Hi,
I receive blanks for a column called value and i need to represent it as a blank or NA into a colum whose datatype is float in the datawarehouse.
how is this possible because in current schenario a blank is being converted to 0
which is not the right thing.
i would like to retain the blank in conversion from char to float ,
please explain me if it can be done or how to overcome this issue.
Thanks
Hi All,
I put a blank or ‘0’ in one of column of a text file and then I used BCP to load this file to a table of SQL server 6.5. The field in SQL server table is char type with size 1. After I run this process, all rows with this column received ‘0’ and no blank or null at a black value place. Could you please help me to fix this problem and make some of rows in the column get a blank or null value.
TIA.

Thanks
here's my stored proc and i will tell you what I'm trying to do. I'm passing in a form value. It should handle anything. But it doesn't....
I have tried:
="",
='',
<>"",
<>'',
isNull,
IS NULL,
IS NOT NULL and now the isNumeric() function. Can anyone help me please?!?!
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spUpdateProductSpecialPostage
@ProductID as int,
@ScaleID as int
AS
DECLARE @ROWCOUNT as int
select @ROWCOUNT = count(*) from tPostageProduct where productid=@ProductID
if @ROWCOUNT > 0
if isNumeric(@ScaleID) <> 1
delete from tPostageProduct where productid=@ProductID
else
update tPostageProduct set scaleID = @scaleID where productid=@ProductID
else
if isNumeric(@ScaleID) = 1
INSERT INTO tPostageProduct (productId,scaleID) VALUES (@ProductID,@ScaleID)
GO
Cheers.

Select Cast('100.1234' as float)give me the result 100.1234Now when I convert it back to char I want exactly 100.1234Select Convert(char(100),Cast('100.1234' as float))Gives me 100.123 (Here I was expecting 100.1234)When I doSelect STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,4)I get back the result as 100.1234However here I am not sure how many digits do I have after the decimalpoint. If I put some value likeSelect STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,8)I get 0's appended to it, which is again not desired.Thanks in advance,Jai

I need to convert a a string column to integer. Before converting, I need to check if it has blank values then convert it to NULL. Someone told me that its easier to convert it to NULL before converting to integer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable

option 1

I can't take full credit for this. I want to share this with Jeff Moden who did the important research for this calculation here.
All I did was just adapting some old code according to the mantissa finding Jeff made and optimized it a little
Some test codeDECLARE@SomeNumber FLOAT,
@BinFloat BINARY(8)
SELECT@SomeNumber = -185.6125,
@BinFloat = CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))
SELECT@SomeNumber AS [Original],
CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8)) AS [Binary],
dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Converted],
@SomeNumber - dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Error]
And here is the code for the function.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float
(
@BinaryFloat BINARY(8)
)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Part TINYINT,
@PartValue TINYINT,
@Mask TINYINT,
@Mantissa FLOAT,
@Exponent SMALLINT,
@Bit TINYINT,
@Ln2 FLOAT,
@BigValue BIGINT
SELECT@Part = 1,
@Mantissa = 1,
@Bit = 1,
@Ln2 = LOG(2),
@BigValue = CAST(@BinaryFloat AS BIGINT),
@Exponent = (@BigValue & 0x7ff0000000000000) / EXP(52 * @Ln2)
WHILE @Part <= 8
BEGIN
SELECT@Part = @Part + 1,
@PartValue = CAST(SUBSTRING(@BinaryFloat, @Part, 1) AS TINYINT),

WHILE @Mask > 0

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

All,
I have a report with a document map and when I run the report through
IE 7.0, the Document Map is blank. Running that same report through IE
6.0 and it is fine.
Both instances are run against the same server via Report Viewer so
there is no difference other than the client IE version.
Anyone know of a work around for this?

Is this a known issue - blank spaces caused by KeepTogether property being implicity set for Lists/Subreports/Rectangles in Reporting Services? If so, will there be a fix soon?
Good Morning friends. I am using MS SQL Server Reporting Services version 9.00.2047.00 and I have a problem and i would like your help:
I have one report (Cuadro de Mando) and 4 subreports (subquadro, subquadro2, subquadro3, subquadro4):
Note: Nome of the subreports above, have a page break after showing the records and neither the report. The subreports are perfectly designed in the main report (Cuadro de Mando).
There is no space free between the desgin of the 4 subreports.
Each subreport are designed in only one page. I tested each one of the subreports individually and the preview of each is ok in olnly one page.
But when i test the report (€œCuadro de Mando€?) with contains the 4 subreports, one page in blank always appears between the previous page and the next page of the 4 subreports.
What can we do to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Hi:
I did the following query on SQL Server A and got the following result.
Input: select replace('10/10/00', '/', '')
Result: 101000
(1 row(s) affected)
However, I did the same query on SQL B and got a different result.
Input: select replace('10/10/00', '/', '')
Output: 10 10 00
(1 row(s) affected)
Both Servers are SQL 7.0 with SP2. I checked the setting, it seems to be identical. Does anyone know what could be the problem or have any hint what I need to check?
I beleieve the correct result should be the first result.
Thanks for any help.
