Null And Computed Column

Oct 1, 2007

how do you change the allow null on a column to be 0,
so instead of having null when empty, it would be 0,
I tried default value or binding to 0 to -1, and to 1
and in 0 or -1, it stays null, in 1 it puts the 1
for example if is quantity, it puts as if I would have 1 quantity,
so it's either null, or whathever number I put visides -1 or 0
how can I make it be 0 as defult?
I'm using it to add and substract with computed column, formula;
and the problem is that if it's the first time it's used it does not add or substract, becsause it does not add null with a number, if it has 0 than it works,
whata I had to do is add it manually, but of course it doesn't suppoesed to be that way
any suggestions will be appriciated:

How To Remove NULL From Computed Column ?

Aug 20, 2004

I've 2 columns after executing query,

one column from those 2 is calculated column.

I am getting resultset as follows



ACCOUNT ¦(calculated column)

------------------------------

100 ¦alpha

100 ¦NULL



My concern is how should I remove record with NULL from final resultset ?

If I give some name to that calculated column say 'Name'

and tried to put in main query as

"where 'Name' IS NOT NULL"; it doesnot work.

Can you have any workaround for it?
:confused:

Computed Column Returns Null

Nov 16, 2007

How do you prevent SQL from returning a null value for a computed column?

The following formula returns blank if any of the values are blank ... pftitle allows nulls, the other two are required on Insert.

(((([pflastname]+', ')+[pffirstname])+' - ')+[pftitle])

Where can I find the documentation of computed field operators and expressions?

Computed Column Referencing A Computed Column

Sep 5, 2007

Hi all,

I have a table with 3 computed columns, the first two reference a function for there value. The last computed column should be total of the other computed columns, however when trying to write the formula for this column SQL Server rejects it.

Am i correct in thinking it is not possible to reference other computed columns in a computed column's forumla.

My current work around is to call the functions again that the other computed columns use to generate the total, though this seems to me like a performance issue.

Could anyone offer some advise on my situation.

Any input apreciated.

Computed Column Of A View

Jun 11, 2003

I have a view that has 2 columns. The first column is associated with a function for the Units. The second column calculates the Market Value:

View
====
Col1: Unit = get_number_of_units()
Col2: MV = get_number_of_units() * get_unit_value()

I need to call get_number_of_units() twice in the view. Is it possible to changes Col2 to something like: MV = Col1 * get_unit_value()?

Is get_unit_value() being called if I do Select Col1 from View?

Thanks.

Computed Column Issue

May 19, 2008

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a computed field in a table. I have a stored procedure that inserts a row into a table and returns the id and the computed value.
The computed colmn is returned as a decimal (29,6) but for some reason the value is returned with no decimals (confirmed by the Profiler).
The value is calculated and displayed in the database properly with decimals. Also, Is Persisted is OFF.

Below is the stored procedure, computed column foruma (both give same result), and the profiler trace.

Using Computed Column Specification

Dec 13, 2012

I have a question about Computed Column Specification which you can specify as a formula for each column inside a table.

I have now columns named Age and Class.

Classes are "Kids" (ID #1) , "Junior" (ID #2) and "Senior" (ID #3)
Kids, which is for age of 6 till 12
Junior, which is for 12 till 16
Senior, 16 and above.

I have already searched for hours (I really did) on the internet for a solution, but ended with more questions because of the complicated solutions.

Now the Age is shown as a result of a formule of DOB (Date of Birth column), now I want the exact same thing, but the age must specify which Class the user is in.

Example, when I add a user with the birthdate 25/03/1988 (DD/MM/YYYY) he/she gets 24 as age.

With this formula : (datediff(year,[age],getdate()))

Now I want that the user gets "Senior" as Class (same table).

Senior is ID 3 in this case.

Now I do know how Case, When and Then works, but the validation fails. After reading some forums I understood that I should use a create function method. I am not really experienced with creating functions. Also the coding looks more different as I am used to. How to link the Computed Column to a created formula.

Using Computed Column In The Query

Apr 14, 2004

need help ,

i have a table called "Loans" where i need to compute a column i.e. NoofDays based on which other calculation like interest calculation needs to be done.
my query goes like this

"select datediff(dd,VDate, MDate) as NoOfDays ,NoOfDays * Principal * Rate /100 * 365 from Loans".

if i run the above query it says

"Invalid column name 'NoOfDays'".

this executes fine if i use Access but not in SQL Server.

can anybody say what might be the problem and how i can solve it.

Formula For Computed Column

Jan 17, 2007

If I am reading this right I need to set the Computed Column Specification of my Balance Column in order to perform the calculation. My problem now is that I have no idea how to word the formula and other than telling me what a formula is the SQL Server Books online is no help whatsoever, so any help would be awesome.

Computed Column Calculations

Jul 23, 2005

If i want to split a computed column into two or more columns based onthe the length (its a varchar) of the computed column, how often willsql server determine what the computed column is? roughly along thelines ofselect comp_col,'comp_col 2'=case when datalength(comp_col)<=100 then comp_colelse left(comp_col,99) + '~' end,datalength(comp_col)from aTableAs you can see, in this scenario we use the computed coulumn,comp_col, in a few places, so does SQL server need to calculate thiseach time? I'm playing with this on the basis that it does and thustrying to shift the computed column out to a variable and thenmanipulte and return from their, but that has its own problems whenyou throw in additional parameters (trying to join table udf's) so ifSQL server is smart enough to not calculate the column each time Iwould save a lot of hassle?Cheers Dave

So I wouldlike to create an index based on this column, with the non-alphanumericcharacters squeezed out. Of course I can add such a column to thetable and index it, but I'm wondering if it can be done withoutactually adding the column.Thanks,Jim

Computed Column And Cursor

Dec 26, 2007

Is it possible to use a cursor in computed column?

I have two table (Table1 and Table2). Table 2 is child of Table 1.

Table 2 has more than one record for each record in table 1. What I want is, to concat records from table 2 and show it as a column value for Table1.

e.g.


Code Block
Table 1:
Col1 Col2
1 ABC
1 DEF

Table 2
T1Col1 Col2
1 A
1 -
1 B
1 1
1 -
1 C
I want to see the Results as
Table 1
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 ABC A-B1-C


Is it possible to add computed column for the table1 to get the result as shown in above block.

Thanks

It's A Computed Column Processing Bug?

Sep 25, 2007



Hello everybody!

I have question about indexed and not indexed Persisted columns on sql server 2005. It's a bug?

First?, my version of SQL Server is
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3186.00 (Intel X86) Aug 11 2007 03:13:58 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)


Now I create two tables and try four select queries:


Code Snippet
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON
SET ARITHABORT ON
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
create table t1 (id int primary key, id_bigint as cast(id as bigint))
GO
create table t2 (id int primary key, id_bigint as cast(id as bigint) persisted)
GO
select * from t1 -- (1)
-- Clustered index scan with two times Compute Scalar
GO
select * from t2 -- (2)
-- Clustered index scan with one times Compute Scalar
GO
create index IX_t2 on t2 (id_bigint)
GO
select * from t2 -- (3)
-- Index Scan with one times Compute Scalar
GO
select * from t2 where id_bigint = 0 -- (4)
-- Index Seek with one times Compute Scalar
GO
drop table t1
GO
drop table t2
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF



1. I don't understand why access to computed column raise scalar computation wto times?
2. I don't understand why access to persisted computed column raise any scalar computation?
3. I don't understand why access to persisted computed column over index required any scalar computations?

Can anyone from Microsoft SQL Server Team told me about this mistake?
It's a BUG or I incorrect understand value of the "PERSISTED" word?

Trigger? Constraint? Computed Column?

Feb 23, 2007

Hi.

I was wondering how I should go about doing this thing. I need to put a value in a column that is based on values on other columns in the same row.

When this statement executes I need to put a value in Col3.

insert into myTable(Col1, Col2)
values(25, -14)

Something like so:

if(Col1 >0 AND Col2 <0)
set Col3 = Col1 - Col2
else
set Col3 = Col1;

I don't now quite how to solve this. I am really going to need this value in a column. Calculating the value at retrieval is not on option...

I appreciate all help. I'm using SQL Server 2005.

Thanks!

Computed Column In Where Clause - QUERY Help

Apr 29, 2007

Hi
I need suggestion for a query. Consider following 2 tables.

Table-1 "T1"
-----------
|ID|Name
|1 |abc
|2 |def
|3 |erw
|4 |rwg
|5 |her


Table-2 "T2"
----------
|ID|Qty
|1 |12
|1 |2
|2 |22
|3 |10
|2 |14


I want a query which displays ID, Name and MAX(Qty) for each item where Max(Qty)>=10 i.e. result should be


Result
----------
|ID|Name|Qty
|1 |abc |12
|2 |def |22
|3 |erw |10

I tried:

Select t1.*, (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) as MaxQty
FROM T1 t1
WHERE MaxQty>=10

But it fails as computed or inline query columns can not be added in where clause.


However following works:
Select t1.*, (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) as MaxQty
FROM T1 t1
WHERE (Select Max(Qty) From T2 where ID=t1.ID) >=10

BUT IS IT OPTIMIZED?
Please suggest an optimized way to handle such scenarios.

Getting the average would be "computed_column = (col1 + col2)/2" But how to get the Max, Min?

Even "Sum(col1,col2)" or AVG(col1, col2) does not work as the formula for a computed column...

Computed Column In A Replicated Table

Apr 10, 2015

I have a strange problem. I have a computed column in a replicated table, the Formula is as follows:

(isnull(hashbytes('SHA2_256',CONVERT([varchar](256),[AccrualReference],(0))),(0))) the column is also Persisted.

This gets around a case sensitivity issue and is used as the Primary Key column, which works well.The problem is that this table is then replicated to another server. On the subscriber the value of this computed field is being returned as 0x00000000 for every row, so this must be the ISNULL function doing its job. But why? The AccrualReference is the true PrimaryKey and is never NULL.

If I remove the computed specification and set the field up as varbinary(64) the value then gets replicated. This then means maintaining a different table schema for in excess of 500 tables.
