I have a database with tables with the following schema...
Articles) ArticleID, Version ArticlesVersions)ArticleID Version Title Body etc...
I use the articles table to simply map to a version. This allows for me to revert the article to a earliar version.
I want to cache all the articles including the versions, but with another feild that needs to be created durring the select to determine wether the article version is the active version. The feild needs to be a bit (boolean).
I was thinking maybe SELECT (IF test = test THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as IsCurrent.
Hi, I have a stored procedure and using various where condition and all have proper index(clustered). All columns are doing clustered index seek but only the date column doing index scan. If I forcing(hint) the index and getting better performance but still that doing cluster index scan.
Why I am having problem whith this date field? and How can able to make it index seek instead of clustered index scan?.
Let's say I have three fields in a table like this...
Name
Tell us about cats
Tell us about dogs
Now I have two records.
Name Billy Bob
Tell us about cats I do not have any Cats
Tell us about dogs "null"
Name Joe Slick
Tell us about cats "null"
Tell us about dogs they sure chase Cats a lot.
I want my report to generate like this:
Name Billy Bob
Tell us about cats I do not have any cats
Name Joe Slick
Tell us about dogs they sure chase cats allot.
How do I omit null fields in a report including the field description? I am pretty flexible and I am willing to explore using ASP.Net, asp, html, VS2005 ? Or please tell me a program to use. I have a lot of reports to create. The data base is MS SQL 2005. The reports need to be published to the web. Can anyone suggest the best method?
Hi, Does anyone have a workaround or know of a fix to this problem: Default value set to 'date pick' from date currently within field by setting value equal to that field . ie if date is 01/01/2010 date picker opens in Jan 2010 - works ok. However, once published to Sharepoint and run through browser the Date Picker ignores the default value and the date picker opens for today. ie April 2008.
is it possible to give a default value for a column which is generated as a result of left outer join... when there is no value for a particular column it shows null is it possible to change give a default value based on its data type?
Hi, I'm creating a dynamic group of values using SELECT and UNION Example: (SELECT Description = 'Changed PhoneNumber from ' + @old_PhoneNumber + ' to ' + @PhoneNumber WHERE @PhoneNumber <> @old_PhoneNumber UNION ALL SELECT Description = 'Changed FaxNumber from ' + @old_FaxNumber + ' to ' + @FaxNumber WHERE @FaxNumber <> @old_FaxNumber UNION ALL SELECT Description = 'Changed EmailAddress from ' + @old_EmailAddress + ' to ' + @EmailAddress WHERE @EmailAddress <> @old_EmailAddress) The problem here is that SQL Server thinks "Description" is an int (by default probably) and gives me an error when I try to assign a string to it. I'm taking that information and using it as a field in a INSERT INTO ... SELECT statement, so I don't think I am able to use a DECLARE statement or if that would even work. Does anyone know how I can make it so that Description is always a varchar?
When creating a table the default value field how do I input a default value into this field so when the user does his input it is automatically displayed. I have a yes/no user defined data type and I want the default value to be no.

Code: SELECT M.District, SUM(case when P.PropType = 'T' or M.Status = 'SA' then V.CurrentTaxable else 0 end), SUM(case when SUBSTRING(P.Code,1,1) = 'P' then V.CurrentTaxable else 0 end), SUM(case when P.PropType <> 'T' and M.Status <> 'SA' and SUBSTRING(P.Code,1,1) <> 0 then V.CurrentTaxable else 0 end)

In other words, I am trying to sum 1 variable into 3 categories depending upon certain conditions. I have to explicitly negate all the conditions from the first 2 SUM's to simulate a default ending else condition. Is there any construct in SQL that will me to do the last SUM if the first 2 SUM's fail without all the negation conditions?
I am using SQL Express and Expression Web. A table in my db records holiday requests and has a status field. I want this field set to a default value of 1. The field in SQL (Default Value/Binding) is set to 1 and displays ((1)). If I enter a row manually, it works fine. However, the web form posts data to the database but this particular field results in NULL? I've had to allow NULLS on this occasion to troubleshoot to this point whereas normally for this field NULLS would not be allowed. Any idea why this is behaving as so?
How can I ge the value of the constant using SQL ?
Also - anyone know why this is going to be removed from a future version of SQL - we use it for partitioning with replicated clients (long story) - but every table has one column which is bound to this default. We find it *very* handy.
I have populated an SQLdata table from an XML datasource usinmg the bulk command. In my SQL table is a new column that is not in the XML table which I would like to set to a default value. Would anyone know the best way to do this. So far I can's see how to add this value in the Bulk command. I am happy to create a new command that updates all the null values of this field to a default value but can't seem to do this either as a SQLdatasource or a APP Code/ Dataset. Any suggestions or examples where I can do this.Many thanks in advance
In SQL Server Management Studio (Express), when you create a new query the database defaults to "Master", and you either have to select the database that you want or write "USE databasename" at the start of your query.Is there any way of setting the default database? I can't seem to find any option to change this from "Master" to the name of the database that I am using all the time.Thank you, Robert.
Hello, I am working on a single server on two databases. whenever i open new query it uses one of the databases out of it i have access to. but i want other database to be default whenever i open new query as i work on it mostly. how can i do that? generalproblem
I am writing a two step process where the record is created and half of the fields are populated. The second step will populate the remaining fields. Between steps they will run queries against the table and the empty fields are <NULL>.When the field is <NULL> it won't return data on "WHERE Field LIKE '%'". I could just pass "" as data to the remaining fields however since MS SQL allows you to set a default value on a field. Is it possible to set the default value to a blank instead of <NULL>. This would help keep my code a little more streamline. Or is there an easy way to write a fuzzy search that will include <NULL> fields. Thanks
I'm using MSDE and I'd like to set a default value of a space (or spaces), and in design-view, it lets me enter a space. But it is interpreted as an empty-string "" which gets converted to Nulls when it is moved to another string field? I'm not sure why. Is there any way around this?
Hi, I probably do something stupid, but I cannot figure out how to set the date as deault when inserting a record in a table. I have created a Default in the database, giving it a name and the Value = GetDate() and bind it to the desired column.
When I insert a record without filling in a value in this datefield, the table shows me "01/01/1900" in stead of Today.
I have the following to create a new table.... CREATE TABLE dbo.test (Id varchar(20) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Name varchar(256) NOT NULL, visible bit NOT NULL )
I need to set the default value of the bit visible to 1. How can this be done using a T-SQL statement? Thanks, Zath
I need to set the default value of a field in my table to 'Regular' if nothing is inserted to that field. Is it not as easy as putting ('Regular') in Default Value?
I am trying to insert a row in a table. One of the column has been defined as smalldatetime datatype. The insertion is successful but some default date is getting inserted in the date field. The default date is 1/1/1900. I haven't given any default date. I want to insert null in that field. I don't want any default date to get inserted.
If you have any solution to this please reply urgently. Thanks.
