- Using Inner Join When The Field In My Data Table Has The Null Default Value:

Jul 16, 2006

I have a datatable : Data_Table
  and a look up table: Lk_table. Myfield that I
use in Inner Join
  is defined in both the
data and look table.

 

So I build my query like this:

SELECT
     * FROM
         dbo. Data_Table
  INNER JOIN


                     
dbo. Lk_table ON dbo.Data_Table.MyField = dbo.Lk_table.Myfield


                

The pb, sometimes
 I
have myfield still with its default null value in the datatable: Data_Table.
So, I end up getting 0 record when I execute the query shown above.

How do I turn that around so that even if myfield in Data_Table
is Null, I still get the records from Data_Table. (I don t want a set of
records including all possible values from the look up table: Lk_Table)

Data Flow Task - Have Null Values Take Table Default

Jun 6, 2006

Hi,


I have a data transform from a flat-file to a SQL server database.
Some of the flat-file fields have NULL values. The SQL table I'm
importing into does not allow NULL values in any field, but each field
has a Default value specified.


I need to have it so that if a null value comes across in a field using
the data transform, it takes the table default on import. I could of
sworn I had this working a few days ago, but I get errors now that
state I'm violating table constraints. Has anyone done this before?


Thanks
Jeff

Selecting Field From Second Table If Same Field In First Table Is Null

Nov 25, 2007



Hi,
I have one table (PermProportionalCosting) that contains employeecode, costcentre and proportionpercentage. An employee may have two or more records in this table, indicating that their salary has been split across multiple costcentres.

Another table (Employee) contains a default costcentre for each employee.

Another table (TransActualHistoricalMaster) contains the hours paid to each employee for each pay period.

My query so far selects all employees and the total hours worked from the TransMaster table, and then selects the costcentre and proportionpercentage from the PermProportionalCosting table. Multiple lines are created for all employees in the PermProportionalCosting table, with each line indicating the proportionpercentage and associated costcentre.

This is my query so far:

SELECT TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode, Employee.PreferredName, Employee.LastName, CostCentre.Description, PermanentProportionalCosting.CostCentreCode,PermanentProportionalCosting.PercentageSplit,
TransActualHistoricalMaster.OrdHours
FROM TransActualHistoricalMaster
INNER JOIN Employee ON TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode = Employee.EmployeeCode
INNER JOIN CostCentre ON Employee.CostCentreCode = CostCentre.CostCentreCode
FULL OUTER JOIN PermanentProportionalCosting ON TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode = PermanentProportionalCosting.EmployeeCode
GROUP BY TransActualHistoricalMaster.EmployeeCode, Employee.PreferredName, Employee.LastName, CostCentre.Description, PermanentProportionalCosting.CostCentreCode, PermanentProportionalCosting.PercentageSplit, TransActualHistoricalMaster.OrdHours

This next bit is what I am unsure of.

I would like the CostCentre field from the Employee table to go into the PermanentProportionalCosting.CostCentreCode column where the employee doesn't have a record in the PermanentProportionalCosting table. In the above query, there is a null value for each employee that doesn't have a record in the PermanentProportionalCosting table, so I would like my query to replace the null value with the costcentre from the Employee table.

Any assistance would really be appreciated.

Thanks.

Nov 7, 2007

 I am doing a shopping basket type demo.I have difficulties going from table with fields like (Name,ProductCode) to table(Name, ProductCode, NumberOfItems).

How To Generate Random Default Value For A Field Under Sql Table?

Oct 13, 2005

hi
I have a field call: password, I want to generates some random chars as
default password for users (so user got something to login, and update
later).

Current Solution I have:
I made myself a trigger and it does generate password on insert, but
the problem with that is I have to allow NULL on that field.  I
don't want NULL to be allowed, and if I don't allow null... sql server
won't allow me to insert a record (when leaving password field empty).

Reason i don't wanna allow NULL on that field, is because there may be
more applicaions using the same field from the same database. 
Just in case if the other developer gets sloopy, I don't want other
application(s) allow user put to enter a null or leave it blank on my
password field.

My question is:
1) can I put a function or some sort at the "Default" field under "Design Table", if so...how?
2) any suggestions for a better implementation?
3) if (1) doesn't work, what other options would you suggest other then the current trigger i'm using?

TIA

Subscription Issue With Null Default Parameter - Key Cannot Be Null

May 3, 2007

I have a report that is run on a monthly basis with a default date of null. The stored procedure determines the month-end date that it should use should it be sent a null date.

The report works fine when I tell it to create a history entry; however, when I try to add a subscription it doesn't appear to like the null parameter value. Since I have told the report to have a default value of null it doesn't allow me to enter a value on the subscription page.

Now, I suppose I could remove the parameter altogether from the stored proc, but then the users would never be able to run the report for a previous time period. Can someone explain to me why default values aren't allowed to be used on subscriptions when they seem to work fine for ad hoc and scheduled reports? This is really quite frustrating as most of my reports require a date value and default to null so that the user doesn't have to enter them for the latest data.



An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help




Key cannot be null. Parameter name: key

Join A Table With Different Tables But With A Field In Common?

Jan 27, 2014

I have a table activity which show the activities of the site. An activity could be related with no other entity or it could be related with an account, or with a contact or with an opportunity. An opportunity and a contact could be also related with an account.

My problem is that I need to show the activity and the related account (if there is any) but because the relationship with an account could be done by different ways, I dont know how to do it without join the account table several times.

This is my current query:

SELECT AC.IdActividad, CU.idcuenta
FROM Actividades AC LEFT JOIN Tareas TA ON TA.IdActividad = C.IdActividad
LEFT JOIN ActividadesXCuenta AXC ON AC.IdActividad = AXC.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU ON axc.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta
LEFT JOIN dbo.ActividadesXOportunidad axo ON AC.IdActividad = axo.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Oportunidades o ON axo.IdOportunidad = o.IdOportunidad LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU1 ON o.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta
LEFT JOIN dbo.ActividadesXContacto axco ON AC.IdActividad = axco.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Contactos con ON axco.IdContacto = con.IdContacto LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU2 ON o.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta

As you see, I have the table Cuenta joined 3 times. That means that I need to put the ActivityID field 3 times but based on how the report was developed, I could not do that.

Checkbox Data-bound To A Bit SQL Field Can't Handle NULL Values

Jun 18, 2004

I have a checkbox on my webform that is bound to a bit field in my SQL table. I'm fine as long as I've got the bit field set to 0 or 1, but if the field is NULL, the checkbox throws an exception during the databind.

Is there any way to handle this without removing the data binding and manually setting the value (ie: some way to intercept it before the exception gets thrown and then setting the field value in the dataset)?

Thanks!

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Join Tables To Get Only Record With Specific Field Value In A Table

Feb 6, 2015

I have a table of "applicants" with unique applicant id and another table "reviews" with reviews which has unique id and Emplid and contains general program name like Math and then may contain 3 addition rows for specific program like Calculus, algebra, geometry etc.

Datamining Model Automatically Add Space To Field Name. Can't Use Prediction Join With Original Table

Aug 30, 2007

Dear All,


I have a database table which has all the inputs, key and the result. In visual studio, I created a decision tree model which has exactly the same fields as in the table. However the visual studio automatically add space preceding the capital letters. As the field name in the Datamining model and those in the database table are slightly different. I cannot use NATURAL prediction join. Is there anyway to told the visual studio not to add the spaces in the variable names?

Thanks and regards,

How Do I Enter NULL In A Table Cell In The Enterprise Manager UI For Table Data Entry?

Sep 9, 2005

I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column.  Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit".  I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it.  I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom

The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable

mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))

Default Sort Order Of The Data When Inserting From One Table To Another

May 19, 2008



I have a data load process that reads data from flat file into a Stage table in sql server. The order of the records in the stage table is exactly same as the order in the flat file. The identity column on the Stage table (which is also the clustered index) represents the exact line/row number of the data in the filat file. I perform some transformations on the data in the stage table and then insert it into a cumulative table which has a clustered index on an identity column again. When I do this, does the order of the data in the cumulative table be in the same order as the data in the stage table? Anyone, please let me know if I can rely on SQL server to maintain the same order or I will be forcing a sort order on the Identity column (clustered index) of the stage table when I insert the data into a cumulative table.


Thanks in advance!!

Question On Which Component To Use In Data Flow For Default Value Stored In A Table

Jan 30, 2008

Hi,

I have SSIS which will have OLF DB Source, and then have Derived Column component to managering all data from OLF DB Source. I used to have default columns such as Create Date, Update Date set as fixed date. Now we decided to put this default column values into a table to manage. I then have problem to choose which component I should use in order to have this columns selected from default table.

For example: if Create Date is null, I have to select default value from the default table; otherwise, use Create Date value and so on.

Thanks,

Default Field To Another Field Value On Db Level

Oct 30, 2006

Hi All,

I need to create a new field on a table and have that field default to another field value in that same table. Is there a way to do this w/ a default constraint rather than adding a trigger to the table? If i can't use a default constraint does anyone have a template trigger i could use? Below is an example of what i'm trying to do (Field_C is the new field and i want it to use Field_A value if no other value is specified on insert). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

alter table FOO add Field_C varchar(50) not null constraint FOO_default DEFAULT Field_A

Column Null Or 0 Default Value

Feb 3, 2005

Hi

I have a table with the list of employee and 15 column with data type float or money , that represent the number of hours, airfare,gas,parking food, etc....

I have 2 choice:
-Put 0 as a default value for each column, like that I do not have to use coalesce when I do SUM for each column.
-Leave the default value null but I will have to use coalesce.

In term of performance, what is the best solution?

Thanks
