How To Retrieve Only Entries With Date = NULL From The DB
Jan 9, 2008
I am trying to write a Stored proc to retrieve only records from my table tat do not have a DateTime value ie DateTime is NULL and for some reason simply adding a DateRemoved = NULL does not work. Can anyone please help me with solution to this issue please??? Thanks in Advance
I work for an organization that repairs serialized devices. Each time a device is repaired it's serial number is recorded in a database table along with the date it was repaired along with other information about the device. There are multiple cases where a unit has been repaired more than once.
I am trying to write a query that will return the serial only once and that record will be the record of the latest repair date. To sum it up,
Return a list of serials where if a serial exists more than once in the table, return only the instance of the serial record(s) with the max(created_dt). The end result will be a list of distinct serial numbers.
Here is my Query. The problem I believe is in my sub-query but I am not sure how to structure it.
In the database I am querying, there is a field called "group". I can find out when "group" changes with a time field that was logged whenever group changes. I am trying to find what the value was changed into.
Code: SELECT Assignment_Log.DBID, Assignment_Log.Assigned_Group, Assignment_Log.Submit_Date FROM Assignment_Log
This will tell me:
The unique ID of the database The group it was assigned FROM The time the assignment took place
I need to find the assignment TO
so what I need to do for the last column is something along the lines of...
Find the next record after the current record by looking at the next Submit_Date and view the Assigned_Group.
If no "next record" can be found, leave the cell empty.
the last years I solved tons of "problems" with plain SQL, but I think this one will require some programming... a stored procedure, a vb, I don't know ...
Here is the point: I'm trying to build a simple OLAP-cube out of personal data. I get table_person with number, name, birthdate, and so on. I get table_costcenter with costcenternumber and description and I get a table_person_costcenter with the following structure:
person-number, costcenter, FROM-Date (and some other data, e.g. workinghours per week(this and headcount are the measures in the cube))
so... Person 1 is on costcenter CC01 FROM-Date: 01.01.1998 person changed next year 1 CC02 FROM-Date: 01.01.1999 ... 2 CC02 01.05.1999 2 CC03 01.01.2000 and so on....
I can think of loops reading the hole table (roundabout 2000 records), than the one, two or more records with the person-number 1 and so on and fill in the missing Dates (every first of a month) BETWEEN the first FROM-Date to the next FROM-Date and so on till the last record with personnumber X which will lead to CURRENT DATE.... but I never programmed in MS SQL. :-(
So every code examples are heartly wellcome...
many thanks in advance
Michael PS: The result-table should look like this person costcenter date 1 CC01 01.01.1998 january 1 CC01 01.02.1998 feb 1 CC01 01.03.1998 march .. 1 CC02 01.01.1999 1 CC02 01.02.1998 .. when no other connections "1" to costcenter ... 1 CC02 01.02.2004 (current month)
I currently have a stored procedure that selects sales entries from a table and inserts them into a temp table. To execute this procedure you must enter the store number and the dates required.
What I am looking to do is run this procedure daily for one store daily to load the previous days sales into the temp table.
I need help to build a query that shows me how many columns inside a range on columns are null. Example: quantity1;quantity2;quantity3;quantity4;quantity5; quantity6;quantity7;
my configuration file provides parameters that are used for an SQL query in my package. However, for these parameters it must be possible to pass NULL to the query.
This seems to be impossible in SSIS..? If the config file provides no value, the package uses a default value - and this default value can not be null.
If I wanted to search for Jobs as a particular status (e.g. 0130) and wanted to keep the jobs at this status until it has reached 0500, 0125, or 0900 in it's subsequent status log entry, how can I write the SQL for it to achieve it?
I have the following SQL which searches for the Jobs at 0130, but don't know how to develop it further to search on the requirement above.
------ SQL ------- SELECT job.job_number, (SELECT MAX(jsl.job_log_number) FROM job_status_log jsl WHERE job.job_number = jsl.job_number AND jsl.status_code = '0130') as Last_Early_Warning_Status_Entry
[code].....
In the job_status_log table above, there is a job_log_number field which increments by 1 when there is a new status log entry.

Below is the query in which i want to retrieve another column (exchange rate) from a particular date for the sub query.
Actually PurchaseOrderDet table get records related to purchaseorder but for each row in purchaseorderdet need info from the same table for all rows on a particular date.
how i can achieve this query without using RANK() and other functions.
"SELECT Supplier.Uniid AS SupplierID, Supplier.Name, PurchaseOrder.Uniid AS PurchaseID, PurchaseOrder.OrderNo, PurchaseOrder.FormDate, StockItem.Uniid AS StockID, StockItem.StockCode + N' - ' + StockItem.Description1 AS StockItem, PurchaseOrderDet.ExchangeRate, PurchaseOrderDet.UnitPrice, PurchaseOrderDet.Discount, SUM(PurchaseOrderDet.OrderQty) AS SumOfOrderQty,
I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database. I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields. It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table. In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters. The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%') If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null> My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>. For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
I have a table that has a date field that can't be null. When a new record is created, if a date is not passed in, I want the default to be the current date. How can I set that? I tried Now, Today, GetDate, etc. Diane
I have a problem with a SQL that check if a date column IS NULL. On one server the check work ok but on another (the same data is on both - restored copy) the check does not find any NULL values. If check where datecolumn =convert(datetime,'9999-12-31 23:59:59.000',121) I get the same result as when checking for NULL in the other.
Is there any parameter set somewhere that tell the server to return a value even if NULL is stored in the database?
I have 3 dates one of them could be NULL . I do not want my min to display it as NULL.Below is my script. Is there a way I could do it?
select Order_id, customer_id, date_1, date_2, date_3 into #temp1 from ##Temp_dates (nolock) Select Case when (date_1 < date_2 and date_1< date_3) then date_1 when (date_2< date_1 and date_2< date_3) then date_2
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.
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'
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
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 select 20, '2006-12-23', NULL, 3, '2007-1-9' union all select 30, '2006-12-23', NULL, 1, '2007-1-14' union all select 40, '2007-1-15', '2007-3-4', 1, '2007-1-23' union all select 40, '2007-1-15', '2007-3-4', 2, '2007-3-2'

I would like some suggestions on how to keep from displaying the value "1/1/1900" on my asp pages when my recordset field returns a Sql date value that is null
I know I am missing something basic, here. I have a date field in a table. The field is 'allowed Nulls'. When a certain thing happens in the program, the date is filled in. At various times, I need to do a query to find all the rows that have no dates entered.
What do I use in my where clause? SQL server does not like 'where date = null.'
I have a SQL Server View. The problem is that the DateTime field has many Null values which is causing a problem with my parsing of the data in MSAccess.
How would I use CAST (or CONVERT) to handle Null Date values in my SQL Server view?
I remember there was a way to use CAST or CONVERT similar to the nz type function in MSAccess to handle null date values but I can't remember the syntax. What is happening now is that I get a data mismatch in my MSAccess function when it hits a Null Date value. Can I somehow use the ISNULL or ISDate function? I believe I need to somehow return "" instead of Null.
I'm trying to construct code that will return the last non-NULL value in a column containing daily records.
For E.G. I want to know what the LAST value of Description field when it is not NULL, AND the Date is within the range t=1 to t=5 => i.e. "Dog" in the below example:
Hi, I created a function class in "Script Components" to convert an Integer to a Date data type. It works good except that it converts NULL value to the date 1988-12-31; but I want to return NULL when the value is NULL. Any idea on this?
Here is my function:
Public Class ScriptMain Inherits UserComponent
Private Function ConvertToDate(ByVal dateIn As Double) As Date Dim DateStr as String ........... ........... If DateStr Is Nothing Then Return Nothing Else Return CDate(DateStr) End If End Function
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer) Row.ReportDte = ConvertToDate(Row.RPRTDT) End Sub End Class
How do I order a query by a date field ASC, but have any NULL valuesshow up last? i.e.7/1/20037/5/20037/10/2003<NULL><NULL>Any help will greatly be appreciated
