I'm trying to insert any null values into a temp table. I'm storing the ixo_rlt_code as OldRole, and 'Other' as NewRole. I need both the ixo_rlt_code as OldRole and 'Other' as NewRole in the temp talbe in order to run an update I'm writing.
I know a case statement isn't necessary here, but this section is only one small part of a larger script, so I just used it to be consistent, and it will be easier to make any future changes this way. Below is my code and the error message I'm getting...
select
ixo_key,
ixo_title as Title,
ixo_rlt_code as OldRole,
CASEWHEN ixo_title is null
or ixo_title = ''
or ixo_title = ' '
or ixo_title = ' ' THEN 'Other'
END as NewRole
from
co_customer (nolock)
join co_individual_x_organization (nolock) on ixo_key = cst_ixo_key --and ixo_delete_flag = 0
where
cst_delete_flag = 0
and cst_type = 'Individual'
and ixo_rlt_code is null
This is the Error Message I get:
Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 1095
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'NewRole', table 'tempdb.dbo.#temp_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________00000001698C'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
I'm inserting data from a c# webservice into a table via a stored procedure, but I get a Column does not allow nulls on the @alert_id column/field. It is set as int and allow nulls is not ticked.
Here's the sql:

Hi,I basically have two tables with the same structure. One is an archiveof the other (backup). I want to essentially insert the data in to theother.I use:INSERT INTO table ( column, column .... )SELECT * FROM table2Now, table2 has a rule on various columns:@CHARACTER IN ('Y','N')but the column allows nulls, in the design view is says so anyway.When I run this query I get:A column insert or update conflicts with a rule imposed by a previousCREATE RULE statement. The statement was terminated. The conflictoccurred in database 'database', table 'table', column 'column'.The statement has been terminated.Obviously, I've changed the names of everything.The only data in those columns which could possibly conflict with therule is the NULL value. Any ideas why this doesn't work?Thanks.
Hi, I have a proc, if i run that proc from query analyzer it completes in 12 sec. I want those results to be inserted into temp table. When i try to insert the results from Stored proc to temp table it is taking 5 min.
What could be the cause of the problem? Any help would be greately appreciated. sskris
I have a temp table in my stored procedure when I try to insert into the temp table thro dynamic sql, it says that table has to be defined. What could be the problem. i have added the code below
CREATE PROCEDURE USP_RULE AS declare @TABLE1 table ( SlNo int identity(1,1), EqNum varchar(25),Pointnum varchar(25) ) declare @EqNum varchar(25),@Pointnum varchar(25) DECLARE @STRDBNAME VARCHAR(50) SET @STRDBNAME = 'DB1' EXEC('insert into '+@TABLE1+' select EQNUM,POINTNUM from '+@STRDBNAME+'..TABLE2')
I have an ASP page that opens a recordset on a stored procedure. I've had it in production for over a year, and it usually works fine - subsecond response. However, in the past couple weeks, the recordset open command has intermittently started to return timeout errors. It's very strange: when the timeout occurs, it can be dependably reproduced by opening the ASP page with the same parameter that produced the initial timeout. However, if you pass a different parameter to the procedure, it runs fine! It only times out when using the specific parameter that produced the initial timeout.
Even stranger: If, when attempting to debug it, I use QA to run the sp with the "defective" parameter, the sp invariably runs fine! And subsequent runs of the ASP page start working as well!
I have repeated this process many times in the past couple weeks: receive a report of the timeout error; open the asp page with the parameter that produced the timeout to verify; repeat; open the asp page with a different parameter - works fine; repeat with the initial parameter - timeout; Open QA and run the sp - no problem; refresh the asp page - no more symptom.
The connection to the SQL Server (7.0) uses a specific SQL login for all communications with the server. So all asp pages are logged in under the same name. I thought this might be a connection pooliing issue, so this morning, when the problem occurred, I logged into QA as the special name, but again, there was no problem running the sp from QA.
So - I've run SQL Profiler to track what's going on when the problem occurs and I've discovered the last statement to successfully run. Here is the sp:
/* * File Name: np_GetAvailablePreviews.sql
Returns a list of "reports" available to be previewed, defined as:

I did not provide a repro script because the problem is so intermittent that I doubted it would do anyone any good.
However if someone feels they want to try to reproduce this, I will attempt to create a repro script for them.
I suspect there is an issue with the temp table, but it's such a moving target that I haven't been able to pin it down.
I need to insert FK information into a temp table using database name and table name as a parameter.
I've been trying different ways, even with global temp table, but still doesn't work. Below is the code showing what I am trying to achieve. I want to avoid global temp table if possible.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##FKs') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE ##FKs CREATE TABLE ##FKs ( [ForeginKeyName] [nvarchar](128) NULL, [TableSchema] [sysname] NULL, [TableName] [nvarchar](128) NULL, [RelatedTableSchema] [sysname] NULL,

Below is a simplified table & dataset to illustrate a problem I'm experiencing with a more complex one.
Code Block
create table #test( recno smallint PRIMARY KEY, value decimal (18,2))
insert into #test values (1, 3.57) insert into #test values (2, 5.32) insert into #test values (3,6.29) insert into #test values (4, 9.25) insert into #test values (5, 0.84)
Method 1: I tried inserting rows from #test into a temp table (#table) as follows
Code Block
declare @n as nvarchar(3) set @n = 1 while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test) begin exec (' insert into ##table select *, originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+') from #test' ) set @n = @n + 1 end However, this yields an error message:
Code Block
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Invalid object name '##table'. Note - you can comment out the insert into ##table line above to view the results that I'm trying to put into ##table.
Method 2: next I tried explicitly creating ##table & rerunning the loop containing the insert
declare @n as nvarchar(3) set @n = 1 while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test) begin exec (' insert into ##table select *, originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+') from #test' ) set @n = @n + 1 end This worked - it inserted the data from the select statements in the loop into ##table.
I writing a unit test which has one stored proc calling data from another stored proc.

I've forgotten how to put a null value in a column of a table where a previous value existed before.
What I mean is if through EM, you look at the data (Open Table -> Return all Rows) and you see a value in a column that is nullable (for example, I want to change a column that has a 'ABC Company' to a NULL value).
How do you that - i've done it in the past ,but cannot remember
I'm using ADO.NET and have noticed that it is somewhat more difficult to send/receive nulls to/from the database. What are the benefits (if any exist) with storing a null value in the db as opposed to a default value?
In particular, do you save any space by storing a null opposed to a zero or 01/01/1900? Are the nulls faster for searching/comparing when querying the db? Basically I'm just wondering if storing nulls is really the best practice and why, so that I know whether it's worth the effort in .NET to transform my variables into a null-happy form.
Hi, I have fields in my table which allow nulls. Is it efficient to not insert anything (the field automatically shows up as null in this case) and leave or store some value into it. The field is a smallint field?
I am trying to insert data into two different tables. I will insert into Table 2 based on an id I get from the Select Statement from Table1. Insert Table1(Title,Description,Link,Whatever)Values(@title,@description,@link,@Whatever)Select WhateverID from Table1 Where Description = @DescriptionInsert into Table2(CategoryID,WhateverID)Values(@CategoryID,@WhateverID) This statement is not working. What should I do? Should I use a stored procedure?? I am writing in C#. Can someone please help!!
I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.
When i do a select on my emplee table for rows with null idCompany i dont get any records
I then try to modify the table to not allow a null idCompany and i get this error message:
'Employee (aMgmt)' table - Unable to modify table. Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'idCompany', table 'D2.aMgmt.Tmp_Employee'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
To make the long story short, we have a situation where there can be different datatypes for a column. For example, 'AttributeValue' can be a datetime, int, float etc. My DBA is suggesting the following design,
For any AttributeId, only one of the value columns will have a value and the rest will be NULLs. I feel that this is a bad design. (FYI, We decided against SQLVariant for specific reasons). I have suggested, we create a seperate table for each datatype, like
tblAttribute: AttributeId, AttributeDataTypeId
tblAttributeValueFloat: AttributeId INT, AttributeValue FLOAT tblAttibuteValueDateTime: AttributeId INT, AttributeValue DATETIME etc for each datatype.
Depending on the AttributeDataTypeId in the Attribute table go to the specific table and pick up the value. This way, we don't need to have too many NULLs in a row. Which of the 2 do you think is a better design? And if you agree with me, what would be the points to support it.
I have created a table Table with name as Varchar and id as int. Now i have started inserting the rows like, insert into Table values ('arun',20).Yes i have inserted a row in the table. Now i have got the values " arun's ", 50. insert into Table values('arun's',20) My sqlserver is giving me an error instead of inserting the row. How will you solve this problem?
I apologize if this has been posted/asked before... a search of the Forum for keyword "NULL" doesn't return any result (not even a 0 found).
When I import an XLS file into SQL2000, everything goes fine, except that every column after my data has <NULL> in it. How do I prevent this from happening, or fix it?
Our database stores vehicle data in one table, but 3 different types of data are stored in the one table. The table contains all the columns for all 3 types so when you query the table you get at least 3 rows back with null values for all the columns that don't apply to that record. The data is imported to the table when it's updates so there's a possibility that they're updated at different times so they have a different BATCH like:
BATCH TYPE ID RATING INSURANCE SAFETY 300 SAFE 123 NULL NULL A 300 INS 123 NULL YES NULL 250 RATE 123 A NULL NULL
What I'd like returned is: ID, RATING, INSURANCE, SAFETY 123 A YES A
I'm trying to do a case statement to pull the data down, but I keep ending up with multiple rows because of all the nulls. I tried doing a SUM of the case statement with an ISNULL(SAFETY,0) but I can't SUM char values. I can probably do this with 3 temp tables to load the data that I want for each TYPE into them and then select and join them together, but is there a better way to do this?
is there an elegant way to use one equals sign in a where clause that returns true when both arguments are null, and returns true when neither is null but both are equal and returns false when only one is null?
Hi folks,I'm doing calculations based on data in a table, but the data has somezeros in the field I'm dividing by. I'm trying to write a script toreplace any field with 0 or null with 1, but it's not working. HEre'swhat I've got:Update A Set A.deptcode = A.deptcode,A.type = A.Type,A.Volume = (case A.VolumeWhen Null Then 1When 0 then 1Else A.VolumeEnd)From Data_Unsorted A Join Data_Unsorted B OnA.deptcode = B.deptcode and A.type = B.TypeMy table is data_unsorted and deptcode and type are my primary keysVolume is the item I want to put 1 if null or zero, and I'd thing theabove statement would work, but it doesn't. This table has 383 rows,and it says it updates 383 rows, but when I run the following query totest:select a.deptcode, a.type, a.volumefrom data_unsorted awhere a.AveMonthVolume = 0 or a.AveMonthVOlume is nullIt didn't work... still TONS of nulls and zero's. Is there a trick tothis???Thanks,Alex.
I am trying to import an Excel Spreadsheet into SQL2005. There is a column in the spreadsheet that has character values, and numbers. I have formatted the numbers as text on the spreadsheet. I have declared the column on the table as char/varchar/nchar, but whatever I do, the numbers don't get imported into the table, but show up as nulls. Any idea why?
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it. --no compilation error. CREATE PROC testTemp AS BEGIN INSERT INTO #tmp(dt) SELECT GETDATE() END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
