Hi, thanks for looking
I need to sort the results of my query, lets say i have the following values in my Articles table
Id, Title
--------------------------
1, "The less you talk..."
2, The long and...
3, -ABC of Math
4, *Something else
The result should look as follows:
3, -ABC of Math
4, *Something else
1, "The less you talk..."
2, The long and...
Notice that the title may o may not have or may have more than 1 special character at the beggining
Thanks in advance for any help

Ok, I did this:
DECLARE @Table AS Table(
ID Int,
[Name] nVarChar(50))
INSERT @Table(ID, Name)
VALUES(1, '"The less you talk..."')
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 2, 'The long and...'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 3, '-ABC of Math'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 4, '*Something Else'
SELECT * FROM @Table
ORDER BY (SELECT CASE WHEN (UNICODE(SUBSTRING(Name,1,1))< 123)
THEN UNICODE(SUBSTRING(Name, 2,1))
ELSE Name End) ASC
Result:
ID Name
-----------------------------
3 -ABC of Math
4 *Something Else
1 "The less you talk..."
2 The long and...
The results match what you specified, but what if there is more than one 'special' character at the beginning of the string?
EDIT:
If you add more data you will find the following:
DECLARE @Table AS Table(
ID Int,
[Name] nVarChar(50))
INSERT @Table(ID, Name)
VALUES(1, '"The less you talk..."')
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 2, 'The long and...'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 3, '-ABC of Math'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 4, '*Something Else'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 4, '? A Question'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 4, '#Regions'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 4, 'Sometimes you are right.'
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT 4, 'Little creatures'
SELECT * FROM @Table
ORDER BY (SELECT CASE WHEN (UNICODE(SUBSTRING(Name,1,1))< 123)
THEN UNICODE(SUBSTRING(Name, 2,1))
ELSE Name End
) ASC
Result:
ID Name
-------------------------------
4 ? A Question
3 -ABC of Math
4 #Regions
4 *Something Else
1 "The less you talk..."
2 The long and...
4 Little creatures
4 Sometimes you are right.
This may not be ideal...

Thanks for the reply
Its a good start, but it looks like you are only taking into account the first character and in case it is a pecial symbol you take the second, it wont work if you have values like these:
DECLARE @Table AS Table( ID Int, [Name] nVarChar(50))
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 1, '"The morning..."'
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 2, 'The long and...'
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 3, '-ABC of Math'
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 4, '*Something Else'
SELECT * FROM @Table
ORDER BY (SELECT CASE WHEN (UNICODE(SUBSTRING(Name,1,1))< 123)
THEN UNICODE(SUBSTRING(Name, 2,1))
ELSE Name End) ASC
Notice how
"The morning..."
appears before
The Long and...
Thanks again for your example

Yes, I have tried quite a few things. You will have to parse the data in the client and perform your sorting there. This is the correct way. The database is for data and not particularly interested in the formatting.

The best I can think of is a UDF that uses the REPLACE function to strip those characters. You could add this on a separate view on the table, including the column only when needed- as it would be a very expensive operation (looping all characters for each record).
It might be better (performance-wise) to store a redundant version of the Title, without any special characters.

Hi!
I need to move a database from one server to another.
So I have the server 'S1', the database 'DB1' which is located on the server 'S1' and the server 'S2'. I use MS SQL Server 2005 Express.
I carried out following actions:
1) executed stored procedure sp_detach_db 'DB1' on server 'S1'
2) copied files DB1.mdf and DB1Log.ldf from 'S1' to 'S2'
3) tried to execute the query on the server 'S2':
CREATE DATABASE DB1
ON (NAME = DB1_data, FILENAME = 'file_path\DB1.mdf')
LOG ON (NAME = DB1_log, FILENAME = 'file_path\DB1Log.ldf')
FOR ATTACH
and recieved the error: "Unable to open the physical file "file_path\DB1.mdf Operating system error 5".
When I executed the same query on 'S1' to attach DB1 again it was finished successfully...
Tell me please what is the source of the error? and how do I solve my problem.

Problem is solved by adding full access permisions for 'MSSQLUser' user group to the file_path directory.

There's nothing wrong with the semi-colon. What point were you trying to make, or were you just trying to be smart?

 You're right, I stand corrected; sincere apologies.
The line breaks and absence of indentation made me think the first couple of lines belonged to the same statement.

There is nothing wrong with this query unless you are using SQL 2000 or earlier!

Is it possible to specify multiple text data filters in sql profiler 2005? IE: if you go to the trace properties and then column filters. I have a textData - not equal filter specified, but I'd like to add a couple other text values to ignore. Is this possible?

hi iam using sql server 2000
iam having two tables with same fields
my first tableA contains the fields
Orderid int primary key identity(automatically increment)
productname nvarchar
price nvarchar
quantity nvarchar
total nvarchar
my second tableB contains the fields
Orderid int (no primary key)
productname nvarchar
price nvarchar
quantity nvarchar
total nvarchar
from asp.net iam entering multiple values at a time in tableA, at the same time i want to insert into tableB
can you give the querry which helps me

A stored procedure that performs the operation should do it. Or you could put a trigger on TableA if you liked.
I'd question your datatypes for fields like price, quantity, total etc. Shouldn't be using strings for what looks like numeric information
CREATE PROCEDURE CreateOrderDetails
(
@ProductName NVARCHAR(50),
@Price NVARCHAR(10),
@Quantity NVARCHAR(10),
@Total NVARCHAR(10)
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @MyRecordId INT
INSERT INTO
TableA (productname, price, quantity, total)
VALUES
(@ProductName, @Price, @Quantity, @Total)
--Get the ID of the record we just created
SET @MyRecordId = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO
TableB (Orderid, productname, price, quantity, total)
SELECT
Orderid, productname, price, quantity, total
FROM
TableA
WHERE
Orderid = @MyRecordId
RETURN @@ERROR
SET NOCOUNT OFF

I'm curious, what is the logic for creating such a data structure, why are you storing data twice.
And yes you really should change you data types away from the default, it will cause you no end of problems.

Hey by using trigger u can do this. Trigger can used to implemnt business rules
|
|
|
|

I wouldn't do this since triggers can slow down the DB. Stored procedure or sep. calls is better. If it needs to be all or nothing and assuming the inserts are single row, wrap in a transaction.

You can make your stored procedure save same data in both the tables (two insert statements). BTW, why are you doing this? Don't you think it is weird?

Hi all,
This is how im getting columns from 3 tables....
select projectID=projects.projectid,projectname,
[image],country,county,ClientCompany,city,ConstructionCompletionDate_dt,
OverallBuildingSize_uts from projects, schedule,BuildingSiteStatics
where projects.projectid=schedule.projectid and projects.projectid=BuildingSiteStatics.projectid
I have searched from 2 tables using following query
select a.*,b.ConstructionCompletionDate_dt from projects a join
schedule b on a.projectid=b.projectid where projectname like '%%' or
country like '' or clientcompany like '%%' or
ConstructionCompletionDate_dt like '%%'
Now i need to search columns from 5 tables How can i do it....
