i have 2 columns which are decimal
one is alway empty and the other always has a value -- i just need which ever one has a value -- i keep getting Error converting data type varchar to numeric
(COALESCE(TicketLoadQty, '') + ' ' + COALESCE(TicketTimeQty, '')) as theQuantity
how do i get around this
Hi everybody,VARCHAR has a higher precedence than CHAR. If you have a querySELECT COALESCE(c1,c2) FROM T1where c1 is CHAR(5) and c2 is VARCHAR(10), I would expect the returntype to be varchar(10) similiar to UNION. However it turns out tobe CHAR(10). Does anyone know why that is so?Thanks,Steffen

Hi,
The table in SQL has column Availability Decimal (8,8)
Code in c# using sqlbulkcopy trying to insert values like 0.0000, 0.9999, 29.999 into the field Availability
we tried the datatype float , but it is converting values to scientific expressions€¦(eg: 8E-05) and the values displayed in reports are scientifc expressions which is not expected
we need to store values as is
Error:
base {System.SystemException} = {"The given value of type SqlDecimal from the data source cannot be converted to type decimal of the specified target column."}
"System.InvalidOperationException: The given value of type SqlDecimal from the data source cannot be converted to type decimal of the specified target column. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The given value of type SqlDecimal from the data source cannot be converted to type decimal of the specified target column. ---> System.ArgumentException: Parameter value '1.0000' is out of range.

I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error.

Hi, all
I'm getting this error at runtime when my page tries to populate a datagrid. Here's the relevant code.
First, the user selects his choice from a dropdownlist, populated with a sqldatasource control on the aspx side:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlDataSourceCompany" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [PayrollCompanyID], [DisplayName] FROM [rsrc_PayrollCompany] ORDER BY [DisplayName]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
And the dropdown list's code:<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPayrollCompany" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="sqlDataSourcePayrollCompany"
DataTextField="DisplayName" DataValueField="PayrollCompanyID">
</asp:DropDownList>
Then, I use the selectedindexchanged event to bind the data to the datagrid. Here's that code:
1 Sub BindData()
2
3 Dim ds As New DataSet
4 Dim sda As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
5 Dim strSQL As String
6 Dim strCon As String
7
8 strSQL = "SELECT [SocialSecurityNumber], [Prefix], [FirstName], [LastName], [HireDate], [PayrollCostPercent], " & _
9 "[Phone], [BadgeNumber], [IsSupervisor], [SupervisorID], [IsUser], [IsScout] FROM [rsrc_Personnel] " & _
10 "WHERE ([PayrollCompanyID] = @PayrollCompanyID)"
11
12 strCon = "Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USERID;Password=PASSWORD"
13
14 sda = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, strCon)

I'm assuming my problem lies in line 16 of the above code. I've tried SelectedItemIndex, SelectedItemValue too and get errors for those, as well.
What am I missing?

I would like to fail a package depending on the error. The package extracts data from Excel files. I would like to continue processing if an Excel file is badly formatted, but stop processing if there is a serious issue. like the file server hosting the Excel files crashed.
I was thinking about dynamically changing the MaxeErrorCount property based on the Error ID or description.
Any ideas on an intelligent/simple way to do this

Hello,
I recently joined a company that is having an issue connecting to SQL Server Integration Services on one of their production servers. When trying to connect via management studio, both locally and remotely, they receive the error below. The server is a 64 bit server and is using third party replication (Veritas).
It sort of sounds like the issue described in this knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919224. However, we do not have a problem creating maintenance plans. I'd just give it a shot but its a production server and getting approval to do anything that modifies the registry with the registry replication setup is a pain, so I'd like to determine if there could be another cause first.

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.
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.

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?

AND coalesce(PM.BIRTHDATE,'1/1/1900') = coalesce(@BD,PM.BIRTHDATE,'1/1/1900')
AND coalesce(PM.DIVISION,'x') = coalesce(@DI,PM.DIVISION,'x')

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

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?
How would i use a coalesece on this function to get null. if i use coalesce(xxxxx,0). If there is nothing in there it returns a blank space but i need to put null in there
cast([DPVisionPlan] as nvarchar(255)) [DPVisionPlan],
I'm new to sql server. I googled the use of coalesce and find out it is another words a replace of ISNULL.I came across a piece of code posted in the forum about the different uses of coalesce.
use adventureworks
DECLARE @DepartmentName VARCHAR(1000)
SELECT @DepartmentName = COALESCE(@DepartmentName,'') + Name + ';'

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi 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.

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
7.500000
Tea
Teaser #2
thanks in advance
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.
hi,
my question is about using coalesce function in SQLServer. This function brings up the first not null value. my problem is i cannot get the corresponding field name. this is what i use
SELECT COALESCE(Stop1, Stop2, Stop3, ...., Stop10)
FROM ...
WHERE ProjectID = #URL.ProID#
it returns,
(no column name)
----------------

the fields in the DB goes like stop1, stop2, stop3,...
so, i need to get which stop i am .thanks in advance.

hello,
from one of my solution, i havent had time untill now to ask detail what is this coalesce and nullif? Is nullif just like the isnull function? while coalesce is to replace null? can someone explain base on this eg??
d.LocID>= coalesce(nullif(@LocFrom, ''), d.LocID) and
d.LocID<= coalesce(nullif(@LocTo, ''), d.LocID) and
~~~Focus on problem, not solution~~~
Please tell me what's wrong in this query. I am using SQL 2005
It gives too many arguments specified
CREATE PROCEDURE spocsearch
(
@nm nvarchar(30), @ID nvarchar(7), @custid nvarchar(10)
)
AS
SELECT nm, ID, custid, custcode
FROM Customer
WHERE
(ID = COALESCE(@ID,ID) OR ID IS NULL) AND
(nm = COALESCE(@nm,nm ) OR nm IS NULL) AND
(custid = COALESCE(@custid ,custid ) OR custid IS NULL)
