WHERE [column] IN (list) - Question About Ordering
Oct 12, 2005Hey all,
When you use a WHERE/IN statement, is there a way to make sure the results are ordered in the same order you specified in the IN list?
Hey all,
When you use a WHERE/IN statement, is there a way to make sure the results are ordered in the same order you specified in the IN list?
I've created a clustered two column index on a table where the secondcolumn is an integer value. When the first column is the same, insteadof ordering in numerical order it is ordering 1,10,100,2,20,200 etc.How can I change the behaviour to order the data in numerical order?Thanks,Rick

Is there a preferred way to order a varchar column numerically (for thosethat are numeric), then alphanumerically for all others?I've tried:ORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float,<column_name>) ELSE 999999999 END;andORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, CASE WHENIsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float, <column_name>) ELSE 999999END, <column_name>;Neither of these however give the desired results.Any ideas?Thanks,Frank
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my search results I need to order my data by a particular entry rather than a particular column and then add all the other entries onto the end of the result set. Specifically I'm trying to order my records by a particular location in a city so those entries in that location appear first in the result set and then on the end I want to include all the other locations in that city.
I'm assuming I'll need to do these as separate queries and then use a UNION statement but I'm wondering if there is a better or easier way. Is there, for example, another type of ORDER BY clause that lets me order by a particular entry rather than a column?
Thanks

We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.
Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.
Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.
A typical view of list can be:
Column A - Column B
red - pen
red - pencil
red - highlighter
blue - marker
blue - pencil
green - pen
green - highlighter
red - pen
blue - pencil
blue - highlighter
blue - pencil
We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:
red blue green
pen 2 0 1
marker 0 1 0
pencil 1 3 0
highlighter 1 1 1
We tried Sum but not able to display in single row.

I have a function dbo.FIELD that extracts a part of the value from a field. I want to get two pieces and order by them.
Select failed: Warning: 169(15): A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
How can I do this?
SELECT WORK_ID FROM WORK ORDER BY dbo.FIELD(WORK_ID, '*', 2) ASC, dbo.FIELD(WORK_ID, '*', 1) ASC
These work:
SELECT WORK_ID FROM WORK ORDER BY dbo.FIELD(WORK_ID, '*', 2) ASC, WORK_ID ASC
SELECT WORK_ID FROM WORK ORDER BY dbo.FIELD(WORK_ID, '*', 2) ASC, dbo.FIELD('WORK_ID', '*', 1) ASC

Hi All,
I have never used PIVOT before but looks exactly what I want for this scenario:
I have rows of dates associated with ID of Hotels and Room avalability for each Hotel/Date..... I want to show the sum of the rooms per date as columns I am using something like this:SELECT dbHotelID ,[09/20/2007]as [Today],[09/21/2007]as [Today+1],[09/22/2007]as [Today+2] FROM vwRoomAvailable PIVOT (SUM(dbRoomNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([09/20/2007], [09/21/2007], [09/22/2007])) AS pAs you can see I know how may days I want in advance so know how many columsn so its not dynamic.. I just dont know what the dates are:I would like to do something like:
DECLARE @todayDate varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusOne varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusTwo varchar(255) SET @todayDate = CONVERT(CHAR, GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusOne = CONVERT(CHAR, DATEADD(d, 1, GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusTwo = CONVERT(CHAR, DATEADD(d, 2, GETDATE(),101) SELECT dbHotelID,@todayDate as Today,@todayPlusOne as [Today+1],@todayPlusTwo as [Today+2] FROM vwRoomAvailable PIVOT (SUM(dbHotelRoomAvailabilityNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([@todayDate], [@todayPlusOne], [@todayPlusTwo])) AS pBut I can’t seem to put the variable in the PIVOT value list or GETDATE() Anyone got any ideas or do I just try and do this another way and forgot PIVOT. I am using sql server 2005 express.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
this is my second attempt to get an answer to this question.
We want to strip our firstName column and lastname column of any punctuation that might be present.
What's the best of doing that?
Is my only choice to write a nested REPLACE for each character we want replaced (which will end up being very very long) or is there another way.
thanks

I have the following tables:
tbl_Person (personID, first_name, lastname)
tbl_student (studentID)
tbl_stupar (personID, StudentID, relationship)
tbl_person_Phone (personID, phone)
I need to list all students who have both parents phone number is null. The parent relationship values 1 and 2 indicates the person is either Mom (value 2) or dad (value 1) of the student. Note: I am using student parent as an example to write my query.
I'm encountering this very weird problem, so I create a staff table:
CREATE TABLE Staff (
staffNo numeric(10),
venueNo numeric(10),
name nvarchar(20),
DOB datetime,
position nvarchar(20),
salary numeric(8,2)
CONSTRAINT staff_PK PRIMARY KEY(staffNo, venueNo),
CONSTRAINT venue_FK FOREIGN KEY(venueNo) REFERENCES Venue
);
and then when I create a professional therapist table
CREATE TABLE Professional_Therapist (
staffNo numeric(10),
specialization nvarchar(20),
bonus numeric(8,2),
CONSTRAINT professional_PK PRIMARY KEY(staffNo),
CONSTRAINT staff_FK FOREIGN KEY(staffNo) REFERENCES Staff
);
It says : The number of columns in the referencing column list for foreign key 'staff_fk' does not match those of the primary key in the referenced table 'Staff'.
Let me see if I can explain my situation clearly.I have a table with the columns:answer_id, question_id, member_id, answer- answer_id is the primary key for the table.- question_id relates to another table with questions for a user. Thetable holds the question and the possible choices in a varchar fieldseparated by a delimiter.- member_id is self-explanatory- answer is a varchar field of all the choices the user selected,separated by a delimiter.Here is my problem.I am trying to search all members that have answered, say, question_id= 2 where they selected 'brown' as one of their choices.i can do this if they selected ONLY that item, but not multiple items.The problem is this portionanswer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist.....I need this to be something like....function_to_return_all_separated_answers(answer) in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlistThe current way, it is only returning members that have an answer'Brown', not 'Brown, Blue' in their answer field. Make any sense? So,what I need to do is separate the list of answers and say :select member_id from profile_answers whereANY ANSWER in function_to_split(answer) MATCHES ANY OF THESE (selectvalu from dbo.iter_intlist...It seems I might have to join or something, I am just a little lostright now.Here is my proc.ALTER procedure search_detailed_get_ids@question_id as integer,@answers as varchar(8000),@member_ids ntextasdeclare @v as varchar(8000)--get the delimited string of all possible answersset @v = (select bind_data from profiles_questions where question_id =@question_id)--prepare it for the function only accepting 1 charset @v = replace(@v, '||', '|')--gimme all members that matchselect member_id from profiles_answers where question_id = @question_idand answer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@v, '|') where listpos in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@answers, ',')))and member_id in (select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@member_ids, ','))returngo

View 5 Replies View RelatedHello there,
I have the following table:
ROOMTYPE AMENITY
========= =======
R001 1
R001 2
R001 3
R002 1
R002 2
R002 4
R003 1
Let's say I want to get the ROOMTYPE which contains AMENITY 1,2,4 only.
If I do this:
SELECT ROOMTYPE FROM TABLE WHERE AMENITY IN (1,2,4)
I get all the 3 RoomTypes because the IN acts like an OR but I want to get the column which contains ALL of the items in the list, i.e I want the ROOMTYPE that has ALL of the 1,2,4 but not just 1 or 1,2, etc...In this case, I want only R002 to be returned because the other RoomTypes do not contain all of the 1,2,4
NOTE: The data and list above is an example only as the table contents as well as the list will change over due course. e.g. the list can be (2,6,8,10,20,..100) etc.. So, I would need a query which can cater for any list contents...(x,y,z,...) and the query should return me the RoomTypes which have ALL elements in that particular list. If one of the RoomTypes do not have an element, it should NOT be returned.
Can anyone help me on this?

Can anybody tell me how to find out whether a particular column exists in any of the tables of a database and if it does, display the table names?
Thanks
Can anybody provide an example of how to specify a column list in a CONTAINS statement? Documentation says it must be comma separated inside parenthesis - I have tried (every combination of) this but always get the error "Incorrect syntax near '('.", for example:
SELECT .... WHERE CONTAINS((Name,Description), '"options"')
This works fine when just querying one column (without the parenthesis).
Lets say I have a table called MyData.
MyData has two columns, ID (int), and Value (varchar(x) )
Lets say the data in the table looks like this:
ID Value
- -----------
1 A
1 B
1 C
2 A
2 D
3 E
3 F
3 A
3 G
now, is there any way to construct a select statement from this data that will return a dataset that looks like this?
ID ALL_VALUES
- --------------------
1 A,B,C
2 A,D
3 A,E,F,G
In other words, is there a way to combine all the Value field values into one field for each ID?
