Pb retrieving sorted data from Table in SQL.

Hi,
I get problem to retrieve data in the right order from table in database SQL.
See code attached: code.png
I want to sort data according to ID number And then to retrieve those data and fill out a ring control in the right order "descending" .
But i got always ID 2 instead of 1. See attached picture : control.png
it seems that the select statement (see under) is not woking properly. But it is working well in a query in Access DataBase .
//Select statement
hstmt = DBActivateSQL (hdbc, ("SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName));
if (hstmt<= DB_SUCCESS) {ShowError(); goto Error;}
Some idea ??
Lionel.

Hello Lionel,
According to the document Robert linked, the prototype of DBActivateSQL() is:
int statementHandle = DBActivateSQL (int connectionHandle, char SQLStatement[]);
For the 2nd parameter(SQLStatement), you're sending:
("SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName)
Probably your intention is to substitute %s with szTableName, but that's not what it happens.
By using comma operator, ("SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName) is evaluated to szTableName, so you call is equivalent to:
hstmt = DBActivateSQL (hdbc, szTableName);
In order to substitute %s with szTableName you need to first build the string you're passing as the 2nd parameter:
char query[512];
sprintf(query, "SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY ID DESCENDING",szTableName);
hstmt = DBActivateSQL (hdbc, query);

How to sort data in cl_gui_alv_tree class?

Hi,
I thought that since this object uses an alv grid that the standard sort functionality would exist. Now that I've developed most of the code, I realize that there is no native sorting functionality.
Is there some way I can make use of the Superclass CL_ALV_TREE_BASE?
It has some methods that are "Private", "Instance" - I'm still a rookie at OO programming in SAP so I'm not sure how best to approach the situation.
As I see it, I have a few options:
1) Manually manage sorting by providing an ascending and descending button/icon on the toolbar and then delete and rebuild the nodes in the tree.
2) Manually track the data along with the nodekeys and then use method MOVE_NODE to reposition the data in the tree
3) Clone these objects and somehow find the code that is causing the sort options to be suppressed in the toolbar.
Has anyone built any applications using CL_ALV_TREE_BASE that permit sorting?
Please don't waste my time by pasting in the links to all the SAP online help for ALV and expect to get points. Been there, done that. If there is a particular section that is of specific value, I'll happily study it and report my findings. Particularly something that explains how to invoke the methods of a superclass and the difference between protected, public, and private.
Mostly though, I really need a way to sort data in the CL_GUI_ALV_TREE class.
Thanks

Hi Ray,
As far as I know, this will not work. I've had the same problem. The only solution I have found was to re-build the tree each time. It is easier than moving nodes around.
You can take a look at the class cl_wa_notifications_wps - in case you have a PM or an A&D system.

Use drag and drop to sort data in report

Hello!
I found a good description to sort data in a Tabular Form per drag and drop.

Here is the url: Read Article - Drag &amp; Drop tabular form rows
It works fine if one follow the hint from Baki (For apex 4.2 one have to adapt a css class).
Afterwards I tried the same with an Interactive Report. It nearly works.
I once again had to adapt a css class.
I used the
apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA
class instead of the
uReportStandard
in the JavaScript for the Interactive Report.
Everything went fine. Except the "Save the Thing to the DB" issiu did not work.
The following code do not work (the "APEX_APPLICATION.G_FROWID.COUNT" is allways 0):
FOR i IN 1 .. APEX_APPLICATION.G_FROWID.COUNT
LOOP
UPDATE emp SET sort_order = i WHERE rowid = APEX_APPLICATION.G_FROWID(i);
END LOOP;
Does anybody know why?
Best thanks,
Ilb

How do I sort data in columns using Pages

How do I sort data in columns (alphabetically) using Pages?

If you are referring to text or numbers in a column (not table), then get the free Service plug-in WordService, from Devon Technologies. Put it in the
/Users/yourlogin/Library/Services folder location.
Select your data to be sorted. From the Pages menu > Services > Sort Ascending will do the trick. This will work with Pages ’09 and Pages v5.2 or later, as well as Apple Mail, TextEdit, etc.
The WordService files include a PDF (Read Me) that describes the services included with the package.
The Service items will only appear in the Services submenu when you have selected your data prior to sort. If these WordService items do not appear in the Services menu as they should per the preceding sentence, then you will need to enable them.
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services. Scroll through the right hand list of services until you encounter Sort Ascending and ensure that it is selected.
If you were referring to sorting a column of data in a table:
Pages ’09
Select all cells containing your unordered data. In the Table Inspector, under Edit Rows & Columns, choose Sort Ascending.
Pages v5.2
Select cells as before. In the Table heading (A, B, C, etc.) when you roll over the letter, a down-arrow appears. Click, and choose Sort Ascending from the drop down menu.

SPGridView - sorting Dates doesn't work properly & how to display the title column as link?

Hi,
I've got a SPGridView that is being filled with data from several lists. Some of them are a date-field and a title-field. I already added sorting, paging and filtering options and at first look they seem to work fine. But now I noticed that sorting dates
doesn't work as expected. If I select ascending sorting, the result is something like this:
01.08.2014
02.08.2014
17.07.2014
18.07.2014
23.07.2014
If I select descending sorting, the result is this:
23.07.2014
18.07.2014
17.07.2014
02.08.2014
01.08.2014
This isn't what I want obviously.
I just added the EventReceiver for the sorting like it is shown in several tutorials:
(The date field is a BoundField.)
grid.Sorting += new GridViewSortEventHandler(grid_Sorting);
private void grid_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
if (ViewState["FilterExpression"] != null)
gridDS.FilterExpression = (string)ViewState["FilterExpression"];
And my second problem is how to add a link to the title column. In my grid I'm displaying tasks from different lists and I want to link the title to the related task. I stumbled accross HyperLinkFields and tried this:
HyperLinkField hyperLinkField = new HyperLinkField();
hyperLinkField.DataTextField = "Titel";
hyperLinkField.DataNavigateUrlFields = new string[] { "Titel" };
hyperLinkField.DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "{0}";
hyperLinkField.HeaderText = "Titel";
hyperLinkField.SortExpression = "Titel";
grid.Columns.Add(hyperLinkField);
The resulting link is something like ...sites/MySite/_catalogs/masterpage/A1-V1-2 where "A1-V1-2" is the name of the task and also shown in the title field.
The actual link should look more like ...sites/MySite/Lists/mytasklistname/DispForm.aspx?ID=.... or something like that to display the task details. How could I achieve that?
Thanks in advance

Set "data type returned from this formula is" to integer.
As a result on list view you will see the title with link to your url.
UPD: It seems that URL field is not valid for calculated column, as workaround you can copy url value in a receiver into the another text field, which is not shown on the view.

Performance - using JDBC call with 'order by' vs sorting data on app server

Hello! I need some valid thoughts on the performance of using a JDBC call versus processing information on the application server.
Here is the somewhat simplified scenario:
I need to retrieve customer information (name, e-mail, telephone), display it in HTML format and then be able to redisplay it in a different order. For example, initially the list would be displayed sorted by last name, but then a user might choose to sort it by e-mail address. Initial call to DB uses 'order by' in the SQL stmt to get me the initial ordering by last name. Results are stored in 2D array. However, when a user selects a different sort I have two options:
1) just make another call to the DB with a different order by clause. This means I need to create a DB connection, connect to DB, retrieve the results and read them from result set into a 2 dimensional array
2) re-sort data in the 2D array populated during the initial call. This means I need to use java.util.Arrays.sort(my_2D_resultsArray, my_custom_comparator)
Question is : which is more efficient? Number of entries retrieved can be anywhere from 0 to a few thousands (depending on other filters such as customer's country). My feeling is that option umber 2 is better, but I would like to get your opinion.
Thank you!

Good points! Thanks! I ran a test (see code below) and it takes less than a second to sort 2000 Strings and 2000 nulls. The only thing I ran the test at a UNIX prompt as oppose to from within app server (Weblogic). I expect the speed to be compatible though. Do you think that test was valid and tells us that sorting on the app server is probably faster than doing another SQL query?

Sort Date format in Oracle XML Publisher

Hi All,
I have a requirement like trx_date sort. i have taken trx_date in dd-mon-yyyy format. now i given sort option like this..
<?for-each:G_TRX_ORDER_NUMBER?><?sort:TRANSACTION_TYPE?><?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type=date?> <?sort:TRX_NUMBER?>
now i have 3 dates
07-NOV-10
20-MAY-11
20-DEC-10
using above sort option.. this dates are not coming as per the ascending order.
Can any one tell me what i have to ?
Thanks

What is your application release?
Does the sort work for other data types?
What if you change "<?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type=date?>" to "<?sort:DUE_DATE;'ascending';data-type='date'?>", does it make any difference?
Few examples about the sort can be found in these docs/links.

Sorting Data in Tables

Hi anyone help with trying to resolve an issue with sorting data in a table I have created in Pages 08 v 3.0.2.
I have a table six columns across with rows down of data. I have so far entered 10 rows of data and wanted to sort the data based on column 1 then column 2 with the associated data in the other columns staying connected to column 2. Fairly straightforward stuff I thought so clicked the table header for column 1 then the ascending sort button in Inspector the results I got were not quite what I expected.
Here are three lines of data taken from columns 1 & 2. The sequence below is how I entered it. The data as you will see relates to classical music. In column 1 is the single word 'Mozart' all the other data is in column 2 on one line:
Mozart Symphony No 29 in A Major KV201
Mozart Symphony No 4 in D Major KV19
Mozart Symphony No 36 in C Major KV425 'Linz'
When I clicked the header for column 1 then the button in Inspector to sort the data ascending this is the result I got:
Mozart Symphony No 29 in A Major KV201
Mozart Symphony No 36 in C Major KV425 'Linz'
Mozart Symphony No 4 in D Major KV19
The first two entries are in the right order but the third one should obviously be first. Anyone know how I could resolve the issue I have with sorting data in the table I have created?
Thanks ....

Just to expand on Beatrice's answer, Pages (as most other word processors) sorts alphabetically. 4 comes after 39 alphabetically because the 4 comes after the 3. It doesn't think, "oh, that's the number 4 which is smaller than the number 39." By placing the leading 0 we wind up comparing 04 to 39 and yes, the zero is in front of the 3 so it gets placed ahead of it.

How can I sort date?

hi,
How do I sort date? Its in the following format 11 Mar 2002. The date is written using the calendar class in java.util.* package.
Please help me out.
Regards
Deepa Datar

long[] longArray = new long[dateArray.length];
for(int i=0;i<dateArray.length;i++) {
longArray[i] = dateArray.getTimeInMillis();
Arrays.sort(longArray);
Now you can format the sorted longArray into appropriate date format.

Efficent method to sort data from tab delimited text file

I am currently writing a program to sort through data that was acquired and display it on a graph and some other indicators. The file is a tab delimited text file with possibly 100,000s of data points. the current method that I have tried using was that if I wanted all of the data from Oct, I would parse out the month from the timestamp, compare that to the desired month, and add it to the array if it is the same. Other possible options of sorting are yearly and daily, possibly even hourly.
The method does work, however it does take some time (up to a minute on a P4 3.6 GHz with 2 gb ram), and most of the other computers are not nearly as fast or with as much memory. Is there a more efficent method to sorting the data??
I attached my sorting vi as well as a sample data file.
thanks for the advice. It is saved in LV8.0.1

First of all, "sorting" has usually a different meaning (Sorting and numeric array ascending or descending, a string array aphabetically, etc.). Your data already seems sorted by date and time, you just want to pick a subset having certain characteristics.
The main problem that is slowing you down is your constant growing of large arrays. This causes constant memory reallocations.
Since your data is already sorted by date and time, all you need is to place your data in a sutable data structure, find the start and end point of your selection, then use "array subset" for example.
Your code also seems to have a lot of unecessary complexity. See for example your "test for sort data" (see image below).
the four cases only differ by filename --> only the file name belongs into the case and the file operation outside the inner case. Even better, just use autoindexing.
that shift register does not do anything, because it always contains the same data. Using "index array" with index wired to [i] is equivalent to an autoindexing tunnel.
You have a case structure to select which files to read, skipped files give you an empty array. Do you really need to do all these operations on an empty array. Why not place all code inside the TRUE case??
Below is an image of one possible code alternative that addresses some of these points.

UDF for sorting date

Hi Guys,
I am doing scenario File to Idoc, i have to sort date in acending order, the date format will be in either 22.10.2007 or 22/10/2007 . can any one send UDF for this.
Regards,
venu gopal

Hi Venu
You can execute this without UDF. Use " Transform" function in the Date functions.
When you are using the UDF....you keep the strucure as "yyyMMddhhmmss" for that clickon Trnasform function and there you can see ShowAdvancedProperties...there u can find the format of the source which you are expecting and also change the strucutre of you target expected format.
You please try this and check the mapping it will get execute.
Use Standard Date Function DATATRANS. It have the property for format and input is the source date field. It will convert the date format to required specified format which you menstion in the DARTATRANS function
for UDF
Re: UDF for this mapping rule
Re: Problem in UDF please Help?
Thanks!
