Set Default To Blank
Apr 6, 2005I am writing a two step process where the record is created and half of the fields are populated. The second step will populate the remaining fields. Between steps they will run queries against the table and the empty fields are <NULL>.When the field is <NULL> it won't return data on "WHERE Field LIKE '%'". I could just pass "" as data to the remaining fields however since MS SQL allows you to set a default value on a field. Is it possible to set the default value to a blank instead of <NULL>. This would help keep my code a little more streamline.
Or is there an easy way to write a fuzzy search that will include <NULL> fields.
Thanks

Both instances are run against the same server via Report Viewer so

Anyone know of a work around for this?

Page In Blank
Nov 21, 2007
Good Morning friends. I am using MS SQL Server Reporting Services version 9.00.2047.00 and I have a problem and i would like your help:
I have one report (Cuadro de Mando) and 4 subreports (subquadro, subquadro2, subquadro3, subquadro4):
Note: Nome of the subreports above, have a page break after showing the records and neither the report. The subreports are perfectly designed in the main report (Cuadro de Mando).
There is no space free between the desgin of the 4 subreports.
Each subreport are designed in only one page. I tested each one of the subreports individually and the preview of each is ok in olnly one page.
But when i test the report (€œCuadro de Mando€?) with contains the 4 subreports, one page in blank always appears between the previous page and the next page of the 4 subreports.
What can we do to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

May 8, 2001Why would some of my servers that I have registered not show a green arrow (or any connection status for that matter). It's just a blank white circle. Is there some sort of connection error happening between me and the server?
It's sort of annoying to click on these servers and have the error "SQL Server xxxx is not known to be running. Are you sure you wish to connect?" Any way to get around that?

I put a blank or ‘0’ in one of column of a text file and then I used BCP to load this file to a table of SQL server 6.5. The field in SQL server table is char type with size 1. After I run this process, all rows with this column received ‘0’ and no blank or null at a black value place. Could you please help me to fix this problem and make some of rows in the column get a blank or null value.

SQL Query Blank Space
Oct 11, 2000Hi:
I did the following query on SQL Server A and got the following result.
Input: select replace('10/10/00', '/', '')
Result: 101000
(1 row(s) affected)
However, I did the same query on SQL B and got a different result.
Input: select replace('10/10/00', '/', '')
Output: 10 10 00
(1 row(s) affected)
Both Servers are SQL 7.0 with SP2. I checked the setting, it seems to be identical. Does anyone know what could be the problem or have any hint what I need to check?
I beleieve the correct result should be the first result.
Thanks for any help.

Blank Multi-value Parameters
Jul 19, 2007Hi,
Lets say I have two multi-value parameters on a report. One is required, the other is not. The multi-value parameter that is not required is allowed to be blank. In the WHERE clause of my query I wanted to do this:
Code Snippet AND
EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM SomeTable AS ST_1
WHERE (MyCode IN (@My_Codes2)) OR @My_Codes2 IS NULL)
Of course I can't do that since multi-value parameters are not allowed to be null. I see that they are allowed to be blank, but how do I check for that? I tried
Code Snippet
OR @My_Codes2=''
That doesn't work. I can set a default value of 'None' and say:
Code Snippet
OR @My_Codes2='None'
Unfortunately this doesn't work. As long as the default value is 'None' it's fine. When I fill in the parameter I get the following error:
An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ','.
Please note that I am not using a TSQL stored procedure here. It's just a plain old embedded SQL statement.
Thanks,

NULLS And BLANK Values
Nov 16, 2007
I have a table containing a VARCHAR(9) NOT NULL column. Every record in the column will have alength of 9 if a record exists.
WHEN I run the following query on the table
SELECT Column_A
FROM Table1
WHERE Column_A <> ''
I get no records returned. However, I know that when I run a query
SELECT DATALENGTH(Column_A)
FROM table1
WHERE DATALENGTH(Column_A) <> 9
I have used Datalength instead of LEN because LEN does not return the length of a space character.
I get records amny records. When I copy an individual record from the column, it shows that a space character is in the record.
Does anyone know whay this is happening?
DB Engine :: All Counters Are Zero Or Blank?
Mar 25, 2009I want to use Performance Counter (perfmon) to log SQL Server counters for a performance turning. Therefore I create a log and add some SQL Server counters (SQLServer:Buffer Manager, SQLServer:SQL Statistics...) and some OS counters (Memory, Paging File...). And set Log File Type to a text file (.csv).But when I open this .csv file, all SQL Servers are zero or blank, but other OS counters are correct.If I view those SQL Server counters in Performance Counter (perfmon) directly, they work well.
