I am trying to concatenate three columns and when one column might be NULL, the result set is NULL. I have set "concat null yields null" to false and the result is the same. Here is my code:
I m Creating One table Create table Empname ( NAME1 Char(10) NULL, NAME2 Char(10) NULL, NAME3 Char(10) NULL ) AFTER That Inserting The data in Empname table With Some Null Values After that I m Fetch the records SELECT (NAME1 + NAME2 + NAME3) AS NAME FROM Empname) GET ME RECORDS LIKE THIS 'yaman NULL GUPTA' 'RAJ KUMAR NULL' Why NULL IS COMING
Just like the title asks...Is it possible...I have a table that stores memos but breaks the memo text field up and assigns a key to associate it all as one big text field in the application. What I am needing to do is to create a custom table for a customization to have the memo txt in one row per customer, per memo number. So, is there any way to concatenate memotext into one row per memo?

As i need to concatenate column value with dependent belongings just like if i pass canon categoryid in where conidition,so desired result should be canon->Dslr Lens->Digital camera->Electronics because As 'canon' belongs to categoryid- 40(DSLR Lens) then 40 belongs to categoryid-39(Digital camera) then 39 belongs to categoryid-35(Electronics) in single select statement...
I want this query to result in a new table that includes all of the information from the existing table, JobFormPressSpecs PLUS an additional Column with concatenated data as called for below. What am I missing?
Newbie question here. I have two tables that have a one to many relationship. I want to create a query that takes the info from the child table (possibly multiple rows) and concatenates it into a single column in the parent table. The tables are:TableParent (ASSIGNNUM (PK), DESC, STARTDATE)TableChild (ASSIGNNUM (FK), EMPLOYEENUM)There could be multiple employees for each assignment. Sample data:TableParent1....First Assignment....05/01/20082....Second Assignment...05/03/20083....Third Assignment....05/07/2008TableChild1....553422....334562....523433....352253....451213....11553I would like the query result to look like this:1....First Assignment....05/01/2008....553422....Second Assignment...05/03/2008....33456,523433....Third Assignment....05/07/2008....35225,45121,11553Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I have a query that I'm stumped on. The data has about 6000 records, of which about 460 of those have distinct dealer names and ids.
I am trying to condense this data so that there is only one record for each dealer, but my 3rd column has different values which is why some dealers have only 2 records, and others may have 10.
I know how to select distinct values, but what I want is to return a list of comma separated values for my 3rd column which consists of all the unique values from that 3rd column for that dealer.
For instance, say I have a dealer with 8 records. They have a unique ID and Dealer Name, but the 8 records appear because the dealer has 8 entries for its activity. The activities may or may not be unique.
So for example I have dealer ABC who has an id of 54, their name is ABC, but for their activites they have 8 entries (apple, orange, banana, pear, apple, banana, mango, peach).
I wnt to be able to select the distinct id, name, and distinct activities so that when my query is returned and displayed the record appears as such:
Newbie question here. I have two tables that have a one to many relationship. I want to create a query that takes the info from the child table (possibly multiple rows) and concatenates it into a single column in the parent table. The tables are:
The 2 digit number that appears on line 1, 7 and 13 (only in this example) i need to have added to the begin of each value below it until the next 2 digit number is encountered. The desired result set would look like:
I've got a fairly standard query that does a group by a type column, and then sums the lengths of a VARCHAR column. I'd like to add into that a concatenated version of the string always concatenating in primary key order. Is that possible?
I want to concatenate the column_names with the respective values.
Create table #test1 (Id int,Name varchar(10),Country varchar(10))
insert into #test1 values ( 1,'JOHN','USA'), (2,'SAM','CANADA'), (3,'HO','CHINA'), (4,'RAM','INDIA')
select * from #test1
I have temp table with columns (Id,Name, Country). I want to concatenate column_name with their respective values; means i want column_header with every value for the column and then i want to concatenate multiple columns. I am looking for something like below:
ID values 1,NAME-john-COUNTRY-USA 2,NAME-SAM-COUNTRY-CANADA 3,NAME-HO-COUNTRY-CHINA 4,NAME-RAM-COUNTRY-INDIA
Note: This is just a sample .i am looking something dynamic because i have around 50 tables.i can do with query below but since i don't have static columns and table i am looking for something dynamic
select ID, (a+'-'+B) as Value from ( select ID,'NAME'+'-'+NAME as a,'Country'+'-'+Country as b from #test1
Hi, I have a difficult case that I need to solve. I will try to be the very clear explaining my problem:
I have a sql query which brings me many records. This records have a column in common which have the same value (COL1)
There is a second column (COL2) which has different values bewteen these records. I need to concatenate values from the second column in records with same value in COL1. And I need only one record of the ones that have the same values. If two records have the same COL1 value, only one row should be in my result.
Let me give you an example: COL1 COL2 RECORD1 1-A HHH RECORD2 1-A GGG RECORD3 1-B LLL RECORD4 1-B MMM RECORD4 1-B OOO RECORD5 1-C NNN
Me result should be:
COL1 COL2 RECORD 1-A HHHGGG RECORD 1-B LLLMMMOOO RECORD 1-C NNN
It is clear what I need? I dont know if I can solve it through sql or any function inside SSIS. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I am getting this error: "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'OrderID', table 'outman.outman.Contact'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails." -- But my value is not null. I did a response.write on it and it show the value. Of course, it would be nice if I could do a breakpoint but that doesn't seem to be working. I'll attach a couple of images below of my code, the error, and the breakpoint error.

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:-
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](
[Code] ....
The script I am using is
DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table 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) ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'. Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.
I receive this message when I try to run any report. The reportserver and reportservertempdb databases were upgraded using backup/restore from SQL2000 to SQL2005 on a separate server which is running RS2005 . Please help. Thanks
I have a table with 10 rows with a varbinary column
I wish to concatenate all the binary column into a single binary column and then write that to another table within the database. This application splits a binary file (Word or PDF document) into multiple segments (this is Column2 as below)
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
Hi.I've read up on this, and have something that works, but I was wondering ifthere is anything I'm overlooking with this.Situation is:I have a bunch of tables.. I need to modify table2 as part of an upgrade of adatabase schema.I am using T-SQL scripts to do the trick which I'm writing myself.I need to add a new varchar(8) column that is not null to the primary key.I have a default I would like to use for the initial ddl modification.I want to get rid of the default after the modification is complete, but leavethe column not null for future operations...(Some if the code I'm using I took from one of Erlands posts.. hope I'm notabusing it).Here is the code I'm using now.. it basically adds the column 'institution_id'as not null along with a default.Then I jump through a couple of hoops trying to get rid of the default.Finally I setup the primary key again.I can only feel I'm supposed to be maybe using a constraint column with a nameto do this easier/more properly.set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref add institution_idvarchar(60) not null default ''' + @default_institution_id + ''' 'EXEC (@dynamicsql)set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref alter columninstitution_id varchar(60) not null 'EXEC (@dynamicsql)select @institution_iddefault = object_name(cdefault) from syscolumnswhere id = object_id('institution_xref') and name = 'institution_id'exec(' alter table institution_xref drop constraint ' +@institution_iddefault)set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref drop constraintinstitution_xref_pk 'EXEC (@dynamicsql)set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref with nocheck addconstraint institution_xref_pk primary key clustered (originalcode,institution_id) 'EXEC (@dynamicsql)thanksJeffJeff Kish
It is issues like this that drive a programmer insane! I am trying to figure out if I am missing something here.
I have a query like this:
SELECT CL.DivisionId FROM CompanyLabels CL, BusinessRules B WHERE CL.CompanyLabelId = B.CompanyLabelId
In my table, DivisionId is nullable and equal to NULL.
In my VS.2005 Mobile 5 application, this line is giving me fits:
if (dr["DivisionId"] != null) { MessageBox.Show(dr["DivisionId"].ToString().Length.ToString()); divisionId = Convert.ToInt32(dr["DivisionId"].ToString()); }
DivisionId passes the null check and is blank. The message box returns "0" and of course, I get a FormatError on the conversion.
I have also tried DBNull in place of null. Is there a special System.Data.SqlServerCe NULL value in the SQL CE framework that I should be using? Am I completely forgetting something here?
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)
