COALESCE Help

Nov 5, 2007

I have a pulldown menu which has like  4 options
producta productb productc and all
I am trying to retrieve the maximum  build number value for these products and display on the gridview as per some other conditions like user selected OS etc
 Now clicking on All, I want to display the maximum build number values for productA,ProductB ,ProductC
and I am trying to use coalesce but unable to get my result.
I end up seeing only one value which is the maximum of everything.Instead I want the maximums of A B and C and display them concatenated with commas.
 If I do the following with no max funciton, i see all the values but i just want max from each branch.
DECLARE @buildList varchar(100)select @buildlist=COALESCE(@buildList + ', ', '') + convert(varchar(10),build) from results
where branch in ('ProductA','Product B','ProductC')
select @buildList
 
Please let me know how to do this.

Coalesce With LIKE?

Apr 29, 2008

I have a stored procedure which receives a dynamically built WHERE clause.  This is then appended to the sql query within like....'select * from table' +@where_clause.
I know that I am possibly leaving myself open to sql injection so I wanted to find an alternate way of handling this.  I stumbled across an article which speaks of using COALESCE as a way to sidestep using dynamic WHERE clauses....http://www.sqlteam.com/article/implementing-a-dynamic-where-clause
In my application the user can enter 1-to-many textboxes as search criteria.  What I have been doing is a series of IF statements to determine if each textbox is populated or not and build the WHERE clause accordingly.If tx_lastname.Text <> "" Then
If (InStr(sqlwhere, "where")) Then
sqlwhere = sqlwhere & " AND lname like '" & tx_lastname.Text & "'"
Else
sqlwhere = " where lname like '" & tx_lastname.Text & "'"
End If
End If
If tx_firstname.Text <> "" Then
If (InStr(sqlwhere, "where")) Then
sqlwhere = sqlwhere & " AND fname like '" & tx_firstname.Text & "'"
Else
sqlwhere = " where fname like '" & tx_firstname.Text & "'"
End If
End IfAnd so forth. But the above article seems to insinuate that I provide a static WHERE clause like this...'select * from table WHERE LNAME = COALESCE(@lname, lname) and COALESCE(@fname, fname). And this would handle it.Have any of you ever used this before? This is my first question. My other question is could this particular method be made compatible to fit with the LIKE operator?My user needs to be able to search based on close matches. For instance, if they enter 'JOHN' in the last name field, the results should contain 'JOHN', 'JOHNSON', 'JOHNS', etc.Any help would be appreciated.

To Coalesce Or Not

Jun 21, 2007

I have inherited a db with slowness claims. Last week at a MS seminar where independent SQL Consultant gave presentation on performance gotchas. One of his top 5, do not use coalesce on joins and where clause. Of course it is all over this db. Looking at below was this a bad approach?



WHEREcoalesce(PM.ALTKEYDOC,'x') = coalesce(@AK,PM.ALTKEYDOC,'x')
AND coalesce(PM.FIRSTNAME,'x') LIKE coalesce('%' + @FN + '%',PM.FIRSTNAME,'x')
AND coalesce(PM.LASTNAME,'x') LIKE coalesce('%' + @LN + '%',PM.LASTNAME,'x')
AND coalesce(PM.SEX,'x') = coalesce(@SX,PM.SEX,'x')
AND coalesce(PM.BIRTHDATE,'1/1/1900') = coalesce(@BD,PM.BIRTHDATE,'1/1/1900')
AND coalesce(PM.DIVISION,'x') = coalesce(@DI,PM.DIVISION,'x')
AND PM.STATE = @STATE

Coalesce

Jan 29, 2004

Hi.

I have a piece of a store procedure I don't quite understand, as follows:

SELECT d.DealReference, d.DealId, d.IllustrationId, ci.ContactId
FROM utDeal d WITH (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN utContactIllustration ci WITH (NOLOCK)
ON ci.IllustrationId = d.IllustrationId
WHERE d.DealReference LIKE (COALESCE(@DealReference,'%'))

What exactly is the COALESCE function doing here with the parameter?

Coalesce With Sum

Sep 18, 2006

I am having a problem with syntax. I am trying to sum a column where some of the values will be null and because I want to include the rows where the column may be null I am attempting to coalesce to zero.

Below is my sample:

SELECT *

FROM dbo.Student w

LEFT JOIN dbo.StudentDailyAbsence q ON q.StudentID = w.StudentID

Group BY q.StudentID

Having

(SUM(Coalesce(q.AbsenceValue),0) = 0.00)

COALESCE(SUM(q.AbsenceValue) = 0.00,0)

I have tried using the coalesce statement a couple of ways with no resolution, pls help!!

Coalesce Returning 0

Feb 6, 2008

Hi everybody,
I have a stored procedure that creates some temporary tables and in the end selects various values from those tables and returns them as a datatable. when returning the values, some fields are derived from other fields like percentage sold. I have it inside a Coalesce function like Coalesce((ItemsSold/TotalItems)*100, 0) this function returns 0 for every row, except for one row for which it returns 100. Does that mean for every other row, the value of (ItemSold/TotalItems)*100 is NULL ? if so, how can I fix it ? any help is greatly appriciated.

Coalesce Vs NULL

Jun 19, 2008

Hi All
I have a problem in making out why Coalese is considered to be better than ISNULL .According to my investigation Coalesce Returns the data type of expression with the highest data type precedence.If for eg I have declared that I want to return the value only upto 3 char then why will I use Coalesce and override my requirement.Anyone with clear concept about this plz explain.
DECLARE @v1 VARCHAR(3)DECLARE @i1 INT
SELECT ISNULL(@i1, 15.00) /2,
COALESCE(@i1 , 15.00) /2,
ISNULL(@v1, 'Teaser #2'),
COALESCE(@v1, 'Teaser #2')
The result will be

7.500000 
Tea 
Teaser #2
 
thanks in advance

COALESCE Function

Aug 7, 2001

Hi guys,

Do you have any idea why COALESCE function gives timeout in SQL2000 and works in SQL7.0

for ex.

in SQL7.0 this statement works fine in one of my SP

ROUND(COALESCE(ABS((SELECT SUM(Amount)))))

but in SQL2000 my SP is not working and my program gives timeout. But, if I change to ISNULL it works fine. Any clues on this issue?

This problem was there in SQL65 with ISNULL and then we have changed to COALESCE. Now, again repeated in 2000.

Similar To COALESCE Function

Nov 4, 2004

I have three fields in a table say [F1, F2 & F3]. I need to fetch anyone of these three fields which has the maximum value between them.

In Simple words i'm looking for some function which is similar to COALESCE function which returns the first NOT NULL value of the fields that were passed as arguments.

FYI I'm using SQL Server 7.0 which does not supports UDF's

Earlier response appreciated

Using COALESCE And Retrieving Data

May 16, 2012

I'm preparing a report that will display provider number, provider name, and a single field that will show all the counties that specific provider serves. I realize from researching the coalesce posts that this can be done. However, when I try to retrieve data in the same select statement as my coalesce, I get the error: "A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations."The listing of the counties must be specific to the provider, so my original code was:

DECLARE @Counties varchar(1000)
SET @Counties = ''
SELECT a.PROV_ID, a.PROV_NAME,
@Counties=coalesce(@Counties,'') + b.COUNTY + ','
from ECBH.dbo.tbl_PROVIDERS a inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_Provider_Serv_Regions c
on a.PROV_ID = c.PROV_ID
inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_Regions b
on b.REGION_ID = c.REGION_ID
where c.PROV_ID = a.PROV_ID
and a.MASTER = 1

I thought about creating a table to hold the coalesced values (need to coalesce two other fields as well), but wouldn't an insert to a table fail for the same reason?The counties table does not relate to the provider table, but does relate to a provider_county table (which in turn relates to the provider table).

Coalesce In Aggregate Function

Feb 6, 2014

If you use Coalesce with Count will it return all values even when null? Reason I pose this question to you is that I am running the below query and am getting escalated results than what should be returned. 1st stop on the debug train is how does Coalesce handle it....for example Boston should return only 143 but the query retunrs 194 for Boston?

Code:
Select
Count(NumOnsite),
originatingCity,
Coalesce(Convert(varchar(4000),NewspaperNames), Convert(varchar(4000),MagazineNames)) As PaperNames
From readytoshipOffsite
Group By originatingCity, Coalesce(Convert(varchar(4000),NewspaperNames), Convert(varchar(4000),MagazineNames))

If you look at BOL for [COALESCE] function we have:

Syntax
COALESCE ( expression [ ,...n ] )

Arguments
expression..is an expression of any type.

Return Types
Returns the same value as expression.

-------------------------------------------
Ok as it claimes , arguments can be of any type also the Return value, BUT when i execute the following command:

Print COALESCE('An String',12) -- just for example

and in generel when you have an string argument in this function you will receive the following error:

Syntax error converting the varchar value 'An String' to a column of data type int.

Could anyonel help me?
Thanks in advance.

COALESCE: Empty Instead Of NULL?

COALESCE As A Performance Enhancer??!?

Jul 20, 2005

I am using a clever product called SQL Expert Pro to optimizeproblematic SQL statements. It works by generating syntacticallyidentical variations of the original SQL, finding all unique executionplans, and batch testing them.Anyway, it generally turns out that a very odd change dramaticallyimproves performance (for a PeopleSoft database on SQL Server 7). Runtime goes from 52 seconds to 8 seconds.The change is to replace a join condition in a where clause with anodd equivalent COALESCE construct, e.g. replace WHERE C.PAY_ID =D.PAY_ID with WHERE C.PAY_ID = COALESCE(D.PAY_ID, D.PAY_ID).Has anyone seen this sort of behavior before? Why would it beadvantageous to COALESCE on the same field twice?The original and COALESCE'd versions are shown below.

INSERT INTO @table1 (ID,files) values(1,'')

INSERT INTO @table1 (ID,files) values(2,'')

INSERT INTO @table1 (ID,files) values(3,'')

Hi, I downloaded "Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition" v3.1, installed, created database in VS2005, created table TESTTABLE with one column TEST NVARCHAR 200 and run this command against it:

SELECT coalesce(test,NULL) from testtable

but it says

Error : The function is not recognized by SQL Server Compact Edition. [ Name of function = coalesce,Data type (if known) = ]

In this forums there are more usages of coalesce function, so I think it is supported and fully functional, but where is the problem, then ?

My system is Windows Vista Business (Czech version), version of sqlcese30.dll and sqlceqp30.dll is 3.0.5300.0.

thank you for suggestions


J.S.
