How To Add NULL To INT Field
Jun 12, 2007
Hi all,
I have a table, named systems, with fields as follows.
field datatype
___________________
system varchar(50)
modelID int
.... ....
... .... etc...
The modelID field is related to the Models table. Therefore, the value it expects is a number that already exists in a Models.modelID field.
In the systems table, I allow nulls for the model ID field. If I edit the table directly through SQL front end it allows me to enter a system name for example and leave modelID value as NULL.
My problem occurs when I try inserting into the table from ASP. Whether I leave the value I'm passing to the stored procedure for insert blank or NULL it gives me problems.
Is this a typical issue that can be resolved with a simple property change?
Please help me resolve this, I need to have the ability to leave certain fields empty even though they are related to other tables. Is that possible?
Thank you for any help in advance.

I 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
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute
End
Please help

Hello all,
Can some one help me with this issue. It seems to be a common question and I have tried a lot of options but nothing seems to work for me.
I have a text box and this is linked to ajax calendar extender. They get a date and I am inserting/updating the date in a sql 2000 database using a stored procdure.
This is the code I use to grab the data from my web form
If txtTrimsEntryDate.Text = String.Empty Then
_oTrim.TrimsEntryDate = System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null
Else_oTrim.TrimsEntryDate = CDate(txtTrimsEntryDate.Text)
End If
If txtEstCompletion.Text = String.Empty Then
_oTrim.EstCompletionDate = System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null
Else_oTrim.EstCompletionDate = CDate(txtEstCompletion.Text)
End If
If txtProjectClosedDate.Text = String.Empty Then
_oTrim.CloseDate = System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null
Else_oTrim.CloseDate = CDate(txtProjectClosedDate.Text)
End If
_oTrim.InsertOrUpdateAProject()
This is the code for the stored Procedure
Dim oSql As clsSqlServer = Nothing
oSql = New clsSqlServer(AppSettings(_dbName))oSql.AddParameter("@projTrimsEntryDate ", _trimsEntryDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)
oSql.AddParameter("@projStartDate", _startDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)oSql.AddParameter("@estCompletionDate", _estCompletionDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)
oSql.AddParameter("@closeDate", _closeDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)
Now when it inserts or updates if the value is null then it inserts "01/01/1900" in the database. I want the value to be Null in database.
Is there a way to do this.

I would like to force a column to be null all the time. I cannot alter the table structure or alter the code that inserts data.
create table dbo.tblCustomer
(
CID int IDENTITY(1,1) not null,
Fnamevarchar(20) not null,
Lnamevarchar(20) not null,
Extravarchar(20) null
[Code] ....
So when this is executed the field Extra is always NULL
INSERT INTO tblCustomer (Fname, Lname, Extra)
VALUES ('bob', 'smith', 'ignore'), ('jane', 'doe', 'empty')
update dbo.tblCustomer set Extra = 'something'
If I've understood After triggers correctly the data will be written and the trigger will fire and overwrite. To avoid 2 writes
I could create an INSTEAD OF trigger
CREATE TRIGGER TR_I_Customer
ON tblCustomer
INSTEAD OF INSERT AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO tblCustomer
(Fname, Lname, Extra)
SELECT Fname, Lname, NULL
FROM Inserted
END
This will not write the "extra" field twice. However if a new Nullable column were added; it would be v.easy to forget to update the Instead Of trigger. Everything would still work OK but I would be effectively ignoring the new column as well.
What I would like in the instead of trigger is do something like this...
UPDATE INSERTED SET Extra=NULL
Continue with insert without supplying column /value list.
What would be the best way of achieving this, trigger is the only way I could think of?

My tests have shown that if you use BCP to import records with a
date field as " ", it won't work.
Is there a way to get BCP to accept empty date fields?

Hi everyone,
I have two tables - caseinfo and steps.
Caseinfo shows when a particular case entered and exited a particular project. If the project hasn't ended yet, then the end date is NULL.
Steps shows the steps the case has gone through and the dates of those particular steps.
I need to join the tables to show the steps the case went through during a particular project, but I'm having trouble with the NULL values in the end dates.
If I join the tables so that the step date is between the start and end dates of the project, then I get no step information for the cases where the end date is NULL (that is, where the project hasn't ended yet).
Does anybody have any ideas?
Here are my tables, the query that shows the main idea (with the wrong result), and my expected results.
Thank you for reading.
--- create sample data
set dateformat ymd
declare @caseinfo table (caseid int, startdate smalldatetime, enddate smalldatetime)
insert @caseinfo
select 10, '2006-12-23', '2006-12-27' union all
select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL union all
select 30, '2006-12-23', NULL union all
select 40, '2007-1-15', '2007-3-4'
declare @steps table (caseid int, stepnumber int, stepdate smalldatetime)
insert @steps
select 10, 1, '2006-12-24' union all
select 10, 2, '2007-1-3' union all
select 10, 3, '2007-2-5' union all
select 20, 1, '2006-12-26' union all
select 20, 2, '2007-1-7' union all
select 20, 3, '2007-1-9' union all
select 30, 1, '2007-1-14' union all
select 40, 1, '2007-1-23' union all
select 40, 2, '2007-3-2' union all
select 40, 3, '2007-4-16'
--- the main idea (with the wrong results)
select *
from @caseinfo c
left join @steps s on s.caseid = c.caseid and s.stepdate between c.startdate and c.enddate
--- expected result
declare @expresult table (caseidexp int, startdateexp smalldatetime, enddateexp smalldatetime, stepnumberexp int, stepdateexp smalldatetime)
insert @expresult
select 10, '2006-12-23', '2006-12-27', 1, '2006-12-24' union all
select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL, 1, '2006-12-26' union all
select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL, 2, '2007-1-7' union all

I have a datetime field in a database which I am programmatically inserting values into. The field can be null or not null. However, I am having problems inserting NULL as part of my SQLCommand.
The value is pulled from a text box (linked to a calendar extender) and when I select a value it is being inserted fine. If I just leave the box blank though, I want the field to be set to NULL. I have tried adding in ,DBNULL.Value, as part of my VALUES(…) string, but this throws an exception. I Have tried just inserting ‘’ but that also throws an exception (“The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value�), so I don’t know how I can insert this value when the field is blank?
Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks

Hi,
All records of a table must be deleted if a field (field1) contains NULL or is made empty by a previous update command.
I did this but it only works when the field is made empty, not when it contains NULL:
dim field1 as string = ""...sql = "delete from mytable WHERE (field1=@field1)" comd = New SqlCommand(sql, oConnection) comd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@field1", field1) comd.ExecuteNonQuery()
How can i do that?
Thanks

Hi,
I am building a website in ASP.net C# for a university project, and would like to search a table (Member) for a field (UserName) using a session variable Session["sUserName"]. If that field is null, then I would like to insert that session variable into the field to start to create a new user. However, I am getting errors saying that I am using invalid expression terms. My code is;
//Create the Command, passing in the SQL statement and the ConnectionString queryString = "SELECT UserName FROM Member WHERE (UserName = @myUsername); ";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn);cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
//If UserName is null, display confirmation, else display errorif (UserName == null) ;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "Username okay";
String queryString = "INSERT INTO Member (UserName) VALUES(@myUsername); ";SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn); cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
}else;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "That username is in use";
}
I have a feeling I should be checking the database for the UserName, but I'm not sure whether to put this in the SELECT statement part or as a method... I would be most grateful for any advice!
Many thanks,
Chima

I have the following database structure:
The table aspnet_users, which we all know
Another table with an uniqueidentifier which references the user iD
I want to set the value of the iD in one of the entries in the second table to null.
I tried this:
string assigned is null, i am passing this as a method parameter
...............
string queryString = "UPDATE [table2] SET AssignedUserId=@assigned WHERE ProblemId = @id";
System.Data.IDbCommand dbCommand = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand();
...................
System.Data.IDataParameter dbParam_au_pr = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter();
dbParam_au_pr.ParameterName = "@assigned";
if (assigned == null)
{
dbParam_au_pr.Value = null;
}
else
{
dbParam_au_pr.Value = assigned;
}
dbParam_au_pr.DbType = System.Data.DbType.String ;
dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_au_pr);
I also tried using "" instead of null, or not using that "if" statement at all.
I get an error that says:
Parameterized Query '(@id nvarchar(1),@assigned
nvarchar(4000))UPDATE [tracker_Probl' expects parameter @assigned,
which was not supplied.
Please help with this as soon as possible.Thanks

Hello everyone,
I am using DTS to transform data from foxpro.when it meets the date of NULL,it fails and says"Insert Error , column 4( 'Coloumn_name ',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6 data overflow ".
And then i try to open the DTS Transform Data task and do a preview of the data from the 'Source' side.The Null values are treated as "1899-12-30".
After reading something ,i try to write an ActiveX scripting Task to solve this problem using the function of "IsDate()",but it fails with exceptions.
Now I don't know what to do.could anyone give me some suggestion?Anything will be appreciated!ThankX in advance!

I added a new field to an existing ETL process which uses SSIS to ingest a CSV file. The new field in the file, Call_Transaction_ID, will not always be populated for every record and so can be NULL or empty for certain records.
Here's the problem:After the file is extracted into a staging table, the Call_Transaction_ID field is showing blank or empty when it has no ID for that particular record. The problem is when I try to then ETL this data into a fact table - I'm trying to set the Call_Transaction_ID field to -1 if it is NULL or empty, however SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty even though there is no value in the field so -1 will NEVER return.
Using a WHERE DATALENGTH(Call_Transaction_ID) = 0 returns 0 records, again because SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty or NULL.
What do I do now to get around this? How do I fix it?

But this works if the field contains only NULL values.
If it has a value, then it shows as #Error
Can anyone tell me how to make this work?

Hi, I have the following query

AND LOGIN.LOCALIDADE <> PABX.LOCALIDADE
AND PABX.CLASSIFICA IS NULL
AND PABX.LOCALIDADE <> AUXILIAR.DESTINO
AND (BLOQUEADO = 0 OR BLOQUEADO IS NULL)
But It has a problem because when AUXILIAR.DESTINO returns null (it means there is no registry) the condition AND PABX.LOCALIDADE <> AUXILIAR.DESTINO doesn't work, like 'SAO PAULO' is different from 'NULL' but for my query no it's not even equal, and this condition ommit the results....how can I solve it ?
PS: Both auxiliar.destino and pabx.localidade is varchar(255)
Thanks
