SQL Server 2012 :: Check To See If Columns Are NOT NULL In A Record
Jun 25, 2015
I am looking for the best way to check to see if any columns are still NULL in a record. I have a form that gets filled out by users and the values entered into TableA. There are 6 columns in the table, 5 are responses and column6 indicates if the record is complete. So I want a way to see if all of the first 5 columns are NOT NULL and, if so, mark column6 with a 1.
I am thinking this would be a good thing for a trigger on INSERT or UPDATE to check to see if the first 5 columns are filled in and then mark the record as complete.
I am trying to create a stored procedure where.I need to loop through every row of the table and check if there exists a date in either of the column. If date exists in either of the column for every row, I need to update some other stuff.For the above table, it meets my requirement, so I need to update. However if the table is as below, it doesn't meet the requirement, so I don't need to update
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.
I have a table called Appointment, for storing (you guessed it) appointments at a medical practice. If an appointment is cancelled, I want to collect a cancellation reason, so let's say that I create a second table called Cancellation which has a foreign key relating to the Appointment table's primary key, AppointmentID, and another column, Reason. Now, in order to indicate that an appointment was cancelled, I could include a Cancelled column in the Appointment table with a bit datatype, or instead I could infer that an appointment must be cancelled if it has a corresponding record in the Cancellation table.
It may be that it'd be better to store the cancellation reason in the Appointment table - But regardless, let's say I stick with the two-table solution described above, and I subsequently want to write a query to list all appointments which have been cancelled. If I had the Cancelled column in the Appointment table, I could simply query for all records in that table where that column's value was FALSE. If I went the other way and DIDN'T have a Cancelled column, I could instead write a query joining the Appointment and Cancellation tables to return all records in Appointment with a corresponding record in Cancellation.
That latter method, whilst slightly more complicated because it involves joining two tables, seems to me to be the most normalised. Instead of storing the fact that an appointment is cancelled in two different tables, that fact is only stored in the Cancellation table. Would there be a performance hit in using the two-table, 'inferred cancellation' method rather than just having a bit column in the Appointment table? Would that performance hit be enough to persuade you to use a Cancellation column in the Appointment table instead? And what about if I were to apply that method to other things associated with each appointment, e.g. Is it completed? Is it chargeable to the client or an insurance company? Is the client and in-patient or out-patient?
In my report i have CNAME parameter , which allows null value. I checked Allow null value check box in report parameter properties.
when i preview the report , it displays checked NULL check box beside CNAME parameter . I want to give some meaningful name(i.e.ALLCustomers) to this checkbox instead of NULL.
Consider this scenario. I have two database in the sql server and consider that i have a query which has 4 tables inner joined. When i execute the query in the database1 , the query is returning rows, But when i execute the same query in the database2, the query is not retuning rows . I know that the no rows are returned because of missing data in the database2. But have no idea how to trace what values are missing in the database2. Please note the tables is having a huge list of records by which manually comparison is painfull. Please consider i dont have any background idea of the values in the tables but just using it. Any help would be appericated.
Is there anyway to check if server is having disk latency or IO issues?Found below in SQL error log

I have a job I want to run everyday but before this job starts and I want to check and see if another job has completed before I start this job. i would like to do this in the job steps in SSMS. step 1 is job 'xxxxxxx' running if no go to step 2 if yes exit
I have a table called SrcReg which is having a column name called IsSortSeqNo smallint. I am mapping this column in SSIS and the problem comes when I try to execute against different database which has this table but the column name as ISSortSeqNo. I mean both databases having same name but one with upper case. So SSIS fails executing due to meta validation issue.Is there any way to check whether the column name is in small case or upper case through query?
I have a table with a column Capacity which is char(10) and gets populated from user files. I want to check records which have negative Capacity value. So i first checked if its numeric and then for negative.
select * from table WHERE ISNUMERIC(LTRIM(RTRIM(Capacity))) = 1 AND Capacity < 0
BUT still it checks for char fields too giving errors like - Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'asdf ' to data type int.
I am trying to figure out how to use the select maximum command in SQL Server 2005. I have already created a database and I have it populate it with multiple fields and multiple records. I Would like to create a new column or field which contains the maximum value from four of the fields. I have already created a column and I am trying to figure out how to use a command or SQL statement which is entered into the computed equation or formula in the properties for this field/column.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
I know how to check for a sinle vlaue but how do I chekc to see if multiple values exist. I need to check for certain email addresses from a list that I have.
Let us say I ahve 3 email addresses, I want to check for all of them in a table and for eevery email address that is present I want to print something like "You email address is XXX" and if one of those 3 is not found my results should look like
"You email address is XXX" YYYYY not found "You email address is ZZZZ"
I'm attaching some TSQL that I tried on [AdventureWorks2012].[Person].[EmailAddress]
/****** Select ALL if where an email address is present in the list ******/ SELECT EmailAddressID,EmailAddress FROM [AdventureWorks2012].[Person].[EmailAddress] WHERE EmailAddress IN ( 'ken0@adventure-works.com', --1 'terri0@adventure-works.com', --2
[Code] ....
-- Test to see if a single email address is present
IF EXISTS ( SELECT EmailAddress FROM [AdventureWorks2012].[Person].[EmailAddress] WHERE EmailAddress IN ('25rob0@adventure-works.com') ) BEGIN SELECT 'Email address is presnt'
[Code] ....
When I check multiples using EXISTS it works as per its design and says YES even if a single item is present.
I have a excel sheet with some data and blank columns. I have a ssis package using to import data from excel to sql table. For blank excel columns it is importing as null instead i want to show them as '0'. If data comes in it should update the data.
They are sent to the sproc as null. Since they could be null I need to exclude them from posting to a temp table
Example
DECLARE @QuantityID uniqueidentifier, @LengthID uniqueidentifier, @CostID uniqueidentifier SET @CostID = NEWID() SELECT @QuantityID as ID UNION ALL SELECT @LengthID UNION ALL SELECT @CostID
Two values are null. I want those excluded from this table
Here is the example of what I am trying to do:
DECLARE @QuantityID uniqueidentifier, @LengthID uniqueidentifier, @CostID uniqueidentifier DECLARE @Temp as Table (id uniqueidentifier NOT NULL Primary key) SET @CostID = NEWID() INSERT INTO @Temp SELECT @QuantityID as ID UNION ALL SELECT @LengthID UNION ALL SELECT @CostID
I want to join 2 tables, table a and table b where b is a lookup table by left outer join. my question is how can i generate a flag that show whether match or not match the join condition ?
**The lookup table b for column id and country are always not null values, and both of them are the keys to join table a. This is because same id and country can have multiples rows in table a due to update date and posting date fields.
example table a id country area 1 China Asia 2 Thailand Asia 3 Jamaica SouthAmerica 4 Japan Asia
example table b id country area 1 China Asia 2 Thailand SouthEastAsia 3 Jamaica SouthAmerica 5 USA America
Expected output id country area Match 1 China Asia Y 2 Thailand SouthEastAsia Y 3 Jamaica SouthAmerica Y 4 Japan Asia N
I have two tables, a dates table and a values table. They are joined on the date column.The date table has a range, say from today as far as 20 days from now, incrementing by 1 day each row.The values table may have a row for a day, and may not. If the day has a value I want to display that value.If the day does not have a value in the values table I want to display the last known value.
I think this can be done with windowing functions in a set based manner but have not been able to work it out. I have done it procedurally but im not happy with that at all, and really want to see if this is possible in a set based manner.Below is some simplified code to allow testing with sample data.
create table DimDate ( DateCol date ) create table TotalsData ( DateCol date
Will both statements above access only a single page (as it fits into one page) or does the VARCHAR(MAX) always put its data on a separate page. If so, is the null insert treated differently from the '' insert?
The following t-sql 2012 works fine in sql management studio. However when I place it in a .net 2010 web form application, I am told the sql does not work when the parameter values are null. Thus can you tell me what I can change in the sql below that will accept null as 3 possible input values?
CREATE TABLE A (ID INT IDENTITY (1,1)) CREATE TABLE B (ID INT, EMPID VARCHAR(10)) INSERT INTO A DEFAULT VALUES GO 5 INSERT INTO B VALUES (1,'E23') INSERT INTO B VALUES (1,'E24') INSERT INTO B VALUES (2,'E23')
from the above code i would like to get output like
Question in review today is Creating a Report showing the FName, LName of all Employees not Specified in a region; I would assume "No Value to be Null" Correct?
Or is there another way for me to do this?
This is what I have so far...What am I missing that this is not showing me results?
Select Firstname, Lastname, Region From Employees WHERE Region LIKE 'null%';
To see where is the problem I am trying to count rows in the database.First I create a table A with 2 columns namely tablename, rowbefore and rowafter and I insert records in it as below.
INSERT INTO A SELECT TableName = o.name, '', Rows = max(i.rows) FROM sysobjects o INNER JOIN sysindexes i ON o.id = i.id WHERE xtype = 'u' AND OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id,N'IsUserTable') = 1 GROUP BY o.name ORDER BY o.name Then I update rowbefore with rowafter as below. UPDATE A SET rowbefore = rowafter
Now I launch my application with update records in the database.Then I am trying to update rowafter with new records as below.
UPDATE A SET rowafter = (SELECT max(sysindexes.rows) FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN sysindexes ON sysobjects.id = sysindexes.id WHERE xtype = 'u' AND OBJECTPROPERTY(sysobjects.id,N'IsUserTable') = 1 AND A.tablename = sysobjects.name)
Does this update really update my column rowafter or not?
Hi I have two tables. one MasterDetail and second is countrydetail In master detail i have MasterDetailId (Primary) and countryId. In CountryDetail table I have Countrid (Primary),CountryName. I don't want to give relationship because i can insert null value in countryid in MasterDetail table. So i have wriiten query like this -> select c.CountryName,m.MasterDetailId from MasterDetail m,CountryDetail c where c.CountryId=m.CountryId and m.MasterDetailId= '2' If In MasterDetail table if CountryId is null then it will not show me any record. So I want that record and its value with this query and checking null values. Help me about solving this query. Thank You
I am trying to create a stored proc. I have to check a parameter for null value and if null then set it to zero Here is the stored proc set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON go ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UPDATENOA] ( @Accepted char(10), @NOAId bigint, @Court char(30), @RetainerType char(30), @PendingInTaxCourt char(1) ) AS begin UPDATE NOA set StageCode = Accepted,Court=@Court,RetainerType=@RetainerType,PendingInTaxCourt=@PendingInTaxCourt where NOAId = @NOAId; Declare @Sequence int Select @Sequence = MAX(Sequence) From [dbo].[NOAStages] where NOAId=@NOAId; if @Sequence IS NULL { @Sequence=0 } Insert into [dbo].[NOAStages] (NOAId,StageCode,Sequence) values (@NOAId,@Accepted,@Sequence+1) But this is giving me error. What is the correct way to do this. Thanks
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
I have a dataset where i want to select the records that matches my input values. But i only want to try macthing a field in my dataset aginst the input value, if the dataset value is not NULL.
I always submit all 4 input values.
@Tyreid, @CarId,@RegionId,@CarAgeGroup
So for the first record in the dataset i get a succesfull output if my input values matches RegionId and CarAgeGroup.
I cant figure out how to create the SQl script for this SELECT?
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.
