Best Way To Order Results Sequentially Starting From Somewhere In The Middle

Apr 19, 2007

I'm working with SQL Server 2005, and I'm trying to sort the results based on a user selected letter. Say the user selects 'D' to filter his results. I'd like to return the results starting from D followed by E, F, G...Z, A, B, C. What I'm getting is the results for the D entries at the top of the result set, followed by A, B, C, E...Z.

A solution comes to mind that would be very long and db intensive, by querying on 'like 'D', followed by like 'E', followed by like 'F', etc, but I'm sure that there is a much more efficient way to do this. Below is the code that I'm using now.





' where @SortString = 'd' and @Test is a temp Table



BEGIN

Insert into @Test

Select CompanyName,ContactId, CompanyId

from vContacts where CompanyName like @SortString +'%'

Order by CompanyName



Insert into @Test

Select CompanyName,ContactId, CompanyId

from vContacts where CompanyName not like @SortString +'%'

Order by CompanyName

END



Thanks in advance for your help

Listing Results Based On The Starting Alphabet

Mar 27, 2007

Hi,



I have a report which lists out the employees' details. I need A-Z links above the report, On clicking on an alphabet, say "C", should display all the employee details whose name starts with the selected alphabet. In the stored procedure we can accept the character and return back those results. But it is not a drill report and we need the result in the same report. Is there any way so that on clicking each link, the output will be shown in the same report. Any help is appreciated.



Thanks in advance,

Sonu

Specify Order For Select Results, Order By: Help!

Nov 17, 2006

Lets say I have a table named [Leadership] and I want to select the field 'leadershipName' from the [Leadership] Table.

My query would look something like this:

Select leadershipName
From Leadership

Now, I would like to order the results of this query... but I don't want to simply order them by ASC or DESC. Instead, I need to order them as follows:

Executive Board Members, Delegates, Grievance Chairs, and Negotiators

My question: Can this be done through MS SQL or do I need to add a field to my [Leadership] table named 'leadershipImportance' or something as an integer to denote the level of importance of the position so that I can order on that value ASC or DESC?

Thanks,

Zoop

Top + Order By = Strange Results

Mar 14, 2008

Hi there,I'm a little bit confused here. I the TOP 1 function with ORDER BY DESC to get the last id in my table but it doesn't seems to work.Here's an example:SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID DESCSELECT ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID ASCSo basically the first SELECT should return the last id value of the second query but it doesn't.The first query gives me that: 60721And the second one gives me that:60680606816068360684606856068660718607196072060721610506112261124So as you can see my TOP 1 ID ORDER BY ID DESC should gave me this result: 61124Am I missing something or... ?Please help me this is aleready in function so I have to fix it ASAP.Thank you, Regards,OR-THO

MS Access- TOP / Offset? I Need To Order Results As Pages

Feb 18, 2005

Hi,

Sorry I have to post this here, but its sort of related to MS SQL anyway

I'm running a PHP system with MS Access. I need to order results in pages. (For those who are familiar with MySqL and Postgresql - I need the equivalent to LIMIT/OFFSET in MS Access).

I know I can "SELECT TOP 50" in my sql - so that solves the number of results per page.
But what about page 2,3,4..etc.... how do I select results from an offset?

There doesnt seem to be a solution for it

Thanks!

SQL Server 2012 :: Get Results In A Specific Order?

Sep 11, 2014

I have a simple example of what I am trying to do. Here is some code to make a quick table to demonstrate:

create table #students
(
lastname varchar(50)
,firstname varchar(50)
,address1 varchar(50)

[Code].....

I want to select all the records, and them them be in alphabetical order first by lastname, then by firstname, then by address. HOWEVER, and this is the tricky part, I want to group names together that have the same address. So, in this example, I want the results to be in this order:

HallC6309 N Olive
HallP6309 N Olive <---- grouped with the C record because they have the same address
HallE5488 W Catalina <---- back to alphabetical by first name
HallJ7222 N Cocopas

3 Results From One Field - Show Levels In Right Order

Nov 19, 2007


Hi there

We have a web application (database) that uses one field called Application and another called TicketType.

When a user fills out a ticket they can choose up to 3 levels of this field.
Eg Application, Application2, Application3

Eg TicketType, TicketType2, TicketType3

The extra two levels not being compulsory.

I am using sql server 2005 // Reporting Services

My query is as below:
SELECT Ticket.TicketNumber, Ticket.CreatedDate, Application_2.ApplicationName AS Application, Application_1.ApplicationName AS [App 2],
Application.ApplicationName AS [App 3], TicketType_2.TicketTypeName AS Tickettype, TicketType_1.TicketTypeName AS [Type 2],
TicketType.TicketTypeName AS [Type 3], Ticket.Description, Company.CompanyName
FROM Ticket INNER JOIN
TicketType AS TicketType ON Ticket.TicketTypeID = TicketType.TicketTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN
TicketType AS TicketType_1 ON TicketType.ParentTicketTypeID = TicketType_1.TicketTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN
TicketType AS TicketType_2 ON TicketType_1.ParentTicketTypeID = TicketType_2.TicketTypeID INNER JOIN
Application AS Application ON Ticket.ApplicationID = Application.ApplicationID INNER JOIN
Company ON Application.CompanyID = Company.CompanyID FULL OUTER JOIN
Application AS Application_1 ON Application.ParentApplicationID = Application_1.ApplicationID FULL OUTER JOIN
Application AS Application_2 ON Application_1.ParentApplicationID = Application_2.ApplicationID
WHERE (Ticket.CreatedDate >= @StartDate)
ORDER BY Ticket.TicketNumber



End result looks like this:

Extract Distinct Information And Order The Results

Sep 24, 2007

Hi,

MSSQL 2000 T-SQL

I have a problem in extracting information pertaing to a key value and matching that key value to another transaction but the order is based on another value in the same row.


I've attached a sample of DB data below.

tran_nr ret_ref_no msg_type description
5111 12345 420 reversal
5112 12345 200 auths
5113 15236 200 auths
5114 46587 200 auths
5115 46587 420 reversal

Requirement using the above data is to extract data where the ret_ref_no is the same for more than one row but also check that the msg_type 420 happens before the 200. Is there a way of retrieving the information in this way using the tran_nr coloumn values? The tran_nr values is basically the serial number when the transaction is wrriten away to the DB.

I've managed only to retrive the 1st half of my query whereby the same ret_ref_nr is being used by more then one transaction. Still need to figure out the 2nd part where the msg_type of 420 happens before the 200.


SELECT * FROM SAMPLE
WHERE ret_ref_no in
(
SELECT ret_ref_no FROM SAMPLE
GROUP BY ret_ref_no HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)

Results of query
5111 12345 420 reversal
5112 12345 200 auths
5114 46587 200 auths
5115 46587 420 reversal

If someone could assist with only retreiving the above results in bold to the query analyser i will really appreciate it.

Regards

SQL7: Order Of Values In IN Clause Affects Results

Dec 14, 1999

Hi!
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Certain queries that work fine in SQL 6.5 and Oracle return inconsistent / inaccurate results in SQL 7 (with SP1). These queries include an IN clause with a range of values.
For example, the following query:
SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD
FROM table
WHERE columnD = 'I'
AND columnA IN (1,2,3,11,19)
go

returns a different result than this query:
SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD
FROM table
WHERE columnD = 'I'
AND columnA IN (1,3,11,2,19)
go

The only way we have stumbled upon to get accurate results consistently is to order the range values from largest to smallest:
AND columnA IN (19,11,3,2,1)

Have not seen this documented anywhere. We are in the process of re-ordering these ranges in our code, but I welcome any ideas or comments...
Thanks!

How To Increment ID Sequentially?

Nov 21, 2006

I'm using SQL Server 2000 with MS Management Studio. I have a table that has 400 rows. I have setup the Primary key to increment automatically. How do I setup so that the next record starts at 4001 and up? Right now it starts at 1274, for example. So besides dropping the table and re-creating it, how do reset it so it counts from sequentially from the last row inserted?

Invalid Results For Order By On Select Query Against Table Variable

Jan 21, 2008

I am attempting to sort the results of a query executed against a table variable in descending order. The data is being inserted into the table variable as expected, however when I attempt to order the results in descending order, the results are incorrect. I have included the code as well as the result set.


DECLARE @tblCustomRange AS TABLE

(

RecordID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1),

RangeMonth INTEGER,

RangeDay INTEGER

)


DECLARE @Month INTEGER

DECLARE @Day INTEGER


-- Initialize month and day variables.

SET @Month = 8

SET @Day = 11

-- Insert records into the table variable.
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,2)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,27)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (6,10)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (9,22)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (12,16)


-- Select everything from the table variable ordering the results by month, day in
-- descending order

SELECT * FROM @tblCustomRange

WHERE (RangeMonth < @Month) OR

(RangeMonth = @Month AND RangeDay <= @Day)

ORDER BY RangeMonth, RangeDay DESC



I am getting the following resultset:


RecordID RangeMonth RangeDay

----------- ----------- -----------

2 1 27

1 1 2

3 6 10



I am expecting the following resultset:


RecordID RangeMonth RangeDay

----------- ----------- -----------

3 6 10

2 1 27

1 1 2

Adding A Sequentially Numbered Column

Aug 4, 2006

Hey guys,

Was wondering if there was a way to add a new column to a table, and then use some type of INSERT statement to sequentially number the column from 1-end of the table without using an IDENTITY column.

For instance if I wanted to add a sequentially numbered column in a table with 50 rows that already had an IDENTITY column.

Thanks in advance.

The Code in the KL record type is actually the code in the 'HA' line. So to store the KLName1 in the relational table, it's value for the code field is 111. The same goes for KLName4 which has 222 code. So, when a record type 'HA' is encountered, it's like i want to save its value of the code in a variable and use that to populate the code field of the following recordtype 'KL'.



Can this be possible in Integration Services in which we will use the IS objects themselves to loop through the lines instead of creating a script (programming using script task... i think)?

Difference In Starting Rep Service Vs. Stopping And Starting The Rep Job?

Feb 1, 2007

When our rep distribution services time-out (several times a day) some dba's just restart the service while others restart the rep job which starts the service. Are there any differences between these two methods? Does restarting the service inherit any changes made to the job's attributes?



Thanks!

Problem: DTS Parallel Tasks Running Sequentially

Aug 23, 2006

Hi

I have a SQL Server 2000 instance running on a Windows Server 2003 box with 4 processors. SQL Server is configured to use all 4 processors, and use all available processors for parallelism.

I have created a simple DTS package which has 2 "execute external process" tasks with no precedence constraints between them. There are no connections required or defined for the two tasks (sequential
processing is forced on tasks sharing connections). The DTS package
properties have the "limit the number of tasks to execute in parallel"
set to 4.

However, despite the above configuration, the two steps are never executed in parallel, but always sequentially.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why these tasks are not being executed in parallel?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

SQL Server 2012 :: List Of Order Numbers Based On Stock Availability - Filter Results?

Dec 23, 2014

Trying to build a list of order numbers based on stock availability.

The data looks something like this:

OrderNumber Stockcode quantityordered quantityinstock
123 code1 10 5
123 code2 5 10
124 code3 15 20
124 code4 10 10

In this case I would like to output a single result for each order, but based on stock availability order 123 is not a complete order and 124 is so the results will need to reflect this.
