IsNull Ordering
Hi-
I've got some issues with the ordering of search results. I've got 4
fields, (a, b, c, d). Most often there is data in field a. Sometimes
there isn't and so then I'd like to look at field c.
I can accomplish most of what I want with this:
select
a as location1, ISNULL(SiteCity, SiteCityOther) AS location1,
ISNULL(SiteCityOther, SiteCounty) AS location1, ISNULL(SiteCounty,
SiteCountyOther)
AS location1,

Where To Put ISNULL
I have two tables, tblMTO and tblIMPORT_MTO. If I import an entire MTOinto the import table I want to create a delta from it (i.e. leave onlythe changed items). I have a view (simplified)SELECT dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.ImportID, dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo,dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.Rev AS New_Rev, dbo.tblMTO.Rev AS Old_RevFROM dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.tblMTO ON dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo = dbo.tblMTO.MTONoNow to get all rows where old_rev = new_rev I also want all rows whereboth are null, is the best method to put ISNULL() in the view or toselect from the view using ISNULL in the criteria, e.g.select * from view1 where ISNULL(Old_Rev,0)=ISNULL(new_rev,0)or in the viewCREATE VIEW view1 asSELECT dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.ImportID, dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo,ISNULL(dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.Rev,0) AS New_Rev, ISNULL(dbo.tblMTO.Rev ASOld_Rev,0)FROM dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.tblMTO ON dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo = dbo.tblMTO.MTONo;select * from view1 where Old_Rev=new_rev;

ISNULL With LIKE?
I create a stored procedure like such: "create procedure tmptable_query (@lname varchar(20)) as select * from #temp_table where lname like ISNULL(@lname+'%',lname)" Unfortunately, it only returns exact matches, as if it were written as "where lname = ISNULL(@lname, lname)" However, if I query from a static table the code works correctly.Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thank you.

Using ISNULL In WHERE Clauses
I've seen lots of entries recommending the use of ISNULL in SQL WHERE clauses, e.g. in a search sproc where users can enter some or all parameters to search a table. Previously I would have used something like:SELECT * FROM MyTableWHERE (FName = @fname OR @fname IS NULL) AND(MName = @mname OR @mname IS NULL) AND(LName = @lname OR @lname IS NULL)So using the neat ISNULL syntax it could be updated to:SELECT * FROM MyTableWHERE (FName = ISNULL(@fname, FName)) AND(MName = ISNULL(@mname, MName)) AND(LName = ISNULL(@lname, LName))Having played around with this I stumbled upon a problem. If one of the fields, e.g. MName, is NULL then that clause will return false since MName = NULL isn't true and you have to use MName IS NULL. Did I miss all the caveats with using ISNULL in this way on fields that can contain NULL or have I missed something else?

My ISNULL Confusion
I've got this query and it use to work or at least I thought it did. Could someone please help me with it. Thank you SELECT CID, CompletionDate, MarkedExport, CustomerName, EditUser, RouteID, WorkOrder FROM RouteCustomer WHERE (CompletionDate IS NOT NULL) AND (ExportDate IS NULL) AND (RouteID LIKE '%' + ISNULL(RouteID,@RouteID) + '%') AND (EditUser IS NULL OR EditUser = '' OR EditUser = @EmployeeID) AND (MONTH(CompletionDate) = ISNULL(MONTH(CompletionDate),@Month)) The problem comes with in the WHERE clause. What I wanted it to do is if the user did want to use a RouteID critera then the user would speified one else it wouldn't, and it was my belief that the ISNULL feature in SQL was the answer for that. same for the Month. I believe the EditUser is fine the way it is written. thanks to anyone that can help me with this. Rex

Default Value: ISNULL()
Hi!I'm wondering whether it's possible to set up the MS SQL functionISNULL() as a default value to avoid NULL entries when importing datainto a table?!For example, I want the column1, to have a 0 (zero) as default value,when entering/importing data: isnull("column1",0)I remember that it is possible to set up with a date function likenow(), having for each record the current time as default value. Isthat also with isnull() somehow possible?Thx a lot!Peter

ISNULL In SSIS
Hi All, I want to accomplish something like this , I want to sum two of my columns and pass them as input into a third column, looks pretty simple but I think the way ISNULL is handled in SSIS is different from the way it is handled in TSQL. Basically I wanna write an expression for the following TSQL (ISNULL(Column1 , 0) + ISNULL(Column2 ,0)) as Column3 Thanks

Help Using ISNULL Function
Hey, I'm taking an intro SQL Server class, and I have a pretty simple homework assignment. We were provided with a DB and asked to write several SELECT statements. However, I'm stuck up one of the questions. Here is the question: 12.Create a SELECT statement that displays all employees and their Qualifications. Display that individuals with no Qualifications as having ‘NoQual’. Hint: Use a function to determine this ‘empty’ field using ISNULL. Here is what I have: SELECT FNAME + ' ' + LNAME AS 'Employee Name', ISNULL(QUALID, 'NoQual') AS 'Qualifications' FROM EMPLOYEE, QUALIFICATION WHERE EMPLOYEE.QUALID = QUALIFICATION.QUALID; However, I do not get any results that have a NULL value in the QUALID column.

IsNull For Decimal Acting Up
When I run this code on a column of the type float or real it's ok, but not if the column is decimal, why? this produces an error: SELECT IsNull(column1,'') as column1 FROM mytable --- this code works: SELECT IsNull(column1,0) as column1 FROM mytable --- The problem is that this query is used in a C++ environment to build an insert into another table. The query is build together in a CString. C++ considers a CString to have ended if it encounters a NULL, therefore I need the check on all columns. The error message I get is: "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." Why is it ok to use float or rel, but not decimal??

Wrong Number Of Arguments On ISNULL??
Can anyone tell me why I would be getting this error on the following query? Wrong number of arguments used with function in query expression 'ISNULL((SELECT Sum(Game_Schedule.Score) FROM Game_Schedule WHERE Game_Schedule.T1_ID = standings.ID),0) + ISNULL((SELECT Sum(Game_Schedule.Opp_Score) FROM Game_Schedule WHERE Game_Schedule.T2_ID = standings.ID),0)'.

Case Statement With IsNull And DateDiff
Hi, Im still getting to grips with ssrs and the varying ways to script. Im testing on one main column for a datediff with another column, inparticular working out the datediff, Cdate from [O 2 R], as follows; SELECT FNo, [O R], [O 2 R], CDate, DATEDIFF(day, [O 2 R], CDate) AS 'Time Taken' FROM vwAllInfo WHERE (CDate >= @startdate) AND (CDate < @enddate + 1) This works fine, but when [O 2 R] has blanks CDate needs to calculate the DateDiff from column [O R] instead. Ive never really used the CASE statement before and really cant get any kind of CASE test to work. Does anyone have any example script they could provide or give any help please?? Many Thanks JB
