Ordering Data By Entry Rather Than Column
Apr 16, 2008
In my search results I need to order my data by a particular entry rather than a particular column and then add all the other entries onto the end of the result set. Specifically I'm trying to order my records by a particular location in a city so those entries in that location appear first in the result set and then on the end I want to include all the other locations in that city.
I'm assuming I'll need to do these as separate queries and then use a UNION statement but I'm wondering if there is a better or easier way. Is there, for example, another type of ORDER BY clause that lets me order by a particular entry rather than a column?
Thanks

I've created a clustered two column index on a table where the secondcolumn is an integer value. When the first column is the same, insteadof ordering in numerical order it is ordering 1,10,100,2,20,200 etc.How can I change the behaviour to order the data in numerical order?Thanks,Rick

Hey all,
When you use a WHERE/IN statement, is there a way to make sure the results are ordered in the same order you specified in the IN list?

Is there a preferred way to order a varchar column numerically (for thosethat are numeric), then alphanumerically for all others?I've tried:ORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float,<column_name>) ELSE 999999999 END;andORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, CASE WHENIsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float, <column_name>) ELSE 999999END, <column_name>;Neither of these however give the desired results.Any ideas?Thanks,Frank

SELECT EmployeeId, PiecemealType,SUM(PiecemealQty) /100 AS TotalTrays, ActivityId
FROM SR.dbo.PayTrays
WHERE WorkDate > '2012-01-01'
AND WorkDate < '2012-12-31'
GROUP BY EmployeeId, PiecemealType, ActivityId
ORDER BY EmployeeId, PiecemealType
PiecemealType is the type of tray
1= 15 Items per tray
2= 12 Items per tray
3= 8 Items per tray
4= 6 Items per tray
I'm trying to work out a bonus for 1 cent per item worked. The divide by 100 moves the total from cent to dollar and the SUM is adding all weekly values together.I just need to work out how to multiply the the SUM value for trays by the 4 different PiecemealType values. If it was static i could just add *15 to my SUM.

It is one of the covenants of DBMS that data rows are retrieved in no particular order, and I have learned not to rely on that. However, I'd like to know under what circumstances could rows be returned, e.g., as a result of a simple query on SQL Server, not in the order they were stored. I have never seen this happen so far. I can't even test my sorting algorithms (on the data after it gets retrieved from the server) since it always comes already sorted. Naturally, I can always simulate this scenario (and I have) but this is kind of a "conflict of interest", I'd like to see "the real thing". Any ideas?

I'm a SQL noob still and need some help figuring out a weird problem. I have directory information I am trying to pump out in the correct order, no big deal except some entries need to be categorized based on a simple hierachy. So for example, there is an entry for a company division, and then there are all the subdivisions, and then a few offices. So it goes like this:
Divsion=Computing
Subdivision=Networking
Subdivision=Development
Subdivision=Support
Office=Desktop
Office=Application
In other words, Desktop is an office in Support which is a part of Computing.
Now what I want is to basically pump all that data out via SQL in that exact order. So I have 3 fields that I am using and then trying to arrange it using Order By - except it doesn't come out correctly.
Code:
SELECT Division, Subdivision, Office
FROM directory
ORDER BY Division, Subdivision, Office
What happens with this is that I end up with all my Divisions in order only. So for example, the main entry for Computing has "Computing" as it's Division and Office, but I want it to appear first in the list so I set Subdivision to be "A" - Instead of it appearing first it appears second below an entry for a different Division that also has it's Subdivision set as "A". I end up with Divisions mixed into the wrong cluster of subdivisions and offices.
Anyone have any ideas? It seems like this should be fairly simple and yet somehow it isn't. Thanks in advance for any help!

I want to select the below info from a sql 2005 db, to use it in a dynamic datadriven menu. Only problem, I don't know how to formulate my select statement. So here's the data
ID, TEXT HREF DESCR PARENTID
1
hMenu1
link1.htm
desc text
0
2
hMenu2
link2.html
desc text
0
3
sMenuM1
link3.htm
desc text
1
4
sMenuTSMenu3
link4.htm
desc text
3
I want the data structured so that below the row with id 1, would come it's subitems, subitems for the subitems and so on. So the recordset I'd like to return would in this case be:hMenu1
sMenuM1
sMenuTSMenu3
hMenu2
I've indented the data just to make things clearer. And finally, I want the substructure to be infinite at least in theory.I also do not want to use recursive logic to do this, if possible. I can change the structure of my table if neeed.Cheers!/Eskil

Hello,
I am new to SSIS.
I am trying to write a simple package to export data from some SQL 2005 tables and into a flat file.
In my data flow, I am using the OLE-DB data source and then the flat file destination.
This all works fine except that I cant get the package to write the columns out in the order I want. Even when I drive the OLE-DB source by a query, they columns are getting written to the flat file in a different order than I want.
How is SSIS determining what order to write the columns in and, more importantly, how can I change it to do it in the order I want?
Please help if you can. As mentioned I am new to SSIS so please give clear+simple answers.
Thanks

question... i heard a bit about Control Macro Generator but have not found much reading material on it. here at our company we have employees fill out a weekely timesheet and typically have clerks enter the information into the TM.PTA.00 (Project Timesheet with Rate/Amount Entry) and submit it that way. say we have this timesheet in a nice little excel sheet with columns that match the input boxes on the form, how can we get it to automatically input the data instead of having a person sit there and type it all in?

Hello Everyone,
I have a web form that allows the user to select a time to reserve. I am trying to make it so that when a user selects a date to schedule something (which i have working) a drop down list will fill with times that have not been reserved.
The data is stored in two tables: tblCalendar and tblTime. tblTime contains pkTimeID and times (which are all possible times to select from in half hour intervals). tblCalendar contains a few fields but timeID and date (which is in the format M/d/yyyy) are what I need to test against. timeID is the foreign key of pkTimeID.
Basically when the user selects the date, a function gets called that will run a SELECT statement to get the times available. All of this works, I am able to fill the ddl with all times available no matter what the date is or what has already been reserved. I want to check if a time has been already selected based on the date selected by the user and only allow times not selected to be listed.
After acheiving this I would like to prevent the immediate time before and immediate time after from being displayed because each reserved time will last for one hour but the data is stored in half hour increments.
Any help/suggestions/links will be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide anything else please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Hello all,
I'm a newbie to SQL Server. I would like to practice/learn setting up web based data access. Using SQL Server 2005 and probably a sample database like AdventureWorks, I aim to create a web based interface that will allow for data access and data entry. I'm almost finished with a book about T-SQL, and I am starting to read the MS Implementation and Maintenance book, but where do I start to learn about creating the web interface? What technologies/languages are important? ADO.NET? VB.NET C#.NET?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have been using SQL Server 2K for a couple of months now and I have been entering data into my tables through Enterprise Manager. I do this by selecting the table, right-clicking on it, and selecting Return All Rows.
After months of use, this method of entering data has become tedious and cumbersome. Is there an easier way to enter data into SQL Server? I don't know how to program Visual Basic, but I know how to create dynamic websites.
Microsoft Access offers the ability to make Forms, so that data entry is easier. Can SQL Server offer anything similar? Maybe SQL Server 2005 offers a GUI for data entry?
Cheers for your help!

Hi Guys,
I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have textboxes on a VB form linked to 2 database tables.
I am wondering if it is possible to use just ONE BindingNavigator to manage data entry and updates to THE database tables. I initially thought I could manage the tables but have I encountered some problems:
i)When I entered a new record, and clicked on the SAVE BUTTON the new record the textboxes for the 1st table saves the record to the database, but the textboxes for 2nd table still retained data in them and are not saving theirs to the database.
ii) The same textboxes for the 2nd table are NOT allowing for updates too! Or, could it simply be that it is not possible to use this method for data entry and updates?
Thanks you.

I am researching ideas for the best way to have users enter data into SQL.
I am familiar with VB and Access Forms and HTML coding but what I am looking for is a way to have a standalone app or website where users can enter information but I want the form to have branches that change depending on user input (such as selecting a meeting type then having specific questions open up related to it).
Any ideas on the best way to do this?
If a different forum would be better for this request please advise and I will move appropriately.
Respectfully,
Lewis

Hi,
I want to know the different sources, mediums and ways using which the duplicate recoprds or adta can make an entry in our database tables. I found 4 ways for this from many articles on net that are as follows:
Duplicate data might arrive at your database via an interface to another system
Data is loaded into table from other sources because during data loads, the integrity constraints are disabled
Merging data from disparate systems
Inheriting a poorly designed databaseBut is there any other ways also present????? Please tell me???
Thanks,

Hi,
I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express for creating my database. I also use the GUI tools for data entry instead of using T-SQL. Whenever I try to enter a value in a field that has a smalldatetime data type, it gives me an error message -
"Invalid Value for cell (row 1, column 2).
The changed value in this cell was not recognised as valid.
.Net Framework Datatype: Datetime
Error Message: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Type a value appropriate for this data type or press ESC to cancel the change."
Now I have tried entering all different combinations in which one can enter a date or a time or both, including in the format I have specified in the windows regional settings, but I always get the same error message.
How do I input data into the field?

I use only English as the default language for all programs, OS included. The date in question is not just one particular date, it is any date or time value, and I've been facing this issue ever since I started using SQL Server Express a year ago. Only I haven't used it much since, and need to seriously develop something now, that I bothered to ask the question here.
Some examples of the values I tried entering yesterday, and none of them worked. (I got the same error message for each value) -
1-1-2007
01-01-2007
01/01/2007
01,01,2007
01:01:2007
Jan 01, 2007 (this is the format I have specified for short date in the Win regional settings - MMM dd, yyyy)
I even tried entering time alongside with all those above figures in the format -
11:35 PM
11:35 AM
23:35
The only time value(s) I didn't try was/were - hh:mms tt - which is the time format specified in my Win regional settings, neither standalone, nor with the date values.
I also tried entering a time value standalone, without the date. Still no go.
(Also, as I have gleaned from previous posts, if all goes well and SQL Server accepts your data, then if you enter just a date value in a datetime field, then the field automatically gets populated with the value of the system time at that moment, and if you enter just a standalone time value, then the date part will be filled by the system date value on the date of the entry. Am I correct so far?)
Now I'm in a real fix because of the inability to enter date/time values.
Could you please help me out?

(right click the table, select show table, and the grid view pops up). Ditto for using GUI tools of Visual Studio Express. Is this a bug in the Visual Studio (Express) software?
Also, my other concerns are, once I develop a front-end for data entry using VB, will I face the same issues with data entry in the datetime fields using the GUI of the front end? I can't test that right now, because I'm still learning VB, and cannot create the front end just yet.

Alright, I have done a complete reinstall of Win XP, and have also reinstalled SQL Server Express. Prior to this, I had SQLExpress SP1, but now I have directly installed SP2.
Now I continue to face the same issue. SQL Server will not accept any value for any datetime field, unless it is entered as an SQL insert statement. It won't accept the value entered in the exact same format as the insert statement from the GUI mode of Management Studio Express, nor will it take any values from any GUI developed using VBExpress and the fill dataset method. It throws an error everytime. I don't know any other way of databinding and updating/inserting using VB at this time.
I am at my wits' end because of this. I ask again, is this a bug in SQL Server Express? If so how do I report it to MS and get my issue resolved? If not, even then how can I solve this problem?
Could someone please help me out? I am stuck and cannot use the product at all, without the datetime field.

Hi Guys,
I have a request to create a data entry form with validation. The data is in hardcopy and people have to enter data on the screen and then this data should be output to a CSV file, so that I can load that csv file to a table. One of other important requirement is that Data entry person should be able to view the data entered and she should be able to modify them aswell. I.E we should have a form where it should also display the entered data with modifyable feautre.
I know some VB, I thought about doing this in VB. Can anyone please SUGGEST ME HOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS or Any sample code?? I really appreciate for your Help and Input. Thanks

We have an asp.net app with about 200 data entry forms. Customers mayenter data into any number of forms. Each form's data is persisted ina corresponding sql table. When data entry is complete, it needs to beprocessed. Here's where the questions start.How can we easily determine in which tables a customer has data and howbest to select that data?We're not opposed to putting all the data in a single table. Thistable would wind up having ~15 million records and constantly have CRUDoperations performed against it by up to 5000 users simultaneously.With sufficient hardware, is this too much to ask of the db?

I'm reading data from a flat file source. If some data gets truncated, i have the option of 'ignoring', 'redirecting' or 'fail component'.
What i'd like to do is, to allow the data to be truncated, but i'd also like to write a log entry so that i can know that a particular rows data has been truncated.
I've tried 'redirecting' the row to a script component (as transformation), but i don't know how to determine if the error is truncation or not, not only that, i can't redirect the row back to the 'original' flow, which is a derived field column.
Any ideas on how to do ?
Cheers.

Hello All,
I am using the Web Site Administration Tool with the ASP.NET login controls to create/manage user logins & roles for my site.
I have exported the ASPNETDB.MDF into my SQL Database ready to use with my app. The problem that I'm having is that whenever I add a user, using either the Web Site Administration Tool or the Classes available in the code-behind. The entry is doubled up in the database.
This is not a problem when logging on....however, when it comes to deleting a user it will only take one of the entries out and leave the duplicate in there. So if the administrator has deleted a user from the app and then tried to create another one with the same UserName (Which whomever is well within his/her rights to be able to do), they cannot because the entry which has "stay behind" in the database conflicts with the entry.
Any help on this matter would be greatly apprieciated. If any more info on this matter is required please ask (It was quite hard to try and explain this :-)
