MS SQL Query, What's The Default Order The Rows Returned Are Sorted By?
Jan 12, 2005
i have a table and a column called req_id, i have it set as the primary key.. so if i just do SELECT * FROM table, shouldnt the rows returned be sorted by the order that the rows were inserted?
this database was improted from an access database.. when i did that in access it would return the rows in sorted order by the order the row was inserted.. but now in MS SQL, its not sorted in that order.. i can't really tell what type of order it's in
I'm reading values from a named range within an Excel spreadsheet using the Excel ODBC driver. If I ask for all columns within a range, using e.g. select * from 'named range', does the driver ensure that the returned rowset has the same column and row ordering as in the spreadsheet? In other words, if a named range on a spreadsheet is the block of cells:
name age
richard 54
jemima 27
I want to make sure that my returned rowset is not going to be:
age name
jemima 27
richard 54
I know that proper databases do not guarantee the order of returned values (unless you specify it) but since Excel is a fixed view of data I was hoping that a returned rowset of values would retain their spreadsheet ordering.
I¡¦ve got a table with the following as well as other info:
User ID DirectoryTypeID (int) Region ID (int)
I need to run a query where I could get the region ID, then, in the second column, I¡¦d get all distinct directory types within that region. For example, if I run the query:
I have a query that returns a bunch of rows. I have an sp that takes 3 of the columns in the query as parameters that I want to execute for each row. I can do that easily enough with a cursor, but I thought I'd try to eliminate one more task where I fall back on using cursors.
I import MS Excel 2003 spread sheet in MS SQL Server 2000 through MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager (rightclick on the table to be filled with dataall taskimport data). My excel file have 2000 rows and 100 columns of data. All the data are imported in relevant attributes cells in good manner. But the rows are sorted automatically. I am trying to say that first row data is match with my excel file. But second row data have gone to 7th row and 7th row have gone to 5th row like that. I need the data sequence what I have in my excel file. What is the problem occurred? How can I solve this? Can I export my MS Excel 2003 file to MS SQL Server database? Please help me. I don't have more knowledge in MS SQL Server 2000. If your answer has any query to run then please mention where should I run that query. Thanks,
i am dealing with around 14000 rows which need to be put into the sql destination.,But what i see is that the order of the rows in the desination is not the same as in the source,
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?

I have a conditional split in an SSIS package - one split is where if rows are returned according to a specific rule, then insert those rows into to a Recordset Destinationm which points to a variable of Object type.
How I can use this variable to email fellow users. For example, what I would like is if ANY rows are returned to the Object variable (1 or more), then I would like to execute an email SP that we have on our server.
I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer. Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16). Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned. If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it. 1. public DataSet GetMarketList(string region, string marketRegion)2. {3. string sql = @"SELECT a.RealEstMarket FROM MarketMap a, RegionMap b " + 4."WHERE a.RegionCode = b.RegionCode"; 5. DataSet dsMarketList = new DataSet();6. SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(intranetConnStr); 7. SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql,sqlConn);8. sqlConn.Open();9. SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); 10. try11. {12. adapter.Fill(dsMarketList); 13. String bling = adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText;//BRG 14. dsMarketList.DataSetName="RegionMarket"; 15. dsMarketList.Tables[0].TableName = "MarketList"; 16. dsMarketList.WriteXml(Server.MapPath ("myXMLFile.xml" )); // The data written to 17. myXMLFile.xml is not the same data that is returned when I run the query on line 3&4 18. // from the SQL query 19. } 20. catch(Exception e) 21. { 22. // Handle the exception (Code not shown)
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?
Hi, Can we validate the returned order of fields from a stored procedure? Infact, i am taking a query as user input and extracts the results based on the query but for that order of fields specified in a query is important. Can i check the order after the query is run i.e if this is entered "select field1,field2,field3 from table" then i need to check the order of the resultset generated. I can't check the query before the resultset is generated because a user can enter bunch of queries. Any way will work, tsql or .net app. Thanks,
Any idea why when I run a SELECT stament in Query anaylser it returns 45 rows. But when I create the exact same SQL as a view in Enterprise manager it only returns 44 rows?
The code below returns 0 rows. The statement is intended as generic statement that would return all records between a particular start and end date and on each date only between a specific start and end time. It works perfectly if the end date is greater than the start date. Unfortunately, if the start and end dates are equal (i.e, return all records on that one date and only between the specified start and end times) then no records are returned. BTW, it is also looking for matching datetimes in two tables and there really is matching data in the two tables for that particular date and times. Can anybody help resolve this?

I have a qry/dataset in a report. If the qry returns no data the report will simply show a the headers/footers and no data in the detail section. However, I need to display all zeros if the detail section ie '0', if no data is returned. How can I do that? I have SSRS 2005.
Hello and thank you taking a moment. I have created a simple login page where the user will pass credentials. I have a sqldatasource that will query a database to see if the user exists. What I would like to do is have the user click a button after entering their credentials. When the button is clicked I would like the SqlDatasource SelectCommand to fire and if there are rows returned then redirect the user to a new page. I know I can do this with ADO and a datareader with the HasRows property. But what I would eventually like to do is cache the data and then bind the cached data to a control(like a dataview) on the page the user is redirected to. If anyone can tell me how to get the Select command to fire on a button click I would be eternally grateful. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I want to select data from a table with 5.000.000 rows. It's very slowly. Do you now, how I can select only a XY number of rows? I can't use TOP in select query. User see only 20-30 rows on his page, but he can use page_up, page_down. Is possible to something as lazy load?
I have a large table with approx 250000 rows in sql 2000. I need toreturn this from an asp page but the query to return this amount ofdata causes the asp to time out before the query completes.Is there any way in ado (or another way useable from asp / vb) that Ican run the query and then fetch a number of rows at a time? I can thene.g. pass the first batch of rows back to the client and then call forthe second batch.Any thoughts appreciated.
Hi,I have a select statment that correctly returns zero rows at times.

I running a query that returns a information from many tables. I need a way to compare the row returned to the previous row. This query currently returns the requested information for everytime an item placed. I need the query to return only the most recent order information. I can do this by doing a basic loop comparing the jobmatl.item and po.order_date. If the jobmatl.item match between the current row and last row compare the dates and keep the oldest.
Declare @assembly ItemType
SET @assembly = '1110-2014'
SET @assembly = ISNULL(@assembly, '%')
SELECT DISTINCT jobmatl.item , item.description , item.drawing_nbr , jobmatl.matl_qty , itemloc.qty_on_hand , vendaddr.name , po.order_date FROM jobmatl with (nolock) inner join item with (nolock) on item.item = jobmatl.item inner join job with (nolock) on jobmatl.job = job.job inner join poitem with (nolock) on item.item = poitem.item inner join po with (nolock) on poitem.po_num = po.po_num inner join vendaddr with (nolock) on vendaddr.vend_num = po.vend_num inner join itemloc with (nolock) on itemloc.item = item.item WHERE jobmatl.job < ' 990000' AND job.item LIKE @assembly ORDER BY jobmatl.item , po.order_date
I have a report that calls a stored procedure. I want to display the number of records that the stored procedure returned. I can't seem to find an expression that will do this. Is there an expression that will display the record count for a dataset?
The following query only brings back too much data in the table - there are duplicates and the lab it shows is wrong. The problem is: AND a.calLab = f.ID in the Where statement. Some equipment does not need calibration, so, a.calDueDate = 0 AND a.calLab would be NULL or 0. tblLabs ID field has 1 - 18 (Labs) - no 0 and of course no null I need to get the rest of the data. Any suggestions? Thanks..... Zath
SELECT a.assignedID, b.Manufacturer, a.modelNumber, a.serialNumber, e.equipmentType, a.Description, c.Location, d.Status, a.modifiedDate, a.modifiedBy, a.Notes, a.Picture, f.LabName, a.calibrationRequired, a.calDate, a.CalDueDate, a.assetNumber, a.ID FROM tblEquipments a, tblManufacturers b, tblLocation c, tblStatus d, tblEquipment_Type e, tblLabs f WHERE a.manufacturer = b.manufacturerID AND a.location = c.locationID AND a.Status = d.statusID AND a.EquipmentType = e.ID AND (a.calLab = f.ID or a.calLab Is NULL or a.calLab = 0) ORDER BY a.ID
hello, i have a stored procedure SELECT CommentID, UserName, CommentingDate FROM Comm WHERE PictureID = @PictureID ORDER BY CommentingDate DESC witch shows me the users who commented a Picture with PictureID = x I need to add two rows at that stored procedure, one to show the number of total comments at that picutre (like counting the number of rows returned) and the second to show count the DISTINCT users who commented that picture I tryied with COUNT but i have to use GROUP BY and i don't think this is good... I hope you understand... please help me, thanks
Is there a way to limit the number of rows returned by a SqlDataReader? I know I can do it by modifying the Stored Procedure, but I'd rather not modify a procedure that is used in multiple apps. I'm hoping there is something easy like setting SqlDataReader.RowsReturned = 100, but that might be too easy to hope for.
I have my SQLDataSource configured as shown in the picture. I ran the Execute Query and input an ID I know is in the database and it returned nothing. I ran into this probelm on another part of my site and i got it working by using 2 SQLDataSources, but im trying to keep the amount of code down.
As a part of my unpaid internship, I am creating a ASP.NET interface for a MS SQL Server 2000. The table I am having problems with has over 750,000 rows by 26 columns. There isn't a primary key. It stores a transaction dump from another primitive Database server.
Problem:
When perform a query I get one set of results. I run the same query again after a short wait and the rows returned are in a different order. The majority of the rows returned are the same ones returned in the previous query. Only, some rows may be missing and the order may change.
I really wasn't surprised by some duplicate rows. I am confused why they are showing up in a different order and the above mentioned inconsistancy in results.
I thought I was having problems with my Repeater Control; however, SQL Query Analyzer returns the same results.
Given the following results: col0 col1 col2 THY 2,265,850 31 VIE 1,474,994 20 RID 1,221,800 17 ACC 1,124,335 15 FEI 445,184 6 DIR 433,783 6 ROM 324,365 4
What is the best way in a query to get the rank of the returned rows by either col1 or col2. In other words who's the number 1,2,3 etc...
total count col0 = 7 total col1 = 7,290,310 total col2 (would eqaul 100%)= 99%
Looking for a mathmatical solution to this any help would be appreciated.
I have to write an SQL Server 2000 stored procedure that returns rows from a table (a SELECT with an ORDER BY). A front end system calls the stored procedure and displays the returned rows. If there is more than one screen's worth of data (ie more than 20 rows returned from the table) then there is a requirement that the stored procedure only returns the rows for the screen ie, for screen 1 I need to return rows 1-20, for screen2 I need to return rows 21-40, screen 3 = rows 41-60.
The screen number will be passed into the stored procedure so I can work out what rows to return, the only problem is how can I tell SQL Server to only select the required rows (ie, say rows 21 to 40 from the returned rows). I can't see any arguments that allow selective rows to be returned (apart from TOP).
Hello, I have a question on sql stored procedures. I have such a procedure, which returnes me rows with ID-s. Then in my asp.net page I make from that Id-s a string like
SELECT * FROM [eai.Documents] WHERE CategoryId=11 OR CategoryId=16 OR CategoryId=18.
My question is: Can I do the same in my stored procedure? (without sending it to page) Here is it:
set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[eai.GetSubCategoriesById] ( @Id int ) AS declare @path varchar(100); SELECT @path=Path FROM [eai.FileCategories] WHERE Id = @Id; SELECT Id, ParentCategoryId, Name, NumActiveAds FROM [eai.FileCategories] WHERE Path LIKE @Path + '%' ORDER BY Path
fileCategories table: (for information)Here is the screenshot of the table (10 kb )http://eai.w2o.ru/screen1.gif
