I have a table with 3 fields. when I type
select * from test -- I am getting the results as below.
NAME AGE DEPT

Thanks in advance

I have three different columns as email1,email2 , email3.I am concatinating these columns into one i.e EMail like
select ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email1, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email2, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email3, N'') AS Email from tablename.
One eg of the output of the above query when email2,email3 are having null values in the table is :
jacky_foo@mfa.gov.sg;;
means it is inserting semicoluns whenever there is a null value in the particular column. I want to remove this extra semicolumn whenever there is null value in the column.
Please let me know how can i do this

Hello,
I'm facing a problem in my reporting.
I have a Customer table where is record various events like CustomerEventId, DateTime, StatusId, StatusTime, GroupId, ...
I also have a status table (Id, Description) and a group table (Id, Description).
I want to create a report where for a selected date range (From ... To ...) i can see (grouped by date) all status's the customer
went in. The possible status are :
Id Description
-------------------------------------
1 status 1
2 status 2
3 status 3
4 status 4
My query looks something like this :
SELECT CustomerEventId, DateTime, CONVERT(varchar, DateTime), 103) AS DATEVAL, StatusId,
status.description as StatusDescription, StatusTime, GroupId, group.Description as GroupDescription
From Customers inner join status on customers.StatusId = status.id
inner join group on customers.GroupId = group.id
Group By CustomerEventId, DateTime, StatusId, status.description, StatusTime, GroupId, group.Description
My reports has 3 parameters (From date, To date, Group)
In my report i have a table with two groups : GroupByDate (grouped on DATEVAL) and GroupByStatus
now my problem : let's say i have values for statusid 1,2 and 4
then my report will only display those 3 status.
How can i display the status where there is no data for :
now it shows :
DATEVAL Occurrences Time
01/07/2007
Status 1 15 125
Status 2 25 366
Status 4 8 66
I would like it to show:
DATEVAL Occurrences Time
01/07/2007
Status 1 15 125
Status 2 25 366
Status 3 0 0
Status 4 8 66

Hi,
I have the following problem.
I have created different tables in my database with descriptions in from other tables (example : a table named errors with errorid and errordescription as fields in it)
In a report i want to display the total nr of errors during a certain period for a certain department.
i have created that report with a list (by department). in this list i have a table where i group my errors.
until here all ok. when i display my report it shows all the errors.
but what it doesn't show is all the errors who have value 0 (or errors that didn't occur during that period i defined)
how can i display all my errors, even if they did not occur (0 times)
Greetings

How do I define a field to have the default value = ''. Not NULL but not a space either in SQL Server 2005?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a table in which there is a column called 'Forecast' of type 'int', that is null for about 25% of the rows in this table.
Will null value for this column consume storage bytes?
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?
I have a report I'm writing and have got a problem that has stumped me.
The data the report is based in is in this format:
Date Type
1/1/08 A
1/3/08 B
3/1/08 C
3/5/08 B
3/10/08 A
3/12/08 C
3/20/08 A
Management wants a report showing a line chart that summarizes the data by Month and by Type. So, there are 2 series depending on the Type and data values are based on the count of each Type. So, in the example above the x-axis group would be month, the values would be count(Type) and there would be 2 series €“ Series 1. A, B and Series 2. C
I€™ve defined the x-axis to be Month(Fields!DateOccured.Value). However, they want the x-axis to show every month for the entire year not just what is in the database. So, I defined the x-axis to have a scale of 1 to 12 and the major interval is set to 1. This displays 1 through 12 on the x-axis.
The problem is when there is no data (null) for a particular month. Instead of showing 0, the line chart does not plot anything and the line is drawn to the next displayed point. So, for example on the data above the line chart would plot:
January
Series 1 €“ Qty. 2 Series 2 €“ Qty. 0
February
Null
March
Series 1 €“ Qty. 3 Series 2 €“ Qty. 2
The line chart would draw a line from January to March skipping February. I need to display the null values as 0 and not null indicating no occurrences for the month rather than no data present.
Thanks!

HI all, I am using xp_sendmail to select from a temporary table some data that wants to get out to the real world from the database.
The select is easy, as it just involves a simple select of a varchar(1200) from a temporary table.
What I'm seeing though (WITHOUT the assistance of Mr. Cuervo in this instance ;) ) is that in the email message, even if my varchar only has 20 characters in it, that the select in the email is padded with blanks out to what appears to be the full 1200 byte maximum in the varchar (for each row inserted into the email).
I have used "RTRIM(myvarchar)" both during writing to the temp table, and in the xp_sendmail select variable, and STILL get the blanks on the end.
Anybody know any easy way to drop my extra padding on my varchar when it's added to the email (embedded in the actual email).
Tanks!
hi
i have a database that has multiple records under the same id (each time a record is updated, it's assigned a date_value), i'm wanting one row to be generated using the data from the most recent date_value field.
a sample of the database looks something like this:
ID date_value data1 24 march info11 25 march info2
my statement looks like this:select max(date_value), data from table_name where data is not null group by id
this seems to bring up the following error for all the fields not in the group by part of the code:Column 'COLUMN_NAME' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
what am i doing wrong?
TIA!
In a system holding data from questionnaires, I have two defined tables: one holding info on the respondent (r) and the other holding answer data (ad)
The layout of the respondent table:
r_idint
weekint
The layout of the answer data table:
ad_id int
r_idint
qvarchar(10)
a_valint
a_text varchar(50)
Each row in the ad table matches data for one question on the questionnaire.
Lets say a
<sql>
select *
from respondent r, answer_data ad
where r.r_id = ad.r_id
</sql>
returns the following data:
<result>
r_id, week, ad_id, r_id, q, a_val, a_text
1, 40, 1, 1, '1', 1, 'Destination 1'
1, 40, 2, 1, '2', 1, 'Bad'
1, 40, 3, 1, '3', 3, 'Good'
2, 40, 4, 2, '1', 2, 'Destination 2'
2, 40, 5, 2, '2', 2, 'Acceptable'
2, 40, 6, 2, '3', 4, 'Excellent'
3, 41, 7, 3, '1', 1, 'Destination 1'
3, 41, 8, 3, '2', 4, 'Excellent'
3, 41, 9, 3, '3', 4, 'Excellent'
</result>
Extracting the mean value of answers by week is easily done using the following select:
<sql>
select week, q, avg(cast(a_val as float)) mean
from respondent r, answer_data ad
where r.r_id = ad.r_id
and q > '1'
group by q, week
order by q, week
</sql>
This would give a result like:
<result>
week, q, mean
40, '2', 1.5
40, '3', 4.0
41, '2', 3.5
41, '3', 4.0
</result>
Now the tricky part - a result by destination (ad.q = '1') has been requested by the customer.
Doing a
<sql>
select q, avg(cast(a_val as float)) mean
from respondent r, answer_data ad
where r.r_id = ad.r_id
and q > '1'
and r.r_id in (
select r.r_id
from respondent r, answer_data ad
where r.r_id = ad.r_id and q = '1'
)
group by q
order by q
</sql>
returns the requested data:
<result>
q, mean
'2', 2.3333333333333335
'3', 3.6666666666666665
</result>
Only, it lacks info on the destination. What I need is something like this:
<result>
dest, q, mean
'Destination 1', '2', 2.5
'Destination 1', '3', 3.5
'Destination 2', '2', 2.0
'Destination 2', '3', 4.0
</result>
How can I achieve that?
Thanks,

Hi,I have a query like this :SELECTx1,x2,( SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...UNIONSELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...) as x3FROM ...WHERE ...The problem is that I don't want to return the results where x3 isNULL.Writing :SELECTx1,x2,( SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...UNIONSELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...) as x3FROM ...WHERE ... AND x3 IS NOT NULLdoesn't work.The only solution I found is to write :SELECT * FROM((SELECTx1,x2,( SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...UNIONSELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...) as x3FROM ...WHERE ...) AS R1)WHERE R1.x3 IS NOT NULLIs there a better solution? Can I use an EXISTS clause somewhere totest if x3 is null without having to have a 3rd SELECT statement?There's probably a very simple solution to do this, but I didn't findit.Thanks
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've created a Stored Procedure which performs a Select against my table, and displays the rows returned via these stmts -
@RowCount int Output
SELECT @rowcount = @@RowCount
This Works fine when Executed from SQL Server, but when trying to invoke the SP from my ASP page it complains that the SP expects parameter '@RowCount' which was not supplied.
I don't need to supply it when invoking the SP directly, why do I need to supply it from ASP?
I tried defining it as NULL within my SP, but can't seem to get it to accept both the NULL & Output parms.
And while I'm at it, how do I get my ASP page to display this @RowCount value?

Dear All
I am trying to populate an OledbDatareader for binding to a ASP datagrid.
For this I use select statement to display combined fields in a datagrid cell.
Eg. Select (Field1+ '<br/>' + Field2 + '<br/>' + Field 3) As Address .. and so on.
But the problem is if any of the three field is null the combined field 'Address' returns as Null.
Please help me to overcome this problem.

I have built an Advanced Search page which allows users to select which columns to return (via checkbox) and to enter search criteria for any of the selected columns (into textboxes). I build the SQL statement from the properties of the controls. Works great.
My problem is getting my gridview control to play nicely. At first I used a SqlDataReader and bound the gridview to it, thus giving me the ability to run new SQL statements through it (with different columns each time). Worked nicely. But, per Microsoft, sorting can only be done if the gridview is bound to a datasource control like the SqlDataSource. So I wrote the code to handle sorting. No big deal; worked nicely. But I could not adjust the column widths programmatically unless bound to a datasource control like the SqlDataSource. And could not figure out a work around.
So, I decided to use the SqlDataSource. Works great. Except, I cannot figure out how to run a new SELECT statement through the SQLDataSource and have the gridview respond accordingly. If I try to return anything other than the exact same columns defined declaratively in the html, it pukes. But I need to be able to return a new selection of columns each time. For example, first time through the user selects columns 1,2,3,4 – the gridview should show those 4 columns. The second time the user selects columns 2,5,7 – the gridview should those 3 columns (and ONLY those 3 columns). Plus support selection and sorting.
I am desperate on this. I've burned 2.5 days researching and testing. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brad

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out a way to toggle the visibility of attribute data based on a parameter. Specifically, I have a report that has many columns that an end-user may not want to see, depending on what they are using the report for. I know you can toggle visibilities on individual columns easily enough, however I want the user to be able to select which fields (at the attribute level) they want visible on the report up in the parameters, via a multi-value prompt.
Is this possible with reporting services 2005?
