I have a need to perform pagination while using dynamic sorting. As
an exmaple -
SELECT TOP(10) * FROM (
SELECT
TextColumn,
DecimalColumn,
ROW_NUMER() OVER (
ORDER BY
CASE @x
WHEN 1 THEN TextColumn
WHEN 2 THEN DecimalColumn
END
DESC
) AS SortOrder
FROM Table1
) AS Results WHERE SortOrder ( 10 ) ORDER BY SortOrder
This is obviously just some sample but an error is given because the
data type of the 2 columns used in the order by are different. It
works if I cast DecimalColumn to match the textcolumn but then the
sorting is wrong. Is there a way to do this in a single query with 2
different data types?

Try this:
WHEN 2 THEN
right(' '+cast(DecimalC olumn as varchar(20)), 20)
> Is there a way to do this in a single query with 2 different data types? <<
The CASE expression has to have one and only one data type, just like
any other expression in SQL and strongly typed languages.
The trick is to keep both columns and NULL one of the out or make it a
constant, somethign like this:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY
CASE WHEN @x = 1 THEN decimal_col ELSE CAST(NULL AS DECIMAL(s,p)) END,
CASE WHEN @x = 2 THEN text_col ELSE CAST (NULL AS CHAR(n)) END) AS
sort_order
The casting is a bit redundant, but a nice reminder. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hello,
The code below works great. The user enters a name into an HTML form, the code looks up a table with that name, and then that table is displayed.
I am trying to use pagination with it, and the pagination almost works. The first page of the pagination works fine, but when I click on one of the links for one of the next pages, the page is blank.
I have seen people mention this problem, and they have been told that a variable is...
