How To Add Explicit Null For Missing Data While Retrieval
Feb 27, 2008
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could propose a solution for the following scenario:
TimeID column would have values from 1 to 6 and rows will be inserted only for those timeIDs where we have Data value as well. While retrieving data we would like to have all timeID range returned with explicitly specifying NULL for missing Data column. Please see below to better understand the situation.
Using OnSelected on the SqlDataSource----here is my currect code:private void On_Load(Object sender, SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs e){if (e.Command.Parameters["@DueDate"].Value = "NULL"){e.Command.Parameters["@DueDate"].Value = "0000-00-00 00:00:00.000";}} I am trying to change the value from NULL(in a datetime field) to "0000-00-00 00:00:00.000" for use on the page.Any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! ,Gary"we truly fail, only when we quit."
I have a table called Appointment, for storing (you guessed it) appointments at a medical practice. If an appointment is cancelled, I want to collect a cancellation reason, so let's say that I create a second table called Cancellation which has a foreign key relating to the Appointment table's primary key, AppointmentID, and another column, Reason. Now, in order to indicate that an appointment was cancelled, I could include a Cancelled column in the Appointment table with a bit datatype, or instead I could infer that an appointment must be cancelled if it has a corresponding record in the Cancellation table.
It may be that it'd be better to store the cancellation reason in the Appointment table - But regardless, let's say I stick with the two-table solution described above, and I subsequently want to write a query to list all appointments which have been cancelled. If I had the Cancelled column in the Appointment table, I could simply query for all records in that table where that column's value was FALSE. If I went the other way and DIDN'T have a Cancelled column, I could instead write a query joining the Appointment and Cancellation tables to return all records in Appointment with a corresponding record in Cancellation.
That latter method, whilst slightly more complicated because it involves joining two tables, seems to me to be the most normalised. Instead of storing the fact that an appointment is cancelled in two different tables, that fact is only stored in the Cancellation table. Would there be a performance hit in using the two-table, 'inferred cancellation' method rather than just having a bit column in the Appointment table? Would that performance hit be enough to persuade you to use a Cancellation column in the Appointment table instead? And what about if I were to apply that method to other things associated with each appointment, e.g. Is it completed? Is it chargeable to the client or an insurance company? Is the client and in-patient or out-patient?
What i want to know is if there is any better way of obtaining the 'id' and 'name' data values then just assuming that id is the first returned object and name is the second returned object in each reader record.
ie. Is there any way to retrieve a specific field from the reader in a Dictionary-type manner...?
Hi, I'm using ASP.NET 1.1, SQL Server 2000 Server: I followed the ASP.NET 1.1 Starter Kit's Commerce application and applied the same principles it had written the code to retrieve data to my web application I created. For example I've written this Function in a class to return a sqldatareader: Public Function GetAdvanceSearch(ByVal s As String, ByVal Ext As Integer, ByVal fdate As DateTime, ByVal tdate As DateTime) As SqlDataReader Dim oDrAdSearch As SqlDataReaderDim oCmdGetSearch As New SqlCommand("spAdvanceSearch", oComConn) With oCmdGetSearch .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure .Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@DialNo", SqlDbType.VarChar)).Value = s .Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@FDate", SqlDbType.DateTime)).Value = fdate .Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@TDate", SqlDbType.DateTime)).Value = tdate .Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Ext", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = ExtEnd With oComConn.Open()oDrAdSearch = oCmdGetSearch.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) If oDrAdSearch.HasRows Then Return oDrAdSearchElse Return NothingEnd If End Function And When I'm calling this function I do write in this way (assuming that this function is in a class called "Calls"): Dim objCalls as New Calls DataGrid1.DataSource = objCalls.GetAdvanceSearch(<PARAMS.......>)DataGrid1.Databind My application is a Telephone Call Recording System and could expect vast amount of data. Averagely, a month may produce approximately 50,000 records or more. So while querying through my web application for a month, the application itself either gets stuck or the retrieval speed gets drastically slow. However I'm using Datareaders for every querying scenario. My Web application is hosted in a Windows 2000 Server and accessed via Local Network or IntraNet. What are the ways I could make this retrieval more speedier and efficient? I would like to hear from anyone who have come across this problem and anyone who could help me on this. Thanks in Advance. Looking forward for a reply from some one.
I'm stumped on how to solve this question so I figured i'd ask the community. As a warning i'm not sure best how to describe my situation so i'll try and give as much detail as I can.
First in table A, I have two columns that already have data in them that are numeric (Col1, Col2). Also, in table A I have two more columns that are going to derive their data based of a complicated data retrieveal routine (Col3, Col4). So my table structure looks something like this:
Code:
Table A Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 20 20 NULL NULL
(Where Col3, and Col4 are going to be populated based off the routine)
The Data for Col3 and Col4 is in an excel spreadsheet that i'd like to convert into a table for MSSQL. However i'm not sure how to do this because in the spreadsheet there is a lookup routine (that i'm trying to copy to MSSQL code, i'll show that in a minute) that generates its values based off data in the X / Y columns, so something like this:
Code:
_|1__|2___|3__ 0|0 |0 |0 1|1 |15 |25
So when 2 is met, and 1 is met, they would equal '15'. No arithmetic involved, just simply matching up the X / Y and pulling the data.
My question is, how do I create tables out of this, so my lookup routines can get the values as a result of matching X / Y? (2, 1 = 15)???
i am getting a hard time in minimizing time for data retrieval, over SQL Server DataBase. My DataBase consist of 2 tables. One of the table has more than 10000 entries and other table with more than 10 million entries. I have used SQLNative Client for connecting to data base and my goal was to find a value from the 1st table and search it out in 2nd table. The result is more than hundered thousand rows. Now the problem is: the time it took for retrieving those rows is much slower approx. 12 minutes. Can this time be cut down. I have used SQLClient connection to make sure it is accessing SQL server on a direct access base.
Also, i am using
SqlClient::SqlDataReader
for reading, getting rows returned by the my query.
I am working on an application to retrieve data to the windows ce 3.0 handheld from the Sql server database. I am able to retrieve the data from the server using RDA pull method and able to see the data on the local handheld database. To display the retrieved data in the dialog to the user, it requires to query the local databse and get the information and then display the information, which is taking some time.
My question is, to reduce the time and improve the performance , instead of pulling the data to the local table, is there any way to pull the data and have it in memory and display the details to the user?
To develop the above application, I used some of the code to pull the data from the server from the sample application C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server CE 2.0SampleseVCeVCReplRdaHPC. I am developing the application for windows ce 3.0 device using eVC 3.0
Columns are obviously fixed, but not rows. I want to show this data using lables and SqlDataReader for report purpose like; Label1.text=dr("value16").toString( ) Label2.text=dr("value28").toString( ) Label3.text=dr("value31").toString( ) etc
Do you have any idea how i can do it or am I approaching it in the wrong way????
A call to a stored procedure completes in 13 seconds when ran from within SQL Server Management Studio. A report whose data source uses the same stored procedure can take as long as 10 minutes to run. The same parameter values are used in both the direct call and the report. The execution log says almost all of that time is spent on data retrieval. How could that be? What might be the cause?
I have below DB structure in MSSQL for a small application which follow relational approach. Data retrieval (for Hostels) will need several Join, may be Key-Value approach where data retrieval will be fast.
Hi,I wonder if anyone can help with the following on a fee paying basisfor the the design or development of some type of script or utility orpiece of code to do the following work.I wish to retrieve some data from an online database that is in thepublic domain. The online database has a search facility that matchesthe entry (name) in a search box then returns a screen stating that amatch has been found or not found.If a match is found there is a button to click that proceeds to thescreen containing the data which is simply two names. It is these twonames that I wish to retrieve and store them in something like a textfile where they are associated with the original entry (name) used inthe search box.I have a list of the entries for the search box that can be suppliedin sample format for testing as a columnar text file or commadelimited file or a spreadsheet.. I would need the procedure toprocess the list of search entries, retrieve the data then move on tothe next one in the list. Obviously, if a match was not found then theprocess would need to move on the the next entry in the list withperhaps a message saying "No Match" until the entire list wasprocessed.The PC I hope to run the process on is a Windows XP machine and if Ineed to purchase any particular software that is necessary for the jobthen I am quite willing to do so. Also, as I pointed out above I wouldpay for the work to be done.I hope that I have explained the above OK and that I have posted it tothe correct newsgroup(s). If it is not in the correct newsgroup Iwould be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.RegardsDave Gibson
Hi Everyone, Am a third year student doing work placement. Could anyone please give me clues on how to go about extracting data from a LDAP and then into an SQL database?
1 A defined subset of data is to be extracted from GDS on a nightly basis, 2 Then imported into a SQL database for quick & easy retrieval. 3 A web interface is required to present data retrieved from the SQL database.
I think I may have figured out the solution to my recent conundrum with SQL Server 2000 that had me stressed and depressed over the last couple of days. In a nutshell, after a HotFix was installed on a SQL2K database server I have space on, I was unable to perform INSERT or UPDATE queries on database table of type TEXT, when trying to either create or modify records with more than 4,000 characters of data. While it was frustrating as heck, it seemed too rigid to be random, so I did some snooping.
The HotFix was intended to solve a known problem of not being able to run UPDATEs against TEXT fields, but in so doing, caused another headache entirely: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839523
Apparently this is a semi-known problem, in that a certain HotFix forces SQL Server 2000 to be a lot more stringent in requiring explicit declaration of data types and data lengths for parameters in stored procedure. In my client code, I was initially using the overloaded constructor of the SqlParameter object that took as arguments only the parameter name and a value, without specifying a value from the SQLDBType enumeration or length of the parameter (which in my case, needs to be TEXT and 16 (or 2147483647), respectively):
It appears that after the HotFix is installed, if the client doesn’t syntactically set the type and length of data for a parameter, SQL Server and/or .NET will default to a type of NVARCHAR, which has the 4,000-character limit. This all makes sense. I’m going to now need to modify the code to straight out declare what’s going in the SPROC:
It’s a minor change, and it sucks that I have to make it after the code had worked flawlessly over several thousands executions over several months, but c’est la vie! Better thay than have to rebuild my DB from scratch or switch to a new server. Changing the client code evidently is the only known fix at this time: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b827366
I am trying to create a report with a sub report in Sql Server 2012 using Report Builder Version 3. Â I can run the subreport without any problems. Â I read where using a shared connection can cause this error so both the main report and the subreport use a connection that is embedded in my report. Â
For testing, I created the subreport without a parameter and added it to the main report. Â When I ran it that way, the report worked and sub report displayed the data. Â So I know it can read from the database.It seems to only give me this error when I am trying to tie the two reports together using a parameter. Â
I have a small tricky problem here...need help of all you experts.
Let me explain in detail. I have three tables
1. Emp Table: Columns-> EMPID and DeptID 2. Dept Table: Columns-> DeptName and DeptID 3. Team table : Columns -> Date, EmpID1, EmpID2, DeptNo.
There is a stored procedure which runs every day, and for "EVERY" deptID that exists in the dept table, selects two employee from emp table and puts them in the team table. Now assuming that there are several thousands of departments in the dept table, the amount of data entered in Team table is tremendous every day.
If I continue to run the stored proc for 1 month, the team table will have lots of rows in it and I have to retain all the records.
The real problem is when I want to retrive data for a employee(empid1 or empid2) from Team table and view the related details like date, deptno and empid1 or empid2 from emp table. HOw do we optimise the data retrieval and storage for the table Team. I cannot use partitions as I have SQL server 2005 standard edition.
Please help me to optimize the query and data retrieval time from Team table.
I'm using Script Component to load data into Oracle DB due to the poor performance issue. Now, I found it will missing some data during the transmission. Please see the screenshot below:Â
I need to see inside a SSIS 2012 project a new SSIS installed component, but in the SSDT 2010 I cannot see the SSIS Data Flow Items tab for adding data source/data destination respect to the choose toolbox items pane.
I've got a report that is using a cube as a data source and I can't get the report to show all the data. Only data at the lowest level of the cube is displayed. The problem is that most of the data I'm concerned with is at higher levels. There's no problem with the MDX. I get the correct results when I run the query.
I'm using a table to show the results. I've also tried a matrix, but I get the same results. I'm using SSRS 2005 and SSAS 2000.
Anyone have experience with this? Am I missing something simple?
The project is a C/S data analysis system built with .Net 2.0 in windows environment, OS: Microsoft Windows 2003 R2 standard Edition Service Pack2, Database used in this project is: Sql server 2005. As a data analysis system, we need to load large amount of data from file to database, we do it by create a dts package and then do data loading by execute "m_Package.Execute(null, variables, m_PackageEvents, null, null)".

Hello all, I am using the Import Wizard to pull in data from an Excel spreadsheet. One column in particular SQL Server sees as a float data type but it contains varchar data. So I change this in the wizard but some of these values are missing when I select * from Sheet1$ in SQL Server 2005. Any ideas why this would happen? I have formatted the particular column as text in Excel.
I have a table of vehicle usage records with fields including vehicle number, driver, date/time, starting odo, ending odo. I'm looking to compare the starting odo of a given record to the ending odo of the last time that vehicle was used. I also need to return other fields from that previous record, like the date/time and driver.My users basically run a report for any given day, and the vehicles used on that day need to be compared to their most recent usage (most recent relative to the record at hand). This is to ensure that the vehicle hasn't been used in the interim and not recorded (which may indicate theft).I've got a very convoluted process in place, but I'd like to see if it can be streamlined. The current process is done in Access and has a number of queries built on other queries. It is very slow. The data is in SQL Server. Any thoughts on the best ways to accomplish this?TIA
Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you
set ansi_nulls off
go
declare
@inFileName VARCHAR (100),
@inFileSize INT,
@Id int,
@inlanguageid INT,
@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),
@ExeState int
set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'
set @inFileSize = 28796
set @Id= 1
set @inlanguageid =null
set @inFileVersion =NULL
set @ExeState =0
select Dr.StateID from table1 dR
where
DR.[FileName] = @inFileName
AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize
AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)
Hi there, Is there a way to retrieve the set of primary keys from an inserted record, especially when the primary keys are generated upon insertion (ex. identity, uniqueid)? Basically I need to get the ID of the record I just inserted so that I can use it as a reference to that record in other places. I'm using MS SQL and raw SQL commands (ie. no database interfacing objects). I'm hoping I can tag some sort of SELECT statement on the end of the INSERT command that will give me the results that I need. Thanks!
Hi all, I dont know if anyone here can help me...I am using ASP.NEt with VB.Net and SQL Sever...What I am trying to do is create a system whereby it allows users to upload images into sql server, and thereon later retireve this image.I used a book called The Ultimate VB.Net and ASP.Net Code Book, and it basically gave me the code below to upload and retrieve images. I seem to have managed to allow the uploading of images, with them being stored as <byte> in my database, thought I have no idea how to retrieve them...Does anyone have any ideas???Here is the code I followed.. :"Storing Uploaded Files in Your Database First, a few tips on storing files inside your SQL Server database.For convenience, you’ll really need to store at least three bits of information about your file to get it out in the same shape as you put it in. I’d suggest “data� (a field that will hold your actual file as a byte array, data type “image�), “type� (a field to hold details of the type of file it is, data type “varchar�), and “length� (a field to hold the length in bytes of your file, data type “int�). I’d also recommend “downloadName�, a field to hold the name that the file had when it was uploaded, data type “varchar�. This helps suggest a name should the file be downloaded again via the Web.The problem you have is translating the information from the File Field control into an acceptable format for your database. For a start, you need to get your file into a byte array to store it in an image field. You also need to extract the file type, length, and the download name. Once you have this, set your fields to these values using regular ADO.NET code.So, how do you get this information? It’s simple: just use the following ready-to-run code snippets, passing in your File Field control as an argument. Each function will return just the information you want to feed straight into your database, from a byte array for the image field to a string for the file type.Public Function GetByteArrayFromFileField( _ ByVal FileField As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile) _ As Byte() ' Returns a byte array from the passed ' file field controls file Dim intFileLength As Integer, bytData() As Byte Dim objStream As System.IO.Stream If FileFieldSelected(FileField) Then intFileLength = FileField.PostedFile.ContentLength ReDim bytData(intFileLength) objStream = FileField.PostedFile.InputStream objStream.Read(bytData, 0, intFileLength) Return bytData End If End Function Public Function FileFieldType(ByVal FileField As _ System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile) As String ' Returns the type of the posted file If Not FileField.PostedFile Is Nothing Then _ Return FileField.PostedFile.ContentType End Function Public Function FileFieldLength(ByVal FileField As _ System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile) As Integer ' Returns the length of the posted file If Not FileField.PostedFile Is Nothing Then _ Return FileField.PostedFile.ContentLength End Function Public Function FileFieldFilename(ByVal FileField As _ System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile) As String ' Returns the core filename of the posted file If Not FileField.PostedFile Is Nothing Then _ Return Replace(FileField.PostedFile.FileName, _ StrReverse(Mid(StrReverse(FileField.PostedFile.FileName), _ InStr(1, StrReverse(FileField.PostedFile.FileName), ""))), "") End Function Sorted! One question remains, however. Once you’ve got a file inside a database, how do you serve it back up to a user? First, get the data back out of SQL Server using regular ADO.NET code. After that? Well, here’s a handy function that’ll do all the hard work for you. Simply pass the data from your table fields and hey presto:Public Sub DeliverFile(ByVal Page As System.Web.UI.Page, _ ByVal Data() As Byte, ByVal Type As String, _ ByVal Length As Integer, _ Optional ByVal DownloadFileName As String = "") ' Delivers a file, such as an image or PDF file, ' back through the Response object ' Sample usage from within an ASP.NET page: ' - DeliverFile(Me, bytFile(), strType, intLength, "MyImage.bmp") With Page.Response .Clear() .ContentType = Type If DownloadFileName <> "" Then Page.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", _ "filename=" & DownloadFileName) End If .OutputStream.Write(Data, 0, Length) .End() End With End Sub Simply pass your byte array, file type, and length, and it’ll send it straight down to your surfer. If it’s an image, it’ll be displayed in the browser window. If it’s a regular file, you’ll be prompted for download.If it’s made available for download, this function also allows you to specify a suggested download file name, a technique that many ASP.NET developers spend weeks trying to figure out. Easy! Working with Uploaded Images Whether you’re building the simplest of photo album Web sites or a fully fledged content management system, the ability to work with uploaded images is a vital one, and with ASP.NET, it’s a real doddle.The following code snippet shows you how, by example. It takes a data stream from the File Field control and converts it into an image object, adding simple error handling should the uploaded file not actually be an image. The code then uses this image object to extract a few core details about the file, from its dimensions to file type:' Get data into image format Dim objStream As System.IO.Stream = _ MyFileField.PostedFile.InputStream Dim objImage As System.Drawing.Image Try ' Get the image stream objImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(objStream) Catch ' This is not an image, exit the method (presuming code is in one!) Exit Sub End Try ' Filename Dim strOriginalFilename As String = MyFileField.PostedFile.FileName ' Type of image Dim strImageType If objImage.RawFormat.Equals(objImage.RawFormat.Gif) Then strImageType = "This is a GIF image" ElseIf objImage.RawFormat.Equals(objImage.RawFormat.Bmp) Then strImageType = "This is a Bitmap image" ElseIf objImage.RawFormat.Equals(objImage.RawFormat.Jpeg) Then strImageType = "This is a JPEG image" ElseIf objImage.RawFormat.Equals(objImage.RawFormat.Icon) Then strImageType = "This is an icon file" ElseIf objImage.RawFormat.Equals(objImage.RawFormat.Tiff) Then strImageType = "This is a TIFF file" Else strImageType = "Other" End If ' Dimensions Dim strDimensions As String strDimensions = "Width in pixels: " & objImage.Width & _ ", Height in pixels: " & objImage.Height ' Send raw output to browser Response.Clear() Response.Write(strOriginalFilename & "<p>" & strImageType & _ "<p>" & strDimensions) Response.End() "For some reason the retrieval code isnt working for me..Can anyone provide any help? even if it means using another method?
Hi,I am using MS Access as the front end and it's using ODBC link to connectto the backend tables residing at SQL SERVER.I have some queries that are doing some calculation and the time taken toretrieve the data has been quite slow.The no of data in that table is around 500K records. and the tables havealready got the PKs defined.How can i improve the performance of the query besides converting to SQLViews or SP(this is going to be diffcult as i am getting some filterparameters from the forms in MS Access) ?Or what further checks shld i be doing to find out the cause. I have donePerformance Monitor and the CPU processing% is around 20 - 55% while runningthose querieskindly advisetks & rdgs--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200511/1
Using Business Inteligence I have created a report that runs off a stored procedure. This report has three parameters. For this example we will say the parameters are A, B and C. parameters B and C can be passed a NULL. The Stored procedure when run on the SQL Server 2005 runs fine and gives me the expected data. I then created a report based off this Stored procedure. If I run the report and pass it parameter A and either Parameter B or C it works fine. If I run the report and only pass it parameter A then I do not get any data. I know the Stored procedure works because as I saind when I run it on the Server it runs fine. So the problem must be in the Report somewher, but I can't figure out where. I have other reports that use stored procedure and some with parameters that I pass a null value to and they work fine. But this one report is not pulling the data.
Has anybody heard of this before or have any ideas?
I found a big problem. When we do a report it seems to be missing records. I am sure they should not be getting filtered out, given the filter in the report. I ran profiler on the SQL box it was pulling the data from, and it seems that they are all there. If I sort by the ID number of the records, then find the place it should be several are missing. But If I change the filter so that it filters everything but those records they show up. How could adding a filter cause more records to show up?
I need help(Tutorials or online links) regarding storing and retrieval of files in Sql server (BLOB) using ASP.net and C#. Secondly,Is it possible to search file in BLOB using SQL server Full text search service.
