I have a SQL Server View. The problem is that the DateTime field has many Null values which is causing a problem with my parsing of the data in MSAccess.
How would I use CAST (or CONVERT) to handle Null Date values in my SQL Server view?
I remember there was a way to use CAST or CONVERT similar to the nz type function in MSAccess to handle null date values but I can't remember the syntax. What is happening now is that I get a data mismatch in my MSAccess function when it hits a Null Date value. Can I somehow use the ISNULL or ISDate function? I believe I need to somehow return "" instead of Null.
I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?
The column prod_Master.M2_Pct is defined as float.Yet for some of the rows, the value in [% of Total Target] comes up as null even though there is a number in prod.Measure column. There is valid non-null data in prod_Master.M2_Pct.
I tried LTRIM(RTRIM(prod.Measure)), but no change.
Use ProdDB SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.prod.ProdNo AS [Prod No], dbo.prod.ProdName AS [Prod Name], CASE WHEN dbo.prod.Measure = 'P1' THEN dbo.prod_Master.P1_Pct WHEN dbo.prod.Measure = 'P2' THEN dbo.prod_Master.P2_Pct WHEN dbo.prod.Measure = 'P3' THEN dbo.prod_Master.P3_Pct WHEN dbo.prod.Measure = 'P4' THEN dbo.prod_Master.P4_Pct
My goal is to select values from the same date range for a month on month view to compare values month over month. I've tried using the date trunc function but I'm not sure what the best way to attack this is. My thoughts are I need to somehow select first day of every month + interval 'x days' (but I don't know the syntax).In other words, I want to see
Select Jan 1- 23rd feb 1-23rd march 1-23rd april 1-23rd ,value from table
I want to concat strings such that if one string is null, it is treated as an empty string. For example 'abc' + NULL = 'abc'.
SQL Server has the CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL defaulted to ON, and it needs to be on in most cases when dealing with indices. (INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, etc.) However, when I am running a select, and one field has a null value, I still want to see the other fields in the resulting string.
I can do this in a function, but I need a view, and the view doesn't seem to let me save a command with 'SET' in it. (However, it does let me run the command! And it works!) It's just when I try to save it, I get a syntax error, so the view is unavailable to me as I want it.
The command that works, but won't save is:
PHP Code:
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF SELECT t1.field1+'-'+'t2.field2 AS viewField FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.fk1=t2.pk2
I am creating a view and want to select records where the value of a Customer field (Klant Test Plan) is NULL or has exact the same value as for example customer field 2 (Klant Schedule).
I have already the code below:
SELECT DISTINCT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.Product.ERPKey, dbo.TestPlan.CoA, dbo.TestMethod.WorkInstruction, dbo.Customer.Name AS [Klant Testplan], Customer_1.Name AS [Klant Schedule], LEFT(dbo.ShopFloor.ShopFloorNumber, 7) AS Schedule, CASE WHEN Customer_1.Name = 'ItsMe BV' THEN Customer.Name ELSE Customer_1.Name END AS Customer FROM dbo.Customer AS Customer_1 INNER JOIN
I have a table that has a date field that can't be null. When a new record is created, if a date is not passed in, I want the default to be the current date. How can I set that? I tried Now, Today, GetDate, etc. Diane
I have a problem with a SQL that check if a date column IS NULL. On one server the check work ok but on another (the same data is on both - restored copy) the check does not find any NULL values. If check where datecolumn =convert(datetime,'9999-12-31 23:59:59.000',121) I get the same result as when checking for NULL in the other.
Is there any parameter set somewhere that tell the server to return a value even if NULL is stored in the database?
I have 3 dates one of them could be NULL . I do not want my min to display it as NULL.Below is my script. Is there a way I could do it?
select Order_id, customer_id, date_1, date_2, date_3 into #temp1 from ##Temp_dates (nolock) Select Case when (date_1 < date_2 and date_1< date_3) then date_1 when (date_2< date_1 and date_2< date_3) then date_2
Caseinfo shows when a particular case entered and exited a particular project. If the project hasn't ended yet, then the end date is NULL.
Steps shows the steps the case has gone through and the dates of those particular steps.
I need to join the tables to show the steps the case went through during a particular project, but I'm having trouble with the NULL values in the end dates.
If I join the tables so that the step date is between the start and end dates of the project, then I get no step information for the cases where the end date is NULL (that is, where the project hasn't ended yet).
Does anybody have any ideas?
Here are my tables, the query that shows the main idea (with the wrong result), and my expected results.
insert @caseinfo select 10, '2006-12-23', '2006-12-27' union all select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL union all select 30, '2006-12-23', NULL union all select 40, '2007-1-15', '2007-3-4'
insert @steps select 10, 1, '2006-12-24' union all select 10, 2, '2007-1-3' union all select 10, 3, '2007-2-5' union all select 20, 1, '2006-12-26' union all select 20, 2, '2007-1-7' union all select 20, 3, '2007-1-9' union all select 30, 1, '2007-1-14' union all select 40, 1, '2007-1-23' union all select 40, 2, '2007-3-2' union all select 40, 3, '2007-4-16'
--- the main idea (with the wrong results)
select * from @caseinfo c left join @steps s on s.caseid = c.caseid and s.stepdate between c.startdate and c.enddate
insert @expresult select 10, '2006-12-23', '2006-12-27', 1, '2006-12-24' union all select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL, 1, '2006-12-26' union all select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL, 2, '2007-1-7' union all select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL, 3, '2007-1-9' union all select 30, '2006-12-23', NULL, 1, '2007-1-14' union all select 40, '2007-1-15', '2007-3-4', 1, '2007-1-23' union all select 40, '2007-1-15', '2007-3-4', 2, '2007-3-2'

I know I am missing something basic, here. I have a date field in a table. The field is 'allowed Nulls'. When a certain thing happens in the program, the date is filled in. At various times, I need to do a query to find all the rows that have no dates entered.
What do I use in my where clause? SQL server does not like 'where date = null.'

Let me start by saying that I'm brand new to SQL Server 2005 and SSIS. I'm using the import wizard in SQL2005 to import from a flat file into a table and everything works fine except for dates. A typical date in my flat file is 01-JAN-06. 01 represents the day of the week, JAN represents the month and 06 represents the year. The flat file also contains date values of 00-XXX-00 which represent no date. For example a column containing last purchase date data would look like this:"DateOfLastOrder" "01-JAN-06" "02-JAN-06" "00-XXX-00" "03-DEC-05"The value of 00-XXX-00 means that there is no purchase date.I want to bring these columns into my table and replace the 00-XXX-00 values with a NULL.
The table Data Type is datetime.
If I use the import wizard using the example above I get this error message:
- Copying to [cpstest].[dbo].[date] (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

If I remove the 00-XXX-00 values and import something like this:
In my Excel file the date column contain some nulls. In Data conversion I am converting this Date column as Date[dt_date]. When I run the package it is giving the error Can not convert date to Copy of date.. This error is coming due to nulls in Date column. How to solve this error?
Hi, In my Excel file, The Application date column contains empty for some rows. In SSIS I am using one Data Conversion to that Application Date column to change it as Date[dt_Date]. This data conversion is giving error Conversion failed. In Sqlserver table, I declare ApplicationDate column datatype as DateTime. I want to keep those empty date values as Null in Sqlserver. I tried the IMEX=1 property still it is not working. How to solve this error?
I'm using SQL Server Express and am trying to import a CVS file. The CVS file contains a string field (named DAS) that represents a Date. This field can be null.
I've tried using the DTS Wizard to import this CVS file and convert the DAS field to a Date, which works great until it hits a record with a NULL DAS field. It then throws a convertion error.
Still using the DTS Wizard, I've changed the DataType of the DAS field in the Source file to [DT_DATE], it works fine but all the null dates are converted to 12/30/1899.
Is there a way (DTS Wizard or something else) that will allow me to import these CVS files with null Date fields and keep them as null in SQL Server table.
I want to add custom view so that it show the records that their dateis less than a specific field like "2007/12/25". Dates are saved in DB like "2006/08/29 12:00:00 A.M" nad smalldatetime format in MSSQL.what should I do?
quote:Run the view for orders shipped from January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003, formatting the shipped date as MON DD YYYY.
creating the view:
CREATE VIEW vw_orders AS SELECT o.order_id, c.customer_id, c.name AS 'customer_name', c.city, c.country, o.shipped_date FROM customers c INNER JOIN orders o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
running the view:
SELECT * FROM vw_orders WHERE shipped_date between '01/01/2003' and '06/30/2003' ORDER BY 'customer_name', 'country'
I am trying to incorporate a few columns into a view that each shows a certain value based on a logged datetime specific to the value. Unfortunately, the logtimes are accurate down to milliseconds, and each value has it's own logtime. (They're suppsoed to log at midnight, but sometimes log a few seconds early or late).
I want to be able to round up to 00:00:00 if it's 23:59:59 and down to the same time if it's 00:00:01. I can't very well just drop the time component because if a device logged at 00:00:01 on Aug 4 for the Aug 3rd average, and 23:59:59 for the Aug. 4rd data, then I'd have two Aug 4th values and zero Aug. 3rd values.
Additionally, I need to keep this in a datetime format for reporting purposed in Crystal Reports.
