Sorting Some Data...
Jul 20, 2005
ok..
here goes..
I have a name field in my table called "bname"
all of the data in this field has full names in it, spaces are
separated by a "+"
ie. "john+doe"
i have two other fields that are currently NULL. "First_name" and
"Last_name"
now my question is obvious.
I need to populate "First_name" with all of the data in "bname" to the
left of the "+"
and likewise to the Right of the "+" in "Last_name"
i sort of know how i would do this in ASP... but im trying to make
this a DTS package... so i was wondering if this could be done in SQL
Thanks for any help! :D

I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

SSRS 2012 - VS2010...The report compares two years with a sort order on a value that has been engineered based on text switched to int. When sorting A-Z this is the result in the horizontal axis is: 5th, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th..When sorting Z-A the result in the horizontal axis is:5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, PreK..Z-A is correct but A-Z sorting shows 5th as the start and end. The magnitude of the PreK location is correct but the label is wrong on the A-Z sort order. The sorting is implemented using the Category Group sorting option.

Hello all,
The problem goes like this. I am trying to upsize all my data to a
SQL server and get it out of the old Access 97 database. One of our tables
involves testing reports which tell if an object has passed or failed and
its main key is it's ID autonum. When I look at the table in Access, I see
that the first record in the table has a date of 1/01/97 with an id of 1 and continues through today. When I bring those records into SQL 7, the first record contains a date of 9/01/99 and continues out of order down the table. I need the data in the SQL server to begin with the 1997 record like it is in Access and not with the 1999 record. I cannot have the records appearing in the table as 20, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2 but I need it as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, because
the id must be in sync correctly. How can I sort the data in SQL 7 ?

Ok, it is a given that sorting operations are sometimes expensive in SQL Server using the ORDER BY clause because the relational model is not really well suited to sort data blah blah blah.
So the canned DBA response is "this is a presentation issue, handle it in the presentation layer".
OK, great. Problem solved. So I am digging around in the ADO.Net object model trying to give a junior developer some guidance and i am trying to figure out what is the best way in ADO.Net to order what we used to call a recordset where the sorting is not done at the SQL Server, but in IIS.
I imagine there is some overhead in this operation as well. Is it really going to save me some overall performance or am I just shifting the burden and I will not likely see any appreciable difference?

I've been tasked with designing a database to store collectiveagreements. I need to store each sub-article of each article of eachagreement in it's own row within a table. I'm having difficultyfiguring out the best way to store each sub-article's identifier sothey sort properly.The majority of the collective agreements use numbers in a dottednotation, for example:1.11.21.3.11.3.21.3.31.4Some agreements mix letters with numbers, such as:A-1.11.1.A.1Any ideas how I should deal with this?

can anyone please help on a sql statement that would sort out three kinds of data. let's say i have a column that contains a status flag. there are only 2 possible values, add and delete. now, i want to sort out three kinds of data: add_only, delete_only, and update. Update is the data that contains duplicate records in the table. Which means, there are two rows having same "student_number" but two different status flags. This happens when there's an update or change in data, such as new address or new phone number. The old row/data is sent with status flag of delete, while the updated data is sent with status flag of add. Example below. An output table with a new column of tag is created.
reports table
STUDENT_NO
NAME
ADDRESS
PHONE
STATUS FLAG
1
McKenzie

9111111

2

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

Has anyone ever looked at the way the grid data viewer sorts it data when
clicking on a column header? If you click on a column header, something
happens to the sorting of the data in the viewer, but it's not always clear
to me _what_ is happening. It appears the data is sorted ascending on the
column you clicked on. If you click again the sort order seems to inverse to
descending. However, if you look closely, it turns out that the data is not
always sorted correctly, especially when you click on an integer valued
column.
I found this when doing a demo on the AdventureWorks demo extracting data
from the SalesOrderDetail table. If you sort on the OrderQty column, data is
correctly sorted in ascending quantities. However, if you click the column
again, orders with an order quantity of 2 are displayed on top (while there
are orders with a much higher order quantity) and if you scroll down the
list, you notice that there is no clear sorting anymore. The same happens
with other columns.
Is this supposed to work as I would expect it to do or is there a logical
explanation for the behaviour I see?

Sample Table
USE [Testing]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Testing] Script Date: 4/25/2014 11:08:18 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.

I have a text field in the form of numbers separated by periods like this: 1,1.2,1.2.1
When I sort, it works fine unless I get out to 10 digits.
Desired sort: 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.2,.....,1.1.9,1.1.10
Actual sort: 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.10,1.1.2,.....,1.1.9
The 10 is showing up smaller than the 2 because of the straight text comparison, any ideas on how to get around this?

I have a gridview that has AllowSorting="true" however I need to implement my own sorting because I have DateTime and Integer data types in several of the columns and I don't want an int column sorted like 1,12,2,23,3,34,4,45,5,56, etc. So, I've added SortParameterName="sortBy" and adjusted my stored procedure to accept this. For only ASC sorting, I've got
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortBy='' THEN DateCreated END, CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated' THEN DateCreated END
and so on. However, columns can also be sorted with DESC. I tried CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated DESC' THEN DateCreated DESC END, but I get a syntax error on DESC. How can I do this?

I am trying to set up custom paging and sorting with my gridview. All is well but the sorting. The problem is with the stored procedure. If I pass in the value @sortExpression as, for example "discussions_Posts.post_time", i does not sort it at all. But if I replace the @sortExpression with discussions_Posts.post_time in the actual stored procedure, it gets sorted. how do I sort this query with a input parameter with values like "discussions_Topics.topic_title" or something? ALTER PROCEDURE discussions_GetTopicsSubSet@startRowIndex as int,@maximumRows as int,@sortExpression as nvarchar(50),@board_id as intASDECLARE @Topics TABLE(RowNumber INT,topic_id INT,topic_title VARCHAR(50),topic_replies INT,topic_views INT,topic_type INT,topic_time DATETIME,post_id int,post_time DATETIME,Topic_Author_UserName nvarchar(256),Topic_Author_ID uniqueidentifier,Post_Author_Username nvarchar(256),Post_Author_ID uniqueidentifier)--DECLARE @TopicsFrom Datetime--SELECT @TopicsFrom = CASE @TopicsDays WHEN '1' THEN DATEADD(day,-1,getdate()) WHEN '2' THEN DATEADD(day,-7,getdate()) WHEN '3' THEN DATEADD(day,-14,getdate()) WHEN '4' THEN DATEADD(month,-1,getdate()) WHEN '5' THEN DATEADD(month,-3,getdate()) WHEN '6' THEN DATEADD(month,-6,getdate()) WHEN '7' THEN DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) ELSE DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) END-- populate the table CAST(getdate() as int)INSERT INTO @TopicsSELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY @sortExpression), discussions_Topics.topic_id, discussions_Topics.topic_title, discussions_Topics.topic_replies, discussions_Topics.topic_views, discussions_Topics.topic_type,discussions_Topics.topic_time, discussions_Posts.post_id, discussions_Posts.post_time, user_1.UserName AS Topic_Author_Username, user_1.UserId AS Topic_Author_ID, user_2.UserName AS Post_Author_Username, user_2.UserId AS Post_Author_IDFROM discussions_Topics INNER JOIN discussions_Posts ON discussions_Posts.post_id = discussions_Topics.topic_last_post_id INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_1 ON user_1.UserId = discussions_Topics.topic_poster INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_2 ON user_2.UserId = discussions_Posts.poster_idWHERE (discussions_Topics.board_id = @board_id ANDdiscussions_Topics.topic_type NOT LIKE '1' )SELECT * from @TopicsWHERE RowNumber BETWEEN @startRowIndex AND (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows) - 1

This is more of a SQL question than a .NET question, but if you could indulge me, I'd appreciate it.
I have a table that has 2 columns of particular interest for the purposes of this question. One is a foreign key to another table (int), the other is a name (varchar(50). I want to sort the results set in a specific way. I want to sort it in such a way that all entries that have the foreign key = 0 come first (sorted ASC by name) then I'd like all the other results with foreign key column > 0 to be sorted ASC by name. I was trying to be cute and tried an order by statement like this: "ORDER BY (foreignKey > 0), name" but it's a syntax error (as I initially thought it might be). I know I could probably do a stored procedure that will create a temporary table and I could insert a new column to help put these in order, and I also know I could put all the results into an array, then sort the array in code, but I was just wondering if there was a simpler, slicker way (tricky SQL query perhaps).

Hi,
I hope I can explain what I am trying to achieve (in MS SQL Server):
The results set that shows Names and Dates (plus others, but not relevant here), that needs to be sorted by Date and then by name.
I have tried:
ORDER BY date, surname, forename (gives dates in right order but not names)
and
ORDER BY surname, forename, date (gives names in right order but not dates)
Thanks for any advice!

I noticed when looking at the execution path that the SQL sort (order by) was taking up 16% of the total for the query. However the execution time for the sort was like .007 ms in SQL so I doubt it was really that much overhead.
Is it more effecient to sort a dataset within my asp.net program?
