This is why you don't store multiple values in the same field. With the data that you have provided, it would work to use the SUBSTRING() function to get the left two characters and then sort based on that. However, if you have any data where the left number is either one character or three or more characters, then this wouldn't work.

I have the view below and if I use vwRouteReference as the rowsource for a combo box in an MS Access form or run "SELECT * FROM vwRouteReference" in SQL Query Analyzer, the rows don't come through sorted by Numb.

Does someone have an idea why the sorting is not working correctly for this particular view? thanks. CREATE VIEW...

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?

Hello again Bytes...I missed you! First, background: In a hotstick lab, we ship orders every two years. We ship a new order and the customer uses the new box to return the previous year's order. For example, in November 2007 we shipped an order. November 2009 those sticks expire, and we ship a new order (because customers can't be without sticks) and when they receive the new 2009 order they ship back the old 2007 order. A box number...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
