Use Order By But Want NULL Values As High Values
Hi, My query "select blah, blah, rank from tablewithscores" will return results that can legitimately hold nulls in the rank column. I want to order on the rank column, but those nulls should appear at the bottom of the list e.g. Rank Blah Blah 1 - - 2 - - 3 - - NULL - - NULL - - At present the NULLs are at the top of the list, but I do not want my ranking in descending order. Any suggestions? Thanks Dan

Order By Doesn't Work Properly When There Are Null Values?
Hello all,The followinq qurey returns sometimes values of null to some of this columns, byK,byT,byD. the column F wil not contains any nulls, and 0 will be populated in it at any case of .Now, the problem is that when sorting out F the sort will not work when there is null parameters in byK because teh fact that a 0 values is greater then NULL value, and the sort of F will not take in considiration. So I guess the question is how can I sort NULL values and 0 values to be the same weight in the sort by command? SELECT A.gym_id as gym,s_id, week, gym_name, boxer, league, sum(points) points,sum(byK)as byK, sum(byT) as byT,sum(byPoints) as byPoints , sum(byD) as byD, count(C.gym) as F FROM A inner JOIN B ON A.gym_id = B.gym_id left JOIN C ON A.gym_id = C.gym WHERE (B.l_id = ?text group by A.gym_id order by points DESC,byK DESC,byT DESC, byPoints DESC, byD DESC,F ASC

Need To Convert NULL Values To 0, (zero) In Order To Perform Math Calculations
Using a reporting services model/report builder we have two related tables: - Fundings, (parent) - Draws, (child) Report Builder reports that subtract "Total Fundings.Amount", (which is SUM(FundingAmount)) from "Total Draw Amount", (which is SUM(DrawAmount)) to get a balance work as expected except when there are no Draw rows, in which case a NULL is returned. Obviously we want to convert NULL values of "Total Draw Amount" to zero so that when subtracted from "Total Fundings.Amount" the correct value is displayed. I've searched for a function similar to COALESCE (Transact-SQL) in report builder but found nothing. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks Bruce

Configure SqldataSource With Null Date Values
I am attempting to create search parameters for a gridview control and I am experiencing a small issue. When I get to a date parameter I am unable to display null values. I setup a sqldatasource and created the parameters below to handle the selections for minimum date required and the maximum date required for the date columns in the database. The problem is I do not know how to display null dates. Is there a way to incorporate something into the search page to show null dataes? Sql Where Clause 1 WHERE (LSS_Requests.TypeCode = @TypeCode) AND (LSS_Requests.PersonNo LIKE '%' + @PersonNo + '%') AND 2 (LSS_Requests.TicketNo LIKE '%' + @TicketNo + '%') AND (LSS_Requests.Name LIKE '%' + @Name + '%') AND 3 (LSS_Requests.RequestName LIKE '%' + @RequestName + '%') AND (LSS_Requests.RequiredDate >= @Fromrequireddate) AND 4 (LSS_Requests.RequiredDate <= @ToRequiredDate) AND (LSS_Requests.OriginationDate >= @SearchFromOriginationDate) AND 5 (LSS_Requests.OriginationDate <= @SearchToOriginationDate) AND (LSS_Requests.LastUpdated >= @SearchFromUpdatedDate) AND 6 (LSS_Requests.LastUpdated <= @SearchUpdatedToDate) AND (LSS_Users_1.userFullName LIKE @SearchDDLUsers) AND 7 (LSS_Users.userFullName LIKE @SearchddlCIAsignee) AND (LSS_Requests.TypeCode = 'CC') AND (LSS_lu_Status.stNm LIKE '%' + @StatusName + '%')

Compressing Multiple Rows With Null Values To One Row With Out Null Values After A Pivot Transform
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string? -- Ryan

NULL Values Returned When Reading Values From A Text File Using Data Reader.
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Null Values For Datetime Values Converted To '0001-01-01'
Hi can somebody explain me how I can assign a NULL value to a datetime type field in the script transformation editor in a data flow task. In the script hereunder, Row.Datum1_IsNull is true, but still Row.OutputDatum1 will be assigned a value '0001-01-01' which generates an error (not a valid datetime). All alternatives known to me (CDate("") or Convert.ToDateTime("") or Convert.ToDateTime(System.DBNull.Value)) were not successful. Leaving out the ELSE clause generates following error: Error: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime. If Not Row.Datum1_IsNull Then Row.OutputDatum1 = Row.Datum1 Else Row.OutputDatum1 = CDate(System.Convert.DBNull) End If Any help welcome.

SQL Null Values In VB
I have tried doing a search, as I figured this would be a common problem, but I wasn't able to find anything. I know that my SP is functional because when I use VWD execute the query outside of the webpage, I get the correct results -however I have to ensure that a field is either entered, or set to <NULL>. In my SET's I want it to use the wildcards. What I want is to do a search (plenty of existing topics on that, however none were of help to me). If a field is entered, then it is included in the search. Otherwise it should be ignored. In my VB I have the standard stored procedure call, passing in values to all of the parameters in the stored proc below: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SearchDog@tagnum int,@ownername varchar(50), @mailaddress varchar(50),@address2 varchar(50),@city varchar(50),@telephone varchar(50),@doggender varchar(50),@dogbreed varchar(50),@dogage varchar(50),@dogcolour varchar(50),@dogname varchar(50),@applicationdate varchar(50)AS IF @tagnum=-1 SET @tagnum=NULL SET @ownername = '%'+@ownername+'%' SET @mailaddress = '%'+@mailaddress+'%' SET @address2='%'+@address2+'%' SET @city = '%'+@city+'%' SET @telephone='%'+@telephone+'%' SET @dogcolour='%'+@dogcolour+'%' SET @dogbreed='%'+@dogbreed+'%' SET @dogage='%'+@dogage+'%' SET @doggender='%'+@doggender+'%' SET @dogname='%'+@dogname+'%' SET @applicationdate='%'+@applicationdate+'%' SELECT DISTINCT * FROM DogRegistry WHERE ( TagNum = @tagnum OR OwnerName LIKE @ownername OR MailAddress LIKE @mailaddress OR Address2 LIKE @address2 OR City LIKE @city OR Telephone LIKE @telephone OR DogGender LIKE @doggender OR DogBreed LIKE @dogbreed OR DogAge LIKE @dogage OR DogColour LIKE @dogcolour OR DogName LIKE @dogname OR ApplicationDate LIKE @applicationdate ) AND TagNum > 0GO I don't know why it is creating links inside my SP -ignore them. TagNum is the primary key, if that makes a difference. On the webpage, it ONLY works when every field has been filled (and then it will only return 1 row, as it should, given the data entered). Debugging has shown that when nothing is entered it passes "". Any ideas?

Sql 7 And Null Values
dear all , we are currently having an issue with the way that sql 7 interprets null values. We currently have a literature fulfilment process that exports data from a sql 7 database into a simple .tab delimited file for completion. However, some of the fields that are pulled out were not specified as allowing null characters, i.e. in that the default view that if sql found a null result, it would simply return 'null'. This is not always the case. We have seen that even though the field is blank via the application front end (i.e. no data exists), and datalength(fieldname) = 0 (again indicating no data whatsoever), because the field hadn't been specifically told to accept nulls, when a null value was found it inserted a square character instead. This character is invisible via notepad/wordpad/excel and can only be seen via visual foxpro which was the application the fulfilment house are using. The character is simply a [] (square) that represents a line break in many programming languages. We have simply updated the fields to return specific nulls now and resent the data. However, the characters are still there ? I know it sounds a weird one but has anyone experienced something similar and is there a known fix for this problem ? Many thanks regardless chris.

Null Values
Hi, How can I use "Derived Column" to check if a Datetime value is null or not and if null to insert 00/00/00 instead. ? The background being that while using a "Derived Column" to change a Column from a (DT_DATE) to a (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) everytime I get a null value it see's it as a error. And the column in particular has ~ 37 K blank / null fields so Im getting a lot of errors So far I have tried to use something like ISNULL([Column 34]) Or SELECT ISNULL(ID, '00/00/0000') FROM [Column 34] Or SELECT ISNULL(au_id, '00/00/0000 00:00') AS ssn FROM [Column 34 but none seems to work [Column 34] being the offending column. What a normally use is just a simple "(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)[Column 34]" in the expression column, which seems to work well, but here I get alot of errors Any ideas?

Null Values
I set up a new SQL database file, in that file I allowed nulls, When I went through code to save the record, the exception is saying it doesnt allow nulls. Before I get to involved with SQL, is it a bad practice to use nulls? If it is what do you enter in place of the null value, which will lead to more code, right? Davids Learning SQL

SUM When There Are Null Values.
Would this take care of null values in either a.asset or b.asset? SELECT convert(decimal(15,1),(sum(isnull(a.asset,0))/1000.0)+(sum(isnull(b.asset,0))/1000.0)) as total_assets What's throwing me off is that there are multiple a.asset or b.asset for each unique ID. It seems to work, but I'm not following the logic too well. If I were doing this in another language, I would loop through, summing a.asset and b.asset wherever it's not null for each unique ID.

SQL7: Order Of Values In IN Clause Affects Results
Hi! Has anyone experienced this problem? Certain queries that work fine in SQL 6.5 and Oracle return inconsistent / inaccurate results in SQL 7 (with SP1). These queries include an IN clause with a range of values. For example, the following query: SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD FROM table WHERE columnD = 'I' AND columnA IN (1,2,3,11,19) go returns a different result than this query: SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD FROM table WHERE columnD = 'I' AND columnA IN (1,3,11,2,19) go The only way we have stumbled upon to get accurate results consistently is to order the range values from largest to smallest: AND columnA IN (19,11,3,2,1) Have not seen this documented anywhere. We are in the process of re-ordering these ranges in our code, but I welcome any ideas or comments... Thanks!

Returning Null Values
I have a simple table on my webpage which shows data from my database. It all worked fine apart from one part. I wanted the select statement to select only NULL values from a column, as these are classed as open queries. Once I have closed the query a 0 or 1 will automatically be posted and will no longer have a NULL value. I have a simple select statement (which I will post on here when I log in with my work computer) and at the end I have a WHERE Column = NULL. I have also tried WHERE column <> 0.0 AND column <>1.0 and that did not work. If I only did WHERE column <> 1.0, i only get the 0.0 results and none of the NULL results, but if I have no WHERE statement I get all the results including the NULL values. Oliver

If a user decides to select all the rows for a particular country the procedure below does not return any rows even if the rows exist.

Querying When Some Values Are Null
I wonder if someone out there can help me. I am writing an ASP application to query a MSSQL database. The users will be able to use one or all of 4 columns. There may be time when the columns are empty (null). How can I write a select query to ignore null values? A rough example of what I am talking about it below. select * from table where value1='something' value2=<null> value3='something' value4=<null> I would like to ignore the null values so that in effect the statement would just do the following. select * from table where value1='something' and value3='something' I realize my syntax is wrong but I think you get the idea.

Storing Null Values
I am retrieving a <NULL> value out of a SQL database, displaying it in a text box, then updating the database with the results of the text box. I am using the following code to make the insert. .Parameters("@BodilyInjuryPerson").Value = txtBodilyInjuryPerson.Text When I have values for the text string, everything runs smoothly. However, when the database originally had a <NULL> or when I want to delete the currently existing value and replace it with a <NULL>, I get an error message stating... "Input string was not in a correct format". Back in the old days, when I was using Random Access databases, you just inserted a Char(0). But that doesn't work any more. Could somebody help me. I know there is a magic bullet, I just don't know what it is.

NULL Values And Indexes
Someone was explaining me the following:1- NULL values is NOT good for a column that has an index2- Therefore, all columns have default values of :- 0 for numbers- " " for stringsI honestly can't believe that it's a good idea to have all table columnsbe filled with 1-2 space bar characters in order not to leave themas NULL values.Am i the only one who is confused about this approach? Is theperson doing this correct or wrong? And not just the columns thathave indexes on, all the columns are being set to ALLOW NULLS andall of them are set with Default Values of (' ') for text fields and (0)fornumber fields.Thank you

Getting Avg To Really Ignore Null Values
Using SQL2000. According to Books Online, the avg aggregrate functionignores null values. ((3+3+3+3+Null)/5) predictably returns Null. Isthere a function to ignore the Null entry, adjust the divisor, andreturn a value of 3? For example:((3+3+3+3)/4) after ignoring Nullentry.If there's more than one null value, then adjust divisor accordingly.For example: ((5+5+5+4+Null+5+5+Null)/8) would be ((5+5+5+4+5+5)/6)after nulls ignored.Thanks for any help or advice.

Adding Values With Null
Hi, I want to perform the following select statement select (sum(ColA) + sum(ColB) + sum(ColC)) / 3 from tableA Where .... I want to add the sum of the columns and then divide it by a constant. The problem I am having is there are a lot of nulls in the database that I am working on (i.e. one of the values in the ColB is Null, which makes the result of the entire expession null). How do I get around this. I need to add the values of the columns? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

NULL Values In SQL Server 7.0
Following SQL Statement is from BOL 7.0 and it doesn't return any data. But when I change the where clause to "WHERE advance IS NULL" it works. I am trying to do something like this in my own stored procedure. It works fine in 6.5 both ways. Is there any parameter to set? or any other problem. Thanks in advance. SELECT title_id, type, advance FROM pubs.dbo.titles WHERE advance = NULL
