MS SQL Server :: Grouping And Ordering Dates

Ordering, Grouping - HELP!

Jul 23, 2005

Having recently had excellent service here (many thanks, Erland!),here's another wee problem.SQL 2000I need to get a report which will display the movement of people thus:ID DIRECTION NAME DATE VEHICLE REGISTRATIONThe value of DIRECTION can be either "Inbound" or "Outbound"I need to have the data grouped by ID, with the "Outbound" row first.For example1 "Outbound" Smith 10/02/2005 ABC1231 "Inbound" Smith 11/02/2005 ABC1235 "Outbound" Jones 14/02/2005 XYZ7895 "Inbound" Jones 15/02/2005 DEF456This is the SQL so far.SELECTfldPersonID,tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],'Outbound' AS [Direction],fldMovementDate AS [Date],CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULLTHEN fldSurnameELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],'Outbound ' + fldVehicleOut AS VehicleRegistrationFROMtblPersonINNER JOIN tblMovementTypeON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementTypeWHERE((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND(fldStatus = 1))UNION ALLSELECTfldPersonID,tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],'Inbound' AS [Direction],fldMovementDate AS [Date],CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULLTHEN fldSurnameELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],'Inbound '+ fldVehicleRtn AS VehicleRegistrationFROMtblPersonINNER JOIN tblMovementTypeON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementTypeWHERE((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND(fldStatus = 1))What I need is the way to Order or Group it so that I can just put therows into a report without any grouping on the report itself (CrystalReports aarrggh!) - if this is possible!Edward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.ukThanks

Union Two Tables With Relational Ordering / Grouping?

Jul 16, 2012

I have two tables with data that I need to get and display in a combobox. What I want to do is have the parent table listed in the combobox with all of its children indented. Sorted by parent then by child.

This SQL seems to be more complex than I have done previously

I can get all of the records from both tables easily:

Code:
SELECT strName, ID FROM tblParents as pp
INNER JOIN tblChildren as cc
ON cc.pID = pp.uiGUID
UNION (SELECT strName FROM tblChildren as c
INNER JOIN tblParents as p
ON c.pID = p.ID)

However, this simply returns a list that is not ordered in any fashion. I'd like to have all of the parent's children shown under the parent name (there is only 1 parent per child and multiple children per parent)

Ordering Dates

Apr 7, 2005

I have a table that has 4 dates for each record (birthday, anniversary, policy_start & policy_end). What I want to do is cycle through each record and then do some calculations using the gaps between the dates. So it
might be Calc1 using (birthday->anniversary), Calc2(anniverary->policy_start), Calc3(policy_start->policy_end), etc. BUT the dates might be in different orders (ie the birthday could come first - or the anniverary could, etc).

In VBA in Excel, I can use the SMALL function within my calcs and this returns the minimum date, the next smallest, the next & then the biggest. But how can I do this in SQL. I guess I can push the 4 dates out to a temp table, order it and then suck them back in - but I have no idea how to do this for all the records in my primary table

I've also tried using various WHERE statements (ie do Calc1 using Birthday & Anniversary WHERE Birthday < Anniversary and ........ - but the code gets awfully long.

Is it possible to write my own SMALL function which uses a bubble sort on the 4 dates & then returns the smallest, next smallest, etc

Any thoughts ?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Get MIN / MAX Dates Per Grouping

Jul 8, 2015

I have a table with Employee, it lists their department, and has a row for each "position/promotion". (Just the pertinent fields below in the example shown of course and only a single employee for example)

An employee may have a single row in a department, or if they were promoted from line staff to manager they could have many.

Additionally, an employee may move around departments during their employment.

I need to get the min and max dates (basically duration) of their time at each department.

The issue is because they repeated departments when I go to group it loses movement between departments.

Raw data:

Employee DepartmentId StartDt EndDt
----------- ------------ ---------- ----------
999 5 2000-01-01 2001-04-30
999 7 2001-05-01 2005-06-30
999 7 2005-07-01 2006-09-30
999 5 2006-10-01 2009-10-31
999 5 2009-11-01 2012-01-01

Result of doing MIN/MAX:

Employee DepartmentId MinStartDt MaxEndDt
----------- ------------ ---------- ----------
999 5 2000-01-01 2012-01-01
999 7 2001-05-01 2006-09-30

However, Ideally I would get 3 rows (Department 5, then the stay at Department 7, then back to Department 5 again).

Employee DepartmentId MinStartDt MaxEndDt
----------- ------------ ---------- ----------
999 5 2000-01-01 2001-04-30
999 7 2001-05-01 2006-09-30
999 5 2006-10-01 2012-01-01

I played with RANK and ROW_NUM hoping I could get it to group / partition on each department and repeat the number for each department so the first department 5 would be RowNum=1, then the next group of Dept 7 would be =2 and the last group of Dept 5 would = 3 and then I could min/max on that grouping, but I didn't have any luck with that approach either.

My table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmployeeDepartmentHistory](
[Employee] [int] NOT NULL,
[DepartmentId] [int] NOT NULL,
[StartDt] [date] NOT NULL,
[EndDt] [date] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

[Code] .....

Query Or Grouping Problem (some Kind Of Parallel Grouping?)

Nov 26, 2007

I'm really stumped on this one. I'm a self taught SQL guy, so there is probobly something I'm overlooking.

I'm trying to get information like this in to a report:

WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Parts #etc

I'm unable to get the grouping right on this. Since the line details and line parts both are children of the line #, how do you do "parallel groups"?

There are 4 tables:

Work Order Header
Work Order Line
Work Order Line Details
Work Order Line Requisitions

The Header has a unique PK.
The Line uses the Header and a Line # as foreign keys that together are unique.
The Detail and requisition tables use the header and line #'s in addition to their own line number foreign keys. My queries ends up looking like this:

WO WOL WOLR WOLD
226952 10000 10000 10000
226952 10000 10000 20000
226952 10000 10000 30000
226952 10000 10000 40000
226952 10000 20000 10000
226952 10000 20000 20000
226952 10000 20000 30000
226952 10000 20000 40000
399999 10000 NULL 10000
375654 10000 10000 NULL
etc

Hierarchy:
WO > WOL > WOLD
WO > WOL > WOLR

It probobly isn't best practice, but I'm kinda new so I need some guidance. I'd really appreciate any help! Here's my query:

SELECT [Work Order Header].No_ AS WO_No, [Work Order Line].[Line No_] AS WOL_No,
[Work Order Requisition].[Line No_] AS WOLR_No, [Work Order Line Detail].[Line No_] AS WOLD_No
FROM [Work Order Header] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line] ON [Work Order Header].No_ = [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line Detail] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order No_] AND
[Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order Line No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Requisition] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order No_] AND
[Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order Line No_]

Ordering

Mar 3, 1999

Hi there!

We are experiencing a problem using order clause in the statement below:

SELECT
person.pkey
, first_name
FROM
person
, private_person
WHERE
fkey_person = person.pkey
AND first_name = 'A'
ORDER BY
first_name
, person.pkey

Where person table contains the following columns:

pkey, name etc

and private_person

pkey, fkey_person (indexed), first_name (indexed)

The output is:

STEP 1
The type of query is SELECT
FROM TABLE
private_person
Nested iteration
Index : i$private_person$first_name
FROM TABLE
person
Nested iteration
Using Clustered Index
pkey first_name
----------- ---------------------
2000512 A
10994 A
2299 A
1097 A
1218 A
5133 A
1329 A
1387 A
1465 A
7532 A
5513 A
1884 A
512 A
591 A

(14 row(s) affected)

STEP 1
The type of query is SETOFF

Why SQL server does not order by pkey? Is there any information about it somewhere? Is it a bug or what?

If we are ordering by fkey_person everything is Ok. Can anybody help?

Thanks a lot!

Kind Regards,
Vladimir

Ordering Dilemma

Jan 26, 2007

I have an int field - that will hold number for an ordering system. It's a databound field to a textbox in a grid, I want the default to be empty, however not all fields are required so i may have 1-6 as bound values, and the rest should fall in line behind them - the only thing i can think of to do is default the values to 9999 so they come after 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc... I don't like seeing 9999 in my bound fields.
thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Advanced Ordering

Mar 5, 2001

Hello.
I want to order a resultset from a table by two columns in another table. Here's how it looks:

[Books]
ID
Title

[linkBookAuthor]
BookID (Books.ID)
AuthorID (Authors.ID)

[Authors]
ID
Firstname
Lastname
AuthorOrder

As you can see it's a many to many relationship. Is there a way to order the books by Authors.Lastname (the first if there are several authors) with one query ? If not, what is the fastest way ? I don't need the names in the resultset so I only want to order the books by Authors.Lastname, not include Authors.Lastname.

Thanks for any help.

Ordering By @parameter Possible?

Mar 20, 2001

Hiya!
I've got a little stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE rICDCode @param1 char(15) = 'Description'
AS
SELECT DiagCode, ICD9ID, Description
FROM ICDCodes
ORDER BY @param1
and SQL is returning error 1008 - "The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number %d contains a variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name."
I want to be able to use the same stored procedure for several different functions which all need the same rowset sorted differently. Any way to do this?

Thanks,

Hi guys.

I want to create a top 20 product list from a few thousand products. I want the rest of the products to be grouped into 'others'...

I also want the products to be ordered by the facts in the cube. Thus the product dimension would dynamically change depending on the Time dimension thats being selected.

is this plausible ?

Ordering By One Field Or Another

May 16, 2008

Is it possible without using CASE statements, to order a result set by one field (if the second field return value is null) or another (if the second field return value is not null)

This would be on datetime fields.
Let's say I have 5 records with 2 date fields
sched_dt and arriv_dt.

sched_dt will always have a value, arriv_dt may or may not have a value.

In a single result set I would like to have the records with an arriv_dt sorted by arriv_dt and the ones without an arriv_dt sorted by sched_dt.

*Hope that makes sense*

Thanks

Re-ordering Records

Jul 5, 2007

Hi all,

Ive got a table with a field called 'morder' which orders a menu based on the values in this field (1 for position 1, 2 for position 2 etc...) for example

1 - menu item 1
2 - menu item 2
3 - menu item 3
4 - menu item 4

If I want to add a record to this table and put it at number 2 in the list, i need to update the table to then read...

1 - menu item 1
2 - NEW menu item 2
3 - menu item 2
4 - menu item 3
5 - menu item 4

I want to use a mssql or php function to re-order this field... is it possible??

Hope you can help, and hope it makes sense...

Specific Ordering

Jul 12, 2004

Hi, I was wondering, I have several columns of data that are able to be sorted on - the user just clicks on the column name. However, we have 1 column called order status where we don't want the order to be alphabetical (and it is a text field - a couple current possible values are Processing...In Production...Waiting For Approval). This order is not good for logical sorting - we would want to be able to specify what value would get order. Does that make sense? So we would want to be able to say that Processing is first in the display, Waiting For Approval would be next, then In Production would be next, and so on. Is there any possible way of doing this in a SQL query? Or am I going to have to manually modify all the data adding numbers to the beginning of each data so that it will sort on the numbers? Thanks everyone.

Ordering By Date

Jun 7, 2007

Hi,I'm streaming data monitoring histories of components into a database table with the following three columns: Hour (DateTime), Id (Int64), and Value (Int32). The Value entry is an aggregate of all values sent from component Id during, and 59 minutes and 59 seconds after, the time listed in the Hour column.I had rather not have to sort the queries after pulling them from the database by date. So I tried to index the DB by the Hour column. Any column will inevitably have duplicates, since the uniqueness depends on a combination of Hour and PortId. But Indexing the Hour column doesn't result in INSERTs being in order as I had expected. Instead, every entry is listed in order of insertion.So. . .how can I keep such a table ordered by date on the disk? I'm afraid this will become very inefficient if this isn't nipped in the bud right now.Thanks so much for your help!-Brandon

Ordering Within Hierarchy

Aug 7, 2007

Hi all,

Ive got a bit of a problem,

I have two tables:

CATEGORY
id
name
parent_CATEGORY_id

RECORD
id
CATEGORY_id
Stock_Held_Number

ps. Ive stripped out any non relevant fields

I also have the following query (again ive stripped out the non-relevant fields)

SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT SUM(dbo.RECORD.Stock_Held_Number) AS TotalStock, CATEGORY.Name AS FundName
FROM CATEGORY
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.RECORD ON CATEGORY.ID = dbo.RECORD.CATEGORY_id
GROUP BY CATEGORY.Name, RECORD.Stock_Held_Number

At the moment its grouping all the CATEGORIES and giving me a sum total for each which is great.

The problem I have is the CATEGORY table, there is an optional join to parent CATEGORY records on the table.

What Im trying to do is to provide a fully ordered result within the CATEGORIES and I don't have a clue.

For example:

The CATEGORY table has the following values
ID Name Parent_Category_id
1 Pens
2 Animals
3 Rocks
4 Horses 2
5 Dogs 2

When I currently run the query I get:
Name TotalStock
Pens 20
Animals 30
Rocks 40
Horses 50
Dogs 60

It's technically correct because I don't want the parent to calculate the total value of the children

What Im really trying to do is order them within the hierarchy though and indent (if possible) the result so I would get

Name TotalStock
Animals 30
---Dogs 60
---Horses 50
Pens 20
Rocks 40

Does anybody have any pointers as to how I can achieve this.

Many thanks

Mike

Message Ordering

When I am receiving a batch of message from a queue to process, does it matter if I order by the queuing_order or the message_sequence_number? I want to make sure my messages process in the order in which they were put into the queue, which I know will happen if I process messages one-by-one, but want to make sure that the data I pull and process execute in the order in which they were received.
