Specify Order For Select Results, Order By: Help!
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

Results In Order
I have the following query and I am wanting to get the results to be in order. Right now, it shows me the results by date, but the dates are out of order. How can I get it to give me the results by date in date order???

SELECT DISTINCT MDN, dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, CallDate), 0) as CallDate,sum(PaidBalCost), sum(BonusBalCost), sum(ceiling((Cast(DurationSeconds as Decimal)/60))) as Minutes

Top + Order By = Strange Results
Hi there,I'm a little bit confused here. I the TOP 1 function with ORDER BY DESC to get the last id in my table but it doesn't seems to work.Here's an example:SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID DESCSELECT ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID ASCSo basically the first SELECT should return the last id value of the second query but it doesn't.The first query gives me that: 60721And the second one gives me that:60680606816068360684606856068660718607196072060721610506112261124So as you can see my TOP 1 ID ORDER BY ID DESC should gave me this result: 61124Am I missing something or... ?Please help me this is aleready in function so I have to fix it ASAP.Thank you, Regards,OR-THO

Select Like And Order Results
Hello there,
 
  I have two tables I selecting name using like with %string% from the two tables but I need to order the result comes from the two table:
1- the exact match for the search string come first from the two table.
2- and the partial match comes last after the exact match.
 
this is my DDL for the two tables :
 

USE [Northwind]
GO
/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[Person]    Script Date: 04/25/2008 14:33:24 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Person](
 [PersonID] [int] NULL,
 [Type] [char](10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
 [Name] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
 [email] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
 
 
second table:
USE [Northwind]
GO
/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[Members]    Script Date: 04/25/2008 14:33:52 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

 [Email] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
 
 
and this my search query I have it in a stored Proc.
 

select *

from

(

 

 

SELECT PersonID, Type, Name, email


FROM Person
WHERE (Name LIKE '%'@Name'%')
union all

SELECT PersonID, Type, Name, email

.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)

Default Sort Order - Open Table - Select Without Order By
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.

MS Access- TOP / Offset? I Need To Order Results As Pages
Hi,

Sorry I have to post this here, but its sort of related to MS SQL anyway

I'm running a PHP system with MS Access. I need to order results in pages. (For those who are familiar with MySqL and Postgresql - I need the equivalent to LIMIT/OFFSET in MS Access).

I know I can "SELECT TOP 50" in my sql - so that solves the number of results per page.
But what about page 2,3,4..etc.... how do I select results from an offset?

There doesnt seem to be a solution for it

Thanks!

3 Results From One Field - Show Levels In Right Order
 
Hi there
 
We have a web application (database) that uses one field called Application and another called TicketType.
 
When a user fills out a ticket they can choose up to 3 levels of this field.
Eg Application, Application2, Application3
 
Eg TicketType, TicketType2, TicketType3
 
The extra two levels not being compulsory.
 
I am using sql server 2005 // Reporting Services
 
My query is as below:
SELECT     Ticket.TicketNumber, Ticket.CreatedDate, Application_2.ApplicationName AS Application, Application_1.ApplicationName AS [App 2],
                      Application.ApplicationName AS [App 3], TicketType_2.TicketTypeName AS Tickettype, TicketType_1.TicketTypeName AS [Type 2],
                      TicketType.TicketTypeName AS [Type 3], Ticket.Description, Company.CompanyName
FROM         Ticket INNER JOIN
                      TicketType AS TicketType ON Ticket.TicketTypeID = TicketType.TicketTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN
                      TicketType AS TicketType_1 ON TicketType.ParentTicketTypeID = TicketType_1.TicketTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN
                      TicketType AS TicketType_2 ON TicketType_1.ParentTicketTypeID = TicketType_2.TicketTypeID INNER JOIN
                      Application AS Application ON Ticket.ApplicationID = Application.ApplicationID INNER JOIN
                      Company ON Application.CompanyID = Company.CompanyID FULL OUTER JOIN
                      Application AS Application_1 ON Application.ParentApplicationID = Application_1.ApplicationID FULL OUTER JOIN
                      Application AS Application_2 ON Application_1.ParentApplicationID = Application_2.ApplicationID
WHERE     (Ticket.CreatedDate >= @StartDate)
ORDER BY Ticket.TicketNumber
 
 
 
End result looks like this:

Extract Distinct Information And Order The Results
Hi,
 
MSSQL 2000 T-SQL
 
I have a problem in extracting information pertaing to a key value and matching that key value to another transaction but the order is based on another value in the same row.

 
I've attached a sample of DB data below.
 
tran_nr ret_ref_no  msg_type description 
5111     12345        420          reversal 
5112     12345        200          auths    
5113     15236        200          auths    
5114     46587        200          auths    
5115     46587        420          reversal 
 
Requirement using the above data is to extract data where the ret_ref_no is the same for more than one row but also check that the msg_type 420 happens before the 200. Is there a way of retrieving the information in this way using the tran_nr coloumn values? The tran_nr values is basically the serial number when the transaction is wrriten away to the DB.
 
I've managed only to retrive the 1st half of my query whereby the same ret_ref_nr is being used by more then one transaction. Still need to figure out the 2nd part where the msg_type of 420 happens before the 200.
 
 
SELECT * FROM SAMPLE
WHERE ret_ref_no in
  (
    SELECT ret_ref_no FROM SAMPLE
    GROUP BY ret_ref_no HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
  )
 
Results of query
5111 12345 420 reversal 
5112 12345 200 auths    
5114 46587 200 auths    
5115 46587 420 reversal 

If someone could assist with only retreiving  the above results in bold to the query analyser i will really appreciate it.

Best Way To Order Results Sequentially Starting From Somewhere In The Middle
I'm working with SQL Server 2005, and I'm trying to sort the results based on a user selected letter. Say the user selects 'D' to filter his results. I'd like to return the results starting from D followed by E, F, G...Z, A, B, C. What I'm getting is the results for the D entries at the top of the result set, followed by A, B, C, E...Z.

A solution comes to mind that would be very long and db intensive, by querying on 'like 'D', followed by like 'E', followed by like 'F', etc, but I'm sure that there is a much more efficient way to do this. Below is the code that I'm using now.

 

 

' where @SortString = 'd' and @Test is a temp Table

 

BEGIN

Insert into @Test

Select CompanyName,ContactId, CompanyId

from vContacts where CompanyName like @SortString +'%'

Order by CompanyName

 

Insert into @Test

Select CompanyName,ContactId, CompanyId

from vContacts where CompanyName not like @SortString +'%'

Order by CompanyName

END

 

 Thanks in advance for your help

SQL7: Order Of Values In IN Clause Affects Results
Hi!
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Certain queries that work fine in SQL 6.5 and Oracle return inconsistent / inaccurate results in SQL 7 (with SP1). These queries include an IN clause with a range of values.
For example, the following query:
SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD
FROM table
WHERE columnD = 'I'
AND columnA IN (1,2,3,11,19)
go

returns a different result than this query:
SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD
FROM table
WHERE columnD = 'I'
AND columnA IN (1,3,11,2,19)
go

The only way we have stumbled upon to get accurate results consistently is to order the range values from largest to smallest:
AND columnA IN (19,11,3,2,1)

Have not seen this documented anywhere. We are in the process of re-ordering these ranges in our code, but I welcome any ideas or comments...
Thanks!

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

10  Bank of abcde
9    Bank of abcde
8    Bank of abcde
7    Bank of abcde
6    Bank of abcde
5    Bank of abcde
4    Bank of abcde
3    Bank of abcde
2    Bank 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.
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
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?

Order By Clause In View Doesn't Order.
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,

Invalid Results For Order By On Select Query Against Table Variable
I am attempting to sort the results of a query executed against a table variable in descending order.  The data is being inserted into the table variable as expected, however when I attempt to order the results in descending order, the results are incorrect.  I have included the code as well as the result set. 
 

DECLARE @tblCustomRange AS TABLE

(

   RecordID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1),

   RangeMonth INTEGER,

   RangeDay INTEGER

)
 

DECLARE @Month INTEGER

DECLARE @Day INTEGER


-- Initialize month and day variables.

SET @Month = 8

SET @Day = 11
 
-- Insert records into the table variable.
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,2)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,27)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (6,10)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (9,22)

INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange

(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (12,16)

 
-- Select everything from the table variable ordering the results by month, day in
-- descending order
 
SELECT * FROM @tblCustomRange

WHERE (RangeMonth < @Month) OR

(RangeMonth = @Month AND RangeDay <= @Day)

ORDER BY RangeMonth, RangeDay DESC

 
 
I am getting the following resultset:
 

RecordID  RangeMonth  RangeDay

-----------     -----------         -----------

2                1                 27

1                1                 2

3                6                 10

 
 
I am expecting the following resultset:
 

RecordID  RangeMonth  RangeDay

-----------     -----------         -----------

3                6                 10

2                1                 27

Order ID For Latest Order For Every Customer
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?

In-Order/Level Order Etc. Traversal Using CTE
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.

Force The &"ORDER BY&" To Be In Ascending Order??
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??

How will you use the order by in a column that distinguish in each string?
say;

id | letter

1 | ABD
2 | ABE

"select letter from table order by letter asc"

T-SQL Help With Order By
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

PK Order
I have a compiled and deployed to our clients site application, which in one case does not use ORDER BY clause in a sql statement. The assumption has been that SQL Server will always return the rows in ascending order of the PK (it is a composite PK). However, on some SQL Server machines the order is returned correctly, on others - not. I suspect that the order is defined by the way the indexing structure is built behind the scenes. The process of deploying patches to the clients' sites is difficult and very long. I am wondering if there is some SQL Server setting (stored procedure), which will rebuild the indexing structure in a way so that it uses the ascending order of the PK columns.

Thank you,
Nikolay
