In my database I have "null" for some values of the data and now I want to change that to zero '0' due to some requirement. So, Is there any function for that?? So that all the "null"s in the database are changed to '0's......
View 3 RepliesHi folks,I'm doing calculations based on data in a table, but the data has somezeros in the field I'm dividing by. I'm trying to write a script toreplace any field with 0 or null with 1, but it's not working. HEre'swhat I've got:Update A Set A.deptcode = A.deptcode,A.type = A.Type,A.Volume = (case A.VolumeWhen Null Then 1When 0 then 1Else A.VolumeEnd)From Data_Unsorted A Join Data_Unsorted B OnA.deptcode = B.deptcode and A.type = B.TypeMy table is data_unsorted and deptcode and type are my primary keysVolume is the item I want to put 1 if null or zero, and I'd thing theabove statement would work, but it doesn't. This table has 383 rows,and it says it updates 383 rows, but when I run the following query totest:select a.deptcode, a.type, a.volumefrom data_unsorted awhere a.AveMonthVolume = 0 or a.AveMonthVOlume is nullIt didn't work... still TONS of nulls and zero's. Is there a trick tothis???Thanks,Alex.

Is there a *simple* way to change a collumn from allowing null to notnull?I just unchecked "allow nulls" in EM and the SQL it generates to dothis one thing is astonishing, create table, drop FKs, copy data, droptable, rename new table, rebuild FKs...I'm saving a lot of these changes to run on another database at a laterdate but would rather not require a terrabyte device to store thescript :-)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.
The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.
The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.
So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).
I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.
Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?
From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.

Hi all,
I have a problem.
The SQL statement I have is like this
select * from table where (convert varchar(25),AMT) LIKE '%0%'
This causes all my data to appear instead of 1 only if I key 77 into the textbox because AMT is a currency type with 77.000.
So is there another way of solving this other than truncating off the zeroes?
If so feel free to assist me, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Folks,
I have a situation where I need to display an integer with leading zeros, with a defined length.
Example, 43 appears as 00043 when the length is 5 and 000043 when the length
is 6.
I tried using "=Format(Fields!DirID.Value.ToString)" with different variations to no avail.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

I am trying to create a field in SQL query builder that takes the input number 12345 and formats it 0000012345. In MSAccess there is a great Format() function which allowed this to be done easily, but I cant find an equivalent in SQLServer. Can anyone provide me with a new function and possibly a sample? Thanks in Advance,

I have an SSIS routine which uses a simple SQL select statement from a SQL Server 2005 database and then goes to a Flat File destination. The field (dischstatuscode) is a nvarchar(50) and it may contain data with leading zeros.
Code Snippet
Select DischStatusCode
from dbo.pm
...which returns:
01
23

Hi
I'm using DB2 Connect to access an IBM DB2 database, and I'm trying to import a table, having one VARCHAR field, containing multiple binary zeros, to SQL Server.
My problem is the VARCHAR type in SQL Server is defined as a null-terminated string of characters. So everytime I retrieve one of these values, it gets truncated (the first binary zero becames the end of the string).
I've tried using the TEXT data type, replacing the 0X00 character as part of the select , and using the native and .net OLE DB provider with no luck.
If anyone has faced the same problem before, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Going against a Sybase database using ODBC, the numeric data in the amount field (money)
drops all zero's to the right of a whole number when bringing it into MSQL 7. Example:
2,000.00 comes across as 2
2,001.00 comes across as 2,001.00
Has anyone a solution to this? What am I doing wrong? If I run a query against the SYBASE
database, everything looks fine. Once I bring it into SQL, I'm about 9,000,000 dollars off.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I am creating a view which involved concatenation of 2 int columns.
The data in the columns look like
Column 1 Column 2
1234 1
12345 11
I am trying to get the following output
001234001
012345011
So the first column should have zeros padded to the front to make 6 numbers, the second column should be 3 numbers long with zeros in front. So when added together it is 9 numbers long.
What is the best way to change an output of P0123 to 123? i.e. drop the letter 'P' and also any leading zeros. We have a report that outputs terminal ID's which range from P0001 through to P0536.
I can drop the 'P' easily enough, but how I can drop the P000 from terminal ID P0001 for example.
I'm using varchar as a datatype and my leading zeros are chopped-off once ther data reaches my Stored Proc. The table will allow me to store the values with leading zeros if I enter them manually, but I cannot insert them via ASP/StoredProc.
Any ideas would be awesome.
Hi All,
I need to set up a kind of identity insert that gives an output in the format: 00001, 00002, 00003 etc. Is there a formatting option for this sort of output using normal identity insert features or do I need to write a function to insert these values (perhaps as text) each time a new record is created?
Sorry if this is really simple but it's only my 4th day in this job!

I am reposting this from the VB IDE forum, becaue I received no response
Using VS05 SP1 Pro/SQL Express...
There are two tables, UserIDs and Recordings (which has a foreign key relating it back to UserIDs).
I created a Stored Procedure via Server Explorer that returns the user ID for a given Foreign Key in Recordings table. If the UserID is "0001", then "0001" is return (userIDs are stored as strings). The stored procedure works every time.
I then created a table adpater that uses the above stored procedure. The table adapter is used in code. It has always worked fine, but i have discovered if the user ID starts with 0, those zeros are trimmed by the table adapter .
For example:
UserID = Me.TableAdapter_Recordings.FillBy_StoredProceedure_Return_UserID(ForeignKey_Recordings_Table).ToString
should result in a userID of "0001", but instead results in "1", which, from a string view point, is incorrect. As strings, "0001" and "1" are totally different, and the "1" fails when you do a fill for the table UserIDs.
So, the Stored Procedure and the Table Adapter using the same Stored Procedure return different results, with the Table Adapter being wrong. Why is it trimming the zeros? Is there anyway to stop that so the results are correct?
Thanks!
