Binary Sort Order
Binary sort order on SQL 7 is NOT the same as binary sort order in SQL 2000. SQL 2000 shows the databases brought over from the SQL 7 server generates a collation compatability error. I am seeing errors when running reports in Great Plains Dynamics.
Is there a work around to this?
Also why would Microsoft recommend DOCI over Binary sort order for their e-product offerings.

Dynamic Sort Column And Sort Order Not Working
I am trying to set sorting up on a DataGrid in ASP.NET 2.0. I have it working so that when you click on the column header, it sorts by that column, what I would like to do is set it up so that when you click the column header again it sorts on that field again, but in the opposite direction. I have it working using the following code in the stored procedure: CASE WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end DESC, case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'ASC' then Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end ASC, case WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, Convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end DESC, case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end ASC, case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end DESC, case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end ASC, case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end DESC, case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end ASC And I gotta tell you, that is ugly code, in my opinion. What I am trying to do is something like this: case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' then FileName end, case when @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' then FileDataID end, case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' then FileDesc when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' then VersionNotes end case when @SortOrder = 'DESC' then DESC when @SortOrder = 'ASC' then ASC end and it's not working at all, i get an error saying: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'case' when i put a comma after the end on line 5 i get: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DESC' What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help -Madrak

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. Peace. /P

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?

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?

BCP And Sort Order
I need to copy the structure and data of an existing SQL 6.5 server to one with a different sort order. Normally, I would use the transfer tool to accomplish this, but the servers are on different networks. My question is, is BCP the answer? In other words, will the data copied via BCP from the sending server be able to be copied on the recieiving server. Also, is there a way to automatically generate the BCP statements for all tables? What I would really like is to be able to get at the scripts and data files created by the transfer tool.

SQL 6.5 Sort Order
We have about 90 servers we need to change the sort order on to become standard with our CIO group. Our current sort order is dictionary order - case insensitive. We need to change to dictionary order - case insensitive - accent insensitive. I know the standard procedure is to use transfer manager or bcp all data out out to files, then re-install SQL or rebuild master. Because of the size of this project, I would like to find an easier way to do this. If anyone has any ideas, please reply. Thanks, Chris

Sort Order ID's
I'm trying to setup a duplicate of an old SQL Server 4.2 server to put in place while we upgrade the server, but I can't get the sort-order right. I know the existing server uses sort order id 40, but I can't find which sort-order that corresponds to during the install process. If anyone can give me a system table that lists all the sort orders names and id's, or can tell me what the text name for sort order 40 is, I would be very grateful. Thanks, Rob.

Unicode Sort Order
Does anyone have any experience handling mixed-character data in Unicode, especially in how to handle sorting it? For example, if I have a customer database with records from all over the world, with customer names in Chinese, Russian, Swedish, Arabic & Hebrew, and I want to generate a list of all customers who have not upgraded to the latst version yet, it will be sorted in the sort order of the locale I defined at DB installation. Say, in this case, US English. How do the Chinese, Arabic, Swedish, etc. characters get sorted? I'm interested to know if this is something that people are grappling with out there, or whether it's a non-issue. I think what's probably needed is a special Unicode mixed-character sort order, encompasing all the Unicode codepoints and sorting them in an order that's as usable as possible for the general user. (e.g. Latin characters case-sensitive, including accented characters, then Asian characters in stroke order, etc.) Or maybe serveral different mixed-character sort orders would be the thing... Any feedback would be appreciated.

Difference Between Sort Order Id 52 And 42
Hi, I have the following scenario. I have two nt machines with sql server 7 installed. On one all the default settings were assumed while on the other the default language settings was changed to South African. This causes the sort order id's to be different. ID 52 is the 1252 ISO Character set (dictonary order, case-insensitive) and ID 42 is 850 Multilingual (dictonary order, case-insensitive). The only problem so far is that I cannot back up on one machine and restore on another. My question is now what other differences there might be. How will it influence my database? We are using iso characters in both our databases. How will multilingual handle that? Any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks Sonja

Sort (ORDER BY) Problem
When I create a VIEW using the "New View..." wizard in SQL Server Express Edition, and set Sort Type to "Ascending" for the LastName column, the dataset returned is not sorted. On the other hand, if I execute a query by copying the T-SQL language from the wizard, and paste it directly into a new query, it is returned sorted as expected. Code created by the wizard is: SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT Title, LastName AS [Last Name], FirstName AS [First Name], Phone AS [Phone Number] FROM Person.Contact WHERE (Phone LIKE N'397%') ORDER BY [Last Name] Any idea why the direct query works properly, and the wizard does not?

Sql SORT Order Not Working On Numbers?
Hello all... I'm using asp to get records from an access database, verysimilar to the way datagrid would work. The title of each column in my tableis a link that alternates the sort order between ascending and descending...my problem is that text WILL change its sort order just fine but nubers arenot always in order. ie: if sort order is ASC (ascending) I might see 2000,234, 789 (should be ordered but its not). I'm guessing that ASP is handingthe string as a text string (?) and getting confused, is there a way toforce ASP into treating the string as numerals if this is the case? anyother ideas? Thanks so much.here is one of my sql commands in case you want to see it. "sort" is avariable containing the recordset to sort by depending on which link isclicked. I hope I didn't confuse the whole issue because of a lack ofcaffiene over here :)strsql = "SELECT * FROM comments ORDER BY " & sort & " DESC"Thanks of the help, much appreciated.Eno
