I'm converting some stored procs from Sybase to SQL Server, and I'm
having serious problems with Null comparisons.
When I run the code below on Sybase, it returns both rows. When I run
it on MS SQL Server, it returns nothing. I have set ANSI_NULLS off in
the code (and on the session through Query Analyzer), but it doesn't
seem to make any difference. Am I missing something?
I use the merge statement in a sproc to insert, update and delete records from a staging table to a production table.
In the long sql, here is a part of it,
When Matched and
((Student.SchoolID <> esis.SchoolID OR Student.GradeLevel <> esis.GradeLevel OR Student.LegalName <> esis.LegalName OR Student.WithdrawDate <> esis.WithdrawDate Student.SPEDFlag <> esis.SPEDFlag OR Student.MailingAddress <> esis.MailingAddress)
Then update
Set Student.Schoolid=esis.schoolid, .....
My question is how about if the column has null values in it.for example
if schoolID is null in production table is null, but in staging table is not null, will the <> return true.or if either side of <> has a null value, will it return true.
I don't want it to omit some records and causing the students records not get updated.If not return true, how to fix this?
Hi, I figure that my query below should return the records that I've inserted into test1 and test2 after I turn ansi_nulls off for my session. But the query does not return any records. Any ideas?
create table test1 (id int, create_date datetime null) create table test2 (id int, create_date datetime null)
does anyone know how to keep QA from adding the lines setting thesetwo options on and off along with blank lines at the beginning and endof every object you edit? i have searched quite a bit on this buthaven't been able to come up with anything.
Is there any way via T-SQL to run through a database and ensure that QUOTED_IDENTIFIER and ANSI_NULLS is set for all stored procs and functions etc on a database without having to recreate every proc / fn ?
The reason this is an issue is I'm trying to take advantage of indexed views to get a performance increase in an application - but not all of the procs/fn's have historically been created with ANSI_NULLS and QUOTED_IDENTIFIER set - so any proc that's not set correctly will fail once the indexed view has been created.
I could I suppose, script out all the procs / functions and do a bit of search and replace to ensure that these are set correctly by recreating all procs and functions - but I'm trying to avoid doing that as I've over 500 databases to upgrade - a metadata hack may be preferable.
Thoughts or comments or possible alternative approaches are welcome...
Im having trouble accessing a linked/remote server from a powerbuilder app.
I can run the stored proc from QueryAnalyzer, but from the app I get the error message - 'heterogenous query must have ANSI_NULLS set option ON, set it and retry'.
Is the ANSI_NULLS option set for each db, or each server? And how can I check a DB or Server to see what the setting for ANSI_NULLS is? Does the local and remote/linked server/db need this option ON?
Any idea why this remote query works form QA but not from an application?
Getting an "incorrect settings: 'ANSI_NULLS., QUOTED_IDENTIFIER'."error after creating a view.We wanted a composite unique constraint that ignored nulls, so we setup a view using the following script:/* --- start --- */BEGIN TRANSACTIONSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONSET ARITHABORT ONSET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFFSET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ONSET ANSI_NULLS ONSET ANSI_PADDING ONSET ANSI_WARNINGS ONCOMMITGOCREATE VIEW vw_MyViewWITH SCHEMABINDINGASSELECT Col1, Col2 FROM dbo.MyTable WHERECol2 IS NOT NULLGO/* --- end --- */and then added the constraint to the new view/* --- start --- */CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX AK_MyTable_Constraint1 ONvw_MyView(Col1, Col2)GO/* --- end --- */I thought we were doing fine, 'til we started running some DELETEstored procedures and got the above error. The error also citedARITHABORT as an incorrect setting until we ran this script:/* --- start --- */USE masterDECLARE @value intSELECT @value = value FROM syscurconfigsWHERE config = 1534SET @value = @value | 64EXEC sp_configure 'user options', @valueRECONFIGURE/* --- end --- */TIA to anyone kind enough to shed some light on this for me. Is theresomething we should have done differently in creating the view andindex? If not, what's the procedure for working through thesesettings errors?I've read through some other threads on this subject, but didn'treally find what I was looking for. Thanks again for any help. Wouldbe appreciated.-matt
DECLARE @a varchar(100) SET @a = @FailedRegionServerName + '.Ithalat.dbo.Product'
DECLARE @s varchar(100) SET @s = ' SELECT * FROM ' + @a EXEC ( @s )
When I execute it I get the error:
Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_NULLS and ANSI_WARNINGS options to be set for the connection. This ensures consistent query semantics. Enable these options and then reissue your query.
Then I put SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON SET ANSI_NULLS ON lines into the procedure. Also checked "Ansi Nulls" and "Ansi Warnings" in the properties of SQL Server. It didn't work
Then I tried:
DECLARE @s varchar(300) SET @s = 'SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON; SET ANSI_NULLS ON; SELECT * FROM ' + @a EXEC ( @s )
I still got the error.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? HOW CAN I GET A TABLE CONTENT FROM A LINKED SERVER? Any will be appreciated, thanks a lot...
As noted on the msdn the ANSI_NULLS for a stored procedure are set at time off creation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa259229(SQL.80).aspx).
Using: - SQL server 2000
My question is; How do i get the details of a sp and display the ANSI_NULLS setting for it. ("select * from information_schema.routines" doesnt shows this information)
I have a Stored Procedure I am trying to run that joins to a remote database. I am able to see everything in the QA just fine with this (courtesy of Anatha):
SELECT DISTINCT a.* FROM LOCATION a, LinkServer.MC_Card.webuser.LOCATION b WHERE a.location_number = b.location_number
But I am trying to run this query in Stored Procedure(notice the 4-part name callout to the LinkedServer tables) which returns the error message:

I am trying to create a stored procedure that updates a table on another server. It give the me the error about requiring ANSI_NULLS and WARNINGS being set. How can I set these if they are not already set? I tried setting them within the stored procedure, but does not appear to be working. Unless I am doing something wrong. I am trying to add SET ANSI_NULLS ON and doing the same thing for WARNINGS. Any thougts or suggestion on what to do? Thanks for the help
I have an application running against a SQLServer 2005 Express. For some limitations, I had to access from the same application to another database, but I cannot change to another server.
So I have 2 created a second instances, where the first one refers the second one and I created synonyms in the first one to access to all the objects in the second one, to emulate a database in the first instances, but running on the second one. The final idea is to move to another server, but for the testing I use another instance.
But when I try to access to the aplication database, I hav the following error: Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_NULLS and ANSI_WARNINGS options to be set for the connection. This ensures consistent query semantics. Enable these options and then reissue your query.
I searched solutions for this issue, but I only found to add SET ANSI_NULLS ON and SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON to my connection, before the queries, but I can't, because I cannot change the application.
I have a SQL200 stored proc that gives me the error "Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_NULLS and ANSI_WARNINGS options to be set for the connection. This ensures consistent query semantics. Enable these options and then reissue your query." when I try to execute it through the query analyzer.
I was able to create the stored proc fine but when I try to execute it through the query analyzer it gives me the above error. I do have Link Server select inside the stored proc. I have to turn of warnings inside the stored proc in order for it to not crash my vb6 recordset by putting in the SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF SET NOCOUNT OFF SET ANSI_NULLS OFF or else my vb6 recordset crashes.
When I created the sproc, I did what every one was telling me to do in the forums by putting in the
SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON Go SET NOCOUNT ON GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO
CREATE Procedure usp_SprocName
AS SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF SET NOCOUNT OFF SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
I'm using the SQL Native Client to connect my VB6 application to my SQL Server 2005 database. My SQL Server 2005 database has ANSI_NULLS turned off. I have a query embedded in my VB6 application that uses the syntax "fieldName = NULL" in the WHERE clause. When I execute the query via the SQL Native Client, the query returns zero rows. When I execute the same query via the old OLEDB driver, the query returns many rows. If I change my query to "fieldName IS NULL" syntax, the problem goes away. However, I am more interested in figuring out why ANSI_NULLS are turned on when using the SQL Native Client even though my database has them turned off. Is there a connection string property that I can use with the SQL Native Client to ensure that the query is executed with ANSI_NULLS off?
Hi, i have problem as subject says. Db has table with 3 columns, ID, Key and Val. ID is primary key, Key has unique index and Val simple holds value in text format. I have created DAL layer using .netTiers and CodeSmith. Generated procedures.sql has before every procedure set ANSI_NULLS to OFF. When i read rows from table i print them on screen. When user changes value, that should also be updated in database. When i select entity, its value is changed. Here is code snipper.
UPDATE failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ANSI_NULLS'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods.
Also, class which hold previous code snipper supports caching, by using some kind of SqlCacheManager, which is above SqlCacheDependecy class. Database service broker is started by
Code Block ALTER DATABASE <DB_NAME> SET ENABLE_BROKER
Server is SqlExpress 2005. Application is in ASP.NET 2.0.
I also noticed next. On first run, previous code passes without errors. On second run, update error appears.
This is log from sql server.

Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you
set ansi_nulls off
go
declare
@inFileName VARCHAR (100),
@inFileSize INT,
@Id int,
@inlanguageid INT,
@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),
@ExeState int
set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'
set @inFileSize = 28796
set @Id= 1
set @inlanguageid =null
set @inFileVersion =NULL
set @ExeState =0
select Dr.StateID from table1 dR
where
DR.[FileName] = @inFileName
AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize
AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)
I am new to the topic T-SQL. I am trying to use T-SQL to merge the content of two tables (table1 and table2) into one table making sure there are no duplication.
I wonder if any body can let me have a simple code.
Hey guys what would be the easiest way to create a report of value changes for particular records from one day to the next..... ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....
Hi there! can anyone help me out??? I need to compare a date from the database and the system date which will be coded in a store procedure in SQL... HELP!!!!!
I have a table with a field with a bit datatype. When I execute the stored procedure line if @bitvalue = 1 begin ... and the value is passes as 0 the statements beneath the begin execute. What am I doing wrong?
Is there a way to compare two similar tables? I'm more interested in finding out if the data content is exactly the same or not between the two tables.
We are converting our project into new version. They have done lot of changes in new version including normalization/denormalization. I need to compare the old and new database. Do you have any standard script or procedure like SQL Compare software?. Let me know what are the possibilties we need to check. Your help appreciated. Thanks, Ravi
Assuming a table with a column defined char or varchar. I have a SQL query like this :
Select * from table1 where column1='Building'
It returns the same result that
Select * from table1 where column1='BUILDING'
It is my understanding SQL Server (verison 7 or 2000, I tried on both) is lower/capital insensitive by default when it is installed. If I want SQL Server to be case-sensitive with my char or varchar columns, where can I set it?
Is it at database level or server level I can find this setting . What is the setting that control it?

Morning! Folks, i want some links where i could find healthy stuff regarding New Features and Compliance levels, performance comparisons, TPC tests etc about SQL 2000 and Yukon specially. I've to submit a document regarding Top database features that shall be used for a Medical-Billing Software in plan.
I have two tables that I am needing to link by the tables date field. In one table the date field is defined as varchar(23). The time for this field is always zeros. Example: '2005-12-27 00:00:00.000'
The other table is defined as datetime, and it does have the date and time in this field. Example: 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000
The problem i am having is 2005-12-27 00:00:00.000 does not = 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000.
Because I will never have more than one record on the same date I would like to be able to only compare the date. Example 2005-12-27 = 2005-12-27
Since the fields are 2 different field types, this is giving me a problem. Could someone please help. I have tried everything I know to do.
What I really need is the a way to format the datetime fields date into a string such as '2005-12-27'.
