Good afternoon,

We need to insert a row into a table before a select statement.

The entry would be '1 ,'--select--,'--select--','1'
This would be the first entry in the completed query.

Is this possible?

Here is the current query:

SELECT 0 as RowIndex, NC_DisplayName,NC_DomainAndUser,NC_TestUser
from NCOS_DomainUser union all
Select 1 ,'Other','Other1','1'
order by RowIndex, NCOS_DomainUser.NC_DisplayName

Thank you in advance

I'm not sure I follow. Do you want insert a row every time you query the table or are you looking to insert a row once, if it doesn't exist or something else?

do you mean this?


SELECT 0 as RowIndex, NC_DisplayName,NC_DomainAndUser,NC_TestUser ,1 AS Ord
from NCOS_DomainUser union all 
Select 1 ,'Other','Other1','1',0
order by Ord,RowIndex, NCOS_DomainUser.NC_DisplayName

But IMO you dont need to be concerned on which order you store the data in the table. you can always retrieve it in order you want by adding an additional Ord field as shown above and use it in ORDER BY while selecting

"This would be the first entry in the completed query."

Change the RowIndex so the first SELECT is 2 and then second one is 1? Then the second SELECT will be ordered before the first one.

Thank you everyone for your input. Heres how I solved it.

SELECT -1 as RowIndex,'--select--' ,'--select--' ,0
SELECT 0 as RowIndex, NC_DisplayName,NC_DomainAndUser,NC_TestUser from NCOS_DomainUser union all
Select -1 ,'--select--','--select--','0'
union all
Select 1 ,'Other','Other1','0'
union all
Select 1 ,'Other','Other1','1'
order by RowIndex, NCOS_DomainUser.NC_DisplayName
