sql-order-by

I'm using Hibernate 3.2, and using criteria to build a query. I'd like to add and "order by" for a many-to-one association, but I don't see how that can be done. The Hibernate query would end up looking like this, I guess: select t1.a, t1.b, t1.c, t2.dd, t2.ee from t1 inner join t2 on t1.a = t2.aa order by t2.dd <-- need to add this I've tried criteria.addOrder("assnName.propertyName") but it doesn't work. I know it can be done for normal properties. Am I missing something? Ok, found the answer. I tried something that I didn't think would work, but to my surprise did. I was trying this:

I have a table: abc_test with columns n_num, k_str. This query doesnt work: select distinct(n_num) from abc_test order by(k_str) But this one works: select n_num from abc_test order by(k_str) How do DISTINCT and ORDER BY keywords work internally that output of both the queries is changed? Abhishek Bhandari As far as i understood from your question . distinct :- means select a distinct(all selected values should be unique). order By :- simply means to order the selected rows as per your requirement . The problem in your first query is For example : I have a table ID name 01 a 02 b 03 c 04 d 04

I have a mapping like this: @ManyToMany(cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST) @JoinTable( name="product_product_catalog", joinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="product_catalog", referencedColumnName="product_catalog")}, inverseJoinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="product", referencedColumnName="product")}) public List<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>(); I can fetch the products for the catalog nicely, but I can't (dynamically) order the products. How could I order them? I probably have to write a many-to-many HQL query with the order-by clause? I though of passing the orderBy field name string to the

Working with four tables. Users -> has basic user info including a userid and a departmentid (int) Groups -> basic group info including a groupid GroupsMembers -> table that has the relationship between a group and it's members, many to many relationship, so groupid and userid are the columns Departments -> basic department info including deptid I have a fk from the departmentid in the users table to the deparmtnet id in the departments table.

HI, I 'm trying to sort the rows in my datatable using select method.

I have one table like CREATE TABLE table_name ( P_Id int, amount varchar(50) ) Data Like Id amount ---------- 1 2340 2 4568 3 10000 Now I want to sort table by amount but one problem is amount is varchar so it sort table like this Id amount ---------- 3 10000 1 2340 2 4568 but i want result like this Id amount ---------- 3 10000 2 4568 1 2340 what should i do ? Cast amount column into Numeric in ORDER BY clause while selecting: SELECT * FROM MyTable ORDER BY CAST(amount AS Numeric(10,0)) DESC Result: ╔════╦════════╗ ║ ID ║ AMOUNT ║ ╠════╬════════╣ ║ 3 ║ 10000 ║ ║ 2 ║ 4568 ║ ║ 1 ║ 2340 ║ ╚════╩

I have a date column which has some NULL . I want to order by the date column ASC, but I need the NULL s to be at the bottom. How to do it on TSQL ? In standard SQL you can specify where to put nulls: order by col asc nulls first order by col asc nulls last order by col desc nulls first order by col desc nulls last but T-SQL doesn't comply with the standard here. The order of NULLs depends on whether you sort ascending or descending in T-SQL: order by col asc -- implies nulls first order by col desc -- implies nulls last With integers you could simply sort by the negatives: order by -col asc -
