View 1 RepliesA column of a table has values in the format - 35106;#Grandbouche-Cropp, Amy.
I need to format the column data in such a way that only the text after # (Grandbouche-Cropp, Amy) remain in the column.
The text before ;# (35106) should be inserted in to another column of the same table.
Below is the table structure:

I've 2 tables with a relation:
Customers
- CustId
- Name
- LevelId ==> FK relation to Levels.LevelId
Levels
- LevelId
- Description
What I want to do, is save a NULL value in the Customers.LevelId when no level is selected. I'm using C#, a CLR StoredProcedure and the DbType.Int32 for that column. When I try to save a null value, it says "cannot convert null to int", what is clear. But in the database it is possible to save a NULL value.
The question is: How to save a null value in a int column via a C# CLR Stored Procedure?
Hi dear experts:
The message is

At my table, I have a primary key which make autonumber for any record set in column 'ID_Month'. How can I insert autonumber in column 'ID_Month'by SQL statement?
Thank you in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I'm working on a website that allows users to upload small JPEG files. I followed the article at http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/120606-1.aspx. On the webpage I'm using a formview control to insert new records in the database. As suggested in the article I removed the "type='object'" from the insert parameters for the image column. The data is saved by using a sqldatasource with stored procedures. The image column is of type varbinary(max) and allows null values. Everythings works fine as long as the user uploads an image. The data is saved correctly and on another page the image can be viewed. However if the user does not upload a picture and tries to save the new record the following error is thrown:
�Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.�
In the formviews iteminserting event I have the following code: Dim imageBytes(fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Length) As Byte fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Read(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length) e.Values("Image") = imageBytes What code should I use in case the fileupload1 has no file? I tried something like: e.values("Image") = dbnull.value But that doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Whats with this????
Hello everyone,
I am having a little problem with a simple package and I do not know if this is a known issue or that I am missing something.
I have a data flow task, a simple one, with an oledb source pulling data, using a select statement, from a sql server 2005 instance, and an ole db destination pointing to a table in a sql server 2000 instance. Both intances are standard edition. The table in the destination has a column which allow null values and has also a default constraint (getdate()), and this column is not present in the source. When I map the columns in the destination, I leave this column as "ignore", not being mapped to any column from the source. The problem is that when I execute the task, SSIS is trying to insert NULL value into this column, so the package fail with the error "can not insert NULL value into column myColumn". I wonder why is it trying to insert NULL value if the column is not mapped to any column from the source.
Is this a known issue or I am nissing something in the settings?
If the destination table has rowversion or identity columns, there is no problem ar all. I ignore those columns in the mapping and SQL Server feeds them as expected.
Thanks in advance,
Alejandro Mesa
Hi,
I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time.
thanks.

I came from DW admin background and new to SQL programming. I have 3 tables:
CUSTOMER - cust_id, cust_name, cust_state
SALES_HEADER - sales_id, cust_id, sales_amount
SALES_DETAIL - prod_id, sales_id, prod_name, prod_price
I am trying to insert into SALES_HEADER table from CUSTOMER and SALES_DETAIL tables. Here are the SQL queries that I am trying to insert.
insert into dbo.SALES_HEADER (SALES_ID,SALES_AMOUNT)
select SALES_ID, sum(PROD_PRICE)
from BOBJ.dbo.SALES_DETAIL
group by SALES_ID;
The above query is working good & to get cust_id from CUSTOMER:
Update dbo.SALES_HEADER
set CUST_ID = (select CUST_ID from dbo.CUSTOMER
where dbo.SALES_HEADER.CUST_ID = dbo.CUSTOMER.CUST_ID)
where CUST_ID is null;
This query is not working & getting message - 6 rows updated successfully.
But using select * from dbo.SALES_HEADER, CUST_ID is still showing as NULL.
What did I do wrong and is there a way to write single query rather than two queries.
Cannot find an answer to this in previous posting, though there are similar topics.
My primary key "ID" requires a value (is not nullable), and not explictly providing it with one when I update a new record gives the following error:

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'AdClub.mediaq.News'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
However, trying to stuff that field with a recordCount+1 value (or any value), I get this error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'Primary Key'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'News'.

Cannot figure this one out. The value I'm providing for that field is known to be unique, but the SQL Server spits it out each time.
Is there a way to have the ID primary field automatically update with a new value when a new record is generated? This is how I used to do it in Access, but cannot find a similar feature in SQL Server. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but right now I'm stuck in this "Catch-22" situation.
Please help!
I received this stored procedure that I modified to run on my system. Specifically, I only changed the database and filter text and left the rest alone. When I execute the stored procedure, I get the error:
Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure ObjectNotesInsert, Line 18
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'RefRowPointer', table 'pSCI_App.dbo.ObjectNotes'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
Here is the actual stored procedure I am running. I should add that I can execute each step and get results and if I hard code the resulting values into the procedure, the execution works.Â

We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-

DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed

DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script
[Code] ....
When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Looking at the strings I build
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)

They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error

None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.
Does null column take storage in table ? I created the following table:
drop table [dbo].[TBL_orig]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TBL_orig](
[1] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[2] [bigint] NULL,
[3] [bigint] NULL,
[4] [bigint] NULL,
[5] [float] NULL,
[Code] ....
Does null value will take a place even no data insert to this columns and if yes this answer is 4 mb is logical gap ?
Hi,
I'm merge replicating a SQL Server 2005 database (publisher) to SQL Compact databases (subscribers) on mobile devices. I understood that I could add a "not null" column to a replicated table on the server as long as I specified a default value, but it seems this is not possible. I ran the following script on the server database:
ALTER TABLE Activity ADD ActivityRequiresProject bit not null default(0)
which executed OK. When I went to synchronize the db on the mobile device I got the following error:
Alter table only allows columns to be added which can contain null values. The column cannot be added to the table because it does not allow null values.
The SQL statement failed to execute. If this occurred while using merge replication, this is an internal error. If this occurred while using RDA, then the SQL statement is invalid either on the PULL statement or on the SubmitSQL statement. [ SQL statement = alter table "Activity" add "ActivityRequiresProject" bit not NULL constraint "DF__Activity__Activi__4A47DDAE" default ( ( 0 ) ) ]
Does anyone know if this is a valid error? Is is possible to add a not null column with default, and if not how do I update the schema on a replicated database?
Regards,
Greg
We have a requirement to add a not null column to an existing table.
I created the column with null and updated with single quotes, and then converted the column into not null.
Now, I can see in the publisher, it went fine. but in the subscribers, i'm getting the error as, can not insert null value. I then tried to make column as null to resolve the issue, but still it is holding the same error and not proceeding further.
Now I even dropped the column. still same issue. how can I resolve this issue? I'm using sql server 2008 R2 with SP3. replication type is Merge replication.
I'm new to replication and am trying to determine the best approach to add a column (NOT NULL with no DEFAULT) to a replicated table. The only success I have had is if I do the following:
Delete entire Subscription
Delete entire Publication
Add column to table
Create new Publication
Create new Subscription
Run SnapShot
The problem with this approach is that each step affects the entire database and not just the modified table. I think it is inefficient to redo replication for a simple object change. What am I missing? Is there a way to only replicate the changes made to the one table without having to run a SnapShot for the entire publication?
Keep in mind the column must be defined as NOT NULL and cannot have a Default.
Thanks, Dave

hello, i'm using sql200 and i am attempting to create a table that has an hourly-incrementing 'Date_Time' column, with a corresponding 'Total' column (which keeps a running total of values off of another table) . The code I am using right now is...
declare @date as smalldatetime
set @date = dateadd(yy, -1, cast(convert(char(11), current_timestamp, 101) + '00:00:00' as smalldatetime))
select dateadd(hh, i, @date) as Date_Time, sum(Subtotal) as Total
into #POGtable
from Pivot, OrderGroup
where
i between 0 and 24 and
CreationDate between @date and dateadd(hh, i, @date)
group by i
select dateadd(hh, i, @date) as Date_Time, 0 as Total
into #Ptable
from Pivot
where i between 0 and 24
group by i
select *
from #POGtable
union
select * from #Ptable p
where not exists(
select * from #POGtable pog
where p.Date_Time >= pog.Date_Time)
the solution is ugly, but the problem i'm having is that values for 'SubTotal' don't usually appear before 8 or 9 am. what you see above is me getting all the times (hours) that a subtotal present, creating another table with every possible hour in it (and with a 'Total' column as just zero), and then combining the two tables to create one flowing table over a 24-hour period.
there has GOT to be a better way to do this; the main point being that i want the sum( ) function to start adding up values immediately so i don't have to union two tables

Damn! SQLServer2000 can't add a NOT NULL COLUMN even in one emptyexisting table!That is, A is the existing table and it is emtpy, I want to add one NOTNULL COLUMN (col_new) to A using following T-SQL statement, then itwill fail.ALTER TABLE A ADDcol_new varchar(600) NOT NULLGOYou should change it to these statements in SQLServer2000:ALTER TABLE A ADDcol_new varchar(600) NULLALTER TABLE A ALTER COLUMN col_new varchar(600) NOT NULLGOah, ridiculous! right?Fortunately, this stupid behavior is changed in SQLServer2005. Thefirst T-SQL statements works.

Hi, I was wondering how I can complete a column (which doesnt have an input one) with data.
For example:
I have a sql query which bring data of 3 columns
ID | FISRT NAME | LAST NAME
1 MIKE MORGAN
2 SARA JOHANES
So, I will insert that data in a FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, which I configured with 3 columns and I did the corresponding mapping in the FLAT FILE DESTINTATION.
Now, If I add one more column in the FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, I will not have it mapped to a input one, obviously. So, what I need is to add one more column to the flat file destination and complete it with zeros values in it.
Probably I can solve this part by introducing a DERIVED COLUMN and there I can configure the zeros that I want to add to the column. But I'm not sure if I can do that without having a input column.
So, the question will be, how can I add one column to a flat file which doesnt have a input and introduce any value that I want to it?
Hope I was clear
Thanks for your help.

I have a table SaleMaster that is :
SaleID, SaleTotalAmount, SalePaidAmount, SaleDisocunt, SaleNetBal, SaleDate
and SaleDetail table.:
SaleID, ProdID, SaleUnitPrice, SaleQty, Saletotal
SaleID, ProdID will be composite key
Now i want to add a new field called: CustomerID (customerInfo is a separate table) as a foreign key so my new table should like this:
SaleID, ProdID, CustomerID, SaleUnitPrice, SaleQty, SaleTotal
SaleID, ProdID and CustomerID will be composite key. But when i insert the new column so it gives an error (Saving Changes is not permitted. The changes you have made).
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.Â
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.Â
This should be easy for someone, but I just can't seem to find a sample to do this.....I have created a table...CREATE TABLE dbo.test ( oId int NOT NULL UNIQUE, test1 varchar(50) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY )Now, I need to go back and simply add another column to the table such as test2 varchar(50)Not sure if the insert is the way to go and been playing around with various statements but with no luck.Suggestions?Thanks all,Zath

I'm sure this is a common problem but I can't find any relevant info on this site
I have a table that I would like to insert values into. I want to take the values from a secondary table using a select statement.
e.g. a simplified version...
TABLE1
(
Id INTEGER IDENTITY,
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
TABLE 2
(
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
Runing the insert statement
INSERT Table1 (UserName, Description)
SELECT *
FROM TABLE2
results in the error
erver: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'CDS_Live.dbo.Table1'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
I was under the impression that an identity column would be automatically inserted by SQL server. Now I know I could write a piece of anonymous Transact SQL which declares a cursor by selecting all rows from table 2 and inserting rows into table 1 on a row by row basis, but is there any way I could do the Insert with a single INSERT statement?
thanks
