I believe I found a Bug in MS SQL Server 8.0.
I have a query with an ORDER BY clause. The resultset is about 10000 rows.
Sometimes the ordering of the result is not correct, but when I restart the
sqlserver-process, at least the first time the ordering is correct, but then
after executeing the same query a few times, th ordering gets corrupt!
Has anybody encountered a simmilar Problem?
Does anybody know a workaround?
Thank a lot.
Andy Rohr.

What do you mean by not correct? Can you post some code and sample data to
reproduce the problem (including the DDL)?
Do the columns in the ORDER BY list represent a unique key? If not, remember
that ORDER BY can produce different valid orderings if the columns are not
unique. For example, with the following query:
SELECT A, B
FROM Sometable
ORDER BY A
the result:
(1,1)
(1,2)
is just as valid as:
(1,2)
(1,1)
Also, in SQLServer ORDER BY columns reference aliased columns in the SELECT
list but can also reference base table columns which do not appear in the
SELECT list, a feature which can cause some confusion.

I have two SQL Server 2000 machines. The same file is sent nightly to
each server and a stored proc uses BULK INSERT to load it into a

Once I've bcp'ed it in, I put it into a temp table with an IDENTITY

Hi all
I recently noticed when trying to optimise a major query of a chess website
I am the webmaster of, that adding an order by for "gamenumber" which is a
clustered index field as in for example "order by timeleft desc, gamenumber
desc" actually speeded up the queries and reduced sql server 2000 timeouts.
I have an ASP error log and I am fairly sure that a dramatic reduction in
sql server timeouts is simply attributed to adding an...

Hi All
I am finding unexpected results when inserted into a newly created
table that has a field of datatype int identity (1,1).
Basically the order I sort on when inserting into the table is not
reflected in the order of the values from the identity field.
Have I been wrong in assuming that it should reflect the order from the
sort?
