I have a field called fullname that outputs records with fullname of people.
Here is what I have when I do this sql:
Select fullname from tableOne;
John Jones
Bill Aronsen
Sam Baker
George Williams
Dave Smith
I would like to sort in order of last name but cant figure out how to do the sql:
Bill Aronsen
Sam Baker
John Jones
Dave Smith

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the following three tables:
Buyer:
BuyerID
Name
Trans:
TransID
BuyerID
Trans_Item:
Qty
Price
BuyerID
TransID
I need to figure what buyer has bought the most things. I have a function already determines the amount each buyer has bought.
So that is done. I need to order this by buyerid. How do I sort something like that? ORDER BY and GROUP BY do not work.
I am running this query but am not getting data that is correct.
SELECT a.prod_id, a.prod_name, a.artist_name, COUNT(*)
FROM po_my_purchase_tb a, cm_track_tb b
WHERE a.prod_id = b.prod_id and b.GNR_CD = 'GR000017' AND a.purchase_date > '10-FEB-10' AND ROWNUM<50
GROUP BY a.prod_id, a.prod_name, a.artist_name, a.buy_seq
ORDER BY COUNT(*) desc
Suppose I have a table in which I have first_name, last_name, dob. Now I have to fetch on the basis of first_name=some_value, last_name=some_value and dob=some_date. I want to sort it on the basis of exactly fetched values. Let me take an example-
test table contains-
first_name last_name dob
---------- --------- ----
Manu Batham 02-Feb-1988
Manu Sharma 01-Jul-1987
Avinash Pandey 03-Feb-1988
Ankit Gupta 02-Feb-1988
Manu Aggrawal 02-Feb-1988
Manu Batham 20-Jan-1985
Sikha Batham 17-Apr-1988
Now if I give parameters-
first_name='Manu'
last_name='Batham'
dob='02-Feb-1988'
then my result should be like below-
result-
first_name last_name dob
---------- --------- ----
Manu Batham 02-Feb-1988
Manu Aggrawal 02-Feb-1988
Manu Batham 20-Jan-1985
Manu Sharma 01-Jul-1987
Ankit Gupta 02-Feb-1988
Sikha Batham 17-Apr-1988
My result is based on the approach-
if matched first_name, last_name, dob --> 1st prefrence in order
if matched first_name, dob --> 2nd prefrence in order
if matched first_name, last_name --> 3rd prefrence in order
if matched last_name, dob --> 4th prefrence in order
if matched first_name --> 5th prefrence in order
if matched last_name --> 6th prefrence in order
if matched dob --> 7th prefrence in order
I designed the following query for the same-
Select first_name,last_name,dob,1 "Order" from test Where
first_name='Manu' and
last_name='Batham' and
dob=to_date('02/02/1988','dd/mm/yyyy')
union
Select a,b,c,2 from test Where
[code]......
I know that this is not the best possible solution as the table is very big and doing so many hits on that table will certainly decrease the performance.
how does sorting on multiple columns work
suppose my query is

i dont want to hardcode the column values ..it will be great if i get option to generate dynamically.
I know the only way to guarantee a specific sort order result when querying table is by using the order by clause. However, I have an issue where I do not have access to the code for the web user interface of a very lightly used interface (has two users). In that user interface is a drop down box that is populated by a table - one table. The drop down box is populated by the query "select [column name] from [table name]". Right now there are 400+ rows in that table total, so it's small but not having the items ordered is a pain.
I would like to alter something on the db side so the result of "select [column name] from [table name]" is an ordering by the column descending. I don't want the sort order to be the same for all queries (including joins and all) just want to control the order for that one query. It is Oracle9i.
I have a master detail form that presents a list of 22 items that can be checked or unchecked depending on whether the test is needed.
The issue I have is trying to order or sequence the list in a specific order without a database column.
Here is the code I am trying to use in a post query trigger:
CASE :SAMPLE_TESTS.TESTCODE
when 'L001'
then :SAMPLE_TESTS.SEQ := '02' || :SAMPLE_TESTS.TESTCODE;
when 'L002'
then :SAMPLE_TESTS.SEQ := '03' || :SAMPLE_TESTS.TESTCODE;
when 'L003'
then :SAMPLE_TESTS.SEQ := '04' || :SAMPLE_TESTS.TESTCODE;
[Code]..
The non-database field is character with a length of 6.
When I try to use this field in the order by property of the data block it is unable to perform query.
Is there another way?
i got the data like
select * from Table1
SNO Name B_MONTH

I have a requirement to sort a comma seperated string. For example if I pass '1234,432,123,45322,56786' as string, then it should return '123,432,1234,45322,56786', after sorting the numbers inside the string.
I have done it creating Global Temporary table. Is there a way without creating the Temp table. I understand I can write the whole logic to sort and append the string, but if there is any direct way.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TEMP_TAB(COL1 VARCHAR2(100)) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
