UNION: Select Order

Aug 31, 2007

i have 2 selects:

select * from view_veiculos where nome_marc like '%fiat%' and ano='2001'
union
select * from view_veiculos where nome_marc like '%fiat%'

when i execute it on sql server, i get the following results:
id 1 _______ ano 2004
id 2 _______ ano 2001

the row with ano 2004 is before the row with ano 2001
the problem is that id like it to be ordered following the select order, which means that 2001 should be displayed before 2004,
like that:

id 1 _______ ano 2001
id 2 _______ ano 2004

all the results from the first select from the query need to be placed before the results from the second query.

how can i make it ?

thanks for all

Multiple Order By Statements In Union Select

Jan 20, 2005

I'm new to SQL stored procedures, but I'm looking to be able to select order by statement.

declare @OrderBy
@OrderBy = 'first_name'

Select first_name,last_name from table1
Union
Select first_name,last_name from table2

if @OrderBy = 'first_name' begin
Order By first_name
else
Order By last_name
end

You'll have to excuse my if statement if the syntax is incorrect (used to only writing asp ifs :P). Thanks for any help

UNION ALL And ORDER BYs

Feb 27, 2008

Hi

I have two tables which I'm combining.

Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1
union all
Select CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2
order by startDt


This works fine, unfortunately, my problem is I only want to display the first latest customer. In a Union All, how do i distinguish whether I'm ordering the table it is trying to union or the actual unioned table tiself?

For example, this does not work.

Select employeeID as id, startDt as startDate from Table1
union all
Select top 1 CustomerID as id, startDt as startDate from Table2
order by startDt desc
order by startDt

Dynamic ORDER BY And UNION

May 13, 2008

Hello,

I am trying to use dynamic ORDER BY with UNION in a stored procedure but I keep getting this error message:

ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator.

The ORDER BY works fine without the UNION, and the UNION works fine without the dynamic ORDER BY (just putting an ORDER BY works fine)

Here is the whole query in case this helps, thank you

Top Clause , Union And Order By

Dec 7, 2007

Hi,

I'm currently have a problem with a query using a top clause. When I run it by itself as a single query, I have no problems and the results are valid. However, if I try duplicate the query after a union clause, the order by ... desc doesn't order properly.

The following is the query I'm using along with the results. Then I'll have the query I was trying to unite and the results (date ranges selected were the same in both):

QUERY 1

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=?
and s.ldate<=?
and v.mdtid=20411

order by s.ldate desc


RESULTS 1

DATE MDT IDPU Odometer DO Odometer Total Miles
12/6/2007 2041112810.6 12874.5 63.9

QUERY 2 (with Union)

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=[From Date,Date]
and s.ldate<=[To Date,Date]
and v.mdtid=20411

Union

select top 1 (s.ldate), v.mdtid, po.odometer, pi.odometer, (pi.odometer-po.odometer) as 'Total Miles'

from EventStrings ES

JOIN schedules s
ON ES.SchId=S.SchId
JOIN vehicles v
ON v.vehicleid=es.vehicleid
JOIN Events PO
ON PO.schid=es.schid
AND PO.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND po.activity=4
JOIN Events PI
ON PI.schid=es.schid
AND PI.EvStrId=ES.EvStrId
AND pi.activity=3

WHERE es.providerid in (0,1,4)
and s.ldate>=?

RESULTS 2

1/2/2007 2642 193652.6193817 164.4

As you can see, the results are sorted very differently. Is there any way to have the order by apply to both queries?

Thanks!

Order By In Subquery + UNION

Jul 20, 2005

All,I've seen several posts regarding using UNION or UNION ALL to mashtogether two or more resultsets into a single result set, but can'tseem to find enough info here to help me answer my particularquestion.I have a stored procedure that gets the column names in a particularformat (i.e. "chassis_id"|"chassis_description"|"modify_date") as wellas actual data for a given table (in a quote-separated, pipe-delimitedmanner i.e. "1"|"description for the chassis"|"2004-09-08").I'd like to get both of these resultsets and mash them together. Thisworks, but when I need to order the second resultset (i.e. select *from chassis order by chassis_id), SQL Server returns an errorcomplaining about the chassis_id column name (invalid column name'chassis_id') in the Order By clause.From what I can tell, I'm using the UNION and Order By in correctly,but I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with it. If I take out the OrderBy, everything works great. Although I would like to be able to ordermy second resultset (in the same sproc) if possible.The actual queries I'm running are actually quite long, but here's onethat's a bit shorter to help illustrate:SELECT '"app_group_id"|"app_group_name"|"create_date"|"create_by"|"modify_date"|"modify_by"'UNION ALLSELECT + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar,app_group_id), '') + '|'+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 1))), 1,0)+ '"' + ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar(1000), +REPLACE(CONVERT(nvarchar(4000),app_group_name), '"', '""')), '') +'"|'+ SUBSTRING(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar, 2))), 1,0)FROM app_grouporder by app_group_idThank for any help on this./bc

ORDER BY In Subquery Of A UNION Fails ???

Mar 1, 2006

Hi all,

I have the following UNION ALL statement that is my attempt to gather data for the past 5 weekdays (adding a "dummy" row for today's data).

I want the final output to end up in descending order, so for today, I would want today first, then Tuesday, then Monday, then Friday, then Thursday (provided there is data for each sequential day - if not, you get the idea, I want to select back to get the latest 5 days, most recent to oldest).

This select fails, because it doesn't like the ORDER BY in the subqueryselect
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight
UNION ALL
(select top 4
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END as DOW,
CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight
from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc )

I know you can't use an ORDER BY in a subquery, UNLESS the subquery also uses a TOP n (which this one does)...but does anyone know why this isn't liking my code?

I got the select to work the way I want it to by doing the following (really UGLY) code...SELECT U.DOW, U.Freight FROM
((select
GETDATE() as [OrderDate],
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, GETDATE()) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END AS Dow, 'N/A' AS Freight )
UNION ALL
(select h.OrderDate as [OrderDate], h.DOW, h.Freight FROM
(select top 4
[OrderDate] as [OrderDate],
CASE
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Monday' THEN
'MON'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Tuesday' THEN
'TUES'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Wednesday' THEN
'WED'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Thursday' THEN
'THUR'
WHEN DATENAME(dw, [OrderDate]) = 'Friday' THEN
'FRI'
END as DOW,
CAST(CONVERT(int, (Freight * 100)) as VARCHAR(10)) as Freight
from Northwind.dbo.orders where employeeid = 9 order by [OrderDate] desc ) H)) U
order by OrderDate descbut am still confounded about why my original sub-select is rejected with such impunity.

My confusion seems likely related to understanding the set theory or basic concepts of the building of the select/Union rather than the way I am using the ORDER BY syntax, but I just can't seem to explain it to myself.

Thoughts?
Thanks!

Order By In Union - Data In 2 Tables

Feb 10, 2015

This query works perfectly and orders by just as I need

Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID
#Uno.Address,
#Uno.shippingInfo
FROM #Uno

[Code] ....

However, when I use it in a Union All so I can pull data from 2 diff tables, the order by statement no longer works. How can I order by data in 2 tables?

Code:
Select
'1st' As [Type],
#Uno.ID
#Uno.Address,

Writing Union Statement With 2 Order By's

Jun 20, 2008

Hi,

I'm trying to write a UNION statement with 2 selects and can't figure out for the life of me how to do it.


select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY dateJoined
UNION
select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY lastLogin

The union works fine without the order by's, but I really need the order by's in there and I don't understand why its so difficult to do. Surely there must be some other strategy?


Any help is much appreciated.. thanks!!

Query Multiple Tables - Union/Order By

Oct 25, 2007

Hi!

I'm trying to get the results from three different tables, where they have some of the same results. I'm only interested in where they match and then trying to order by date (that's in three columns - M, D, Y). I read previous post in 9/07 but the result doesn't seem to order correctly. It does not have any rhyme or reason to the outputed results as it bounces back and forth through Oct, Nov and Dec posting and throughout all three tables. Here's my query below. Any ideas how I can get my ordering correct for all three tables to display all Oct, all Nov and all Dec?

Thanks so much

select date3, date2, date1, who, what
from
(
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from shows
union
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from shares
union
select date3, date2, date1, who, what from soiree

a order by date3, date2, date1

Order Converted Dates In Union Query

Jun 15, 2006

I have the following as part of a union query:

CONVERT(CHAR(8), r.RRDate, 1) AS [Date]

I also want to order by date but when I do that it doesn't order correctly because of the conversion to char data type (for example, it puts 6/15/05 before 9/22/04 because it only looks at the first number(s) and not the year). If I try to cast it back to smalldatetime in the order by clause it tells me that ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION operator. I get the same message if I try putting just "r.RRDate" in the ORDER BY clause. It's not that big of a deal - I can lose the formatting on the date if I need to to get it to sort correctly, but this query gets used frequently and I'd like to keep the formatting if possible.

Thanks,

Dave

Default Sort Order - Open Table - Select Without Order By

Mar 27, 2008

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.

Specify Order For Select Results, Order By: Help!

Nov 17, 2006

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,

Sum A Union Select

Mar 21, 2008

Hi all
I'm new to SQL Server 2005 and its queries. I've created a DB that stores bonusses. For example, a person goes out with usually 4 other people, and does their work. The first person is the engineer, the second is the team leader, and the third and forth is the helpers. According to the number of notes they capture for that day, they get a bonus. if 3 notes has been done for the day, the enigeer gets 100 bucks per note, aka 300 bucks - 3 * 100 = 300. the team leader gets half of it, 150, and the helpers get each half of that, 75 and 75.
 in a select query i did the match/calculation
now i want to add everything up to get a total, 300+150+75+75 - how does one do it, and write it to a table? Note: The amount of people can change, the role of the person can change, so a helper can be a team leader or engineer as well, and the amount also changes depending on performance.DECLARE @BonusID int;
SET @BonusID = '1';


SELECT bd.BonusDetailID, bd.BonusID, u.Name, u.Surname, r.Role, b.Notes * a.Amount AS Total, bd.DateModified
FROM tblBonusDetails AS bd INNER JOIN
tblBonusses AS b ON bd.BonusID = b.BonusID INNER JOIN
tblUsers AS u ON bd.UserID = u.UserID INNER JOIN
tblAmounts AS a ON b.AmountID = a.AmountID INNER JOIN
tblRoles AS r ON bd.RoleID = r.RoleID
WHERE (bd.BonusID = @BonusID) AND (r.Role = 'Surveyor')

UNION

SELECT bd.BonusDetailID, bd.BonusID, u.Name, u.Surname, r.Role, (b.Notes * a.Amount)/2 AS Total, bd.DateModified
FROM tblBonusDetails AS bd INNER JOIN
tblBonusses AS b ON bd.BonusID = b.BonusID INNER JOIN
tblUsers AS u ON bd.UserID = u.UserID INNER JOIN
tblAmounts AS a ON b.AmountID = a.AmountID INNER JOIN
tblRoles AS r ON bd.RoleID = r.RoleID
WHERE (bd.BonusID = @BonusID) AND (r.Role = 'Team Leader')

UNION

SELECT bd.BonusDetailID, bd.BonusID, u.Name, u.Surname, r.Role, ((b.Notes * a.Amount)/2)/2 AS Total, bd.DateModified
FROM tblBonusDetails AS bd INNER JOIN
tblBonusses AS b ON bd.BonusID = b.BonusID INNER JOIN

tblAmounts AS a ON b.AmountID = a.AmountID INNER JOIN
tblRoles AS r ON bd.RoleID = r.RoleID
WHERE (bd.BonusID = @BonusID) AND (r.Role = 'Helper')

ORDER BY Total DESC

IF SELECT UNION

Jul 23, 2005

Using SQL 2000...tblCustomer:CustomerID intCompanyName varchar(20)HasRetailStores bitHasWholesaleStores bitHasOtherStores bittblInvoiceMessages:MessageID intMessageText varchar(100)CustomerID intAllRetailStores bitAllWholesaleStores bitAllOtherStores bitAllStores bitIsActive bitThe Invoice Messages are text blocks which will be added to invoicesgoing out to customers. A customer can have Retail stores, Wholesalestores, and/or Other Stores. The messages can go to only thosecustomers with a specific type of store, or all customers, or to aspecific customer. It is important to note that a customer can have 1,2 or all 3 types of stores. Here are a couple of sample entries in theinvoice messages table:tblInovoiceMessages1,For Customers with Retail and Wholesale Stores,0,1,1,0,02,Only For Customer # 10,10,0,0,0,0....Attempt #1 (IF SELECT UNION SELECT)IF (SELECT TC.HasRetailDestinationsFROM tblCustomer TCWHERE TC.CustomerID = @CustomerID) = 1SELECT *FROM tblInvoiceMessages IMWHERE (IM.IsActive = 1) AND (IM.AllRetailStores = 1)UNIONSELECT *FROM tblInvoiceMessages IMWHERE (IM.IsActive = 1) AND (IM.CustomerID = @CustomerID)Attempt #1 checks if the Customer has retail stores, and if it does,returns all messages for Retail Stores. The second Select statementchecks for all messages designated for that particular Customer. I useUnion to combine the tables (which have identical structures) and itworks great.Attempt #2 (IF SELECT UNION SELECT UNION IF SELECT)IF (SELECT TC.HasRetailStoresFROM tblCustomer TCWHERE TC.CustomerID = @CustomerID) = 1SELECT *FROM tblInvoiceMessages IMWHERE (IM.IsActive = 1) AND (IM.AllRetailStores = 1)UNIONSELECT *FROM tblInvoiceMessages IMWHERE (IM.IsActive = 1) AND (IM.CustomerID = @CustomerID)UNIONIF (SELECT TC.HasWholesaleStoresFROM tblCustomer TCWHERE TC.CustomerID = @CustomerID) = 1SELECT *FROM tblInvoiceMessages IMWHERE (IM.IsActive = 1) AND (IM.AllWholesaleStores = 1)Attempt #2 is the same as Attempt#1 except that I attempt to Unionanother If Select query to the first two queries. This attemptgenerates:Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 12Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IF'.I have tested each individual If Select statement, and they all returnproper results. However, anytime I attempt to Union more than 1 IfSelect statement together, I get the Msg 156 error. Is there somelimitation that I am not aware of?

ADO.NET && SELECT ... UNION Issue???

Feb 3, 2007

Hi,
I have discovered something weird.
I prepared a dataset that consists of a table adapter which has a select command of type stored proc. My stored procedure performs a select on a table1 and then table2 using UNION. My stored proc is running perfectly in the SQL Management studio (SQL2005) - no questions.
In Visual Studio when I test my dataset querying my tableadapter I get a result that is not just a UNION but a join of empty columns (number of empty columns = number of columns from one of my tables) and then the result of select statement from my stored proc.
And then my asp.net code fails as well because my gridView is expecting only 3 columns but instead I am getting 6 (3 empty + 3 those I was expecting in the first place.)

After Union Select Distinct

Nov 14, 2007

That's about it (subject line), I have used UNION and now I want to select DISCTINCT from that resultset
Code:

SELECT c1 FROM t1
UNION
SELECT c2 FROM t2

That code gives me half of what I want.
I would like a list of the unique results.
I know I could use a TempTable and do the DISTINCT on that, but I'm hoping there is a more elegant way.


EDIT: The following code gives me the result I want:
Code:

CREATE TABLE #TempTable (
TempCol VARCHAR (20) collate database_default,
)

INSERT INTO #TempTable
SELECT c1 FROM t1
UNION
SELECT c2 FROM t2

SELECT * FROM #TempTable

DROP TABLE #TempTable

. . . but, can it be done without a TempTable??

Select From UNION Into Table

Sep 21, 2005

What am I missing?

I have three tables "UNIONED" and I want the this inserted into a table.

INSERT INTO mytable (A, B, C, D, E)
SELECT A, B, C, D, E
FROM
(SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS1 UNION SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS2)
UNION
(SELECT A, B, C, D, E
FROM a_lot_of_parts)
GROUP BY A,B,C,D,E

This part alone works just like I want it:

(SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS1 UNION SELECT * FROM temp_PARTS2)
UNION
(SELECT A, B, C, D, E
FROM a_lot_of_parts)

I just want it inserted inte stated columns in my table.

I've stared so much at this I'm "homeblind", ie I can't see the forest because of all the trees...
