hello,
i use VC# and sql server 2005.
i create a table using the following command :
create table history(name varchar(20) primary key);
I insert records in a particular order.After all the records are inserted and when I try to retrieve the records, all of them are sorted in a ascending order.Is there any way to prevent them from being sorted.
pls reply asap.....

declare @table table (
ParentID INT,
ChildID INT,
Value float
)
INSERT INTO @table
SELECT 1,1,1.2
[code]....
This case ParentID - Child 1 ,1 & 2,2 and 3,3 records are called as parent where as null , 1 is child whoose parent is 1 similarly null,2 records are child whoose parent is 2 , .....
Now my requirement is to display parent records with value ascending and display next child records to the corresponding parent and parent records are sorted ascending
--Final output should be
PatentID ChildID VALUE
33 1.12
null3 56.7
null3 43.6
11 1.2
null1 4.8
null1 4.6
22 1.8
null1 1.4
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...

I hope I explain this correctly...
I'm required to allow users to order items in a field to be displayed on a page in the order they specified.
For example: A user can drag and drop items in a list to specify the order it will be displayed in.
I have my drag and drop code ready to do this.
I have an idea on how to do this but I think it’s too inefficient.
I was going to create an orderby field and populate it with a number that corresponds to the position of the item. However, as one can deduce, if a user drags and drops a record between two others, I would have to change not only its orderby number but then change all the other items orderby number.
For instances if I dropped an item with an orderby number of 3 between 6 and 7 I would have to change the 3 to a 7 and then recursively change all the other records orderby numbers up to 3 and then change everything after 7.
Well, I hope I make sense. It’s easier to visualize it on paper.
Does anyone know how to tackle this issue of user dynamic ordering?
Hi, I have a table records like below.
name priority
------------------------------
John 2
Mike 10
Soo 5
Jane 8
I want rearrange the table records like this.
name priority
------------------------------
John 0
Soo 1
Jane 2
Mike 3
In other words, rearrange order by priority and change the value to zero-base.
Are there simple queries for this function?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have triggers in place on a table that do various checks on data input. It is clear that because of these triggers I cannot do updates on multiple records in this table.

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!

I have a table named as C1_Messages with fields Id, Messages, Dates.
My Id filed looks like this:
1000

1008
1009

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.

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.
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,
Sarah
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 ?
Thanks

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
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 ?
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.

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

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

Hello,
I'm attempting to run three separate queries and have them returned as one recordset. I need to show the top 10 customers based on the number of orders they placed for each of three months, then combine them to give a representation of which customers have been within the monthly top 10 for the overall period of three months. My problem is when I run a count on the number of orders they have placed and order by that count, it is in ascending order which in escence shows me the bottom 10, not the top 10. To resolve this issue, I can specify descending order. This works fine with one query, but when I run all three queries using union statements, I can only have one order by which returns incorrect results. Here is my query. In this example, I get the combination of the three recordsets as expected, but each of the individual queries is not ordering descending, so I get the wrong end of the table. I am not bound to union, but do not know where to go. I do not believe I can use joins or concatenate queries because I have multiple where clauses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please note that I am using a view to convert the cryptic field names which are used by a third party software tool into more friendly names. We will call this view Friendly_View for this example.
USE MyDB
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders
FROM Friendly_View
WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE())

UNION
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders
FROM Friendly_View
WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-2 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE())
GROUP BY CustName, Location, Phone
UNION
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders
FROM Friendly_View
