why does this order parameter not work?!
Declare @SortOrder varchar(50)
ORDER BY CASE
WHEN @SortOrder = 'Sales' THEN Sum(SALES.Sale)
WHEN @SortOrder = 'Profit' THEN Sum(GP)
WHEN @SortOrder = 'Product' THEN SALES.Product
END
Error:
Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.

Error converting data type varchar to float.
Is it possible to use a variable like @SelectOrderBy with the Order By of a stored procedure? or do I need several SP's?
Select *
FROM Table
Order By @SelectOrderBy
I want to let a user select from a drop down on a webform the order by column to use.
Thanks
Which is more efficientWhere NonindexedColumn=x and IndexedColumn=yorWhere IndexedColumn=y and NonindexedColumn=xor does matter? Will the optimiser work it out?(I'm building the SQL string on the fly in the fron-end)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to pass a parameter into a stored procedure to set the sort order.
I have tried things like
ORDER by EmployeeID @direction
where @direction is a varchar with a value of 'desc' and I get an error.
I do not want to dynamically create the sql and use sp_executesql.
I have already done it this was but I am looking for a better solution.
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,

I have a stored procedure that I would like to order by the order of the parameters it takes in starting for current item number 1, prior item number 1, current item number 2, prior item number 2, and so on.
currently I am ordering it by:
c.CurrentItemNumber
, p.PriorItemNumber
among other fields, but I would like to replace the part above with the parameters 1 through 5 (current and prior).
Is this possible?
This is my stored procedure for reference:
ALTER PROCEDURE [cost].[Ingredient_Cost_Comparison]
(
@CurrentSalesQuoteNumberNVARCHAR(20)
,@PriorSalesQuoteNumberNVARCHAR(20)
,@CurrentItemNumber1NVARCHAR(20)
,@PriorItemNumber1NVARCHAR(20)
,@CurrentItemNumber2NVARCHAR(20)

hi all, hope someone can help....i'm having trouble calling an SP where the ORDER BY operator is specified asa parameter when the SP is calledmy SP is.....CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_CustSearch (@SearchFor VARCHAR(80) , @SortOrderVARCHAR(50))ASBEGINSELECT first_name, last_name, postcode , address, townFROM customer WITH (nolock)WHERE (UPPER (last_name) LIKE '%' + @SearchFor + '%'OR UPPER(address.postcode) = @SearchFor )ORDER BY @SortOrderENDGOthe line causing the problem is ORDER BY @SortOrderthe error i get on checking the syntax is:"Error 1008: The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number 1 contains avariable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variablesare only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name"anyone know how to solve this? i'm guessing it's something simple.enclosing @SortOrder in single quotes gives, unsuprisinlgy, unsortedresults.trying ORDER BY '[' + @SortOrder + ']' gives the same error asabovethe only way i've managed to get it working so far is to dynamically buildthe SQL statement and then execute that at the end. it's a little messywhich was why i was trying to get the above working.thanks in advance.

I've been trying to rack my brains over this one; When I use this select statement in SqlDataAdapter, it runs fine; it takes about 4 to 5 seconds to run. In SqlDataSource, its very erratic; taking between 8 to 71 seconds to run. I've finally narrowed down the issue to something that resolves the symptoms to something in my query;
SELECT f.UnitID, f.FacilityName, SUM(CASE WHEN t .sData_Type = 'CLINICAL' THEN t .nWrite_Off_Amt ELSE 0 END) AS Sum_Clinical, SUM(CASE WHEN t .sData_Type = 'OTHERS' THEN t .nWrite_Off_Amt ELSE 0 END) AS Sum_Others, SUM(t.nWrite_Off_Amt) AS Sum_Total, SUM(t.nCashAmount) AS Sum_Cash, t.iYearFROM t LEFT OUTER JOIN d ON t.sUnitID = d.sUnitID AND t.sPat_Num = d.sPat_Num AND t.iMonth = d.iMonth AND t.iYear = d.iYear LEFT OUTER JOIN tblFac AS f ON t.sUnitID = f.UnitID_1WHERE (t.iYear = @year) AND (t.iMonth = @month) AND (@UnitID IN ('08948', RIGHT('0' + f.Division, 5)))GROUP BY f.UnitID, t.iYear, f.FacilityName, f.Division
If I change my WHERE clause to the following
WHERE (@year = t.iYear) AND (@month = t.iMonth) AND (@UnitID IN ('08948', RIGHT('0' + f.Division, 5)))
performance is MUCH better. How could such a little change make such a big difference in speed?
Thanks.

Hi,
I use a DataGrid to show the data, and I want it has a sorting and Paging function,
so I use dataset to collect the data from middle tier function and stored procedure.
I have code in aspx page like BindData(ViewState("SortExpr")).

@Model varchar(50) = NULL,
@Condition varchar(20) = NULL,
@Miles float,
@Zipcode varchar(5),

DECLARE @RowCount int
SELECT @RowCount = Count(*) FROM ZIPCodes WHERE ZIPCode = @Zipcode AND CityType = 'D'
if @RowCount > 0

I've run into something that really isn't a problem - I corrected the issue with a CTE solution - but, it did raise a question.
I was developing a report and, when I previewed it, I got an error that a parameter was dependent upon the value of another parameter - no forward dependencies allowed.
But, another parameter that used the exact same SQL code - just different fields - works fine.
So, here's the list of parameters;
CurDate is derived by;
DECLARE @CurDate AS date
SET @CurDate =
(
SELECT MAX(Load_Date)
FROM Census_Rpt_Final
)
The parameter that gives me the problem is PCPName. It is a list of names derived by the following;
SELECT DISTINCT
UPPER(PCP_Name) AS [PCP Name]
FROM
Census_Rpt_Final
WHERE
Load_Date = @CurDate
ORDER BY
[PCP Name];
So, OK, fine, I can understand the error. But, MemberName is derived by;
SELECT DISTINCT
RTRIM(UPPER(Member_LName))
+ ', '
+ RTRIM(UPPER(Member_Fname)) AS [Member Name]
FROM
Census_Rpt_Final
WHERE
Load_Date = @CurDate
ORDER BY
[Member Name];
And, it works fine. No Foward Dependency problem at all.
So, my question becomes one of precedence. I see, in the list of parameters, that PCPName precedes CurDate which precedes MemberName. Is the problem because, when it hits PCPName, CurDate has yet to be defined, but when it hits MemberName, CurDate has been defined?
Is SSRS one-pass compiler or multi-pass? My guess is that it's a one-pass, because of the error I'm getting. As I said, I've corrected the problem using;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS
(
SELECT
MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate]
[Code] ....
Removing the parameter reference from the code, but it made me curious as to why one worked and the other didn't.
can i pass the name of the table and the "order by" column name to stored procedure?
i tried the simple way
(@tablename varchar and then "select * from @tablename)
but i get error massesges. the same for order by...
what is the right syntex for this task?
the code below works (this is only a quick dumbed down version of the actual code, it might not work 100% for all cases). Is it at all possible to exploit the functions that were added to SSQL since v. 2005 to simplify this code ?
In SSRS, a parameter allows the user to create a list of invoices (from CRM) to be ordered in any of the following ways the user prefers:
'Document Date (most recent date first)'
'Document Number (highest number first)'
'Document Date (most recent first) and Number'
'Document Number (lowest number first)'
The invoices have a (supposedly) sequential identity-generated number. However Accounting may want to set a different date than the creation date on some invoices. So there is no way the invoice numbers will be in the same sequence as the invoice dates.
So I just created the "sorting fields" - they appear as junk in the output dataset (just do not drop them in the SSRS tablix - they have to be part of the SELECT statement to be usable in the ORDER BY clause.
The code is:
DECLARE @ls_OrderBy varchar(80)
--'Document Number (highest number first)'
--'Customer and Document Date (most recent date first)'
--'Customer and Document Number (highest number first)'
--'Document Date (most recent first) and Number'

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?

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.

Hey guys, i need to find out how can i add order items under a Purchase Order number.

AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrder (PurchaseOrderDate, SupplierID) VALUES(@date, @SupplierID)
END
SET @POno = @@IDENTITY
RETURN
However, how do i make it that it will automatically adds item under the POno being gernerated? can i use a trigger so that whenever a Insert for PO is success, it automaticallys proceed to adding the items into the table PurcahseOrderItem?
CREATE TRIGGER trgInsertPOItem
ON PurchaseOrderItem
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
'What do i entered???'
END
RETURN
help is needed asap! thanks!
hi basically what i have is 3 text boxes. one for start date, one for end date and one for order id, i also have this bit of SQL

but the problem is it does not seem to work! i am not an SQL guru but i cant figure it out, someone help me please!

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?
Hi,guys!I have a table below:CREATE TABLE rsccategory(categoryid NUMERIC(2) IDENTITY(1,1),categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(categoryid))Then I do:INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('url')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('document')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('book')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('software')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('casus')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('project')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('disert')Then SELECT * FROM rsccategory in ,I can get a recordeset with the'categoryid' in order(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)But If I change the table definition this way:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE,The select result is in this order (3,5,7,2,6,4,1),and 'categoryname 'in alphabetic.Q:why the recordset's order is not the same as the first time since'categoryid' is clustered indexed.If I change the table definition again:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE CLUSTEREDthe result is the same as the first time.Q:'categoryname' is clustered indexed this time,why isn't in alphabeticorder?I am a newbie in ms-sqlserver,or actually in database,and I do havesought for the answer for some time,but more confused,Thanks for yourkind help in advance!

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
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

Resultset2

Non-A
Noni
Non-O
Nons

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?

1 2
1 3
2 4

3 6
3 7

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

Hi!
For the Orders table (let's assume for the Northwind database), I'm trying
to get the order id of the latest order for every customer.
That means that the result should be one record per customer and that would
display CustomerID and OrderID.
Any ideas?

The data file is a simple Unicode file with lines of text. BCPapparently doesn't guarantee this ordering, and neither does theimport tool. I want to be able to load the data either sequentially oradd line numbering to large Unicode file (1 million lines). I don'twant to deal with another programming language if possible and Iwonder if there's a trick in SQL Server to get this accomplished.Thanks for any help.Mark Leary----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==----http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---
