Hi,
I have fields in my table which allow nulls. Is it efficient to not insert anything (the field automatically shows up as null in this case) and leave or store some value into it. The field is a smallint field?
Thanks
I am using a DAL and i want to insert a new row where one of the columns is DATE and it can be 'NULL'.
I am assigning SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null.
But when the date is saved in the database, i get the minvalue (1/01/1900) . Is there a way to put the NULL value in the database using DAL????how can i put an empty date in the database?
THANK YOU!!!

Hi,
I am trying to insert null values into sql server from my access from. I am using sql statement. But it says 'Syntex error in Insert statement'. When i remove null values it works fine? How can I insert null values into a table?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Hi,
We are using an SQL Server database and seem to be having some problems with inserting null values into numeric fields. The field is set to accept nulls, but when we try and write a record into the database and that field is null, the application craps out on us. Are there any issues that we should be aware of when inserting null values into numeric fields? What might the problem be? Thanks.

All Null TrackCOdeID is populated as ABCDEFG
if we remove ABCDEFG and then bulkload all null values are populated
if a null trackCODEID is to be inserted the prev trackCODEID must be null and must not contain any value

how can we insert null into a small datetime field (from client application VB)
Hi all
I have a calculated fields in report designer such as a + b + c + d. In sql server if I run this query
select a + b + c + d from table1
and any of a,b,c or d is null, the result is null.
whereas in calculated fields, it does not return null but infact ignores the null value and treats it as zero.
I want my calculated field to be null if any of the values are null.
Is it possible? I cannot use the isNothing function because I have too many fields and it will be quite cumbersome.
Thanks
Hey everyone,
This is probably a very simple question, but I am just stumped. I am storing different name parts in different fields, but I need to create a view that will pull all of those fields together for reports, dropdowns, etc.
Here is my current SELECT statement:
SELECT m.FName + SPACE(1) + m.MName + SPACE(1) + m.LName + ', ' + m.Credentials AS Name,
m.JobTitle,
m.Company,
m.Department,
m.Address,
m.City + ', ' + m.State + ' ' + m.Zipcode AS CSZ,
m.WorkPhone,
m.FAX,
m.Email,
c.Chapter,
m.Active,
s.Sector,
i.Industry
FROM tblMembers m
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblChapters c
ON m.ChapterID = c.ChapterID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblSectors s
ON m.SectorID = s.SectorID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblIndustries i
ON m.IndustryID = i.IndustryID
WHERE m.DRGInclude = 1
My problem is that I don't know how to test for NULL values in a field. When you concatenate fields that contain NULL values, the entire contactenated field returns NULL. I am not aware of an IF statement that is available within the SELECT statement.
The first thing I would like to accomplish is to test to see if MName contains NULL. If it does I do not want to include + SPACE(1) + m.MName in the clause. Then, if Credentials contains NULL I do not want to include + ', ' + m.Credentials in the clause.
Can someone tell me what I am missing? Is there a function that I can use for this?
Thanks,
We are writing a C application that is using ODBC to insert recordsinto a database. We have a NOT NULL column that can legitimately havean empty value, i.e. we know the value and it is empty (i.e. a zerolength string).We are using SQLBindParameter() to bind a variable to theparameterized insert statement <<in the form: INSERT INTO table VALUES(?, ?, ?)>>. We are using SQLExecDirect() to process the SQL.We are running into the problem where ODBC is converts the empty (zerolength) string into a NULL value and this errors due to the fact thatthe column is defined as NOT NULL.We do not want to redefine the column as NULL, becasue myunderstanding of the correct usage of a NULL column is to indicatethat a value is unknown or meaningless... in our case we know thevalue (it is empty) and an empty value has meaning within ourapplication.I'm sure that this issue has been seen and address thousands(millions?) of times... any guidance would be appreciated.

When I try to insert a new record into a table that has a datetime field that allows nulls, a default 01/01/1900 date is inserted instead of null. I recreated the table and set the datatype to smalldatetime and I still get the error. What have I missed?
Hi all,
I have a projects table with 2 foreign key fields that both link to the same employees table because a project has a Package Engineer (PkgEngineerID) and a Contract Administrator (PkgContrAdmin). When I try to insert a record with null values for either or both of these foreign keys I get an error:
The data in row xxx was not commited. The record can't be added or changed. Referential integrity rules require a related record in table 'tblEmployees'. The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
An insert statement for the above would look something like the following:
INSERT INTO tblPackages (PkgNo, PkgName, PkgEngineerID, PkgContrAdmin, PkgRemark)VALUES (1234, 'My Package', NULL, NULL, 'My Package remark')
And the create table statements are:

Hi, i'm new to SSIS and trying to import some csv files (comma delimited) into SQL Server. A NULL value for a CHAR column is correctly regonized as NULl in SQL Server, but a NULL value for of a mapping to a VARCHAR column in SQL Server is not recognized correctly and i get the value "'NULL'" in SQL Server (including the single comma.
Sample:
CSV file contains columns A and B. A and B contains the Text NULL.
Column A is mapped to a CHAR field, and column B is mapped to a VARCHAR field in SQL Server.
After the import, SQL has the following value: A = NULL as NULL, B 'NULL' as text.
did anyone else had this problem?
thanks so much for any help.

Well met,
Let's say I have a web form that allows users to insert and update records in a SQL database. Is it better to set empty web controls (textbox, etc.) to DBNull or let it go as an empty string into the database?
Example code:
if (tboxNAME.Text == "")
{
sqlCommand1.Parameters["@NAME"].Value = DBNull.Value;
}
else
{
sqlCommand1.Parameters["@NAME"].Value = tboxNAME.Text;
}
Is the above overkill? It seems like it would be a good idea to set fields which the user empties back to Null rather than an empty string.
Thanks,

I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Hi,
I've forgotten how to put a null value in a column of a table where a previous value existed before.
What I mean is if through EM, you look at the data (Open Table -> Return all Rows) and you see a value in a column that is nullable (for example, I want to change a column that has a 'ABC Company' to a NULL value).
How do you that - i've done it in the past ,but cannot remember
Thanks in advance
I'm using ADO.NET and have noticed that it is somewhat more difficult to send/receive nulls to/from the database. What are the benefits (if any exist) with storing a null value in the db as opposed to a default value?
In particular, do you save any space by storing a null opposed to a zero or 01/01/1900? Are the nulls faster for searching/comparing when querying the db?
Basically I'm just wondering if storing nulls is really the best practice and why, so that I know whether it's worth the effort in .NET to transform my variables into a null-happy form.
Any facts/opinions are appreciated,
Inge

I have a derived column transformation that inspects two columns for spaces and creates a third column, initialised with either '1' or 'X'.
However the transformation is failing with the error"

SUBSTRING(rt_tran_inv_text,1,255) != " " ? " X" : SUBSTRING(rt_tnv_narr_cr,1,30) != " " ? " X" : "1"
Neither of the source columns contain nulls. Any idea why it's trying to insert nulls into the new column?
I currently have 5 fields in the same SQL Server table, 4 of which pull Stock Levels from other tables and the 5th is a Total Stock field which is to add the 4 previous fields.

E.G
COL 1 COL 2 COL 3 COL 4 TOTALSTOCK
2 NULL 0 1 NULL

Hi,I basically have two tables with the same structure. One is an archiveof the other (backup). I want to essentially insert the data in to theother.I use:INSERT INTO table ( column, column .... )SELECT * FROM table2Now, table2 has a rule on various columns:@CHARACTER IN ('Y','N')but the column allows nulls, in the design view is says so anyway.When I run this query I get:A column insert or update conflicts with a rule imposed by a previousCREATE RULE statement. The statement was terminated. The conflictoccurred in database 'database', table 'table', column 'column'.The statement has been terminated.Obviously, I've changed the names of everything.The only data in those columns which could possibly conflict with therule is the NULL value. Any ideas why this doesn't work?Thanks.

In OO programming, data references, such as pointers in C++ or objects in C#. If the reference is null, it points to no object, or to 0x000000, thus the "referenced" object is non existent and the "object" takes up no RAM.
I know pointers are not the same as Database values, but what I'm interested in knowing is, on the bits and bytes level, what is a "NULL" and how much space does it take up, as much as is the field? Or just one byte? and when a NULL is replaced does that cause a shifting in the data of the database page or does the new data simply replace the null?
Hi Guys,
I have a resulset in this manner.
id----- amt

9----- 30
10----- 120
11----- 110

Furthermore I would like to sum the minimum amt & maximum amt between two Null values.So ideally the output should be
minid maxid amt
2----- 4----- 40

21---- NULL----- 110

I have a table containing a VARCHAR(9) NOT NULL column. Every record in the column will have alength of 9 if a record exists.
WHEN I run the following query on the table
SELECT Column_A
FROM Table1
WHERE Column_A <> ''
I get no records returned. However, I know that when I run a query
SELECT DATALENGTH(Column_A)
FROM table1
WHERE DATALENGTH(Column_A) <> 9
I have used Datalength instead of LEN because LEN does not return the length of a space character.
I get records amny records. When I copy an individual record from the column, it shows that a space character is in the record.
Does anyone know whay this is happening?
I have been away from SQL for a couple of months, and for the life of me cannot work out a simple way to do what i want to do.
select bu1.name,bu2.name, bu3.name, bu4.name, bu5.name

Sale
INNER JOIN
Sysuser on sale.userid = sysuser.userid
INNER JOIN businessunitBU1
on BU1.Businessunitid = sysuser.businessunitid
left JOIN businessunitBU2
on BU2.Businessunitid = bu1.parentbusinessunitid
left JOIN businessunitBU3
on BU3.Businessunitid = bu2.parentbusinessunitid
left JOIN businessunitBU4
on BU4.Businessunitid = bu3.parentbusinessunitid
left JOIN businessunitBU5
on BU5.Businessunitid = bu4.parentbusinessunitid
So effectively i am trying to go through the hierarchy to find all the levels. Unforunately not every entry has the same amount of levels.
So its coming out like this.....
Bu1 BU2 BU3 BU4 BU5
L5 L4 L3 L2 L1
L4 L3 L2 L1
L3 L2 L1
L5 L4 L3 L2 L1
So whats the easiest way to move everything along to fill in the blanks, but move the blanks to the end - so it would be more like this:
Bu1 BU2 BU3 BU4 BU5
L5 L4 L3 L2 L1
L4 L3 L2 L1
L3 L2 L1
L5 L4 L3 L2 L1
