Interactive sort for a grouped table

I'm trying out the interactive sort feature (and have searched high and low for this answer), but can not make the sorting work if I have the data in the table grouped. If I remove the group, the sorting works fine but the output is not acceptable due to the duplicated records in the list.

Can someone steer me in the right direction?

I'm not really sure whether this is what you are looking for, but figured it is worth a try:

Intellisense..when?

This is one of the top requested feature for next version (or SP) of SQL Server. (http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback ) There si some third parity tools but light years away from Visual Studio intellisense. I have only one simple question based on this answer

This is a very popular feature request. We will be working with teams across Microsoft to determine how best to do this. The intellisense offered by 3rd party ISVs is not perfect from what I've seen. This is something we're considering for a future release.

Thanks for the feedback!

When we can expect this feauture? (next version of SQL Server , SP 2 I hope so, or SP3

Thank you

In the mean time I'm using SQL Prompt which works pretty well.

It looks like we're going to earn a "". It is not going to come in Service Pack 2 () or any service pack for SQL Server 2005 ().

There are 3rd party tools available. I heard there were many issues in Red Gate's SQL Prompt 2 that were addressed with SQL Prompt 3. I have not used it myself.

Due to the inherent nature of the T-SQL language, it is far more difficult to make intellisense work as well as it does with C# or Visual Basic. There are two teams at Microsoft looking to address the problem. One is in the SQL Server team, the other is in the Visual Studio team. We do not have any official commitments to what is going to be in the next release of SQL Server ("Katmai"). Once we firmly establish what is in the next release and what isn't, we'll make sure to inform the SQL Server community.

intellisense for QA?

VB.NET (actually VS.NET) has a feature called Intellisense that will display
methods/properties for an object once you type a dot. For example:
Object1.
At that point, you may see a list similar to:
- Compare
- GetType
- Parse
- ToString
which you can choose. No memorization required. Is there a plug-in or
something for QA that will do the above? For example, I might join two
tables:
select us.column1, mm.column1
from dbo.summary us JOIN
dbo.message mm
ON us.
When I type us., I'd like to see all the fields in that table. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Brett> Is there a plug-in or
> something for QA that will do the above?
No. And the feature was dropped from the next version because T-SQL isn't
written and organized in a way that suits intellisense, the way a more
structured programming language is. If you type SELECT you might expect a
drop-down to appear with all of the built-in aggregate functions,
user-defined functions and every single column in all views and tables in
the entire database. The kind of metadata retrieval required for this just
didn't make sense...

> When I type us., I'd like to see all the fields in that table. Any

Check out some of the other tools written for writing/modifying T-SQL,
though I've never heard of one that accomplishes this. The tools that ship
with SQL Server won't have this feature for a while (if ever)...|||There is no plug in for QA. This feature has also been dropped, currently,
from SQL 2005. I would look for a third party tool for running queries to
solve this problem.

Take a look at SQL IDE from Imceda. We offer autocomplete on objects.

some time ago and it's a pretty good product. Their support is very good
and you get free upgrades for ever, major and minor versions.

*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.examnotes.net ***|||We've added T-SQL Intellisense-like word-completion support for Visual
Studio 2003/2005 and the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to our PromptSQL
product. So you can now have auto-completion for TSQL in those environments
and of course Query Analyzer.
SELECT * FROM Em[Ctrl-Space] displays a popup with all tables starting with
Em
SELECT * FROM Employees AS e JOIN [Ctrl-Space] shows a popup with all tables
related to the employees table (via primary/foreign keys)
SELECT * FROM Employees AS E JOIN Orders o on [Ctrl-Space] shows a popup
with possible joins based on primary/foreign keys on the tables in the FROM.
Press "." after a table name to get the columns in the table. It has proper
support for SQL Server 2005, which of course means prefixing table names
with schema names as appropriate.
Online demos and registration-free download: http://www.promptsql.com/
PromptSQL is written in C# and uses hooks to monitor Query Analyzer and the
other supported environments. You carry on using these standard tools.

PromptSQL Team.
