Order By

Feb 18, 2006

Hi everyone,
I have a select statement of the form
SELECT * FROM temp ORDER BY time

I have a scalar function ConvertToMinutes that takes in varchar and returns int, is there any way to do something like this SELECT * FROM temp ORDER BY ConvertToMinutes(time). I tried doing this and it doesn't work (it tells me ConvertToMinutes is not a built-in function). Please guide me as to how I would accomplish this. Thanks in advance.


P.S. Clarification: I am trying to order the table temp by the value returned by the function ConvertToMinutes on the coloumn time.

Express Will Not Load. Insurmountable Difficulties With Order Of Uninstalls/order Of Installs/ Suggestions Plz

Jan 7, 2007

Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...

SQL Server Express edition

Visual Studios 2005

Jet 4.0 newest upgrade

.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)

VS2005 Security upgrade

Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?

I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express



Thank you, Mark

Analysis :: Order Of Rows In Tabular Table Not In Same Order Data Was Retrieved?

May 19, 2015

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?

Calculate Total Amount Of Order Details Based On Particular Order

Apr 10, 2014

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?

Mar 27, 2008

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.

Default Sort Order When Order By Column Value Are All The Same

Apr 14, 2008

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?

Inconsistent Sort Order Using ORDER BY Clause

Mar 19, 2007

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
Version: 9.00.1399.06
Server Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

for example,

create table test_sort
( description varchar(75) );

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
cast( 1 as nvarchar(75));

select
*
from
test_sort
order by
cast( description as nvarchar(75));

Resultset1
----------
Non-A
Non-O
Noni
Nons

Resultset2
----------
Non-A
Noni
Non-O
Nons


Any ideas?

Force The ORDER BY To Be In Ascending Order??

Jul 5, 2007

I noticed the StockDate is not sorted in proper order, like ascending order...


Code:

select top 1000 CONVERT(char, StockDate, 101) AS StockDate, timestamp from tblpurchaseraw where accountid = '119' order by stockdate desc



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...

The sample data is MM/DD/YYYY...

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

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

In-Order/Level Order Etc. Traversal Using CTE

Apr 16, 2008

Hi,

I have some hierarchical data in a table. Say for example:

Parent Child
------------------------
NULL 1

1 2

1 3

2 4

2 5

3 6

3 7

5 8

5 9

7 10

7 11

11 12

11 13


Now I want to be able to use CTE's to be able to traverse this tree in
1) level by level order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10....
2) in order 1,2,4,5,8,9,3,6,7,10,11,12,13...

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 id from WithTest

where parent is null

union all

select a.id

from Tree b join WithTest a

on b.id = a.parent



)

select * from Tree


Any ideas? Thanks.

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

T-SQL Help With Order By

Dec 13, 2004

In a stored procedure MS-SQL I am trying to write an order by expression that is a function of the incoming paramters.

SO for example

CREATE PROCEDURE test
@sortby varchar(10)
AS

SELECT * FROM table WHERE condition
ORDER BY @SORTBY

Gives an error (1008) but the error message implies that you can use a variable in the order by expression.

I have tried every combination I can think of

with the variable as varchar = column name, as integer .

I have also tried variations of
Order by COL_Name(OBJECT_ID('item"), variable) and I ether get errors or no errors but no order either.

Any leads appreciated.

TIA
