Transact SQL :: Using TOP And ORDER BY

Oct 9, 2015

I have a table where on all business days per month, for different trades, a price is uploaded, so a simplified extract:

Trade   PublishingDate   Price
10       2Jan15               100
:
10       31Jan15             150
20       2Jan15               75
:
20       31Jan15             110
:

I'm trying to write a view that will:

a) Give me the average for each trade, per month.
b) Give me the average of the last 7 days, for each trade, per month.

The first one is easy:
SELECT TradeWSRate.Trade,
CASE MONTH(TradeWSRate.PublishedDate) WHEN 1 THEN 'Jan'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Feb'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Mar'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Apr'
WHEN 5 THEN 'May'

[code]...

Column "TradeWSRate.PublishedDate" is invalid in the ORDER BY clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.How can I change the above select to work?  Ideally I want to do this all in one view, and not use functions.

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.

Transact SQL :: CASE Order Of Evaluation

Sep 24, 2015

I have the following query in a user-defined function. It accepts a single string parameter, but for the sake of simplicity, I have substituted actual strings in the query. It basically checks the passed string. If it ends with "Id", it strips off the "Id" and returns the resulting string. If it ends with "Id" followed by a digit, it strips that off and returns the string.

SELECT CASE
WHEN LEN('IncidentViolationId') > 2 AND RIGHT('IncidentViolationId', 2) = 'Id' THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', LEN('IncidentViolationId') - 2)
WHEN PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') > 1 THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') - 1)
ELSE 'IncidentViolationId' END

This code has worked flawlessly for quite some time and all of a sudden I get "Invalid length parameter passed to left function". I understand why LEFT() would normally fail if I passed it a -1 for the second parameter, but in this scenario, asI understand it, it never should have reached the second WHEN condition since the first one evaluates to true. Why and why all of a sudden?

Transact SQL :: Get Active Order Dollars

Sep 18, 2015

This is kind of a follow-up on my previous post "Get 15th and last day trans".  Our client has asked for open sales orders dollars for a given date range to include order dollars active as of the 15th of the month and the last day of the month. 

Below is what I started and I hard-coded the Jan15Open and JanEndOpen so you could see what I am trying to accomplish.  So, for example, if I pass @StartDate of '01-01-2013' and @EndDate of '12-31-2014' I could get back results for 01-15-2013, 01-31-2015, 02-15-2013, 02-28-2013, etc. all the way to 12-31-2014.  Note that the results will depend on the TransDate datetime column.  Once I get the query correct I plan to create a temp table to hold the results so I can report them back in a web page. 

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[afa_selSalesOrdersOpen]
@StartDatedatetime = null,
@EndDatedatetime = null
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;

Transact SQL :: Generate Insert Order Script

Apr 22, 2015

I am using SQL 2012 SE. I have 2 databases say A and B with same structure and relationships. There are 65 tables in each database. A is already replicating data to database C for 35 tables. Now I need to move data from A to B which is greater than getdate()-1 everyday  for all the tables and once the move is done I need to delete this data from A. And samething the next day. Since this is for 65 tables its challenging to identify the insert order. Once the insert order is identified the delete order will be the reverse of it.

Is there a tool or any SP that could generate the insert order script? The generate scripts data only is generating the entire data and these databases are almost 400GB. So I thought of generating a schema only script and then create an empty database with it and then generate data only to identify the order of insert. But it wont generate anything since there is no data.

Transact SQL :: Order To Make A Pivot Dynamically

Jun 9, 2015

I am trying to find a solution in order to make a pivot dynamically. One of my department charge every month all the sales figure in one table and I need to pick up the last two months archived in order to make a pivot and to see if something is changed or not. What I am trying to do is to have these last two months dynamically. create table forum (customer varchar (50), nmonth varchar(6), tot int, archived datetime)

insert into forum values ('Pepsi','201503',100,'2015-04-28'),
('Pepsi','201504',200,'2015-04-28'),
('Texaco','201503',600,'2015-04-28'),
('Texaco','201504',300,'2015-04-28'),

[code]...

As you can see I have to change manually the values underlined every months but it's a temporary solution. How can I set up the last two months in a dynamic way?

Transact SQL :: Order Of XML Nodes In Xpath Query

Nov 20, 2015

I have an XML field with some data that looks about like this:

<steps>
<step userName="abc"></step>
<step userName="abc"></step>
<step userName="saf2"></step>
<step userName="abc"></step>
</steps>

I have a query something like this:

SELECT XmlField.value('(//step/@userName)[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS userName
FROM theTable

I would like to have some kind of indicator in my TSQL results of the number of each <step> node.  For instance, saf2 would be a 3.  I think this is similar to a ROW_NUMBER() kind of function in normal table data.

Is there a good way to get a 1, 2, 3, and 4 value for this sample data?

Transact SQL :: Parent Child Data With Different Order By Clause?

Jun 24, 2015

I'm asking my previous question in this new thread with more specific data and condition.I have below sample data,

DECLARE @DATA TABLE (U_ID INT, U_NM NVARCHAR(20), U_DT DATE, U_ORD INT, P_U_NM NVARCHAR(20) NULL)
INSERT INTO @DATA VALUES (1, 'Design', '06/15/2015', 2, NULL), (1, 'Plan', '07/01/2015', 1, NULL), (1, 'Cust Plan 1', '06/10/2015', 0, 'Plan'), (1, 'Cust Plan 2', '06/05/2015', 0, 'Plan'),
(2, 'Design', '06/25/2015', 2, NULL), (2, 'Plan', '06/20/2015', 1, NULL)

We have 2 different U_ID (1, 2) and I want a SELECT query to display,

1. For U_ID = 1, we have 2 parent U_NM (Design & Plan) and Plan having 2 child (Cust Plan 1 & Cust Plan 2).
2. I want to display parent U_NM ORDER BY U_ORD
3. If any parent having child element, then need to show immediately under that parent and ORDER BY U_DT
4. For U_ID = 2, we don't have any child, hence display ORDER BY U_ORD

Transact SQL :: ORDER BY Clause Is Ignored When A Unique Index On Criteria Columns Exist

Sep 16, 2015

In SQL 2012.A query that joins 2 table, with order by clause doesn't get sorted and the result set is not ordered. This happens when some of the columns in the where criteria are in a unique index which is the index that is used for the join between the 2 tables, and all the columns in the unique index are in the where criteria.In the query plan there is no component for sort.The work around was to drop the unique index, or change it to a non-unique index. Once this was done, the execution plan was changed to add the sort component (even when the index was changed to non-unique and the join was still using this index).

Transact SQL :: Any Reason For Difference In Order Of Columns Between Index Of Constraint And Its Statistics Definition?

Sep 5, 2015

I am really puzzled by an apparent difference between table index key column order and its statistics order. I was under understanding that index statistics mirror index definition. However, in my db 2470 index ordinal definitions match statistics definition but 66 do not. I also can reproduce such discrepancy in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014.

As per definition,

stats_column_id
int

1-based ordinal within set of stats columns

This script duplicates this for me.

BEGIN TRAN
GO
use tempdb
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ItemProperties](
[itmID] [int] NOT NULL,
[cpID] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[ipuID] [tinyint] NOT NULL,

[Code] ....

The result I get is this:

object_id       stats_name                                     
stats_column_list
1525580473 PK_ItemProperties_itmID_ipuID_cpID itmID,  cpID,  ipuID,

and

object_id      index_name                                     
index_column_list
1525580473 PK_ItemProperties_itmID_ipuID_cpID itmID,  ipuID,  cpID,

Also a query I used to discover this in my db is:

WITH stat AS
(
SELECT
s.object_id
,s.name as stats_name
,(
SELECT
c.name + ', ' as [data()]
FROM sys.stats_columns as sc

I want to get the list of items present in that order based on the confidentiality code of that product or Item and confidentiality code of the user.

I display the list of orders in first grid, by selecting the order in first grid I display the Items present in that order based on the confidentiality code of that item.

whenever order in 1st grid is selected i want to display the items that the item code should be less than or equal to the confidentiality code of the logged-in user other items should not display.

If the all the items present in the order having confidentiality code greater than Logged-in user at that time the order no# should not display in the first grid.

Table 1:Order

Order_Id Order_No Customer_Id

2401 1234567 23
2402 1246001 24
2403 1246002 25

Table 2 : OrderedItems

**Note :** Logged-in user have confidentiality code 6

Order No Customer

3rd order is not displayed in the grid

After user selects the 1st order in the grid then the items present in that 1st order should be displayed as 

1001     Rice

the second item not displayed because that having confidentiality code greater than user.

After user selects the 2nd order in the grid then the items present in that order should displays

Analysis :: Order Of Rows In Tabular Table Not In Same Order Data Was Retrieved?

May 19, 2015

I never paid much attention to this before but I noticed this today in a new table I was creating.

For tables defined in the tabular model the table properties have something like SELECT Blah FROM TableName ORDER BY Blah Then in the tabular model the table's data is in the same order it was ordered by in the data source for the table.

I have a date table I setup and I noticed it is NOT respecting the sort order.

I have it sorted by DateID which sorts with the oldest date first and newest date as last row.However, the table that is imported and stored in the data model is not in that order.

I can of course manually sort the rows in BIDS/DataTools, but I find this discrepancy odd.

Would this have negative impacts on the EARLIER function for example if the data rows are not in the order specified?

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.

Default Sort Order When Order By Column Value Are All The Same

Apr 14, 2008

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?

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:
6 Bank of abcde
5 Bank of abcde
4 Bank of abcde
3 Bank of abcde
2 Bank of abcde

select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11 Bank of abcde
10 Bank of abcde
9 Bank of abcde
8 Bank of abcde
7 Bank of abcde
6 Bank of abcde
5 Bank of abcde
4 Bank of abcde
3 Bank of abcde
2 Bank 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.
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?

Order By Clause In View Doesn't Order.

May 18, 2006

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?

Thanks,

Inconsistent Sort Order Using ORDER BY Clause

Mar 19, 2007

I am getting the resultset sorted differently if I use a column number in the ORDER BY clause instead of a column name.

Product: Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition
Version: 9.00.1399.06
Server Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

for example,

create table test_sort
( description varchar(75) );

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));

Resultset1
----------
Non-A
Non-O
Noni
Nons

Resultset2
----------
Non-A
Noni
Non-O
Nons


Any ideas?
