IF Statment Using ISNULL Function
Aug 27, 2007
What is wrong with this code. I can not get ISNULL function to work
IF ISNULL([JRL_Req].[MDN])
UPDATE JRL_Req
SET [JRL_Req].[Product Code] = [OrderItem].[ProductCode]
FROM JRL_Req
INNER JOIN [order]
ON [JRL_Req].[Order ID]= [order].[OrderId]
INNER JOIN [OrderItem]
ON [order].[OrderId] = [OrderItem].[OrderId]
ELSE
UPDATE JRL_Req
SET [JRL_Req].[Product Code] = [OrderItem].[ProductCode]
FROM JRL_Req
INNER JOIN [order]
ON [JRL_Req].[Order ID]= [order].[OrderId]
INNER JOIN [OrderItem]
ON [order].[OrderId] = [OrderItem].[OrderId] AND [OrderItem].[MDN] = [JRL_Req].[MDN]
END IF

Hey, I'm taking an intro SQL Server class, and I have a pretty simple homework assignment. We were provided with a DB and asked to write several SELECT statements. However, I'm stuck up one of the questions. Here is the question: 12.Create a SELECT statement that displays all employees and their Qualifications. Display that individuals with no Qualifications as having ‘NoQual’. Hint: Use a function to determine this ‘empty’ field using ISNULL.
Here is what I have:
SELECT
FNAME + ' ' + LNAME AS 'Employee Name', ISNULL(QUALID, 'NoQual') AS 'Qualifications'
FROM
EMPLOYEE, QUALIFICATION
WHERE
EMPLOYEE.QUALID = QUALIFICATION.QUALID;
However, I do not get any results that have a NULL value in the QUALID column. Here is the code for the DB:

I'm constructing a single string of several counts with concatenated labels using SQL and want to not show zeros (or their labels). Is there a function within an SQL statement that will let me do this? ISNULL() sort of does this, but I really need to test for zero instead of NULL to eliminate noise data from the string.

Hi,
I created a new column in Derived column editor wich depends on two columns that I'm evaluation.
This is my function for the new column:
(COLUMN1 == "Hello") || ISNULL(COLUMN1) ? COLUMN2 : COLUMN3
The problem is that when a NULL data comes for COLUMN1, it doesn't insert the value of COLUMN2 as the formula estipulates. It looks like is not understanding de ISNULL function.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hello all,
I have a problem that some of the data I reciave from the DB is null.
I would like to replace it with '0'.
I used the function IsNull on the SQL statment.
The problem is that I recaived a false/true values..
Is there an option to get the real data?
this is the SQL:
SELECT OrderDetails.itemID, OrderDetails.itemName, OrderDetails.quantityToPick, OrderDetails.quantityPicked, OrderDetails.colorDescription,
OrderDetails.colorDetails, OrderDetails.bases, OrderDetails.diameter, OrderDetails.axis, OrderDetails.referenceNum, OrderDetails.remarks,
Isnull(Stock.stockQuantity, 0) AS stockQuantity, OrderDetails.quantityOrdered, OrderDetails.status
FROM OrderDetails LEFT OUTER JOIN

I create a stored procedure like such:
"create procedure tmptable_query (@lname varchar(20)) as select * from #temp_table where lname like ISNULL(@lname+'%',lname)"
Unfortunately, it only returns exact matches, as if it were written as "where lname = ISNULL(@lname, lname)"
However, if I query from a static table the code works correctly.Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Thank you.

I have two tables, tblMTO and tblIMPORT_MTO. If I import an entire MTOinto the import table I want to create a delta from it (i.e. leave onlythe changed items). I have a view (simplified)SELECT dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.ImportID, dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo,dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.Rev AS New_Rev, dbo.tblMTO.Rev AS Old_RevFROM dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.tblMTO ON dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo = dbo.tblMTO.MTONoNow to get all rows where old_rev = new_rev I also want all rows whereboth are null, is the best method to put ISNULL() in the view or toselect from the view using ISNULL in the criteria, e.g.select * from view1 where ISNULL(Old_Rev,0)=ISNULL(new_rev,0)or in the viewCREATE VIEW view1 asSELECT dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.ImportID, dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo,ISNULL(dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.Rev,0) AS New_Rev, ISNULL(dbo.tblMTO.Rev ASOld_Rev,0)FROM dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.tblMTO ON dbo.tblIMPORT_MTO.MTONo = dbo.tblMTO.MTONo;select * from view1 where Old_Rev=new_rev;

I've seen lots of entries recommending the use of ISNULL in SQL WHERE clauses, e.g. in a search sproc where users can enter some or all parameters to search a table. Previously I would have used something like:SELECT * FROM MyTableWHERE (FName = @fname OR @fname IS NULL) AND(MName = @mname OR @mname IS NULL) AND(LName = @lname OR @lname IS NULL)So using the neat ISNULL syntax it could be updated to:SELECT * FROM MyTableWHERE (FName = ISNULL(@fname, FName)) AND(MName = ISNULL(@mname, MName)) AND(LName = ISNULL(@lname, LName))Having played around with this I stumbled upon a problem. If one of the fields, e.g. MName, is NULL then that clause will return false since MName = NULL isn't true and you have to use MName IS NULL. Did I miss all the caveats with using ISNULL in this way on fields that can contain NULL or have I missed something else?

I've got this query and it use to work or at least I thought it did. Could someone please help me with it.
Thank you
SELECT CID, CompletionDate, MarkedExport, CustomerName, EditUser, RouteID, WorkOrder FROM RouteCustomer WHERE (CompletionDate IS NOT NULL) AND (ExportDate IS NULL) AND (RouteID LIKE '%' + ISNULL(RouteID,@RouteID) + '%') AND (EditUser IS NULL OR EditUser = '' OR EditUser = @EmployeeID) AND (MONTH(CompletionDate) = ISNULL(MONTH(CompletionDate),@Month))
The problem comes with in the WHERE clause. What I wanted it to do is if the user did want to use a RouteID critera then the user would speified one else it wouldn't, and it was my belief that the ISNULL feature in SQL was the answer for that. same for the Month. I believe the EditUser is fine the way it is written.
thanks to anyone that can help me with this.

To give you a little background, there is a CRM system with SQL server as its back-end. The CRM uses a view in SQL Server to list all the communications a user has had with his client over any given interval of time. Now there is a requirement to add a new column in the view that tells a user if the communication was filed in automatically or if it happened overnight via an automated archive manager process. I have achieved this using an expression field which is based on the comm_url field in the communications table in database.
example:
create view vCommunications
as
select col1, col2,...,case when comm_url is null then 'Manually filed' else 'Automatically Filed' as Filing
from Communications
alternatively, this can also be achieved by the following:
create view vCommunications
as
select col1, col2,...,isnull(comm_url, 'Manually Filed') as Filing
from Communications
Now my question is, given that there are many rows in the communications table, which of the above two expression fields will be more efficient in performance i.e. CASE versus ISNULL. I've checked a lot on google but I haven't been able to come up with a concrete answer.

I'm having a problem creating a isnull statement.
I want to do two things I want to list all of the accounts that have a null value in a numeric field. And I want to update those accounts to 0.00.
I tried:
select Account_Num, isnull(TotalDDMFEE, 0)
FROM Addr_20080402
But it returned all records
For the update I tried:
update Addr_20080402
CASE
when TotalDDMFEE = ' ' then TotalDDMFEE = 0.00
AND
update Addr_20080402
CASE
when TotalDDMFEE = isnull(TotalDDMFEE, 0) then TotalDDMFEE = 0.00
Any ideas how I should have written these two queries?
Thanx,

Hi!I'm wondering whether it's possible to set up the MS SQL functionISNULL() as a default value to avoid NULL entries when importing datainto a table?!For example, I want the column1, to have a 0 (zero) as default value,when entering/importing data: isnull("column1",0)I remember that it is possible to set up with a date function likenow(), having for each record the current time as default value. Isthat also with isnull() somehow possible?Thx a lot!Peter

isnull(startweight) = case startWeight when NULL then 0 else startWeight end ?
I have read some where that using function on column while selecting a bunch of data makes the query slower because the function needs to work on each row of the table..
SO I was just thinking like
is the value of above 2 would be same perfrmance wise and value wise ?
Which one will execute faster?

Hi All,
I want to accomplish something like this , I want to sum two of my columns and pass them as input into a third column, looks pretty simple but I think the way ISNULL is handled in SSIS is different from the way it is handled in TSQL.
Basically I wanna write an expression for the following TSQL
(ISNULL(Column1 , 0) + ISNULL(Column2 ,0)) as Column3
Thanks

I have a some currency fields that are sometimes null and I want to display them as '--' or something similar when they are such. I can do this with IIF statements, but I have a lot of them and would like a more manageable solution. I thought of the IsNull SQL Command, but the problem is that it won't let me insert char values into a currency field. Any other solutions? Thanks.
