We cannot use ORDER BY clauses in
common table expression directly in sql server. For example:
WITH cteStudent
AS(
SELECT * FROM Student ORDER BY 1
)UPDATE cteStudent SET Stu_Name = 'Scott'
We will get error
message like :
The ORDER BY
clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and
common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified.
Solution:
We must have to use
either TOP or FOR XML. For example:
WITH cteStudent
AS(
SELECT TOP(1) * FROM Student ORDER BY 1
