select DATENAME(WEEKDAY,[date]) as DAY, sum(earnings) as Earnings
from myTable
where DATENAME(WEEKDAY,[date]
in ('monday','tuesday','wednesday','thursday','friday')
group by DATENAME(WEEKDAY,[date])
order by DAY
this query works very well except the last line. the last line causes SQL-Server to order the days in an alphabetical order.What do I have to do that SQL-Server orders the days according to their natural appearance (monday, tuesday, wednesday, thurs......)
Hi! Im experiencing problems with datepart(weekday,...) function. In particular with week 54 of 2000... (by the way, dont make a bet about that, because Jan 1st. was saturday (last day of week) and year 2000 was a leap year!!!, so Dec 31 became the one and only case of 54 weeks... in our calendar). Is there a way I can fix sunday as first day of week, instead using SET DATEFIRST in every procedure? (because "somebody" puts MONDAY as a default in spanish) Thanx in advance, Csar.
I'm going crazy tring to figure out how to generate a report that execute a Store procedure and then give me a total Per WeekDay and group it by Part Number.
Sql server 2000 -sql query analyzerselect datename(dw,'01-01-2006')returns sundayNow I do:set language danishselect datename(dw,'01-01-2006')returns sonday. But it should be sndag. Same goes forsaturday/lordag/lrdagTried substring'ing and ascii'ing/unicode'ing and it is AFAIK an o insteadof the special danish character .Is this a "feature" or am I doing something wrong?I "solved" it by doingselect case DATENAME(dw,'01-01-2006') WHEN 'lordag' THEN 'lrdag' WHEN'sondag' THEN 'sndag' ELSE DATENAME(dw,'01-01-2006') ENDbut it sure aint pretty./jim
I have a transaction file containing a year's worth of transactions with a date/time field that tells me when the transaction took place. I'd like to write a view (or perhaps multiple views) that tells me the average number of transactions per weekday.
I've been messing around with DATEPART and I can calculate the *total* number of transactions that took place on a Monday, for example, but I can't figure how to do the *average* number. My problem seems to be calculating the number of Mondays there were in the year. Or overthinking it.
Hi All,In ASP.Net, I am passing a date as a string formatted as yyyymmdd (e.g. 20080219) via an SqlParameter as follows:aSqlParams(0) = New SqlParameter("@DepartDate", inpDepartDate.Value)In the Stored Procedure (SP) I am using DATEPART(dw, @DepartDate).If I execute the SP from within SQL Server and enter a date, formatted as above, as tha value for the Parameter @DepartDate then DatePart returns the correct value (3).If I use the SP via ASP.Net it returns a value which is 1 less (2). When I execute the SP manually the resultant EXEC statement uses "@DepartDate = N'20080219'". Can something similar be done in ASP.Net when setting the SqlParameter? Thank you,
In a table, I store an integer to represent a day of the week (1 = sunday ) and then in procedures, compare that to datepart(dw, getdate()) to do alternative tasks on certain days.
If I have the number 1, is there a built in function to convert that to sunday or should one just write a function to do just that?
I get May 10th! The only thing that changes is the toString. Why are the two values different? I tried with different expressions and the difference arises when i start using Weekday(Today(), somevalue).
The result of Weekday should be independent from regional settings as I am forcing Sunday to be the first day of the week, right?
I have a a grid (Fig-1) where i have LineID and corresponding RankValue. I want to sort out the Grid like (Fig-2) where It will be sorted based on Rank Value(Higher to lower) but LineID group should maintain. I am using SqlServer 2008.
I have the following statement that is working just fine:
SQL = "select* from products GROUP BY name ORDER BY price"
I have many products with the same name but with different prices and I want to display unique records along with other information but I want to display the cheapest product first. It is displaying the first record in the table with that name but not the cheapest distinct record in the list of all distinct product names. Not sure of the above makes sense so this is the kind of data in the table.
Hello, I'm trying to find the most optimal way to perform a trickyquery. I'm hoping this is some sort of standard problem that has beensolved before, but I'm not finding anything too useful so far. I havea solution that works (using subqueries), but is pretty slow.Assume I have two tables:[Item]ItemID int (Primary Key)ItemSourceID intItemUniversalKey uniqueidentifierPrice int[Source]ItemSourceIDPriorityI'm looking for a set of ItemIDs that match a query to the Price(something like Price < 30), with a unique ItemUniversalKey, taking thefirst item with each key according to Source.Priority.So, given Item rows like this:1 2 [key_one] 152 2 [key_two] 253 1 [key_one] 15and Source rows like this:1 12 2I want results like this:2 2 [key_two] 253 1 [key_one] 15Row 1 in Item would be eliminated because it shares an ItemUniversalKeywith row 3, and row 3's Source.Priority is lower than row 1.Help!?
Looking in a various resources, i see that a conversation group guarantees receiving messages EOID, which means that each message will be received only once, and that messages will be received in the order they were sent.
However, the documentation explicitly states that only dialogs guarantee messages order. So, Im a little bit confused, what's the "In-Order" stand for in "Exactly Once In Order"?
CREATE TABLE #Turnover ( location varchar(50), Total int )
insert into #Turnover (location,Total) values('A', 500) insert into #Turnover (location,Total) values('AB', 200) insert into #Turnover (location,Total) values('ABC', 100) insert into #Turnover (location,Total) values('BA', 100) insert into #Turnover (location,Total) values('BAC', 500) insert into #Turnover (location,Total) values('BAM', 100)
Now i want output order by total but same time i want to create two groups. i.e. location starting with A and order by total and after locations starting with B and order by total.
Using SQL Server 2005 (9.0.3042), I can not get a full-text search query to work with order by or group by. For example, if I run the following query...
SELECT s.networkID, i.interID
FROM Interactions i
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Interactions, text, 'ipo') t ON t.[key] = i.interID
INNER JOIN Sessions s ON i.sessionID = s.sessionID
WHERE i.startTime BETWEEN 1051772400000 AND 1054537199000
It returns two rows immediately.
If I add an "order by" or "group by" like...
SELECT s.networkID, i.interID
FROM Interactions i
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Interactions, text, 'ipo') t ON t.[key] = i.interID
INNER JOIN Sessions s ON i.sessionID = s.sessionID
WHERE i.startTime BETWEEN 1051772400000 AND 1054537199000
ORDER BY s.networkID, i.interID
The CPU shoots to 100% and I have to kill the query. I have tried many variations of the above and I can not get the query to work with order by or group by. Is this a bug in SQL Server? Is there a fix or workaround?
In Outer join, I would like to add the outer columns that don't exist in the right table for each order number. So currently the columns that don't exist in the right table only appear once for the entire set. How can I go about adding PCity, PState to each order group, so that PCity and PState would be added as null rows to each group of orders?
if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#left_table') is not null drop table #left_table; if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#right_table') is not null drop table #right_table; create table #left_table
I have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...
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?
I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express
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)
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?
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?
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 SelectCommand="SELECT [Order_ID], [Customer_Id], [Date_ordered], [status] FROM [tbl_order]WHERE (([Date_ordered] >= @Date_ordered OR @Date_ordered IS NULL) AND ([Date_ordered] <= @Date_ordered2 OR @Date_ordered2 IS NULL OR (Order_ID=ISNULL(@OrderID_ID,Order_ID) OR @Order_ID IS NULL))"> 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! Thanks Jez
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!
