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?
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
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%';
I have a Nullable columns. I want the value to be zero if NULL is passed.
1) having a view for every such table, 2) using ISNULL for needed columns in that view 3) using those view for inserts instead of using tables directly.
This way i can reduce the number of places to use ISNULL in all my SPs.I dont want to make it to NOT NULL, as my application impact will be high. And Default constraint does not work here.
I wrote a select statement, I only want to see orders with max lastUpdatedOn date of 14 days and older. Now my results show dates with all orders of 14 days and older (which is OK), but all others are displayed in the "Uitgifte" column as "NULL". But those orders should not be displayed at all.
selectdistinct ProductionHeader.ProdHeaderOrdNr, ProductionHeader.PartCode, ProductionHeader.Description, ProductionHeader.Qty, (select max (ProdStatusLog.ProdStatusCode)
we can  assign one parameter value for each excecution of  [SSISDB].[catalog].[set_object_parameter_value] by calling this catalog procedure..
Example: If I have 5 parameters in SSIS package ,to assign a value to those 5 parameters at run time should I call this [SSISDB].[catalog].[set_object_parameter_value] procedure 5 times ? or is there a way we can pass all the 5 parameters at 1 time .
1. Wondering if there is a way to pass multiple parameters in a single execution (for instance to pass XML string values ??) 2.What are the options to pass multiple parameter values to ssis package through stored procedure.?
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?
I'm in sql server mgmt 2005 and i highlighted a stored proc and clicked on "execute". I need to pass a null value in as the first param value to test this stored proc. what is the syntax, is below correct?
In some t-sql 2012 that I am using, I am using the following on 5 separate merge statements.
USING (select LKC.comboID,LKC.lockID,LKC.seq,A.lockCombo2,A.schoolnumber,LKR.lockerId from [LockerPopulation] A JOIN TST.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type JOIN TST.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber = LKR.number JOIN TST.dbo.Lock LK ON LKR.lockID = LK.lockID JOIN TST.dbo.LockCombination LKC ON LK.lockID = LKC.lockID and LKC.seq = 1 ) AS LKC2 (comboID,lockID,seq,combo)
What is different, is the value of LKC.seq = 1 as listed below. I am using 5 separate ctes
and the only value that changes is the LKC.seq number being a value between 1 and 5. Thus
can you pass a parameter value to the CTE that I just listed above? If so, would you show me
I have a scenario in which if I do bulk insertion in a table and if any error occurs then insertion should not stopped and will proceed with insertion of remaining records.
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
Here is some SQL for set up. There are over 500 formulas that need updating with over 400 different "look up" possibilities, so hard coding something isn't really an option.
Following SQL Statement is from BOL 7.0 and it doesn't return any data. But when I change the where clause to "WHERE advance IS NULL" it works. I am trying to do something like this in my own stored procedure. It works fine in 6.5 both ways. Is there any parameter to set? or any other problem. Thanks in advance.
SELECT title_id, type, advance FROM pubs.dbo.titles WHERE advance = NULL
I am importing an excel spreadsheet into tables in a sql server database using dts. I have one row of information filled out in the excel spreadsheet, but when the dts runs, it imports the information plus 5 extra rows filled with nulls ino the table.
I am writing a stored procedure and have a query where I create a variable from other table
Declare @Sem varchar (12) Null @Decision varchar(1) Null Select emplid,name, Semester Decision1=(select * from tbldecision where reader=1) Decision2=(select * from tbldecision where reader=2) Where Semester=@Sem And Decision1=@Decision
But I am getting error for Decision1 , Decision2. How can I do that.
Hello, i´m inserting values in a table defined as above,
/******** create table SERVICE_TYPE ( PK_TYPE numeric(8) not null IDENTITY, TYPE nvarchar(32) not null unique, DESCRIPTION nvarchar(256) null default(''), USER_VISIBLE numeric(1)not null, constraint PK_SERVICE_TYPE primary key (PK_TYPE) ) go **********/
these values are inserted throug ODBC with VC++, in the case of the DESCRIPTION Column, i´m sending null strings CString(""). this value will be filled after. What happens is that, when i query the database to show the records in this table, the database shows, for example:
If myDateTimeColumn contains a <NULL> value. How do you handle that when reading into a DateTime object in your code?DateTime myDate = Convert.ToDateTime(dr["myDateTimeColumn"]);Does not work, it throws: System.InvalidCastException: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I am curious as to what others are doing to handle this?

I would like to know if it's possible to pass NULL value to the database. I want to update a column, a parameter has to be passed in to do so, i.e @value = '123'. but if there were no parameter value, i.e @value = '', I want to the value in the database to be NULL. I don't want to pass (''). can this be achieved?
Hello,I am trying to import a CSV file into my SQL Server database, this file was originally generated by another database table (on another server) with the same structure, the table contains two columns of real datatype with Allow Null Value setto true for those columns, the CSV file contains the value NULL for theses columns, I am facing a problem when importing this file. This may be because DTS tries to represent values as strings then to convert them to real datatype which results in transforming the value "NULL" to real, I receive an error message saying.Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. TransformCopy 'DirectCopyXform' conversion error: Conversion invalid for datatypes on column pair 8 (source column 'Col008' (DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'zip_longitude' (DBTYPE_R4)). TransformCopy 'DirectCopyXform' conversion error: Conversion invalid for datatypes on column pair 7 (source column 'Col007' (DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'zip_latitude' (DBTYPE_R4)).How can I work around this problem? Any help would be appreciable
I am stuck on a query where I need to display all the month year values even if the corresponding count_booking values are NULL. The requirement is to display the 13 month year period from current date.
For e.g. if the date exists in the current month then starting from May 15 go all the way back to Apr 14.
My current query works in terms of displaying all the 13 months if the count_booking values exist for all the months. However, if some months are missing the values then those months don't show up.how to display all the months even if the values are NULL ? Query below:
SELECT COUNT(m.BOOKING_ID) AS count_booking, LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH, m.CREATE_DT), 3) + ' ' + RIGHT('00' + CAST(YEAR(m.CREATE_DT) AS VARCHAR), 2) AS month_name FROM MG_BOOKING AS m WHERE (m.CREATE_DT >= DATEADD(m, - 13, GETDATE()))
How to pass a null to SelectParameters in SqlDataSource? The type of "CreateDate" is DateTime, the following code can be run correctly! SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].ConvertEmptyStringToNull = true;SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].DefaultValue = "2006-11-12"; now I hope to pass null value to the Parameter "CreateDate", but the following 3 section codes don't work! SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].ConvertEmptyStringToNull = true;SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].DefaultValue = string.Empty; or SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].ConvertEmptyStringToNull = true;SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].DefaultValue =null; or SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].ConvertEmptyStringToNull = true;SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["CreateDate"].DefaultValue = "";
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?
I have an Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2003 format) with a column of values. The column is formated to General (although I've tried it formated to text). The values are alphanumeric. However, there are a few values that are completely numeric.
Example:
_ITEMNUMBER_
1-528
K214-5
184PR
45678
As can be seen, the last value is completely numeric. I am importing into a table with one column that is formated as nvarchar(50).
I use dtswizard.exe and do a simple import into the table and the alphanumeric values import just fine but anytime a value is completely numeric it has a NULL value in the table instead of the value that should be there.
I've tried changing the format of the column to nchar, char, etc, etc. Always comes in NULL.
I'm developing a web app using VS2005. I have a webpage with panel containing a gridview populated by a SQLdatasource. The SQLdatasource in turn is populated by a stored procedure that can take up to 5 parameters. The user types in up to 5 separate words (searchterms) in a text box which are then parsed and passed to the stored proc in the datasource which performs a fulltext search. The gridview then becomes visible. My problem is that unless the user types in 5 searchterms (no less), the gridview returns zero rows. 5 searchterms returns the proper results. Somehow, I need to be able to pass in null or empty values for unneeded parameters. I've tested the stored procedure in Query Analyzer and from within the SQLdatasource configuration (using Test Query) using 0 up to 5 parameters and it works fine, so that's not my problem. Here's the code that runs after the user types in their search term(s) and presses a button:Public Sub FTSearch_Command(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CommandEventArgs) Handles btnFullText.Command Dim x As Integer pnlFullText.Visible = Falsefiltertext = Replace(txtSearchTxt.Text, "'", "''") If Not filtertext Is Nothing Then filtertext = filtertext.Trim Else Return End IfDim arrayString() As String = filtertext.Split(" ") Dim length As Integer = arrayString.LengthFor x = 0 To (length - 1) If Not arrayString(x) Is Nothing ThenSelect Case x Case 0 : lblFTParm1.Text = arrayString(0)Case 1 : lblFTParm2.Text = arrayString(1) Case 2 : lblFTParm3.Text = arrayString(2)Case 3 : lblFTParm4.Text = arrayString(3) Case 4 : lblFTParm5.Text = arrayString(4) End Select End If Next pnlFullText.Visible = "True" End Sub Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I am using SQL Reporting Services to generate reports. I am calling the stored procedure from the reporting services. The procedure has parameters which take null. I am stuck with passing null to the parameter from the reporting services. I shows the error and the report is not generated. Could you please suggest the way to pass null to the stored procedure parameter from the SQL Reporting Services.
