Can someone tell me why SQL seems to ignore my order by clause?
I tried to run through the debugger, but the debugger stops at the
select statement line and then returns the result set; so, I have no
idea how it is evaluating the order by clause.
THANK YOU!

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?
In my BM_Maps subform, there is a combo box called called Borders. I want the borders to be filtered based on product series, so if the user picks "City Guide", they only get city guide borders, so I have added a table called Product_Series_X_Border which has the product series and border id.
I have a query which joins two tables, and I've ordered it by the border name, which works fine, until I add a where clause for the product series from the other table. I have attached a screengrab which I hope works. I have tried joining other tables but it still doesn't work. Is there any other way I can order by border name with the where clause? I've tested with individual product series as the where clause with the same result.
the select statement in the join orders the numbers asc and if you run everything below the case statement it works, but as you run the whole thing the order is no longer there.
I need the order to work. What am I missing?

Hello all,The followinq qurey returns sometimes values of null to some of this columns, byK,byT,byD. the column F wil not contains any nulls, and 0 will be populated in it at any case of .Now, the problem is that when sorting out F the sort will not work when there is null parameters in byK because teh fact that a 0 values is greater then NULL value, and the sort of F will not take in considiration. So I guess the question is how can I sort NULL values and 0 values to be the same weight in the sort by command? SELECT A.gym_id as gym,s_id, week, gym_name, boxer, league, sum(points) points,sum(byK)as byK, sum(byT) as byT,sum(byPoints) as byPoints , sum(byD) as byD, count(C.gym) as F FROM A inner JOIN B ON A.gym_id = B.gym_id left JOIN C ON A.gym_id = C.gym WHERE (B.l_id = ?text group by A.gym_id order by points DESC,byK DESC,byT DESC, byPoints DESC, byD DESC,F ASC
I'm getting this "invalid descriptor index" exception while trying to fetch a record from the table. The query is "select * from <tablename> where <columnname> = 'xyz'". The column name is correct and indeed a record with 'xyz' value exists. The record is getting fetched too...! But I'm having this particular error while trying to retrieve a couple of fields with rs.getString(). The order of columns in the table is same as the order in which I'm retrieving them. And I'm not facing any problem retrieving another field which has width of 200 characters. I'll be very grateful indeed if someone can help me out of this particular problem...
Hi, A quick background on the problem; My company is in the process of a migration from Windows Advanced Server 2K, SQL 2K to Server 2003 and SQL 2005. I'm not certain of the exact process used by our DBA to convert the DB, but I can access it, and all my tables/views/sprocs appear to be in the right place. I copied all my web files to our new server after the DBA was done with her job, made a new user on the new instance of SQL server, changed a few connection strings in my global.asa and global.asax, and ta-dah! Just like magic, the new site opened on our new servers without much resistance. Except.... None of the content on our sites is sorted. I cannot seem to get ORDER BY statements to work at all. They appear to be disregarded by SQL server when not in MODIFY mode for a particular view (in SQL Server Management Studio). So, when I MODIFY a view, add criteria (NOT SORT), save the changes, then OPEN, the criteria is respected. The filter is applied. BUT... If I MODIFY a view and add a SORT using ORDER BY (by hand or with the Manager) the sort is NEVER respected when the view is Opened through the manager or in my code. If I open any sorted view and then click MODIFY, and then RUN (without making ANY changes), the sort works with no problem whatsoever. To summarize/restate my case, if I OPEN any view in the system that has an ORDER BY criteria, the sort is NOT APPLIED. If I instead right-click and MODIFY, then click RUN, the SORT is APPLIED. I've tried sorting datetime and text fields, all with the same results - none. This single dumb issue has been delaying the migration of our servers for days! Can anyone help?
when i try the following SQL batch, I get a result-set which is not order by datetime column 'out_date',but if I delete clause INTO #fifo_temp, I get a correct result with correct order.
who can help me?thanks in advance ... select tag,stuff_id,stuff_name,cast(out_id as char(10)) as out_id,out_number,out_date,out_qty,remark INTO #fifo_temp from ##stuff_fifo UNION select tag,stuff_id,stuff_name,out_id,null,out_date,quant ity,remark from acc_cost.dbo.stuff_out where tag='A' and left(out_id,3) in ('XSA','TAP') ORDER BY out_date
DROP TABLE ##stuff_fifo select * from #fifo_temp
the following can get a correct result:
select tag,stuff_id,stuff_name,cast(out_id as char(10)) as out_id,out_number,out_date,out_qty,remark from ##stuff_fifo UNION select tag,stuff_id,stuff_name,out_id,null,out_date,quant ity,remark from acc_cost.dbo.stuff_out where tag='A' and left(out_id,3) in ('XSA','TAP') ORDER BY out_date
Hello,I have an add stored procedure in Yukon (would work in 2000 too), where I select the ID from the table to make sure that it doesn't already have the data. So it looks like:create procedure ....set transaction isolation level serializablebegin transactiondeclare @ID intselect @ID = rowid from tblBusinessInformation where Name = @Name and Rules = @Rulesif ( @ID is NULL ) begin insert into tblBusinessInformation (..) values (@Name, @Rules) endcommit transactionThe problem is the values could be:Name RulesNULL 'Test''Test' NULL'Test' 'Test'When one of the values was NULL, it would never select the ID, unless I changed it to "where Name is @Name", and then it worked, because where Name is NULL, which is correct in SQL; so how do I allow for both; I can use the CLR, but would like to avoid rewriting the proc if possible, and I thought that was to work...Thanks.
I've got this SP:CREATE PROCEDUREEWF_spCustom_AddProfiles_CompanyYear@prmSchoolYear char(11)ASSELECTContactIDFROMdbo.EWF_tblCustom_CompanyProfileWHERESchoolYear = @prmSchoolYearI'd like to be able to reference that in the where clause of anotherSP. Is that possible?I'd like to end up with something like this:CREATE PROCEDUREMyNewProc@prmSchoolYear2 char(11)ASSELECTContactID, SomeOtherFieldsFROMtblContactWHEREContactID IN (exec EWF_spCustom_AddProfiles_CompanyYear@prmSchoolYear2)How would I make that happen?If this isn't possible, what else might I try?Thanks much for any pointers.JeremyPS: I accidentally crossposted this in another group(http://tinyurl.com/gksq4) thinking it was this one. Sorry for that.
Hi, I need to use parameters with the IN clause in a SQL statement like: select * from tableX where field IN (1,2,3,4) I don't know how to do that. I'm using SQLServer and OleDB.
I want to export an SQL Server table to an Excel Spreadsheet driven by a web interface. I am using Cold Fusion to call a SQL Server Stored procedure. The SP accepts a variable (IDlist) from the web page and sets this to a Global Variable.
The SP then executes a DTS package to export to Excel. The DTS package uses the Global variable in the SQL Query thus:
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE tblPropertyRegister.IDProperty IN (?);
This works fine when I pass one single ID (@outIDlist = "20") into the stored procedure. But it returns no records when I pass multiple IDs (@outIDlist = "19, 20, 21") into the stored procedure. It works fine also if I "hard code" the IDlist into the DTS query (eg WHERE tblPropertyRegister.IDProperty IN (19, 20, 21);). The problem appears to be in the setting of the global variable in the stored procedure.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. TIA
This fails with the error "cannot convert varchar to numeric". I believe since ColumnA is numeric, its trying to convert the dynamic paramter to numeric leading to the failure.
has someone implemented an In clause as a parameter? Please do not tell me that I can append the values as string and construct a dynamic query. I want to use a parameterized version. I will be calling this repeatedly and dont want recompile overhead.
From MS Dynamics NAV 2013 I get a lot of querries that have a where clause like this:
where [Field1] like @p1 and [Field1] < @p2. Field1 is the only primary key field and clustered index. The query also has a TOP 50 clause. @p1 is always a "Starts-With"-value (something like N'abc%').
The query plan uses a clustered index seek but the number of reads look more like a clustered index scan.
Depending on the table size I see 1M or more reads for these querries.
If I rebuild the query in SSMS, but replace the paramerters with actual values I only see a few reads.
I was able to reproduce the issue with a temp table. See code below.
Is there a way to make SQL Server use another strategy when using the parameterized query?
SQL Server Version is 11.0.3401. if object_id('tempdb..#tbl') is not null drop table #tbl; create table #tbl ( [No] nvarchar(20) ,[Description1] nvarchar(250)
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));
I'm pretty new to DTS, so forgive me if this is basic. I created a simple DTS package to run a query and export it to a text file. I can execute the package fine from my workstation through EM, but when I try to execute the job to run the package I get this error: Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Error opening datafile: Access is denied.
I think that maybe SQL Agent doesn't have the right permissions to write to that network drive. What should the permissions be?
This is probably very simple, but I can't get passed this problem.
I have a report in MS Access that uses info generated by a query. One of the text fields in the query contains either the word 'Select' or the name of a course. The report should display a space if the value is 'Select', or the actual value of the field in any other case. The field can never contain a null value.
I've used: =IIf([optVoc1]="Select","",[optVoc1]) in the text box on the report, but this only returns #error regardless of the actual content of the field.
I create and schedule a SQL job to run every minute to update a table base on certain condition but it doesn't work. Job history says successful every time but the table doesn't get updated.
However if I move it to Query Analyzer and run it under dba, it will work. Thinking that it may have to do with the user the job run as, I then change run as user from self to dba. But still SQL job won't update my table.
Anything about user permission or security that I can check? Or it there any other possibility?
When I run the select its fine but I cannot delete..... i have done this many times and it has worked.... I cannot see the error what am i missing

When I try to install the problem I get the following error.
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The log tells me nothing useful. I can't start the thing manually because after clicking cancel on the error message, the installer proceeds to roll back the installation.

I try to copy a DB from one server to another. On the target server an older version of the DB has been deleted and I now try to attach the new version using "sp_attach_db DBname, Filelocation", but I always get an error "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'D:mssql7dataAgency_log.ldf' may be incorrect" "Database 'Agency' cannot be Created"
To me it seems that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted). I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create a new database and replace the mdf file, but nothing works.
I wanted to create a new trigger, but Enterprise Manager tells me about an "Incorrect syntax near @UpdatedByID, line 28". I double-checked everything, but it still does not work :mad: .
Any hints :confused: ?

I'm combining first name, last name, middle name, and an ID number together into an alias. Then I need to match that alias with a variable passed to the page (its a search results page). The problem is it claims that there is no table with the name of my alias. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
A mockup of the SQL looks like this:
SELECT UserID, Last_Name + ', ' + First_Name + ' ' + Middle_Name + '.' AS name FROM Table WHERE name LIKE 'variable%'
Everything looks right with the results, if I take out the WHERE clause it has name displayed properly and joined together with the rest of the data in the results properly.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!

I have a drill through that passes four parameters. Three are passed from the current selections in that reports parameters and the fourth needs to be the customer name they click on in the body of the report so it's passed as Fields!fieldname.Value. When I click on the customer name, the drillthough fires but the report simply doesn't load. If I remove the parameter from the field clicked on and just pass the three parameters, it goes to the drill through correctly and that fourth parameter just sets to the default for that parameter in that report.
I can then simply check that parameter and select the value from the list that is exactly the same as the value I was attempting to pass it in the drill through and report refreshes correctly.
Whatever it is, is something in the manner that the value is passed in the drill through specifically.
Hello, I've rescued a MDF and LDF files off a client's old server, and I wanted to attach it to our own, but I can't seem to get the command to work, basically I have these two files, which I've dropped on our server:
So when I do a SP_ATTACH_SINGLE_FILE_DB 'somedb','C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMYCLIENTNAME_Data.MDF'
It says the LDF path my be incorrect, and that there's two other files that are missing: MYCLIENTNAME_LOG (no extension) extra_log (no extension)
I thought the whole point of the command is that you only need a single file? Its very hard to go back to the client's old server and try to find these two files, and it doesn't really matter if we loose a bit of data, so long as the bulk of it is available.
Update: I think I've found the answer...its not possible to do this, it really needs all the log files. Any workarounds?
