I am using the below query to calculate column values. But I need to return zero when a column values is empty or null.
select [Funding] [Fundings],
[Original] AS [Originals],
[Variance] = SUM([Previous_Year]-[Current_Year]),
[SumValue] = SUM([CurrentYear]/4),
[ActualValue] = SUM([Variance] * 0.75),
[FinanceYear],
[New Value] = SUM([Previous_Year]+[Current_Year])
from Finance
GROUP BY [Original], [FinanceYear]
declare @user varchar(30) = ''
if(@user is not null or @user <> '')
BEGIN
print 'I am not empty'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
print 'I am empty'
ENd
The output should be 'i am empty' but when i execute this i am getting ' i am not empty'. even i did browse through but i don't find the difference in my logic.
i have a trigger on a table right now... when fields are inserted, theres a text field inserted and i want to check if that text field = '' (the empty string, not NULL) and if it doesn't equal that, then perform some row updates on other tables, but if it is empty, to not do anything else in the trigger... right now i have this:
Code:
IF ((SELECT Note FROM XATPoDetail WHERE ReqNbr = (SELECT ReqNbr FROM Inserted)) LIKE(''))
Note is the text field, XATPoDetail is the table where its being inserted into. I had to do the select FROM the table because it wouldn't let me select a text data type from the "Inserted" virtual table
but it tells me me "Error 279: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression"
thanks

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have managed to use the BI Wizard for time intelligence and added YTD and MTD successfully. I notice the values returned are empty, and I think this is due to the fact that all the test data I use is many years old.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are writing a C application that is using ODBC to insert recordsinto a database. We have a NOT NULL column that can legitimately havean empty value, i.e. we know the value and it is empty (i.e. a zerolength string).We are using SQLBindParameter() to bind a variable to theparameterized insert statement <<in the form: INSERT INTO table VALUES(?, ?, ?)>>. We are using SQLExecDirect() to process the SQL.We are running into the problem where ODBC is converts the empty (zerolength) string into a NULL value and this errors due to the fact thatthe column is defined as NOT NULL.We do not want to redefine the column as NULL, becasue myunderstanding of the correct usage of a NULL column is to indicatethat a value is unknown or meaningless... in our case we know thevalue (it is empty) and an empty value has meaning within ourapplication.I'm sure that this issue has been seen and address thousands(millions?) of times... any guidance would be appreciated.

I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
I have set up a trigger that fires when an update has been performed on a specific table. The trigger checks to see if specific columns have been updated. If they have, then the trigger code is executed. This part works fine.
I am now trying to find a way to check if null values exist in either one of two field from the same table. If either field contains a null value, then I don't want the trigger code to be executed.
How can I check for null values and skip a block of code within my Transact Sql trigger.

I am trying to return all the names of employees and their managers
this query returns all the employees except for 1
SELECT E.FNAME,E.LNAME,M.FNAME,M.LNAME
FROM EMPLOYEE E,EMPLOYEE M
WHERE E.SUPERSSN=M.SSN
the one that isn't returned has a null SUPERSSN, but when I add in:
OR E.SUPERSSN IS NULL
it returns a row with the name of the employee whose SUPERSSN is null 8 times (where each time the M.FNAME,M.LNAME are other employee names)
How do I ammend the first query to return each employee and their respective manager once, the employee without a manager having null values for the manager name columns?

Hello,
I have this INNER JOIN that is fine to show all possible combinations. But I need to show only rows that have one or more Null values in tbIntersect.
Should I use nested LEFT JOINT? How?
This is the SQL statement:
sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT tbCar100.Car100_ID, tbCar100.Description100 AS [Caractéristique 100], " & _
"tbCar200.Car200_ID, tbCar200.Description200 AS [Caractéristique 200], " & _
"tbCar300.Car300_ID, tbCar300.Description300 AS [Caractéristique 300], " & _
"tbCar400.Car400_ID, tbCar400.Description400 AS [Caractéristique 400], " & _
"tbCar500.Car500_ID, tbCar500.Description500 AS [Caractéristique 500], " & _
"tbCar600.Car600_ID, tbCar600.Description600 AS [Caractéristique 600], " & _
"tbCar700.Car700_ID, tbCar700.Description700 AS [Caractéristique 700], " & _
"tbProducts.Prod_ID, tbProducts.PartNumber AS [Part Number] , tbProducts.Description AS [Description] , tbProducts.DateAdded AS [Date] " & _
"FROM tbProducts INNER JOIN (tbCar700 INNER JOIN (tbCar600 INNER JOIN (tbCar500 INNER JOIN (tbCar400 INNER JOIN (tbCar300 INNER JOIN (tbCar100 INNER JOIN " & _
"(tbCar200 INNER JOIN tbIntersect ON tbCar200.Car200_ID = tbIntersect.Car200_ID) " & _
"ON tbCar100.Car100_ID = tbIntersect.Car100_ID) ON tbCar300.Car300_ID = tbIntersect.Car300_ID) ON tbCar400.Car400_ID = tbIntersect.Car400_ID) ON tbCar500.Car500_ID = tbIntersect.Car500_ID) ON tbCar600.Car600_ID = tbIntersect.Car600_ID) ON tbCar700.Car700_ID = tbIntersect.Car700_ID) ON tbProducts.Prod_ID = tbIntersect.Prod_ID " & _
";"
Here is the content of the tbIntersect table:
Car100_ID Car200_ID Car300_ID Car400_ID Car500_ID Car600_ID Car700_ID Prod_ID ID
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 2 1 1 1 1 1 19
1 3 1 1 1 1 1 20
I need to return the rows that have null data, ex: second row because Prod_ID is NULL and third row because Car300_ID is NULL. In fact I need the data from the other joint tables that correspond to these ID fields.
Thanks
I have table Products and Orders that has the following columns:
table Products: ProductID, ProductName
table Orders: OrderID, ProductID, OrderDate, Quantity, Price
The Orders table contains orders placed on all the dates. I want to obtain a list of orders for a particular date, if there is no order for a product on the requested date, I want to return null values for the Quantity and Price fields.
I tried the following select statement:
select Products.ProductName, Orders.Quantity, Orders.Price from Products left join Orders on Products.ProductID = Orders.ProductID where Orders.OrderDate = '10/16/2004'
Where, there are a total of three products (A,B,C) in table Products. Product-C has no order on 10/16/2004, but I want it to return :
ProductName / Quantity / Price
Product-A 5 1.89
Product-B 6 2.43
Product-C null null
Obviously, my sql statement won't work becaue the where clause will filter out Product-C.
Could anyone help me figure out how to modify my sql code to get the resultset I want?
Thanks in advance.
I have tables and a function as representated by the code below. The names for objects here are just for representation and not the actual names of objects.

When I run the following query, I get the required result except the rows for CID 500 for which PID is NULL in table T1. I want the rows for CID 500 as well with PID values as NULL.
SELECT A.CID,
A.ANI,
A.PID,
B.RD
FROM T1 AS A CROSS APPLY GIVERD(A.PID) B
CREATE TABLE [DBO].[RDTEST](
[PID] [INT] NULL,

Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you
set ansi_nulls off
go
declare
@inFileName VARCHAR (100),
@inFileSize INT,
@Id int,
@inlanguageid INT,
@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),
@ExeState int
set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'
set @inFileSize = 28796
set @Id= 1
set @inlanguageid =null
set @inFileVersion =NULL
set @ExeState =0
select Dr.StateID from table1 dR
where
DR.[FileName] = @inFileName
AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize
AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)
AND DR.languageid = isnull(@inlanguageid,null)
AND DR.[ID]= @ID
)
go
set ansi_nulls on
I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
How can I code a stored procedure to do this?
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?

What is best way to determine if a SqlDataSource is empty (i.e. the query produced no results) in the CodeBehind?
I'm using this:
if (SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand.Contains(String.Empty))

}
It seems to work, but something just doesn't feel right about it for some reason.

Hello,
I have a query that returns the appropriate values I need, however there is one field I'd like to add and utilize but my problem is I only want to use it if it contains data.
If I filter it with IS NOT NULL it returns all the records, including the empty records. The field is simply empty, and doesn't come back as NULL. If I filter it with =' ' , it shows all the records with the empty records only.
I need to do the opposite, be able to filter it only if it's not empty.
Any help would be appreciated.
I want to return a list of user tables from a database where the rowcount is 0. This will be a 3 step process: (1) truncate all 'New%' tables, (2) load data via ODBC/DTS into 'New%' tables, (3) list all 'New%' tables with zero rows (i.e. those that didn't get loaded, as all tables in the ODBC data source contain data).
I've tried:
select left(s2.name,32) as TableName, max(s1.rows) as Records
from sysindexes s1
inner join sysobjects s2 on s1.id=s2.id
where type = 'U' and s2.name like 'New%'
group by s2.name
HAVING max(rows) = 0
ORDER BY TableName
but of course there are multiple rows in sysindexes and the routine does not reliably return the correct list; for example the data in sysobjects & sysindexes, without the max and group by, might look like:
TableNameRows
NewARTxn0
NewARTxn1214800

Hello guys,
MS SQL server 2000 behavies strange with big queries that involves relatively large number of tables:
If I just enumerate columns I want to receive, the result set is empty. Adding * to the column list without making any change to where clause seems to solve the problem but I guess it's not the best practice.
The most amazing is that this behavior is not stable, so I suppose there's something to deal with server itself, not the application.
Has anybody suffered this problem and what solution was adopted?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
