.Update Creates New Record But All Fields Null

Jan 26, 2006

Hi guys, I have made several Access-based CMSs but now I am using SQL Server. I can read the records but my first attempts at writing are resulting in new records (with new ID) but all the fields are null.
I am posting the data from a form to the same page and an if /then statement catches the flag in the URL and runs the update script below. All the field names are correct.
if request.QueryString("add")<> "" then
Dim rsUpdateEntry
Set rsUpdateEntry = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsUpdateEntry.Open "SELECT * from generic_country_info" , oConn, 2, 3

rsUpdateEntry.AddNew

rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title1") = Request.Form("title1")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body1") = Request.Form("body1")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title2") = Request.Form("title2")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body2") = Request.Form("body2")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title3") = Request.Form("title3")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body3") = Request.Form("body3")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title4") = Request.Form("title4")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body4") = Request.Form("body4")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title5") = Request.Form("title5")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body5") = Request.Form("body5")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image1") = Request.Form("attach1")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image2") = Request.Form("attach2")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image3") = Request.Form("attach3")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image4") = Request.Form("attach4")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image5") = Request.Form("attach5")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("country") = Request.Form("country")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("dest_url") = Request.Form("dest_url")


rsUpdateEntry.Update

rsUpdateEntry.Close
Set rsUpdateEntry = Nothing
end if
Thanks

UPDATE Statement Creating NULL Fields?

Oct 23, 2014

I am attempting to update a table that drives a report. The report is at the order level. An order can have several types of demand (revenue $): Ship and/or Backordered. When I update one of these demand fields on the report table, I would expect those orders that have that type of demand to update, and those orders that don't have that type of demand to remain at their current value ($0 in this example which is the table default). But what is happening is that orders that don't have that type of demand are changing to NULL. What am i doing wrong with my update statement that is causing this?

Code:
CREATE TABLE #sales(
OrdNo int,
StatusGrp varchar(10),
Demand decimal(10,2)
)
INSERT INTO #sales
VALUES (1,'Ship',100.00)

[Code] .....

Update Via SQLDataSource Fails For Record With A Null Value In One Column

Oct 16, 2006

Hi,I have an updatable DataGrid linked to a SQLDataSource in a web site developed using VS2005. Update works fine unless a value in the existing row is Null. Only one column in the database allows nulls.Putting a debug stop in the SqlDataSource1_Updating event, I checked the parameter value in the Immediate window and got the following result:?e.Command.Parameters(16){System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter}System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter: {System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter}DbType: Int32 {11}Direction: Input {1}IsNullable: FalseParameterName: "@original_FiresolveJobNo"Size: 0SourceColumn: ""SourceColumnNullMapping: FalseSourceVersion: Current {512}Value: NothingIs there a property I can set to generate a suitable Null check clause for the Update statement?Many Thanks,Keith.

Update Fields With Data From Other Fields In Same Row

Jun 30, 2000

Pardon me if this question is too elementary. I am trying to create a trigger that will cause certain datafields to be updated with values from other data fields in the same row when a certain column, created specifically to fire the trigger, is updated. The purpose of this is to reduce data entry by field personnel.I think I have the create trigger statement correct, but I'm a little confused on the update statement.

In a nutshell, how can I write something like:
UPDATE "TABLENAME"
SET DATAFIELD1 = DATAFIELD2
WHERE RECORDNUMBER = (THE SAME RECORD NUMBER)

I do know that I have to ensure that sp_dboption Recursive Triggers value is set to false, thanks.

SQL Server 2008 :: Update Null Enabled Field Without Interfering With Rest Of INSERT / UPDATE

Apr 16, 2015

If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?

EXAMPLE:

CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE(
ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,

[Code] ....

If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.

INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)

INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName)
VALUES('John','Smith')

INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL
FROM MYOTHERTABLE

Programming With Null Fields

Apr 9, 2000

I am working on Sql Server 7.0 with a group of Visual Basic programmers that have made the following request:

1.They want all decimals/integer fields in the database to default to 0(zero).
Is there an way to do this for all fields instead of on an individual basis?
2.They don't want a null returned on any character string field.

What is the best way to take care of these 2 requests? Thanks in advance.

Ignore Null Fields

Sep 29, 2005

Hi,

I have a query like this one

SELECT expense_id, CAST(expense_id AS char(10)) + ' - ' + CAST(trip_km AS char(5))+ ' - ' + CAST(expense_amount AS char(5)) + ' - ' + charge_centre AS ExpenseDesc

If charge center is null, I need to ignore this field. How can I achieve this? The reason is that if any of the field is null, it will return ExpenseDesc as null.

Thanks

Select When Some Fields Are Null...

Jun 5, 2008

Here is the problem that I am struggling with. The structure is:

States: StateID, StateName
Counties: CountyID, CountyName
Cities: CityID, CityName
Zips: Zip, StateID, CountyID, CityID
Regions: RegionID, RegionName
Region_Data: RegionID, StateID, CountyID, CityID

The thing about the region is that it can be defined by states only, in which case CountyID and CityId are NULL, can be defined by Counties too, in which case only CityID is NULL or it can be defined up to City level, in which case all 3 are set to something. Example, Northeast would be all cities from northeast, but Pocono would be just some counties in PA, and so on...

The issue is now selecting all cities that belong into a region... Normally I would join the Zips table with the Region_Data table and retrieve all CityIDs... The issue is that, as I said, the CountyID and CityID might be null for some records, so I am not sure how to retrieve them?

I came up with one idea in which I create 3 temporary tables and I select in them all the records that have 1) only state, 2) only state and county, 3) all 3, then I join each and I union the results...

But I am wondering if there is a way to do the select in one shot?

Any idea? I appreciate your help,

Thank you,

Iulian

Need Help With Filtering Fields With Null And More

Apr 26, 2006

Requirements:

1) Cannot have results in which both m.homephone & d.homephone are both null, or both m.workphone & d.workphone are both null in the result set

2) We also do not want to see any combos where one homephone is null and the other has only the char 0....same for workphone...no null & 0 combinations.

e.g.

m.homephone   d.homephone

null                       0

0                          null

The phone fields are varchar

I know this is hidiously wrong but is my first sloppy attempt at best:
select m.number, m.homephone as master_homephone, d.homephone as debtor_homephone, m.workphone as master_workphone, d.workphone as debtor_workphone
 
FROM master m
 
INNER JOIN debtors d ON d.Number = m.number
 
where (d.homephone <> m.homephone OR d.workphone <> m.workphone)
AND (d.homephone IS NOT NULL AND m.homephone IS NOT NULL)
AND (d.workphone IS NOT NULL AND m.workphone IS NOT NULL)
AND NOT ((d.homephone IS NULL AND m.homephone = '0') OR (d.homephone = '0' AND m.homephone IS NULL))
AND NOT ((d.workphone IS NULL AND m.workphone = '0') OR (d.workphone = '0' AND m.workphone IS NULL))

Database Tables And NULL Fields

Nov 17, 2006

Hi  there,
 I have a fairly generic question regarding database design.
I am working  on my first database using SQL  Express.
I am testing the database by inserting records into the pre  defined tables.
Sometimes I  forget to input text into a non null  field. When
this  happens  it displays an error  and then skips a  few rows
which makes my  row numbering  messy.  For example  say I have 
Row  1, Row 2 Row  3 all  nicely  formatted but on Row 4  I make  a mistake
this  row then disapears and  their is  gap  between  3 and 5 where  4  was.
Although I am just testing, I was  wondering  what happens in a  real
scenario if an inexperienced data input person makes a few  mistakes it
makes the database  numbering  systems look bad. In  this case
is it common  to  make  most  fields  NULL to allow for admin errors??

Setting Duplicate Fields To NULL

Mar 19, 2008



I have a result set stored in a temporary table variable. The fields need to have heirarchy when they finaly get displayed to the user. I need to replace the repeating fields per group with NULL and leave out only one set of unique records per group.

I want to do something like this- make the fields in red NULL while leaving out the ones in green.

{ Col.Group I } { Col. Group II }

Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
------- ------- ------- ------- -------
ValA ValA2 ValA3 ValA40 ValA50 {
ValA ValA2 ValA3 ValA40 ValA50 Row. Group A
ValA ValA2 ValA3 ValA41 ValA51 }

ValB ValB2 ValB3 ValB40 ValA50 { Row. Group B
ValB ValB2 ValB3 ValB41 ValA51 }



I was able to achieve this by using @@ROWCOUNT with in a while loop by performing one UPDATE at a time (SET ROWCOUNT = 1). But i have to run Count(*) each time I loop through the update query to figure out the remaining number of rows I have per group as I need to leave out one untouched. But the Count function is taking too much time and I'm having performace issues.

Any idea how I might be able to do this in my stored proc. efficiently?

Thanks,

Null Values In Calculated Fields

May 22, 2008



Hi all

I have a calculated fields in report designer such as a + b + c + d. In sql server if I run this query

select a + b + c + d from table1

and any of a,b,c or d is null, the result is null.

whereas in calculated fields, it does not return null but infact ignores the null value and treats it as zero.

I want my calculated field to be null if any of the values are null.
Is it possible? I cannot use the isNothing function because I have too many fields and it will be quite cumbersome.

Thanks

Importing Null Date Fields

Nov 27, 2006

I'm using SQL Server Express and am trying to import a CVS file. The CVS file contains a string field (named DAS) that represents a Date. This field can be null.

I've tried using the DTS Wizard to import this CVS file and convert the DAS field to a Date, which works great until it hits a record with a NULL DAS field. It then throws a convertion error.

Still using the DTS Wizard, I've changed the DataType of the DAS field in the Source file to [DT_DATE], it works fine but all the null dates are converted to 12/30/1899.

Is there a way (DTS Wizard or something else) that will allow me to import these CVS files with null Date fields and keep them as null in SQL Server table.

Thanks for any help,

Jon

Concatenating Fields With NULL Values

Jul 11, 2006

Hey everyone,

This is probably a very simple question, but I am just stumped. I am storing different name parts in different fields, but I need to create a view that will pull all of those fields together for reports, dropdowns, etc.

Here is my current SELECT statement:

SELECT m.FName + SPACE(1) + m.MName + SPACE(1) + m.LName + ', ' + m.Credentials AS Name,
m.JobTitle,
m.Company,
m.Department,
m.Address,
m.City + ', ' + m.State + ' ' + m.Zipcode AS CSZ,
m.WorkPhone,
m.FAX,
m.Email,
c.Chapter,
m.Active,
s.Sector,
i.Industry
FROM tblMembers m
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblChapters c
ON m.ChapterID = c.ChapterID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblSectors s
ON m.SectorID = s.SectorID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblIndustries i
ON m.IndustryID = i.IndustryID
WHERE m.DRGInclude = 1

My problem is that I don't know how to test for NULL values in a field. When you concatenate fields that contain NULL values, the entire contactenated field returns NULL. I am not aware of an IF statement that is available within the SELECT statement.

The first thing I would like to accomplish is to test to see if MName contains NULL. If it does I do not want to include + SPACE(1) + m.MName in the clause. Then, if Credentials contains NULL I do not want to include + ', ' + m.Credentials in the clause.

Can someone tell me what I am missing? Is there a function that I can use for this?

Thanks,

Handling Null Fields With Three-tier Architecture

Nov 28, 2006

I using Visual Web Designer Express (with Visual Basic), with a SQL Server 2000 database.   I have a prototype application running satisfactorily using code that builds queries, but I'm now trying to rebuild the application "properly" using three-tier architecture.  I have been following the principles of Scott Mitchell's tutorials.  I have created an database .xsd with a table adaptor, and replaced the rather grotty query-building code in the business layer with better code referencing the table adaptor.   Thus where the first version had code: -
        Dim queryString As String = "SELECT * FROM NZGDB_User WHERE USRid = '" & Userid & "'"        Dim message As String = ""        Dim Found As Boolean = False        Try            Using connection As New SqlConnection(GDB_AppSettings.Connection)                Dim command As New SqlCommand(queryString, connection)                connection.Open()
                Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
                If reader.Read() Then                    Found = True                    _USRid = reader("USRid")                    _USRPassword = reader("USRPassword")                    _USREmail = reader("USREmail")                    _USRTitle = reader("USRTitle")                    _USRName = reader("USRName")                    _USRRole = reader("USRRole")                    If IsDBNull(reader("USRAgreedConditions")) = False Then                        _USRAgreedConditions = reader("USRAgreedConditions")                    End If                End If                reader.Close()            End Using        Catch ex As Exception            If Left(Err.Description, 68) = "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server." Then                Return "Cannot open database to logon"            Else                Return Err.Description            End If        End Try
the new version is much more elegant: -
        Dim taUser As New NZGDBTableAdapters.NZGDB_UserTableAdapter()
        Dim tbUser As NZGDB.NZGDB_UserDataTable = taUser.GetUserByUserid(userid)        If tbUser.Count <> 1 Then   '   Anything other than 0 or 1 should be impossible            Return "User not found"        End If
        Dim trUser As NZGDB.NZGDB_UserRow = tbUser(0)        _USRid = userid        _USRPassword = password        _USREmail = trUser.USREmail        _USRTitle = trUser.USRTitle        _USRName = trUser.USRName        _USRRole = trUser.USRRole        _USRAgreedConditions = trUser.USRAgreedConditions
However, there is a problem.  The database field USRAgreedConditions is a Datetime field that can be null.  The new version works perfectly when it is NOT null, but throws an exception: -
System.Data.StrongTypingException was unhandled by user code  Message="The value for column 'USRAgreedConditions' in table 'NZGDB_User' is DBNull."  Source="App_Code.wt2vzoc1"  ....
There is no point in writing: -        If Not IsDBNull(trUser.USRAgreedConditions) Then            _USRAgreedConditions = trUser.USRAgreedConditions        End Ifbecause the exception occurs within the automatically-created code in the data access layer.  I tried changing the Nullvalue property of the field USRAgreedConditions in the table adaptor, but the only valid option is (Throw Exception) unless the field is a String.  Of course USRAgreedConditions is a Datetime field, so I can't change the property.
It seems that my only options are: -1.   To stick with the old query-building code.   But this doesn't give me the advantages of a proper 3-tier architecture2.   To change the generated code in wt2vzoc.  This MUST be a bad idea - surely I should leave this code untouched.  Besides, what if the table adaptor has to be regenerated when I change the table design?3.   Code a Try block within the business layer: -    Try         _USRAgreedConditions = trUser.USRAgreedConditions    Catch ex As Exception         _USRAgreedConditions = Nothing    End Try
This seems to work OK, but seems less elegant than the original code in the old version: -       If IsDBNull(reader("USRAgreedConditions")) = False Then            _USRAgreedConditions = reader("USRAgreedConditions")       End IfIs there a better way?

Select Rows From Database Where Fields Are Null

Dec 30, 2006

Hi, how do i do a select statement with asp.net to return a record if a field is null.  I have the following code:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Categories WHERE ParentId = @ParentId", cn);.Parameters.Add("@ParentId", SqlDbType.Int).Value = parentId != null ? (object) parentId : DBNull.Value;cn.Open();
The variable parentId is a nullable int.  However when i pass in a null value it doesn't return anything even though there are records in the database that have a null value for the ParentId field.
Appreciate if someone could tell me what i am doing wrong.  Thanks

Constraint/identity Which Allows Duplicate Null Fields

Jan 4, 2007

hi,
I've done Googling and forum hunting but haven't had success finding a simple answer... My table schema is such that it requires the (int) LinkedItemID field to be nullable but still those fields which are set must not be duplicates. I see constraint is out of question and also identity doesn't seem to fit since I'm not using autofill for this particular field. Is there some other way doing this on Sql Server 2005?
 
Thank you.

Need Help With Insert Statement On Table With Several Non-null Fields

Apr 30, 2007

On my aspx page I have a basic sqldatasource and gridview - both were set up using the wizards. The SQL Server 2000 database table that the sqldatasource is querying has some fields in it that are set to not allow nulls, however, the gridview control is not displaying all of the fields in the table - including some of the non-null fields.
My problem is, when I run an insert on the table from my aspx page, I get an error that says: "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ColumnName', table 'TableName'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated."
The 'ColumnName', as you may have guessed, is one of the aforementioned columns that doesn't allow nulls, but isn't in the GridView.
How can I do an insert on this table without messing with the non-null fields. Those fields are relevant to the purposes of the gridview, so I don't want to display them, let alone allow editing of them.
Any suggestions on my options would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

DataReader Returns Different Results When There Are Null Fields

If I query sql server I get 10 results. But when I use if (myReader.Read()) I get only 7 results. I found that there was a Null field in the DB. I changed it and it worked.
The problem is I don't want to touch the database and set all null fields. There must be a way to get all results including the Null using sqlDataReader so that if (myReader.Read()) is used it does the right comparison.


// This code is called 10 times with a select * from where item="xxx"
P21Conn.Open();

SqlDataReader myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

if (myReader.Read()) {

thanks

Finding &#39;null&#39; Date Fields With Query?

Apr 19, 1999

I know I am missing something basic, here.
I have a date field in a table. The field is 'allowed Nulls'. When a certain thing happens in the program, the date is filled in.
At various times, I need to do a query to find all the rows that have no dates entered.

What do I use in my where clause? SQL server does not like 'where date = null.'

Thanks,
Judith
