Value +00000000000000 Considered As NULL Values In The Last Column

Apr 4, 2006



Hello

I use a Flat File Connection Manager for a file with 18 columns.

My column delimiter is the "~" caracter and my row delimiter is "{CR}{LF}"

The source files contains about 2300 lines. None of them contain NULL values.

My last row is a numeric(16,2). Even if it is not the appropriate type for the value I want extract, it works with all my columns.

My problem is with the last column. I have read the SQL Server 2005 interpretation of the row delimiter as actually the last row column delimiter.

But, here, my values are OK and put in the destination table if it is not 0 : "+0000000001352" for example in the file.

If it is 0 : "+00000000000000", and if I considered errors as INGORE FAILURE and put data in the destination table, accepting NULL values, I have NULL values in table for these 0 values. And correct values for non-0 values.

How do you explain that ? How I can fix the problem and correctly read my file ?



For your information, if I REDIRECT ROW in the Flat File Error Output, the ErrorCode is : -1071607676 and ErrorDescription is "The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow."

Integration Services :: SSIS Package - Replacing Null Values In One Column With Values From Another Column

Sep 3, 2015

I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.

What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column. 

I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.

Compressing Multiple Rows With Null Values To One Row With Out Null Values After A Pivot Transform

Jan 25, 2008

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?

Parameterized Query That Counts The Number Of Null Values In An Int32 Column

Jul 18, 2006

Using c# in the compact framework, is there a way to do a parameterized query for counting the number of records where a specified column is null. I tried all of these, but none of them work:

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlInt32.Null));
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", DBNull.Value));

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlInt32.Null));

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", DBNull.Value));


cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));

cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;

cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));

cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;

cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";



cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));


cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;


cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));


cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));



cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

md.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));



cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";



cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));




cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;


cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

Whenever I use a "is not" in the query I get an exception, otherwise it returns a count of 0 which is not accurate. Any help will be appreciated.

NULL Values Returned When Reading Values From A Text File Using Data Reader.

Feb 23, 2007

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?

Null Values For Datetime Values Converted To '0001-01-01'

Mar 29, 2006

Hi

can somebody explain me how I can assign a NULL value to a datetime type field in the script transformation editor in a data flow task.
In the script hereunder, Row.Datum1_IsNull is true, but still Row.OutputDatum1 will be assigned a value '0001-01-01' which generates an error (not a valid datetime). All alternatives known to me (CDate("") or Convert.ToDateTime("") or Convert.ToDateTime(System.DBNull.Value)) were not successful.
Leaving out the ELSE clause generates following error: Error: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.




If Not Row.Datum1_IsNull Then

Row.OutputDatum1 = Row.Datum1

Else

Row.OutputDatum1 = CDate(System.Convert.DBNull)

End If



Any help welcome.

Use Order By But Want NULL Values As High Values

Nov 9, 2000

Hi,

My query "select blah, blah, rank from tablewithscores" will return results that can legitimately hold nulls in the rank column. I want to order on the rank column, but those nulls should appear at the bottom of the list

e.g.

Rank Blah Blah
1 - -
2 - -
3 - -
NULL - -
NULL - -

At present the NULLs are at the top of the list, but I do not want my ranking in descending order. Any suggestions?

Thanks

LIKE Is Considered Awful From Performance Point Of View?

Oct 4, 2006

Hi all,
first of all I shoud mention it that I have posted a similar question in Oracle forum and recieve enough oracle-related feedback and solution, here (http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?t=1609238).

Now I want to know if LIKE searches are awful (performance wise) in SQL Server too, do you recommand any solution to enhance it by some indexing twick? I want to avoid using MS index service (if I spell it correctly) as far as I could ;)

Note: We have a lot of LIKE '%abc%' queries at this system.

-Thanks in advance for your time and help :)

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Cannot Define Primary Key Constraint On Nullable Column But Column Not Null

Sep 30, 2014

We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-

/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](

[Code] ....

The script I am using is

DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change
DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column
DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed
DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table
DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script

[Code] ....

When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

Looking at the strings I build

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error

Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.

Analysis :: Bitmask Column Values As Dimension Values

Jun 18, 2015

Bitmask fields! I am capturing row changes manually via a high frequency ETL task.  It works effectively however i am capturing the movement of multiple fields.  A simple example, for Order lines, i have a price, a discount and a date.  I am capturing a 001, 010, 100 respectively for each change.  

I would like my users to be able to select from a dimension which has the 3 members in it and they can select one, multiples, or all values (i.e. only want to see rows that have had the date and price changed). 

Obviously if i only had 3 columns i would use bit's and be done with it, i have many different values (currently around 24 and growing).

Using NOT IN With Null Values

Hi, I ve a table,  I want to fetch certain rows based on the value of a Column. That column is nullable, and contains NULL values.I used the following query,SELECT Col_A FROM TABLE1 WHERE SOME_ID = 1317 AND Col_B NOT IN (8,9) Here,  Col_B contains NULL values too. I need to fetch all rows where Col_B is not 8 or 9.Now, if I use "NOT IN", it does not work. I tried reading on it and got to know why it does not work. Even "NOT EXISTS" does not help. But still I've to fetch my values. How do I do that?Thanks & Regards,Jahanzeb

SQL Null Values In VB

Apr 10, 2006

I have tried doing a search, as I figured this would be a common problem, but I wasn't able to find anything.  I know that my SP is functional because when I use VWD execute the query outside of the webpage, I get the correct results -however I have to ensure that a field is either entered, or set to <NULL>.  In my SET's I want it to use the wildcards.
What I want is to do a search (plenty of existing topics on that, however none were of help to me).  If a field is entered, then it is included in the search.  Otherwise it should be ignored.  In my VB I have the standard stored procedure call, passing in values to all of the parameters in the stored proc below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SearchDog@tagnum int,@ownername varchar(50), @mailaddress varchar(50),@address2 varchar(50),@city varchar(50),@telephone varchar(50),@doggender varchar(50),@dogbreed varchar(50),@dogage varchar(50),@dogcolour varchar(50),@dogname varchar(50),@applicationdate varchar(50)AS IF @tagnum=-1  SET @tagnum=NULL  SET @ownername = '%'+@ownername+'%'  SET @mailaddress = '%'+@mailaddress+'%'  SET @address2='%'+@address2+'%'  SET @city = '%'+@city+'%'  SET @telephone='%'+@telephone+'%'  SET @dogcolour='%'+@dogcolour+'%'  SET @dogbreed='%'+@dogbreed+'%'  SET @dogage='%'+@dogage+'%'  SET @doggender='%'+@doggender+'%'  SET @dogname='%'+@dogname+'%'  SET @applicationdate='%'+@applicationdate+'%'
 SELECT DISTINCT  * FROM DogRegistry WHERE (  TagNum = @tagnum OR  OwnerName LIKE @ownername OR  MailAddress LIKE @mailaddress OR  Address2 LIKE @address2 OR  City LIKE @city OR  Telephone LIKE @telephone OR  DogGender LIKE @doggender OR  DogBreed LIKE @dogbreed OR  DogAge LIKE @dogage OR  DogColour LIKE @dogcolour OR  DogName LIKE @dogname OR  ApplicationDate LIKE @applicationdate  ) AND TagNum > 0GO
I don't know why it is creating links inside my SP -ignore them.  TagNum is the primary key, if that makes a difference.
On the webpage, it ONLY works when every field has been filled (and then it will only return 1 row, as it should, given the data entered).  Debugging has shown that when nothing is entered it passes "".
Any ideas?

SUM When There Are Null Values.

Nov 2, 2007

Would this take care of null values in either a.asset or b.asset?

SELECT convert(decimal(15,1),(sum(isnull(a.asset,0))/1000.0)+(sum(isnull(b.asset,0))/1000.0)) as total_assets

What's throwing me off is that there are multiple a.asset or b.asset for each unique ID. It seems to work, but I'm not following the logic too well. If I were doing this in another language, I would loop through, summing a.asset and b.asset wherever it's not null for each unique ID.

Null Values

Jan 16, 2006

Hi,

How can I use "Derived Column" to check if a Datetime value is null or not and if null to insert  00/00/00 instead. ?

The background being that while using a "Derived Column" to change a Column from a (DT_DATE) to a (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) everytime I get a null value it see's it as a error.

And the column in particular has ~ 37 K blank / null fields so Im getting a lot of errors

So far I have tried to use something like

ISNULL([Column 34])

Or

SELECT ISNULL(ID, '00/00/0000') FROM [Column 34]

Or


SELECT ISNULL(au_id, '00/00/0000 00:00') AS ssn
FROM [Column 34

but none seems to work [Column 34] being the offending column.

What a normally use is just a simple "(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)[Column 34]"
in the expression column, which seems to work well, but here I get alot of errors

Any ideas?

Null Values

Apr 20, 2007

I set up a new SQL database file, in that file I allowed nulls, When I went through code to save the record, the exception is saying it doesnt allow nulls.



Before I get to involved with SQL, is it a bad practice to use nulls?



If it is what do you enter in place of the null value,

which will lead to more code, right?
