How do you prevent SQL from returning a null value for a computed column?
The following formula returns blank if any of the values are blank ... pftitle allows nulls, the other two are required on Insert.
(((([pflastname]+', ')+[pffirstname])+' - ')+[pftitle])
Where can I find the documentation of computed field operators and expressions?
how do you change the allow null on a column to be 0,
so instead of having null when empty, it would be 0,
I tried default value or binding to 0 to -1, and to 1
and in 0 or -1, it stays null, in 1 it puts the 1
for example if is quantity, it puts as if I would have 1 quantity,
so it's either null, or whathever number I put visides -1 or 0
how can I make it be 0 as defult?
I'm using it to add and substract with computed column, formula;
and the problem is that if it's the first time it's used it does not add or substract, becsause it does not add null with a number, if it has 0 than it works,
whata I had to do is add it manually, but of course it doesn't suppoesed to be that way
any suggestions will be appriciated:
I've 2 columns after executing query,
one column from those 2 is calculated column.
I am getting resultset as follows
ACCOUNT ¦(calculated column)
------------------------------
100 ¦alpha
100 ¦NULL
My concern is how should I remove record with NULL from final resultset ?
If I give some name to that calculated column say 'Name'
and tried to put in main query as
"where 'Name' IS NOT NULL"; it doesnot work.
Can you have any workaround for it?
:confused:
Hi folks,I have an issue with a column I created in my query called Instance.SELECT Object_Id, Event_type, Audience, Subject, Provider, Academic_Year, Start_date, End_date, CONVERT(varchar, Academic_Year) + ' (' + CONVERT(varchar, Start_date, 103) + ') : ' + Event_type AS InstanceFROM EventsORDER BY Event_type Above is my query. The problem is because the start date column can be null, it also returns the Instance column as null for that row.I thought it would have just missed out the date and display the rest, but it doesn't.Is there any way I could get the Instance column to display a value, when the start date is null?ThanksEdit: Managed to sort it using ISNULL()
View 14 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to check for System.BDNull when I use the column name instead of column index? The column Photographer (in the excample below) sometimes contains the value null, and then it throws an error. Or do I have to go back to counting columns (column index of the returned data) again? try { connection.Open(); using (SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader()) { if (reader.Read()) { albumItem = new Album((int)reader["Id"]); if (reader["Photographer"] != null) albumItem.Photographer = (string)reader["Photographer"]; albumItem.Public = (bool)reader["IsPublic"]; } } } Regards, Sigurd
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a stored procedure like "select * from ThisTable"
I'm doing a dataread like:
Dim val as String = dateRead("column_from_ThisTable")
If the value in the column is not null everything works great, but if the value is null, instead of getting a value of "" which I expect, I get the column name??? In this case "column_from_ThisTable"
How do I make sure I get "" returned when the value in the column is db.null?
Hi all,
I have a table with 3 computed columns, the first two reference a function for there value. The last computed column should be total of the other computed columns, however when trying to write the formula for this column SQL Server rejects it.
Am i correct in thinking it is not possible to reference other computed columns in a computed column's forumla.
My current work around is to call the functions again that the other computed columns use to generate the total, though this seems to me like a performance issue.
Could anyone offer some advise on my situation.
Any input apreciated.
Hello.
I've built a sample CLR function with the following declaration....
CREATE FUNCTION GetManager(@DeptCode nvarchar(3))
RETURNS nvarchar(1000)
WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
AS
EXTERNAL NAME Assembly1.[ClassLibrary1.MyVBClass].MyManager
And it works as expected, except when I use NULL:
DECLARE @MyManager nvarchar(1000)
EXEC @MyManager = dbo.GetManager NULL
PRINT @MyManager
It returns the value "Unknown" as it would have for any unknown DeptCode, as-programmed.
I'm of the theory it should have returned NULL without actually firing the function? Or is this only for non-CLR items... or stored procedures, not functions?

I dont understand why SQL added the COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS to the query - am working on a database developed by another person.

Hi,
we are facing some issue to get the underlying OledbConnection from the runtime ConnectionManager.
below is the code sample that we are using
IDtsConnectionService conService = (IDtsConnectionService)this.serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IDtsConnectionService));
if (conService == null)
return;
ArrayList conCollection = conService.GetConnectionsOfType("OLEDB");
for (int count = 0; count < conCollection.Count; count++)
{
string conName = ((ConnectionManager)conCollection[count]).Name;
if (conName == conMgrname)
{
conMgr = DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90((ConnectionManager)conCollection[count]);
ConnectionManager cm = DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager(conMgr);
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.ConnectionManagerAdoNet cmado = cm.InnerObject as Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.ConnectionManagerAdoNet;
OleDbConnection conn= cmado.AcquireConnection(null) as OleDbConnection;
}
}
In the sample above the conn is null.
To this query Darren replied to use the connection of type ADO.NET:System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 to create the connection.
Your call to GetConnectionsOfType("OLEDB"); will return native OLE-DB connections, not ADO.NET connections, using the OleDbConnection.
The connection type for the ADo>NET OLE-DB connection is -
ADO.NET:System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
but if user creates an New OLEDB Connection from the Connection Manager panel of the BIDS and selects the same from the custom UI how to get the underlying OLEDBConnection? the CreationName in this case is "OLEDB" and not ADO.NET:System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089.
I find it weird when decrypting a column from a baked up database and restoring it to another database. Here's the scenario:
Server1 has Database1.
Database1 has Table1 with two columns encyrpted -- Card Number and SS Number
Encryption and decryption in this Database1 is perfectly fine. Records are encrypted and can be decrypted too.
Now, I tried to backup this Database1 and restore it to another server with SQL 2005 instance called Server2. Of course the columns Card and SS Numbers were encrypted. I tried decrypting the columns using the same command to decrypt in Database1, however, it returns a NULL value
Here's exactly what I did to create the encyprtion and decryption keys on the restored database:
-- Create the master key encryption
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'myMasterPassword'
-- Create a symetric key
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY myKey WITH ALGORITHM = DES
ENCRYPTION BY Password='myPassword';
Go
-- Create Card Certificate
CREATE CERTIFICATE myCert WITH SUBJECT = 'My Certificate on this Server';
GO
-- Change symmetric key
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY myKey DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'myPassword';
-- I then verified if the key is opened
SELECT * FROM sys.openkeys
If I create a new database, say Database2 from that Server2, create table, master key, certificate, and symmetric key. Encrpytion and decryption on Database2 will work!
Any suggestions gurus? I tried all searches and help for almost 2 weeks regarding this issue but nobody could resolve this.
Thanks in advance!

I have a SQL 2005 clustered server which is returning a Null value for @@servername. I find the server entry in sysservers. I have replication configured on this so i am not able to do a Sp_dropserver & sp_addserver as this acts as a publisher. The configured merge repication stopped working because of this issue and I am not able to delete replication as the the delete option uses @@servername which returns a null value. So I am struck in a loop.
Any advice is appreciated.
thanks
Hi All,
I have a built an application to manage the report-subscription on my ReportServer.
I'm having some troubles with retrieving the subscription properties.
My problem:
I can retrieve all my propertie except the schedule definition, when I deserialize it, the Sceduledefenition.Item always returns null.
I use the next code to deserialize it:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
private XmlAttributeOverrides GetSchedule()
{
XmlAttributeOverrides xmlAttrOverride = new XmlAttributeOverrides();
XmlAttributes XmlAttr = new XmlAttributes();
XmlAttr.Xmlns = false;
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(ScheduleDefinition), XmlAttr);
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(MinuteRecurrence), XmlAttr);
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(DailyRecurrence), XmlAttr);
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(WeeklyRecurrence), XmlAttr);
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(MonthlyRecurrence), XmlAttr);
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(MonthlyDOWRecurrence), XmlAttr);
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(DaysOfWeekSelector), XmlAttr);
xmlAttrOverride.Add(typeof(MonthsOfYearSelector), XmlAttr);
return xmlAttrOverride;
}
private ScheduleDefinition DeserializeScheduleDefenition(string MatchData)
{
XmlAttributeOverrides xmlAttrOverride = GetSchedule();
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ScheduleDefinition),xmlAttrOverride);
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(MatchData));
stream.Position = 0;
return (ScheduleDefinition)ser.Deserialize(stream);
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I'have tried almost everything, but could not find the solution.
Please, this is very important for me, so every tip or shared thought could be very helpfull.
Thnx in advance
Im having some unexpected results from combining ISNULL with logical and '&&' and conditions '?:' in derived columns.
This works and returns A or B.
(ISNULL(Col1) && Col2 == "X") ? "A" : "B"
This fails returning Null when Col1 is null
(Col2 == "X" && ISNULL(Col1)) ? "A" : "B"
This fails returning null when Col1 is null
(ISNULL(Col1) && Col2 == "X") ? "A" : (ISNULL(Col1) && Col2 == "Y") ? "B" : "C"
I've applied service pack one and still have the issue. I've also tried using ISNULL in a condion like (ISNULL(Col1) ? TRUE : FALSE)
Anyone else seen this behavior?

Hi,
i have to use a datetime field in all the tables in a database as a updated timestamp.
i.e. : whenever an update happens to a row in a table, this column called LASTUPDATED has to be updated with current date time.Is there any way to implement this without using the trigger ?
can i use COMPUTED column to acheive this ?
Please help me..thnks in advance..
I am hoping someone could help me understand why this is happening and perhaps a solution.
I am using ASP.NET 2.0 with a SQL 2005 database.
In code behind, I am performing a query using a parameter as below:
sql = "SELECT field_name FROM myTable WHERE (field_name = @P1)"
objCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@P1", TextBox1.Text))
The parameter is obtained from TextBox1 which has valid input. However, the value is not in the table. The query should not return ANY results. However, I am getting one single row back with null values for each field requested in the query.
The SQL user account for this query has select, insert, and update permissions on the table. The query is simple, no joins, and the table has no null values in any fields. If I perform the exact same query using an account with select only permission on the table, I get what I was expecting, no records. Then if I go back to the previous user account with more permissioins, and I change the query to pass the paramter this way:
sql = String.Format("SELECT field_name FROM myTable WHERE (field_name = {0})", TextBox1.Text)
I also get NO records retuned using the same criteria.
What is going on here? I would prefer to use the parameterized query method with the account having elevated permissions. Is there some command object setting that can prevent the null row from returning?
Thanks!
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

I have code that has worked just fine for some time, and now all of the sudden I am having an issue. I have a simple INSERT statement built and then make the following call:
RecordID = cmd.ExecuteScalar
I have never had a problem with this before. The RecordID of the newly inserted record is returned into the RecordID Integer varibale. All of the sudden, the varibale has a value of 0 (null I assume is being returned), but yet the INSERT worked just fine. I can check the table in SQL and it is populated with no issues.
No exception is thrown of any type or anything. Does anybody know what may be happening?
The DecryptByKey function occasionally returns null even though the EncryptByKey function retuned a non-null value. The problem only occurs for a subset of rows returned by a single select and every time the script is executed, a different set of rows is affected by the problem. Occasionally all fields get encrypted/decrypted successfully, but this is rare.
It seems that the EncryptByKey function occasionally returns a value that can not be decrypted at a later point in time.
I am running on Windows XP Professional SP 2 with SQL Server 9.0.3042.
I have included a sample of the code below.
Thank you,
Mike

Thsi works but when the report is *not* late I'd like this to be null is there I way I can do this conditional calculation in a calculated field?

I have a view that has 2 columns. The first column is associated with a function for the Units. The second column calculates the Market Value:
View
====
Col1: Unit = get_number_of_units()
Col2: MV = get_number_of_units() * get_unit_value()
I need to call get_number_of_units() twice in the view. Is it possible to changes Col2 to something like: MV = Col1 * get_unit_value()?
Is get_unit_value() being called if I do Select Col1 from View?
Thanks.
somehow I am not able to figure this out.
How do I change a computed column using the ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN... command?
Hi,
I'm having a problem with a computed field in a table. I have a stored procedure that inserts a row into a table and returns the id and the computed value.
The computed colmn is returned as a decimal (29,6) but for some reason the value is returned with no decimals (confirmed by the Profiler).
The value is calculated and displayed in the database properly with decimals. Also, Is Persisted is OFF.
Below is the stored procedure, computed column foruma (both give same result), and the profiler trace.

I have a question about Computed Column Specification which you can specify as a formula for each column inside a table.
I have now columns named Age and Class.
Classes are "Kids" (ID #1) , "Junior" (ID #2) and "Senior" (ID #3)
Kids, which is for age of 6 till 12
Junior, which is for 12 till 16
Senior, 16 and above.
I have already searched for hours (I really did) on the internet for a solution, but ended with more questions because of the complicated solutions.
Now the Age is shown as a result of a formule of DOB (Date of Birth column), now I want the exact same thing, but the age must specify which Class the user is in.
Example, when I add a user with the birthdate 25/03/1988 (DD/MM/YYYY) he/she gets 24 as age.
With this formula : (datediff(year,[age],getdate()))
Now I want that the user gets "Senior" as Class (same table).
Senior is ID 3 in this case.
Now I do know how Case, When and Then works, but the validation fails. After reading some forums I understood that I should use a create function method. I am not really experienced with creating functions. Also the coding looks more different as I am used to. How to link the Computed Column to a created formula.
