Views Ignoring Order By Clause

Sep 7, 2007

I have just transferred my site to a new server with SBS R2 Premium, so the site's database changed from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.   I find that searches are now returning results in random order, even though they use a view with an Order By clause to force the order I want.

I find that the results are unordered when I test the view with Management Studio, so the issue is unrelated to my VB/ASP Net code.

Using my SQL update tool (SQL Compare, from Redgate) I find that there are no differences in the views, or the underlying tables.

Using Management Studio to test a number of views, I find that I have a general problem with all views.  For example, one of the simpler views is simply a selection of fields from one table, with an Order By clause on the tables primary key: -
       SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT GDQid, GDQUser, GDQGED, GDQOption, gdqTotalLines, GDQTotalIndi, GDQRestart, GDQCheckpointMessage, 
                           GDQStarted, GDQFinished, gdqCheckpointRecordCountr
       FROM         dbo.GEDQueue
       ORDER BY GDQid DESC

If I right-click the view (from Management Studio's Object Explorer pane), select Design from the menu to show the view's design, and then click the Execute SQL icon, the view's results are displayed perfectly, in descending order of GDQid.  However, if I select "Open View" the view's results are displayed out of order.

When I do this with the SQL 2000 database, both Design/Execute and Open View correctly display the data in the correct order.

Is there something that I should check in the SQL 2005 installation - some option that has been set incorrectly?

Regards, Robert Barnes

ORDER BY Clause Is Invalid In Views / Inline Functions / Derived Tables / Subqueries

Sep 25, 2013

The data I am pulling is correct I just cant figure out how to order by the last 8 numbers that is my NUMBER column. I tried adding FOR XML AUTO to my last line in my query: From AP_DETAIL_REG where AP_BATCH_ID = 1212 and NUMBER is not null order by NUMBER FOR XML AUTO) as Temp(DATA) where DATA is not null

but no change same error.
Output:
1234567890000043321092513 00050020

Select DATA from(
select '12345678'+
left( '0', 10-len(cast ( CONVERT(int,( INV_AMT *100)) as varchar))) +
cast (CONVERT(int,(INV_AMT*100)) as varchar) +
left('0',2-len(CAST (MONTH(DATE) as varchar(2))))+
CAST (MONTH(DATE) as varchar(2)) +
left('0',2-len(CAST (day(CHECK_DATE) as varchar(2)))) +
CAST (day(DATE) as varchar(2))+right(cast
(year(DATE)

Order By Ignoring The Hyphen Character

Sep 24, 2007

Hi,
I'm using the following SQL script to return a list of part number and the order is not what I expect. Perhaps this is a collation problem but I have no idea where to look to modify that.

Thanks in advance, John
select part from transactions T where (T.transdate between '20070701' and '20070705') and
(T.transtype = 'ISSU' or T.transtype = 'RTRN') order by part


Here is the beginning of the Transactions table create script


CREATE TABLE [Transactions] (
[RecNo] [int] IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
[Part] [nvarchar] (30) NOT NULL ,
[TransDate] [nvarchar] (8) NOT NULL ,
[TransType] [nvarchar] (4) NOT NULL ,
[FromLoc] [nvarchar] (10) ,


The 'Part' column is an alphanumeric field. The problem I am having is that the
Order By seems to ignore the hyphen character '-' when the returned rows
are ordered by the Part (which can contain hyphens in any column).

Here is an example of what I get.

130909N9
130909N9
130909N9
1-480698-0 * These two should not be here
1-480699-0 *
15-423
164-07700
164-07700
164-07700
1683


I was expecting this ( and I get this in and older database ).

068-03000
068-03000
06A19956
074-03200
077-367-0
08DU08
1-480698-0 * These should be here eariler in the data
1-480699-0
100-364072
100-364072

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?

Using Having Clause Or Views For SQL Query

Sep 5, 2007

Does anyone know how to count rows of data from 1 table that meet one or two different criteria and then get the probability of occurance for that criteria ... as an output column?
Do I use 'Having' or temp tables or Views?
Here is my output for now.  I am trying to solve for 'Prob' - everything else works on it's own.Craig
 
SELECT Wins_Lng/Trades_Lng as Prob
FROM Transactions
SELECT Count(Ticker) as Trades_Lng
FROM Transactions
WHERE TransType='C' AND DateDiff(day,BaseDate,GetDate())<=100 AND TransKind='B' (SELECT COUNT(Ticker)as Wins_Lng
FROM TransactionsWHERE Transkind='B' AND TransType='C' AND DateDiff(day,BaseDate,GetDate())<=100 AND Profit_Lng>=0)

Where Clause Parameter In Views

Jul 19, 2009

I have an Epicor ERP system that enables writing 'queries' in its internal format, that can see Views in the MSSQL database. Very useful, as I can write view definitions with much more flexibility than the ERP tools. As far as I can tell the ERP DB interface can't call SQL procedures.

What I want to to is to pass a value from the ERP engine that the View can use to restrict record selection. The View query produces a field that describes how far down into a nested parts list structure it has got, so the data is not in the database, it is calculated by the query.

A user may wish to restrict the depth of descent to, say 3 levels. I can filter the results set returned by the view in today's solution to only show levels up to 3, but the View still processes all levels (some 12 million records possible return) before the filtering can be applied. SLOW...

So I want to pass a parameter (if that is the right jargon) into the View to limit how much work it will do.

Incorrect Processing Order For Views

Jun 4, 2007

I am using SQL 2005 merge replication with SP1 hotfix build 9.00.2227.00. This build is in use rather than SP2 because a fix I need is not yet available for SP2

Essentially the problem is as follows:
1) Initial state is that merge replication of table and views is working fine
2) I then alter one view which references a new view in the same publication
3) Synchronization processes the view scripts in the wrong order regardless of the processing order
4) An 'invalid object name' error results as the new view has not arrived at the subscriber when alteration of the first view is attempted

The number suffixes on the script filenames in the snapshot folder do, however,appear to be numbered correctly so as to process in the correct order


Note that I have tried using the default processing order and have also set the processing order explicitly using sp_changemergearticle - but the problem still occurs

I have tried to recreate this problem on a small database with a minimum of articles, but attempts at repro have failed to date with a simple configuration - ie the processing order applied is correct

Is there an known problem in this area?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Reg. Order By Clause

Aug 19, 2006

Can you explain the below scenario

The ORDER BY clause can include items that do not appear in the select list. However, if SELECT DISTINCT is specified, or if the statement contains a GROUP BY clause, or if the SELECT statement contains a UNION operator, the sort columns must appear in the select list.

what is the reason behind this.

I need to order them so that 1 is first, and 0 is last like 1,2,2,3,4,6,8....98....0,0,0My Order By clause statement looks like 'ORDER BY column_name', but obviously this will put the '0' records at the top.

T-SQL : Order By Clause Is Just Strange

Mar 19, 2008

Hi! I think the order by clause is driving me crazy.The following T-SQL query works: SELECT
count(*) AS c
From F_POST
Where id=@id
Order by c  Ok, so far so good, but in the following case it is NOT possible to order the result set according to "count(*)": Select
T_Date AS TDATE,
count(*) AS c
From F_Post
Where id=@id
Order By case when @OrderBy = 1 then c
elseT_DATE DESC  This is just strange since it is essentially the same query!? Furthermore, it seems to be inpossible to have a order-by-clause that looks like:  Order By case when @OrderBy = 1 then T_Column1 ASC
elseT_Column2 DESC

 Does anyone know how I can implement querys that do (almost) exactly this what the last 2 querys "should" to do?

Changing Order By Clause On The Fly

Jun 26, 2000

I'm using a Case statement to change an Order By clause on the fly, eg

ORDER BY case when @SortBy = 1 then s.ITEM_NAME
when @SortBy = 2 then s.ITEM_ID
when @SortBy = 3 then s.ITEM_SIZE
end

The numeric columns work fine but when @SortBy = 1, I get the following message when I try to run the sp:

Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Procedure usp_CML_SAO_RptPresLvl, Line 95
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.

ITEM_NAME is a varchar(40) containing alphanumeric characters; ITEM_ID is a numeric(8,0) & ITEM_SIZE is a varchar(5) containing numeric characters.

Is there some rule preventing me to dynamically change the Order By if using a alphanumeric characters?
Thanks for any help you can offer
Jo

Exception For An ORDER BY Clause

Feb 17, 2005

I have a query that returns several ordered rows where one of the fields in the ORDER BY clause is a date field (DueDate) that we use to see the most pressing deadline first. The problem is that the default value in that field (which other code translates to mean no due date) is 1/1/1900. That means that items with no due date show up before today's import deadline. I can see one potential solution where I join my results on the original table where DueDate>1/1/1900 and then back to my results so I can use an ISNULL() on the field to set a value in the future (like 1/1/9999), but that seems like a really nasty wrong round-about way to do it. I think there has to be something better.

Top Clause , Union And Order By

Dec 7, 2007

Hi,

I'm currently have a problem with a query using a top clause. When I run it by itself as a single query, I have no problems and the results are valid. However, if I try duplicate the query after a union clause, the order by ... desc doesn't order properly.

The following is the query I'm using along with the results. Then I'll have the query I was trying to unite and the results (date ranges selected were the same in both):

QUERY 1

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=?
and s.ldate<=?
and v.mdtid=20411

order by s.ldate desc


RESULTS 1

DATE MDT IDPU Odometer DO Odometer Total Miles
12/6/2007 2041112810.6 12874.5 63.9

QUERY 2 (with Union)

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=[From Date,Date]
and s.ldate<=[To Date,Date]
and v.mdtid=20411

Union

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

1/2/2007 2642 193652.6193817 164.4

As you can see, the results are sorted very differently. Is there any way to have the order by apply to both queries?

Thanks!

Order By Clause Using Parameters

Dec 12, 2007

For my reports I have a Sort By parameter which has 2 values - Customer Name & Customer Number. for my dataset I have added @SortBy as parameter and assigned the value = Parameter!SortBy.value.

In the query I want to set the Order By clause based on the user selection. eg.:

select * from dbo.customers where name = @CustomerName order by @SortBy

However, I am unable to do this. I always get an exception for the order by clause no mater what. I have also tried the following queries in the query designer for the dataset customers but none of them work

="select * from dbo.customers where name " + @CustomerName + " order by " + @SortBy

select * from dbo.customers where name = @CustomerName order by + @SortBy

I know that I can set the interactive sort on the column headers and the interactive sort works, but the customer wants to have the ability to set the Sort By using the dropdown list.


Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Error In Use Of Order By In Over Clause

Sep 13, 2007



Hi,
I am getting a wierd error while using order by in the over clause. Consider the following query:

select count (*) over (order by STD_CLL_CNTR_KEY) as cnt

from FCT_CLL_CS_DTLS

The error reported is :

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'order'.

But at the same time this particular query seems to be working fine:

select rank () over (order by STD_CLL_CNTR_KEY) as cnt

from FCT_CLL_CS_DTLS


Am I missing something fundamental or is there a bigger issue.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Emil
