In a query in SQL server 2005 I have a column LastName + ', ' + FirstName.
All works fine except when a LastName or FirstName = NULL then the result is NULL.
How do I get around this?
Thanks
A Newbie to SQL.
I have two columns A (which allows nulls) and B( which does not allow nulls).
How can I add the contents of columns A and B SO THAT I DO NOT GET A NULL RESULT WHEN A IS NULL.
The result of A+B concatanation will be stored in a column, C.
Appreciate your help

Hello guys I have a very simple query that is to be used to verify what users have access to what servers. Here it is:
/* SQL Server & Windows NT login name, security access */
USE master
go
SELECT name, loginname, sysadmin, securityadmin, serveradmin, setupadmin, @@SERVERNAME
FROM syslogins
WHERE status != 0
AND ((sysadmin = 1) OR (securityadmin =1) OR (serveradmin =1) OR (setupadmin = 1))
I would like to know how to stop the columns that have a null or 0 value from being returned to me. I don't want to see a bunch of 0s since almost no users do have these privaleges, I'd rather have that be hidden. Do I need to create a view for this? Thank You!
If i have a table with Col1,Col2,Col4, and Col5, how can I create and add a Col3 with null values? The format would be varchar.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I've got a query on a particular table returning an odd result:
SELECT DISTINCT WorkStation
FROM Invoice
WHERE WorkStation Is Not Null
ORDER BY WorkStation
This query returns the rows I'd expect plus a null row. This doesn't happen in databases at other sites, or in other tables at this site. The following query behaves as I'd expect returning only non-null AccountNumbers.
SELECT DISTINCT AccountNumber
FROM Suppliers
WHERE AccountNumber Is Not Null
ORDER BY AccountNumber
I can't reproduce these results on another site on a table of the same structure, or on another table at this site.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on?

I have a query that returns a list of results from the database and insert the results into a datatable. Is there any way to add a column to the query result that has autonumbers in it. for example the first record would have 1 the next 2, the next 3, and so on?

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
Hi,
I want to perform the following select statement
select (sum(ColA) + sum(ColB) + sum(ColC)) / 3
from tableA
Where ....
I want to add the sum of the columns and then divide it by a constant. The problem I am having is there are a lot of nulls in the database that I am working on (i.e. one of the values in the ColB is Null, which makes the result of the entire expession null).
How do I get around this. I need to add the values of the columns?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I've one table named tableAB. in that i've added one new column with not null option in the enterprise manager. then i've generated the script, and run the script in client database. because already data is there, it is not accepting to put null value in the new column. so the is missing. anyway backup is there with me.
what is the solution for this....

Is there a way to ignore a column/variable when the whole result set for the applied filter (where) is null?
Not all clients have data for every variable, i.e. some variables are client specific. There are too many variables and clients to amend the select query every time so I just want to ignore a col if its null.
I hope that makes sense (my inability to describe it might explain my inability to find anything related to it!)
The next step would be to run all clients' data in one go using, I believe, a cursor, but one step at a time!
I have a query where one or more of the columns returned is a resultfrom a subquery. These columns get their own alias. I want to filterout the rows containing NULL from the subqueries but it just won'twork.

Adding more columns in a matrix report that don€™t
belong to the columns drilldown dimensions€¦
That is, for example, having the following report:
Product Family
Product
Country City Number of units sold
Then I
would add some ratios, that is, Units Sold/Months (sold per month) and other that
is the average for Product Family (Units Sold/Number of Product Family), for putting an example€¦ some
columns should be precalculated prior to the report so do not get into it, the
real problem I don€™t see how to solve is adding one or two columns for showing
these calculated column that doesn€™t depend on the column groups but they do
for the rows groups€¦
Any guidance
on that?
The only
way I am seeing by now is to set it as two different reports, and that is not
what my client wants€¦

Hi,
I'm merge replicating a SQL Server 2005 database (publisher) to SQL Compact databases (subscribers) on mobile devices. I understood that I could add a "not null" column to a replicated table on the server as long as I specified a default value, but it seems this is not possible. I ran the following script on the server database:
ALTER TABLE Activity ADD ActivityRequiresProject bit not null default(0)
which executed OK. When I went to synchronize the db on the mobile device I got the following error:
Alter table only allows columns to be added which can contain null values. The column cannot be added to the table because it does not allow null values.
The SQL statement failed to execute. If this occurred while using merge replication, this is an internal error. If this occurred while using RDA, then the SQL statement is invalid either on the PULL statement or on the SubmitSQL statement. [ SQL statement = alter table "Activity" add "ActivityRequiresProject" bit not NULL constraint "DF__Activity__Activi__4A47DDAE" default ( ( 0 ) ) ]
Does anyone know if this is a valid error? Is is possible to add a not null column with default, and if not how do I update the schema on a replicated database?

Greg
I'm trying to get the records in table1 not in table2 the query is
Select * from table1 where not exists (select * from table2)
--table1 and table2 ,structure are same
It will get a null result
Strange thing , while I add a where condition in the subquery, it worked.
Select * from table1 where not exists (select * from table2 where table1.ID =table2.ID)
It will get the result as expected.
I just thought it would compare all the fileds for the outer query and inner query, but seems not. Why, I add a condition, it worked ?
I am having problems adding a date field to a SQL Server Database from a form in ASP.Net. When I leave the date field blank, it automatically inserts Monday, January 01, 1900.

I'm new to replication and am trying to determine the best approach to add a column (NOT NULL with no DEFAULT) to a replicated table. The only success I have had is if I do the following:
Delete entire Subscription
Delete entire Publication
Add column to table
Create new Publication
Create new Subscription
Run SnapShot
The problem with this approach is that each step affects the entire database and not just the modified table. I think it is inefficient to redo replication for a simple object change. What am I missing? Is there a way to only replicate the changes made to the one table without having to run a SnapShot for the entire publication?
Keep in mind the column must be defined as NOT NULL and cannot have a Default.
Thanks, Dave

I am familiar with the ALTER TABLE syntax that can be used to add columns to an existing table, but the columns are appended to the end of the table. Enterprise Manager allows you to insert a column in the desired place in the table, but I suspect that behind the scenes it creates a temp table with the new structure, drops the old version of the table and renames the temp table to the orginal table name (I could be wrong on this).
Is there a way to insert a new column in a specific place in a table using SQL rather than EM?
I have a table with 6 columns. which we can call a, b, c, d, e, f. What I want to achieve is to put data in column d and e and then split this result in column f.
The data I want to put in column d and e is already exported and executed from a table called exp_data, which is from a period of november.
So this is what i have so far but is not working:
update split_table set d =
select amount from exp_data
where period = '1111'
and exp_data.account = split_table.b
and exp_data.company = split_table.a
The error I get is incorrect syntax near select. Fixed the issue by adding a parenthesis before the select until the end...

WhiteSydney 6548521007562 10.65
The requirement is that if the Client No is the same that the Account No and Balance appear on the same row but just additional columns. There is no restriction on how many extra columns there would be.
Once the query is working it needs to go into Visual Studio so that the report can be set up as a subscription.
