I know I can create a temp table, insert records, order it and then use union afterwards, but I'm looking for alternative routes. I tried a cte, but I had to order the entire thing which doesn't work as my unioned record doesn't stay "on top".
Basically, I have at able with Id INT, Name VARCHAR(MAX) fields and I want to ORDER BY Name before I add an entry at the row[0] position in the return set. If I order after the union, the row I wanted at row[0] gets ordered with it.
Any ideas?
You were on the right track with a union query. Force the sort with static values.
select 0 sortfield, '' name, etc
union
select 1 sortfield, name, etc
from etc
order by sortfield, name.
CREATE TABLE #temp (
idnt INT IDENTITY(2) NOT NULL --This begins the identity col with a value of 2
,Id INT
,Name VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO #temp
SELECT
...
FROM myTable
ORDER BY Name
CREATE TABLE #tempAPPEND (
idnt INT IDENTITY(1) NOT NULL --This begins the identity col with a value of 1
,Id INT
,Name VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO #tempAPPEND (Id, Name)
VALUES ('34384','Pinal Dave') -- SAMPLE VALUES
SELECT * FROM #temp
UNION
SELECT * FROM #tempAPPEND
ORDER BY idnt

I have a table variable which consists of columns id, date and status as shown below
DECLARE #DateValues TABLE (
id int identity(1,1),
dates datetime,
status varchar (5)
)
And follows is the sample data
INSERT INTO #DateValues values ('5/22/2021','')
INSERT INTO #DateValues values ('5/21/2021','ABC')
INSERT INTO #DateValues values ('5/22/2021','ABC')
Also declared a variable as shown below.
DECLARE #MaxID INT
From this table I need to get the row which containing the maximum value of date( MAX(dates) ) where status is 'ABC', from the above sample values, I should get the 3rd row as the result and I need to assign the corresponding id value of the row id to a variable (#MaxID).
I tried following queries but getting multiple result set
SELECT id, MAX(dates), Footer
FROM #DateValues
WHERE STATUS = 'ABC'
GROUP BY id, STATUS
SELECT id, dates, status
FROM #DateValues
WHERE dates = (
SELECT MAX(dates)
FROM #DateValues
);
I need something like:
#MaxID = id
FROM #DateValues
WHERE dates = (
SELECT MAX(dates)
FROM #DateValues
WHERE STATUS='ABC'
);
Please help.
Is this what you want?
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *, RN = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY dates DESC)
FROM #DateValues
WHERE status = 'ABC'
) AS D
WHERE D.RN = 1
I want to create a bunch of data with Tally table in SQL (sql2008) and definitely need help.
First of all, I have this table which contains 2 columns.
{
AcctNum (nchar(30), null),
DataInfo (nchar(745), null)
}
While I don't care the data in the DataInfo column, I do want to add about 10k of row into the table with unique AcctNum on each row.
The problem though is I need to keep the length of the data in both column. For example, AcctNum column looks like "400000000000001 ". how do I increment the number while keep the "blank space"?
Not sure if I make much sense here, but please let me know and I will try to explain more, thanks!
Using a recursive common table expression :
-- set up a table variable for demo purpose
declare #t table (AcctNum nchar(30) null, DataInfo nchar(745) null);
-- insert the starting value
insert #t values ('400000000000001', null);
-- run the cte to generate the sequence
with cte (acctnum, num) as (
select acctnum, cast(acctnum as bigint) + 1 num -- starting value
from #t
union all
select acctnum, num+1 from cte
where num < cast(acctnum as bigint) + 10000 -- stopping value
)
-- insert data sequence into the table
insert #t (AcctNum, DataInfo)
select num, null from cte
option (maxrecursion 10000);
select * from #t;
The table variable #t will now contain acctnum 400000000000001 -> 400000000010001 as a contiguous sequence.
I have this following sql script
DECLARE #tmpTable TABLE (rowID int IDENTITY,
woID varchar(100), srID varchar(100),
woWorkOrderNumber varchar(100),
woSequenceCount varchar(100),
WorkOrderNumber varchar(100)
)
INSERT INTO #tmpTable (woID, srID, woWorkOrderNumber, woSequenceCount, WorkOrderNumber)
SELECT
woID, srID, woWorkOrderNumber, woSequenceCount,
SUBSTRING(woWorkOrderNumber, 11, 20 ) AS WorkOrderNumber
FROM
WorkOrder
WHERE
codeSICurrentStatusCode NOT IN (3, 4)
AND SUBSTRING(woWorkOrderNumber, 11, 20) = ''
SELECT * FROM #tmpTable
But I'm getting these results on my rowID column:
As you can see, the rowID seems to be the row number from the table I selected on. What I'm trying to achieve on this temp table is that the rowID starts from 1 then 2 then 3 and so on and so forth.. What's wrong with my code?
You need to specify ORDER BY on the INSERT statement SELECT clause in order to control the order of identity value assignment. You can alternatively use ROW_NUMBER() instead of IDENTITY to ensure there are no gaps and provide complete control over the values.
I have a table with Primary key and auto incremented column lets say "HeaderFieldID".
Now i want to get the records as per the HeaderFieldID values.
Ex:
select *
from tblHeaderField
where HeaderFieldID in (2,1,3,4,6,5)
But,by default I am getting the records by HeaderFieldID asc order. But I want records as per the given HeaderFieldID's only.
Original Table
HeaderFieldID HFName DisplayName
1 OrgName1 disp1
2 OrgName2 disp2
3 OrgName3 disp3
4 OrgName4 disp4
5 OrgName5 disp5
6 OrgName6 disp6
Thanks in Advance
I don't know if you can order by IN, because you don't know order.
So first I would split data into rows from IN and then join it to your table.
DECLARE #table TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, NR INT)
--Prodvide data to lookup
DECLARE #givenText VARCHAR(100) = '2,1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15'
-- Split requested string into rows and add unique number
;WITH xmlData (xmlData) AS (
SELECT CAST('<x>'+REPLACE(#givenText, ',', '</x><x>')+'</x>' AS XML) AS xmlData
)
INSERT INTO #table (NR)
SELECT x.value('.','INT') AS NR
FROM xmlData
CROSS APPLY xmlData.xmlData.nodes('//x') AS func(x)
--Join tables to get result
SELECT tHF.*
FROM tblHeaderField AS tHF
INNER JOIN #table AS T
ON T.NR = tHF.HeaderFieldID
ORDER BY T.ID
Isn't clear where does this list come from (as a parameter of a stored procedure or hardcoded in the SQL statement?). Try this query:
select *
from tblHeaderField
where HeaderFieldID in (2,1,3,4,6,5)
ORDER BY
CHARINDEX(','+CAST(HeaderFieldID as varchar(100))+','
,',2,1,3,4,6,5,')
SQLFiddle demo
I have solved my query.
SELECT * FROM tblHeaderField
WHERE HeaderFieldID in (5,6,2,1,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)
ORDER BY CHARINDEX(CAST(HeaderFieldID AS VARCHAR), '5,6,2,1,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15')
trying to write some SQL that does the following.
If I have a user id field, 12345, and there are 10 records for that user, I want to make a field that goes 1234xxxx
where xxxx refers to order of those records, based on a date field, 1 - 10
so 12340001, 12340002, 12340003 etc, up to 12340010
Thoughts?
Here is a method for getting the new value, assuming the userid is a string
select (left(userid, 4)+right(100000 +
row_number() over (partition by userid order by datefield), 4)
)
You can also use this in an update statement, if you want to change the value in the table.
Declare #x Table (Id INT)
INSERT INTO #x (ID) VALUES (1001),(1002),(1003),(1004),(1005)
select * from #x
select (
left(ID, 4)+right(10000 +DENSE_RANK() over ( order by Id), 4)
)
from #x
we can also use dense rank to get desired output
