Hello,
in a complex stored procedure, i get an error when i want to apply an ORDER BY statement :
Here is a part of this Stored Procedure :
SELECT TaOperations.Id_Operation, TaOperations.HeureDebut, TaOperations.Signe, TaOperations.Facturer, TaOperations.IdUserVerrou,
TaOperations.Id_Client, TaTypeOperation.Facturable, CONVERT(CHAR(10), TaOperations.HeureDebut,
103) + ' - ' + TaTypeOperation.TypeOperation AS Code
FROM TaOperations INNER JOIN
TaTypeOperation ON TaOperations.Id_TypeOperation = TaTypeOperation.Id_TypeOperation
WHERE (TaOperations.Id_Client = CONVERT(int, @Id_Client)) AND (TaTypeOperation.Facturable = 1) AND (TaOperations.IdUserVerrou IS NULL)
If I want to apply an ORDER BY statement, i have
SELECT TaOperations.Id_Operation, TaOperations.HeureDebut, TaOperations.Signe, TaOperations.Facturer, TaOperations.IdUserVerrou,
TaOperations.Id_Client, TaTypeOperation.Facturable, CONVERT(CHAR(10), TaOperations.HeureDebut, 103)

WHERE (TaOperations.Id_Client = CONVERT(int, @Id_Client)) AND (TaTypeOperation.Facturable = 1) AND (TaOperations.IdUserVerrou IS NULL)
ORDER BY TaOperations.HeureDebut
I get this error :

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.
Does anyone cab help me ?

I want to order by a field that is a code, like 1,2,3,11,12,13, and i get the following error

Why do i get this, what can i do to overcome this?

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
Hi everyone,
I want to be able to pass an "ORDER BY" parameter into my stored procedure but I am receiving errors when I do. For example:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetFromTable
(
@SortOn varchar(20)
)
AS
SELECT *
FROM Table
ORDER BY @SortOn
GO
This is the error I get: Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name. Any suggestions on what I can do to make this work?
Thanks in advance,

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ;
however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.

I'm having a problem that I think is due to corrupt data. Depending on
the column I use in my order by clause two problems are occuring.
1. No results are returned and I get this error:
A floating point exception occured in the user process.
2. Results are returned but there are a different number of rows depending on which columns I use in my Order By clause.
Examples
SELECT * FROM SymbolStats
ORDER BY calc_date, symbol
Returns - 12207 rows but only includes one of the 25 dates in the table.
----------
SELECT * from SymbolStats
ORDER BY current_hv
Returns - 0 rows.
----------
SELECT * from SymbolStats
ORDER BY average_hv
Returns - floating point error
With more conditions in the WHERE clause the number of results returned varies greatly.
The
fact that different numbers of rows can be returned from the same query
only differing in how they are ordered seems like a bug.
Does this sound like corrupt data? If so, what are the best methods for fixing it?
Thanks,
patrick

.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)

In SQL sERVER 2008, I have two fields - Depatment and Employees. I need to sort the result set by employee number ascending order, with following exception
1)when department number = 50 - the preferred order is Employee # - 573 followed by 551-572 (employee # belong to Dept 50 = 551-573)
2)When Department number = 20 – the preferred sort order is Employee # 213-220, followed by Employee # 201-213 (employee # belong to Dept 20 = 201-220)
How shall I achieve this?
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 have a query that calculate the total amount of order details based on a particular order:
Select a.OrderID,SUM(UnitPrice*Quantity-Discount)
From [Order Details]
Inner Join Orders a
On a.OrderID=[Order Details].OrderID
Group by a.OrderID
My question is what if I wanted to create a formula to something like:
UnitPrice * Quantity - DiscountAmount Where DiscountAmount = UnitPrice Quantity * Discount
Do I need to create a function for that? Also is it possible to have m y query as a table variable?
Hi!
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.
Peace.

CREATE TRIGGER trgInsertPOItem
ON PurchaseOrderItem
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
'What do i entered???'
END
RETURN
help is needed asap! thanks!

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 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,
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

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

select

order by
cast( description as nvarchar(75));

Code:

I noticed that StockDate is a datetime datatype so why does the month get ordered 1st, then day get ordered 2nd and year get ordered 3rd...

So, how do I get it ordered propery by Year, Month then Day??
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?

What would be the aueries for this. Using the following i get: 1,2,3,6,7,10,11,12,13,4,5,8,9 (interesting and potentially useful) but I would like to be able to experiment with the aforementioned orders as well.
with Tree (id)
as

select * from Tree

Hi!
For the Orders table (let's assume for the Northwind database), I'm trying

That means that the result should be one record per customer and that would

Any ideas?
