Insert Null Value Into Varbinary(max) Column

Apr 20, 2008

Hello,  

I'm working on a website that allows users to upload small JPEG files. I followed the article at http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/120606-1.aspx. On the webpage I'm using a formview control to insert new records in the database. As suggested in the article I removed the "type='object'" from the insert parameters for the image column. The data is saved by using a sqldatasource with stored procedures. The image column is of type varbinary(max) and allows null values. Everythings works fine as long as the user uploads an image. The data is saved correctly and on another page the image can be viewed. However if the user does not upload a picture and tries to save the new record the following error is thrown: 
�Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.�
 In the formviews iteminserting event I have the following code: Dim imageBytes(fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Length) As Byte            fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Read(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length)            e.Values("Image") = imageBytes What code should I use in case the fileupload1 has no file?  I tried something like:                        e.values("Image") = dbnull.value  But that doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

SqlException Inserting NULL Into A Varbinary(MAX) Column.

Jul 12, 2007

I get the following error when my insert has a DBNull value for a column of type varbinary(MAX). "Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query." In my opinion, the .NET SqlDataAdapter is attempting to convert the null value to a nvarchar. Is it possible to insert a null value in varbinary(max)? I didn't have this problem with the image datatype. Is this a bug or is there a work around to this problem?



Any help would be appreciated.

Cannot Insert The Value NULL Into Column 'OrderID' -- BUT IT IS NOT NULL!

Apr 2, 2007

I am getting this error: "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'OrderID', table 'outman.outman.Contact'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails." -- But my value is not null.

Insert NULL Into INT Column

Jul 12, 2007

I've 2 tables with a relation:



Customers

- CustId

- Name

- LevelId ==> FK relation to Levels.LevelId





Levels

- LevelId

- Description



What I want to do, is save a NULL value in the Customers.LevelId when no level is selected. I'm using C#, a CLR StoredProcedure and the DbType.Int32 for that column. When I try to save a null value, it says "cannot convert null to int", what is clear. But in the database it is possible to save a NULL value.



The question is: How to save a null value in a int column via a C# CLR Stored Procedure?

SSIS Tries To Insert NULL Value Into A Destination Column Ignored In The Mapping.

Jan 12, 2008

Hello everyone,

I am having a little problem with a simple package and I do not know if this is a known issue or that I am missing something.

I have a data flow task, a simple one, with an oledb source pulling data, using a select statement, from a sql server 2005 instance, and an ole db destination pointing to a table in a sql server 2000 instance. Both intances are standard edition. The table in the destination has a column which allow null values and has also a default constraint (getdate()), and this column is not present in the source. When I map the columns in the destination, I leave this column as "ignore", not being mapped to any column from the source. The problem is that when I execute the task, SSIS is trying to insert NULL value into this column, so the package fail with the error "can not insert NULL value into column myColumn". I wonder why is it trying to insert NULL value if the column is not mapped to any column from the source.

Is this a known issue or I am nissing something in the settings?

If the destination table has rowversion or identity columns, there is no problem ar all. I ignore those columns in the mapping and SQL Server feeds them as expected.

Thanks in advance,
Alejandro Mesa

Stuck Between Cannot Insert The Value NULL Into Column 'ID' And Violation Of PRIMARY KEY Constraint

Jan 20, 2004

Cannot find an answer to this in previous posting, though there are similar topics.

My primary key "ID" requires a value (is not nullable), and not explictly providing it with one when I update a new record gives the following error:

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'AdClub.mediaq.News'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'AdClub.mediaq.News'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

However, trying to stuff that field with a recordCount+1 value (or any value), I get this error:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'Primary Key'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'News'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'Primary Key'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'News'.

Cannot figure this one out. The value I'm providing for that field is known to be unique, but the SQL Server spits it out each time.

Is there a way to have the ID primary field automatically update with a new value when a new record is generated? This is how I used to do it in Access, but cannot find a similar feature in SQL Server. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but right now I'm stuck in this "Catch-22" situation.

Please help!

Data Warehousing :: Cannot Insert Value NULL Into Column When Executing Stored Procedure

Sep 22, 2015

I received this stored procedure that I modified to run on my system.  Specifically, I only changed the database and filter text and left the rest alone.  When I execute the stored procedure, I get the error:

Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure ObjectNotesInsert, Line 18
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'RefRowPointer', table 'pSCI_App.dbo.ObjectNotes'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.

Here is the actual stored procedure I am running. I should add that I can execute each step and get results and if I hard code the resulting values into the procedure, the execution works. 

USE [pSCI_App]

How To Compare Image/varbinary Column

May 5, 2008

what is the best way of comparing image/varbinary and nullable column in sql server?
this is what i do to find out the different in image column in 2 tables sharing the same structure:
Select *
From TblA s
Left Join TblB c On

s.Id = c.Id And Coalesce(Convert(VARBINARY(MAX), c.Image),'') <> Coalesce(Convert(VARBINARY(MAX), s.Image),'')
Where c.Id IS NULL

alternatively, i was thinking to compare the column with the size, but worry about the accuracy:
Select *
From TblA s
Left Join TblB c On

s.Id = c.Id And ISNULL(Datalength(c.Image),0) <> ISNULL(Datalength(s.Image),0) Where c.Id IS NULL

any suggestion/advise will be appreciated ~

No Results Returned For Full Text Search On Varbinary(max) Column

Jul 10, 2007

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I
have a table which contains text resources for my application. The text
resources are multi-lingual so I've read that if I add a html language
indicator meta tag e.g.<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES">and
store the text in a varbinary column with a supporting Document Type
column containing ".html" of varchar(5) then the full text index
service should be intelligent about the language word breakers it
applies when indexing the text. (I hope this is correct technique for
best multi-lingual support in a single table?)However, when I come to query this data the results always return 0 rows (no errors are encountered). e.g.DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(256)SET @SearchWord = 'search' -- Yes, this word is definitely present in my resources.SELECT * FROM Resource WHERE CONTAINS(Document, @SearchWord)I'm a little puzzled as Full Text search is working fine on another table that employs an nvarchar column.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

SQL 2005 Bug? Cannot Create Full Text Index For VARBINARY Column That's Populated With Converted NVARCHAR Values

Jul 11, 2007

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value - I've narrowed it down to this specifically, populating with non nvarchar text seems to work fine.To re-create the problem quickly...If I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')then there is no problem, I get results as expected.However if I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))no results are ever returned.Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

One of my columns is the table has some Null values, and I Would like to stop having NULL values into that column any more.

I know, If I alter the column to NOT NULL will throw me an error, since it does a batch update.

Is there any way to achieve this...

Thanks...

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.

Problem With Insert , Cannot Insert NULL Value

Jan 30, 2007

Good evening,

I have created a table like this:

create table Teacher(tid integer,
fname varchar(20),
lname varchar(30),
primary key(tid));

Well i insert many Teachers uning : insert into values ... etc.
These inserts are being placed in an sql file named insert.sql.
All the insertions are fine.

Now I'm trying to insert another teacher using another file e.g. my_insert.sql and it says cannot insert NULL into teacher tid etc.

Why does this happen,in my my_insert.sql file all the filds of the tid are filled with non null values?

What's going wrong?

Thanks, in advance!
