The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Limit number of records and specify search criteria

Asked by lpenrod in SQL Server 2005, Active Server Pages (ASP), MS SQL Server

Tags: limit, records, number

I have a complex (for me) stored procedure.

This is greatly simplified.

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_newest
      (@orderby varchar(10),
      @orderdir varchar(4),
      @search varchar(100))
AS
SELECT name,address,city,state,zip,price,date
      FROM (table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.id)
      WHERE (table1.status = 2)
      
      GROUP BY name,address,city,state,zip

      ORDER BY
            CASE @orderdir
                  WHEN 'asc' THEN
                  CASE @orderby
                        WHEN 'price' THEN price
                  END
            END
      ASC,
            CASE @orderdir
                  WHEN 'asc' THEN
                  CASE @orderby
                        WHEN 'name' THEN name
                  END
            END
      ASC,
            CASE @orderdir
                  WHEN 'asc' THEN
                  CASE @orderby
                        WHEN 'date' THEN date
                  END
            END
      ASC,
            CASE @orderdir
                  WHEN 'desc' THEN
                  CASE @orderby
                        WHEN 'price' THEN price
                  END
            END
      DESC,
            CASE @orderdir
                  WHEN 'desc' THEN
                  CASE @orderby
                        WHEN 'name' THEN name
                  END
            END
      DESC,
            CASE @orderdir
                  WHEN 'desc' THEN
                  CASE @orderby
                        WHEN 'date' THEN date
                  END
            END
      DESC
GO

I need to return only 100 records and the records need to be the 100 newest (based on date).
The user may choose to sort by price or name or date, but the records always have to be the 100 newest.
Not sure how to accomplish that.
