Compressing Multiple Rows With Null Values To One Row With Out Null Values After A Pivot Transform
Jan 25, 2008I 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?

NULL Values Returned When Reading Values From A Text File Using Data Reader.
Feb 23, 2007I 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'
Mar 29, 2006Hi
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.

Use Order By But Want NULL Values As High Values
Nov 9, 2000Hi,
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

Integration Services :: SSIS Package - Replacing Null Values In One Column With Values From Another Column
Sep 3, 2015I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.Â
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.Â

How To Delete Records With A Field Containing NULL
Feb 9, 2008Hi,
All records of a table must be deleted if a field (field1) contains NULL or is made empty by a previous update command.
I did this but it only works when the field is made empty, not when it contains NULL:
dim field1 as string = ""...sql = "delete from mytable WHERE (field1=@field1)" comd = New SqlCommand(sql, oConnection) comd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@field1", field1) comd.ExecuteNonQuery()
How can i do that?
Thanks

Need Timed Event To Delete Items With NULL Value
May 12, 2007I am generally a C programmer and have little experience with DB programming, so I apologize right from the start.
I have a table that allows a registration item with a verification item that will be NULL when the item is created. What I wish to do is delete these if the verification item is still NULL after a specified time (say 24 to 48 hours).
I would prefer to do this with some sort of trigger in one of two ways and any suggestions are much appreciated.
1. Have a stored procedure or function (not sure which is best to utilize) that runs every 2 days which checks the table for the NULL values and deletes any older than 48 hours.
2. Create a stored procedure or function when the registration is made that will check if the verification is still NULL for that particular record 24 hours later.
I would think the first would be the simplest, but am not certain.
Again, forgive my inexperience with DB programming and again I appreciate any advice given.
Thanks,
Steven Henley

Using NOT IN With Null Values
May 19, 2008Hi, I ve a table, I want to fetch certain rows based on the value of a Column. That column is nullable, and contains NULL values.I used the following query,SELECT Col_A FROM TABLE1 WHERE SOME_ID = 1317 AND Col_B NOT IN (8,9) Here, Col_B contains NULL values too. I need to fetch all rows where Col_B is not 8 or 9.Now, if I use "NOT IN", it does not work. I tried reading on it and got to know why it does not work. Even "NOT EXISTS" does not help. But still I've to fetch my values. How do I do that?Thanks & Regards,Jahanzeb

Apr 10, 2006I 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSUM When There Are Null Values.
Nov 2, 2007Would 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.
Null Values
Jan 16, 2006Hi,
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
Apr 20, 2007I 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?

Querying When Some Values Are Null
Mar 5, 2007I 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. Any thoughts?
Selecting Null Values
Mar 12, 2007I have a stored procedure that allows users to select addresses based on partially supplied information from the user. My procedure seems to work fine in all but a few cases. 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. I tracked this down to the fact that for Non US countries I set both the StateCode and Country Code to nulls. .

Returning Null Values
Jun 4, 2007I 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.

How To Deal With Null Values
Mar 1, 2008Hi I have a table in my database and one of the columns is called 'Month'. Here only one month is inserted according to what the user selects from a dro down list.
WHat i want to be able to do is find the average of the column 'ScoreOut' on a month by month basis. My code works fine if th database contains at least one row with every month of the year represented. I run into problems when one of the months is not represented. here is my code:string month = "February";
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");String selectCommand = "Select AVG(CAST(ScoreOut as float)) from tblRound where Name = '" + lblName.Text + "' AND Month = '" + month + "'";

da.Fill(dt);
myConn.Open();
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();string info = String.Format("{0:0.00}", Convert.ToDecimal(myCmd.ExecuteScalar()));
myConn.Close();
lblHole2.Text = info;
Does anyone know how to get around this problem. If a month is not represented, i would like the label lblHole2.text to be equal to 0.

Storing Null Values
Oct 4, 2004I 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.
