I have a form with two date fields that the user will submit their requested vacation time off with. When they insert it, I am trying to say find the difference between the request_start_date and request_end_date in days MINUS any of the days they would already have off like weekends or holidays that are included in another table. Everything inserts okay, but I am getting null for the request_duration. If I put dates in quotes and run the query it comes back with the right results. If I put the dates in the form and submit it, I get Null for the request_duration.
Thank you in advnace for any help on this!

I am trying to come up with a SQL statement to determine the following.
I have an OrderDetails table with items for rental. In order to determine the proper billing I have created a second table that is a foreign key to the OrderDetails table that lists the shipping and returns of each line item. the Columns in this table include a ShipActionType, Quantity and ShipActionDate. If the type is equal to 1, the action is the shipping out of an item and if the type is equal to 2, the action is the return of an item.
For example, I might have a line in OrderDetails that says Widget A, Quantity 10.
The shipping Table then might show the following in relation to this line item:
Type Qty Date 1 10 03/07/2008 2 5 03/21/2008 2 3 03/27/2008 2 2 03/29/2008
What i'd like to determine is the total number of billable days this item was out to the customer.
I have tried a variety of DateDiff formulas but have not been bale to nail it just yet.
Any suggestions? Do I need to structure my data a different way?
I am trying to insert a record to based on the source below, however the GUID of GiftOcc_ID is being returned as zero's so the first record can be added but as it is defined as the primary Key and uniqueidentifier the next record fails with a duplicate entry. Basically how do I ensure that the GUID is created and not nulls. As you can see I am trying to use Newid() which I have inserted as a default value but that does not work. Also as it is a unique identifier the "is identity" is not available

Hi, not too swift with anything other than simple SQL statements, soI'm looking for some help.Using SQL Server 2000 with this stored proc:(@varCust varchar(50))ASSET NOCOUNT ONSELECT d.WorkOrder, d.Customer, d.SerialNo, d.Assy, d.Station,d.WIdoc,d.Start, d.StartUser, d.Finish, d.FinishUserFROM tblWorkOrder w, tblDocs dWHERE w.WorkOrder IS NULL AND w.WorkOrder = d.WorkOrder ANDd.Customer = @varCustGOI'm trying to get a complete dataset so I can simply apply it as thedatasource to a datagrid in asp.net. I need to include a 'TimeSpan'column that is the difference between d.Start and d.Finish. I alsoneed it to present in hh:mm:ss format in the datagrid column. (A) isit possible to do this within the stored proc, and (B) how would "I"do that?Thanks!Kathy
I want to select records where AnswerDate is within 30 days of today, and include records that have a NULL AnswerDate. How can I tell DATEDIFF to treat NULL as Today? (I think I am looking for something like VBA's nz() function.)
SELECT RegistrationID , AnswerDate, (DATEDIFF(dd,AnswerDate,GETUTCDATE())) AS InvitationAge FROM Registration WHERE (DATEDIFF(dd,AnswerDate,GETUTCDATE())) <= 30
The code below returns the members who have accounts that are inactive, and works correctly. It returns the memberid, but returns null values for the barcode values. I am explicitly looking for unmatched rows, i.e. the LEFT OUTER JOIN will return joined member-address rows which do not have a matching account, according to the ON conditions, and these are the ones I want because of that WHERE condition. Therefore account.barcode will always be NULL too.
Is there to perform the same query and return account details? I have tried running a query to return just the memberid values and then perform a second query to match the account details, but this is very ineffecient and slow.
select member.memberid, account.barcode FROM member INNER JOIN address ON address.MemberID = member.Memberid LEFT OUTER JOIN account ON account.Memberid = member.MemberID AND account.enddate >= current_date AND account.closed = 0 WHERE account.Memberid is null AND member.isDeleted = 0

Thanks for any help oradvice.
i have 2 stored procedures: a delete and a select. the delete sp returns the rowcount properly. the select returns null. the code for both sp's is extremely simple and extremely similar. when i execute the select sp in server management studio the rowcount shows a 1 as expected. but the calling method gets null. SP Code ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[RetrieveEmployeeKeyFromAssignmentTable] @assignmentPrimaryKey int, @rowCount int OUTPUT AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT employeePrimaryKey FROM assignmentTable WHERE primaryKey = @assignmentPrimaryKey; SET @rowCount = @@RowCount; END c# code SqlConnection conn = GetOpenSqlConnection(); if (conn == null) return true; SqlDataReader reader = null; SqlParameter p1 = new SqlParameter(); SqlParameter p2 = new SqlParameter(); try { SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(); command.CommandText = "RetrieveEmployeeKeyFromAssignmentTable"; command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; command.Connection = conn; p1.ParameterName = "@assignmentPrimaryKey"; p1.Value = assignmentPrimaryKey; p2.ParameterName = "@rowCount"; p2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; p2.Value = 0; command.Parameters.Add(p1); command.Parameters.Add(p2); reader = command.ExecuteReader(); if (p2.Value == null) //always true any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks. matt
I have a simple table on my webpage which shows data from my database. It all worked fine apart from one part. I wanted the select statement to select only NULL values from a column, as these are classed as open queries. Once I have closed the query a 0 or 1 will automatically be posted and will no longer have a NULL value. I have a simple select statement (which I will post on here when I log in with my work computer) and at the end I have a WHERE Column = NULL. I have also tried WHERE column <> 0.0 AND column <>1.0 and that did not work. If I only did WHERE column <> 1.0, i only get the 0.0 results and none of the NULL results, but if I have no WHERE statement I get all the results including the NULL values.
I have a table tblnetwork on which identity property is defined on column networkid.
When I issue the following command new record is getting inserted into tblnetwork and identity column is getting incremented properly. But, I am not able to get the @@identity value It is returned as NULL.
Using SQL2000. I want to return the # of columns with non-nullvalues. Here's my query so far:selectcase when Dx1 is not null then 0 else 1 end +case when Dx2 is not null then 0 else 1 end +case when Dx3 is not null then 0 else 1 end +case when Dx4 is not null then 0 else 1 end as DxCountfrom tblClerkshipDataCleanwhere PalmName = @PalmNameThere are 7 rows for the particular PalmName I'm using. The queryreturns a result of 7. However, there are 25 values in Dx1 thru Dx4so the query should be returning 25.What am I doing wrong here? 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.
I'm still having issues with this despite my attempts to resolve. I even have "with exec as dbo" in my sproc, and and "exec as dbo" in my execution, but still the encrypted data returns nulls when I exec as a user other than DBO. Below is precisely what I have done. All ideas are welcomed.
TIA, ChrisR

The problem that I am running into is that if one of the values comes up as NULL the whole field is NULL. am i doing something wrong?
I've a package that has a excel source. But i'm having a strange problem with it. One of the columns in the source file have a lot of null values but not all of them. But when i run the package a put a data viewer right after the source and i can see that it's showing that the few fields that should have values are also null. I've tried a lot of things but they didn't work. I need some help and fast if possible. Example: Source file.xls Name Grade OtherGrade John 30 30.23 In the DataViewer Name Grade OtherGrade John 30 NULL
SampleID  Rep_Number  Product  Protein  Fat  Solids
In the flat file SampleID and Product are populated in the first row only, rest of the rows only have values for Rep_Number, Protein, Fat, Solids.
SampleID and Product are blank for the rest of the rows. So my task is to fill those blank rows with the first row that has the sampleID and Product and load into the table.
Hi there ; This Problem is goin to make me crazy! I've got a table with couple of fields, 2 of them are DateTime, in Sql Express 05 . I used asp.net 2.0 to insert datetime values, directly, using sth like DateTime.Now.ToString() . i use 2 selects as follows : 1)select * from X where Date1='8/9/2006 11:17:41 AM' 2)select * from X where Date2='8/9/2006 11:17:41 AM' #1 is OK, but the second one returns a row with all columns set to NULL . (X is the name of the table) Thanks in advance
i have a stored procedure that has parameters. this dataset is used in a crystal report. the parameters are in the sp and will return records if a value is selected. i would like to return records if one parameter or all parameters are selected. there are 3 parameters, date range, receipt, po # if i select a distinct value and leave the others null, or 2 values 1 null etc, i would like to return the records, i am having trouble with the syntax. thank you
We currently have an SQL db running on a web server.One of these fields is a large(ish) amount of text data – up to 400characters – and has been cast variously as varchar, nchar and texttype to overcome a problem. The problem appears to be in retrievingthe data via ASP. I understand that ASP can handle string data of thissize so I am okay there.When the records are retrieved from the db, the data string length =0.I know the data is there because I have written a Delphi data managerwhich interrogates the db and shows all records and their contents.So if ASP can handle strings this size and the data is there, why do Iget a data length of zero bytes returned when I interrogate the recordset?Whichever way I cast this field I get the same result.I know the code is sound as it works locally through a MS SQL serveron my PS.Anyone have this problem or know what's causing it? I have logged asupport call with my hosting company, but they haven't replied as yetand I am stuck on an urgent project.Any suggestions?CheersGrant
I'm running into an issue where if a report retrieves 0 records, I run into an error. My report has 2 queries-- the main query to retrieve Account information and the other to return Contact information based on the contact id(s) returned by the Account query. The reason needing two separate queries is that the contact and account tables are on different databases.
Now here is my account query: select contact_id, username, password from account. My contact query looks like this: select name, address, .... from contact where contact_id = @contact_id.
In my report parameters, I define contact_id like this: ******************************************* name = contact_id data type = integer prompt = [blanked out] hidden = checked internal = checked multi-value = unchecked allow null value = checked allow blank value = unchecked
available values: from query: dataset = account value field = contact_id
label field = contact_id
default values: from query: dataset = account value field = contact_id **********************************************
Now, when I run my report and knowing there are no records, I get the following error: "The 'contact_id' parameter is missing a value". Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Thanks.
I have a stored proc which should be returning a datatable. When I execute it manually it returns all requested results. However, when I call it via code (C#) it is returning a null table which leads me to believe the problem is in my code. I'm not getting any errors during runtime. Any help at all would be a BIG help! private void PopulateControls() { DataTable table = CartAccess.getCart(); } public static DataTable getCart() { DbCommand comm = GenericDataAccess.CreateCommand(); comm.CommandText = "sp_cartGetCart"; DbParameter param = comm.CreateParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@CartID"; param.Value = cartID; param.DbType = DbType.String; param.Size = 36; comm.Parameters.Add(param); DataTable table = (GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(comm)); return table; } public static DataTable ExecuteSelectCommand(DbCommand command) { // The DataTable to be returned DataTable table; // Execute the command making sure the connection gets closed in the end try { // Open the data connection command.Connection.Open(); // Execute the command and save the results in a DataTable DbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(); table = new DataTable(); table.Load(reader); // Close the reader reader.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { Utilities.SendErrorLogEmail(ex); throw ex; } finally { // Close the connection command.Connection.Close(); } return table; }
I'd like to return the following result set: CompanyModules.CompanyID | Modules.Name | Present 1 | A | True 1 | B | True 1 | C | True 2 | A | True 2 | B | False 2 | C | False
What would be the query for this? Thanks.
Edit: This is the query I have tried:
select CompanyModules.CompanyID, Modules.Name, count(Modules.ID) as Present from
CompanyModules RIGHT outer Join Modules on CompanyModules.ModuleID = Modules.ID
group By CompanyModules.CompanyID, Modules.Name
Order by CompanyID
However, it only returns a partial result set:
CompanyModules.CompanyID | Modules.Name | Present 1 | A | 1 1 | B | 1 1 | C | 1 2 | A | 1

I'm using SQL-MSDE and have a table defined with a 'identity seed' column that automatically gets assigned when a record is added (I do not load this value). This column is also my KEY to this table. I'm using INSERT to add a record. Is there a way to return this KEY value after doing the INSERT?
Hi,I've got a stored procedure that's inserting data into a sql database fine. The only problem is that I'm not sure how to read back the value of the auto increment field that was just generated by the insert (e.g the id field). Any help appreciated.
