Hey guys, I have a view with dates (TheDate) meant to be arranged in descending order. When I 'Execute SQL' while in the view, the DESC order works just fine and shows up with the latest date first going down. However, once I 'OPEN VIEW' the order keeps defaulting to ASCending order.
How do I keep it in DESC order for viewing? Here's the statement:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT TheDate
FROM dbo.MyDates
ORDER BY TheDate DESC
Does anyone have a general rule or guide on when to use this SQL 2000 option when creating indexes? I was thinking generally on nonclustered indexes where the column would be unique and incremental and usually filtered on by range and often used in the order by clause. Such as columns of datetime or integers datatypes. Thanks.

I am trying to order by the field and direction as provided by input parameters @COLTOSORTBY and @DIR while using a CTE and assigning Row_Number, but am running into syntax errors.
Say I have a table called myTable with columns col1,col2,col3,

hi
Like Oracle SQL, does SQL server has a 'desc' command which describes the tables of a database?
It would be very helpful instead of using Enterprise Manager
How and where to get table and column descriptions of all system
table and system objects.....etc.,
In the followinf portion of my SQL Statement, I cannot figure out how to specify ASC or DESC for the OrderBy... If I Put OrderDate ASC after the THEN, I get an error and if I put @SortDir after the END I get an error... Can Anyone help with this?
WHERE OrderID IN(SELECT OrderID FROM #rsltTable WHERE ID >= @l_FirstRecord AND ID <= @l_LastRecord)ORDER BYCASE @OrderByWHEN 'OrderDate ASC' THEN OrderDateWHEN 'OrderDate DESC' THEN OrderDateEND
Thank You,Jason
I have a column name "DESC" in SQL Server table and I am getting an error when trying to insert data into this column. I cannot rename this column as it's not in my hand.
Please anybody reply me with good solution I am new to SQL.

Hi,
I have been training in SQL on MySQL, and now that I am on TSQL, I can't seem to find an equivalent to the command:
Code Snippet
DESC table_name;--OR
DESCRIBE table_name;
In MySQL, either command returns a list of the columns of the table, as well specifications about these columns (whether or not they can accept NULL values, their default values, etc.)
I have a stored procedure in my SQL 2005 Server database named Foo that accepts two parameters, @paramA and @paramB.In my ASP.NET page, I have these:<asp:GridView id="gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" DataSourceID="DS" AllowSorting="true" DataKeyNames="ID"/><asp:SqlDataSource ID="DS" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CS1 %>" SelectCommand="Foo" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" OnSelecting="DS_Selecting"> <asp:Parameter Name="paramA" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="paramB" Type="String" /></asp:SqlDataSource>In my setup, paramA and paramB are set in DS_Selecting(), where I can access the Command.Parameters[] of DS.Now, here's the problem. As you can see, the GridView allows for sorting. When you click on a header title to sort, however, the GridView becomes empty. My question is, how can I get the GV sorted and in the correct direction (i.e. asc/desc)? My first step in my attempt was to add another parameter to the SqlDataSource and sotred procedure Foo (e.g. @SortByColumn), then changed Foo appropriately: ALTER PROCEDURE Foo @paramA nvarchar(64), @paramB nvarchar(64), @SortColumn nvarchar(16) = 'SearchCount' AS SELECT * FROM Searches ORDER BY CASE WHEN @SortColumn='SearchCount' THEN SearchCount WHEN @SortColumn='PartnerName' THEN PartnerName ELSE ID ENDThat works find and dandy. But wait--I want to get the correct ORDER BY direction too! So I add another parameter to the SqlDataSource and Foo (@SortDirection), then alter Foo: ... SELECT * From Searchces ORDER BY CASE /* Keep in mind that CASE short-circuits */ WHEN @SortColumn='SearchCount' AND @SortDirection='desc' SearchCount DESC WHEN @SortColumn='SearchCount' SearchCount WHEN @SortColumn='PartnerName' AND @SortDirection='desc' PartnerName DESC WHEN @SortColumn='PartnerName' PartnerName WHEN @SortColumn='ID' AND @SortDirection='desc' ID DESC ELSE ID END ...But including DESC or ASC after the column name to sort by causes SQL to error. What the heck can I do, besides convert all my stored procedures into in-line statements inside the ASP page, where I could then dynamically construct the appropriate SQL statement? I'm really at a loss on this one! Any help would be much appreciated!Am I missing a much simpler solution? I am making this too complicated?

I have come across a problem executing a select with a multi-part where clause that only shows up if there are multiple indexes on the table. The situation using a simplified table is shown below
create table tblTest( utcTimestamp datetime NOT NULL, testType int NOT NULL)go
insert into tblTest (utcTimestamp, testType) VALUES('6/1/2003 0:0:0', 100)go
Now, without adding any indexes to the table, I can execute the following select and it works fine, returning the single row in 2003:
select * from tblTest where utcTimestamp < '1/1/2004 0:0:0' and utcTimestamp > '1/1/2003 0:0:0' and testType = 100go
Furthermore, if I introduce a single descending index on just the utcTimestamp:
CREATE INDEX IX_tblTest_Timestamp ON tblTest (utcTimestamp DESC)go
the search still works.
HOWEVER, if I now introduce another index:
CREATE INDEX IX_tblTest_EntryType_Timestamp ON tblTest ( testType, utcTimestamp DESC)go
the search does **not** return the row.
However, if I change the where clause to remove the test of testType:
select * from tblTest where utcTimestamp < '1/1/2004 0:0:0' and utcTimestamp > '1/1/2003 0:0:0'go
it works.
Also, strangely, if I populate the table with a number of records with different dates and execute the following search:
select * from tblTest where utcTimestamp > '1/1/2004 0:0:0' and testType = 100go
I get records from **earlier** than 1/1/2004 (i.e. like the sense of the compare is wrong)
Finally, as I was writing this report, I discovered that all of these problems go away if the DESC is removed from the indexes - so that's my workaround, but it still looks like a bug.
Thanks

Imagine the following scenario-
Identity(1,1) column ID is primary key and only clustered index key.
Rows will be inserted regularly into this table, hundreds per day.
Queries will be mostly selecting on the most recent records.
In a year, the row will have half a million records or so and only the most recent records will be used. There will be a forward-rolling hot spot, of most recent records.
Does the direction of the ID column in the clustered index make a difference?
I'm thinking no, because query plan will go to that leaf in an index seek regardless of whether it is old or new, "bottom" or "top" of index, especially if the query is very specific on the ID.
I've read this
http://mattadamson.blogspot.com/2005/05/choosing-between-ascending-or.html
but it didn't address (or perhaps didn't need to) this sort of scenario.
Hi,
We recently migrated our application from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 and we also migrated from WAS5 to WAS6.
We are getting the following exception when we call any of the stored procedures.
The server failed to resume the transaction. Desc200000003.
Basically we call these stored procedures frequently using the Java thread scheduler.
We didnt face any problem when we use IBM drivers
I guess this is the problem with the drivers.We use JDBC 2005 driver Version 1.1.
But we didnt face this problems when we use JDBC 2000 driver when we used to connect to SQL Server 2000
The Microsoft says that it has fixed the date problems as well as the transaction problems in the version 1.1.But still are facing the issues.
Can anyone of you please help me in getting the solution for the same?

Is there a way of searching tables and linking to the relationship used.
I need to find a list of tutors and the session they teach (both available in a session table)
i then need to find the list of members that are enrolled onto each session.
In the session table the relationship allows me to view what members are on each session but i cannot find a code that allows me to see what tutors teach what session and what members attend these lessons.
I spoke to my tutor who did not offer too much help but did say it may be possible to use the "AND" function

Not sure where to place this question...
We have a bunch of SQL databases that are used for a similar number of IIS sites (we are talking of close to 500 sites), dealing with a .NET e-learning application
While we manage to create a virtual folder for the e-learning content, we do have one database for each site. So, when it comes to update the whole platform, we are talking about running one script per site, which may take about 5 seconds per user per site. With a total of 300.000 users and sites, it may come to more than 17 days running the update script.
Is there a way similar to that on IIS to create a symbolic link from one table in one database to another table in a diferent database in a diferent or same server?
Thanks,
AG
I have a Summary page on a report and then a detail page. FOr eg on the summary pg, I have a field called 'Name'. eg summary will be on name ie 'A', B, C ETC.. When the user clicks on the summary name ie A, he should be able to directly go to that details for that particular name ie details of 'A'.
How can I achieve this, will be probably thr parameters, but not sure how.
