Determining Default Values Automatically
Oct 4, 2007
I am building code to look into the database and create "CRUD" stored procedure scripts automatically for each table.
I am in the finishing stages as my procedures take into consideration all necessary parameters and keys wheter they are natural or identity. It also takes into consideration User Defined Types.
I am working on the section which defines the parameters and their default values. ie.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[TransactionHistoryInsertOne]
(
@ProductID Int = 0,
@ReferenceOrderID Int = 0,
@ReferenceOrderLineID Int = 0,
@TransactionDate DateTime = '1/1/1900', <-- Possibly arbitrary
@TransactionType nchar(1) = '?' <---- How to get this.
@Quantity Int = 0,
@ActualCost Money = 0,
@ModifiedDate DateTime = '1/1/1900'
)
AS...
I have three problems remaining.
1. Using the AdventureWorks database as a data model, I run into the TransactionType field in the TransactionHistory table, a non-nullable nchar(1). How do I determine and use any default values that may be defined for this object?
2. Do UDTs have default values already defined?
3. How do I make sure I am not arbitrarily setting the default values?
Here i my select statement into the system tables:
SELECT C.*, T.name as xtypename, U.name as xutypename, S.*, so.*
FROM syscolumns C
left join systypes T on (C.xtype = T.xtype) and (T.xtype = T.xusertype)
left join systypes U on C.xusertype = U.xusertype
left join sys.all_columns S on (C.id = S.object_id) and (C.name = S.name)
left join sysobjects so on S.default_object_id = so.id
WHERE (C.id = [TableId])";
Thanks for any help

I have created a report, and am setting default values for the parameters. Once the default parameters is set, the report automatically generates. Is there a way to make it not automatically generate the report? We are setting the parameters with values that will get the end user the most recent data, but alot of times, they will want to pull older data as well. We don't want them to have to wait for the report to automatically generate before they can change the parameter values

If all the parameters for a report have default values, the report runs automatically as soon as you open it. Is there a way to prevent this?

suppose you have a large table with 2 columns
create table tick
(
ID bigint identity (1,1) primary key not null
, price money not null
)
and I want to know 3 things
Starting with ID = 1 through ID = (last)
give me the low and high price (that satisfies the below WHERE clause), and the last ID
WHERE high price - low price = 0.10
and the last ID (last) is the minimum ID to satisfy: high price - low price = 0.10
So the last ID will coincide with the record containing either the low or high price, the problem is you don't know which record in that range has the corresponding high/low price, it could be the first record or the 10,000th record.
I am thinking I need to create two summary tables, maybe calculate the min(ID) that goes down 0.01 then the min(ID) that goes down 0.02, etc...
Then calculate the min(ID) that goes up 0.01 then up 0.02, etc..finally join against these two summary tables to figure out which combination of downSummary and upSummary have a difference of 0.10.

How to find out that there is a null value in a column rather than a valid integer, DateTime or bool value, for strings I use 'as' operator to cast the column value and it returns null when column value is null, but for value types using 'as' operator causes compile error and using simple casting causes runtime error, for example:
int count = (int)row["Count"];
and
int count = row["Count"] as int;
the first one throws an exception when Count is null and the second doesn't compile at all since 'as' applies to reference types, so what is the way other than exception handling to determine null value in a column?

I was wondering if there was a way to set a default project to open in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 when the application launches.
Perhaps there's a certain registry key I could edit?

A have a multi-valued parameter (B) which is dependent on a single-valued parameter (A) on my report. When a value is selected in A, I want all matching values in B to be selected by default and the "Select All" option checked. To do this I have set the Default Values section in B to point to the same dataset as the "Available Values" section. Both A and B have default values so the report runs automatically.
One of the values in parameter A (say Value1) yields more values in parameter B than the other (say Value2).
If I run the report the first time with Value1 selected as the default for parameter A, all values in B are checked correctly. If I run the report with Value2 selected the first time and then change the selected value to Value2 and run my report, all values in B are displayed but only the values that were previously checked (when Value1 was selected), are now checked, leaving the "Select All" unchecked.
What am I doing wrong? Why are all the values in B not checked? The dataset is the same in "Available Values" section and "Default Values" section.

I have two practice tables I have created and want to export the values of one into the source table. I want to know if I can export into a table and have the destination table automatically give a primary key value to a record? I haven't been able to figure this out even after fiddling with the "Enable identity insert" checkbox under the Column Mappings tab. I have created source tables with and without primary keys and neither works because of the fact that I need to have a value for a primary key in order to INSERT into the destination.
Do I have to copy the source records into a staging table and assign the PK values myself by hand? This can't be the answer.

Is there a way that I can do this at the table level to automatically handle the rounding of seconds, etc. down to the minute automatically without having to use a trigger?
Here is a very basic example of what I am trying to do:
--example: '09-22-2007 15:07:18.850' this is the value inserted into the table by the code
select getdate()
--example: '2007-09-22 15:07:00.000' this is the value I want to store in the table
select dateadd(mi, datediff(mi, 0, getdate()), 0)

A common partitioning scenario is when the partition column has the same value for every record in the partition, as opposed to a range of values. Am I the only person who wonders why there isn't an option to automatically partition a table based on the unique values of the partition column? Instead of defining a partition function with constants, you ought to be able to just give it the column and be done. This would be particularly valuable for tables partitioned on a weekly or monthly date; when new data is added it could simply create a new partition if one doesn't already exist.

We have a table that needs to have 00 as the default values in the columns until the point in time where they are updated with the values that we will use. The updated values will be two numbers 1-7 and 3-9 example 47, 14, 26, 68. This is a nvarchar data type in the columns. When I try to set the default values to double zero 00, after i click save it changes them to a single zero 0 instead of a double zero 00.

I have a row of data being inserted in to a db table with default values, say:
Name Date1 Date2 and I'm inserting VALUES 'myName','12/04/83',NULL
Is there any way for the field Date2 to take the value being inserted into Date1 (ideally via default value)?
(Any good database tutorials would be handy! Thanks)

I have a DTS package that is connected to a table in an Access97 database and to a duplicate(by schema) table in SQL2000. If there is a default value in the Access97 field properties the DTS package will import that value regardless of any other value in the Access field. I can not see anything in the DTS designer that handles this choice.
Even when I look at the Access connection in preview it shows only the default values.
Any thoughts on getting the actual values?
Thanks

Pardon the newbie question...but I'm trying to load a dimension table in a small data mart that has columns in it that are unique to the dimension and not sourced from any source table. Two of those columns are date columns that I want to default to the system date and the other column I want to load with a default value. I can't figure out how to do this within a data flow task. The source columns flow from the input db source into a scd transform but I can't seem to edit the columns in the target table table if they don't actually come from a data source. There doesn't seem to be a data transform object to handle this.
Thanks.

I have a report that I run where the selected MONTH and YEAR defaults to the prior month and year. When I run the report it shows the parameter values show as June 2007. Which is correct since this is July.
If I schedule the report to run on the 1st of every month will it default to the prior month/year automatically (I have the "use default" box checked).

Building the database I have come across different databases some that add a default value for every field and some that don't. I feel it is a hassle to add a default value, keep track if it is added.
I guess with a default value there would be no "NULL" values in the database but one could also make sure in the C# code that all the fields have a value when inputed and on the way out check for nulls.
What is the right way????
Pros and cons.........

Hi, all, does anyone know of a way to change default values inside of a table without affecting existing values?
I have a table with default = 0 in usermask column. Some rows already have non 0 values in them. I now need to change the default to 1 but still want the non 0 values be there. I also want the new default to take effect when new rows are entered. What's the best and quickest way to do it?
Thanks for advice.
