should display as US,Canada,........
In short need to sort depending used previously. i.e. most popular first and so on......

I have a problem with an Order By sort on a SubmissionDate column in my SQLSERVER DB.
I am inputing a timestamp in this format into the column above: 1/18/2005 11:03:19 AM
Problem is, once I sort this column in DESC order to return the results to a datalist dates with a time like this:
1/18/2005 1:03:19 AM
get placed out of place (lower on the return in DESC/higher on the return in ASC). I am assuming this is happening because it reads 1 as coming before 11 instead of after like it is with time. If this was in 24 hour format this wouldn't be a problem I guess because 1PM would be 13, so that is after 11.
Anyone know what I can do to get this sorted correctly?

Hi, I've created a website usiing asp.net and all the data are stored in sql front. All the item are sorted in ascending order except one record. The correct order should be MP61, MP100, MP200, but this record is retrieved as MP100, MP200, MP61. If the coding is wrong, all the order displayed is not in ascending order. We have hundreds of items, but why it happens to this particular record? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to sort the output of a cursor. But since the sort criteria are rather complex, I am NOT able to use the Order By clause directly with the cursor definition statement.
Hence, I need to have a solution where I will use a dummy (calculated) field within the CURSOR and I want the output of this cursor sorted by the dummy field that I calculated within the cursor itself.
Please let me know the different possibilities in this scenario.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)
select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11Bank of abcde
10Bank of abcde
9Bank of abcde
8Bank of abcde
7Bank of abcde
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde
According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:
Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.
So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

I have the below requirement:
1. Group records according to docno column.
2. Records will sort in desc order. (According to date1 column)
3. In date1 column if more than one date is same than we ll consider the date2 column.
EX: 2008-04-30 00:00:00is same here so sorting will happen based on Date2 column. So internal sorting should happen instead assigning random values.
4. Number column is the expected output column.
docnodate1 date2 Number
d1 2008-08-25 00:00:00 2009-09-08 11:23:41 1
d1 2008-04-30 00:00:00 2008-09-08 14:40:53 2
d1 2008-04-30 00:00:00 2008-09-08 14:29:43 3
