Transact SQL :: Order By A Column From Another Table
Sep 2, 2015
I have two tables, one is called (questions), the second one (answers).
questions columns are (ID,questionTitle)
answers columns are (ID,questionID,answer, answerDate)
I use this query to load data: "SELECT q.questionTitle,COUNT (a.ID),a.answerDate FROM questions q LEFT JOIN answers a ON q.ID=a.questionID" the query is easy, but my problem which I can't solve is how can I fetch the data ordered by the column answerDate, I mean I want the first record to be the one which has the most recent answer and so on.

This subject has been posted several times, but I haven't seen a goodanswer.Problem:I want to change the order of the columns in a table using T-SQL only.Explanation:After running your code, I want to see the following table...CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableName] ([First_Column] [int] NULL ,[Second_Column] [varchar] (20) NULL) ON [PRIMARY]look like this...CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableName] ([Second_Column] [varchar] (20) NULL ,[First_Column] [int] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]Limitations:Don't post if your post would fall in the following categories:1. If you don't think it can be done2. If you think Enterprise Manager is the only way to do this3. If you think I should just change the order of my Selectstatements4. If you want to state that order column doesn't matter in arelational database5. If you want to ask me why I want to do thisWish:Hopefully the answer WON'T involve creating a brand new table, movingthe data from old to new, dropping the old table, then renaming thenew table to the old name. Yes, I can do that. The table I'm workingwith is extremely huge -- I don't want to do the data juggling.Thanks in advance!

Does column order matter when creating a table? For example, Should NOT NULL columns always come before NULL columns? Should most frequently used columns always be near the top? What about text, ntext and image data types? Should they always appear near the end of the column order?

Say you have an existing populated SQL 2005 database, with 700+ tables, and you want to just change the order of the columns inside every table. Short of manually building conversion scripts, anyone know an automated way to do this? I was thinking thru ways to do them all in one shot, and have tools like Erwin and DbGhost that could be used also. Basically moving some standard audit columns from the end of the tables to just after the PK columns.
Thanks, Bruce

Hello all,I'm using SS2K on W2k.I'v got a table say, humm, "Orders" with two fields in the PK:OrderDate and CustomerID. I would like to add an "ID" column whichwould be auto-increment (and would be the new PK). But, I would reallylike to have orders with the oldest OrderDate having the smallest IDnumber and, for a same OrderDate, I'd to have the smallest CustomerIDfirst. So my question is:How could I add an auto-increment column to a table and make it createits values in a particular order (sort by OrderDate then CustomerIDhere)?In the real situation, the table I want to modify has around 500krecords and the PK has 5 fields and I want to sort on three of them.Thanks for you helpYannick

I was just messing around with some ad hoc views and table returningUDFs today so I could look at and print out data from a small tableand noticed something strange.If I stick my select statement into a View the columns are returned inthe order I specify in the SELECT, but if the same statement is in a UDF(so I can specify a parameter), the columns are not returned in theorder specified in statement.I know that relations don't have a specified column order, but it was myunderstanding that a SELECT statement could be used to define how youwant your data presented. Views seem to respect the order specified inthe SELECT, but functions don't.What am I missing? Is there some way to force the order of the columnsreturned from a SELECT?View:CREATE VIEW dbo.View1ASSELECT Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt,ThenStmt, ElseStmt, NextStmtFROM dbo.tblStmtWHERE (Ident LIKE '4.2.%')Column order from this view:Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt, ThenStmt,ElseStmt, NextStmtFunction:ALTER FUNCTION dbo.Function1(@SearchPrm varchar(255))RETURNS TABLEASRETURN ( SELECT Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt,ChildStmt, ThenStmt, ElseStmt, NextStmtFROM dbo.tblStmtWHERE (Ident LIKE @SearchPrm) )Column order from this function:Type, Text, ElseStmt, NextStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt, ThenStmt, Ident,ParentStmt, ForStmtTable:(I know that this table isn't entirely normalized, but it serves mypurposes to have a matrix instead of a fully normalized relation):CREATE TABLE dbo.tblStmt (StmtID INT IDENTITY(1,1) CONSTRAINT PK_Stmt PRIMARY KEY,Ident VARCHAR(255),Text TEXT,ErrorText TEXT,Type INT,ParentStmt VARCHAR(255),ChildStmt VARCHAR(255),IfStmt VARCHAR(255),ForStmt VARCHAR(255),ThenStmt VARCHAR(255),ElseStmt VARCHAR(255),NextStmt VARCHAR(255),FullName VARCHAR(255),LocalName VARCHAR(255),Method INT)INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, NextStmtVALUES('4.2.1', 'LineNumberOfResp := EMPTY' 64, '4.2', '4.2.2')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ChildStmt, ForStmt,NextStmtVALUES('4.2.2', 'FOR K:= 1 TO 2', 128, '4.2', '4.2.3','4.2.7')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type ParentStmt, ChildStmt, ForStmt,NextStmtVALUES('4.2.3', 'Person[K].KEEP', 16, '4.2', '4.2.3.1', '4.2.2', '4.2.4')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, NextStmtVALUES('4.2.3.1' 'AuxInterviewerName := DOSENV', 64, '4.2.3', '4.2.3.2')

Table1 columns are: table1Id; Name. Table2 columns include Table2.table1Id which is the foreign key to Table1.
What is the syntax to delete records from Table1 using Table1.Name='some name' and remove any records in Table2 that have Table2.table1Id equal to Table1.table1Id?

As I understood, if SPARSE is used on a column, which have many NULL marks, then the storage could be efficently used (we need less spaces to save NULL marks, hence a table which has many NULL marks with SPARSE property needs less storage than the same table, but without SPARSE. I created two table as follow:
/******* Table with Sparse ******/CREATE TABLE Sprstb(
unsprsid INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
Firstname varchar(20) NOT NULL,
Lastname varchar(20) NOT NULL,
Tel int NOT NULL,
adress nvarchar(60) SPARSE NULL)/***** Table without Sparse*******/CREATE TABLE Unsprstb(unsprsid INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,Firstname varchar(20) NOT NULL,
Lastname varchar(20) NOT NULL,
Tel int NOT NULL,
address nvarchar(60) NULL)
I have populated the Sprstb with 5 Milion records. It needs 509,961 MB storage. Then I have copied this table into Unsprstb
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[Unsprstb] ON
Insert [dbo].[Unsprstb](unsprsid,Firstname,Lastname,Tel,adress)
SELECT unsprsid,Firstname,Lastname,Tel, adress FROM [dbo].[Sprstb]
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[Unsprstb] OFF
The Unssprstb need only 466,031MB !
That means the Table with SPARSE column need more storage, Why?
By the way, in table Sprstb column address has 1666198 Null mark (from 5000000)

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 following 2 tables:
Table: classes Columns: classID, hp
Table: char_active Columns: name, classID, hp
The classes table is already populated.
What I want to do is insert a new row into char_active using the name and classID column, and have the HP column auto populate based on the corresponding value in the classes table. This is the trigger I wrote but I'm getting the error
Incorrect syntax near 'inserted'.
I'm new to sql, this is actually the first trigger I've tried writing.
create trigger new_hp on curr_chars.char_active
instead of insert
as
declare @hp tinyint
select @hp=lists.classes.hp from lists.classes where lists.classes.classID=inserted.classID
insert into curr_chars.char_active (name, classID, hp) inserted.name, inserted.classID, @hp
