Why is it that when I include a column from my SQL Server database table, which has it's Allow Nulls checked, in the data source of a control that the record becomes not update-able? How do I get around this?
View 1 RepliesWhen I include a field from my SQL Server database, which has it's Allow Nulls value checked, in the data source of any type of control with it's Enable Editing property check, I then can not edit the record! If I remove the Allow Nulls field I can then edit it! What am I missing here?

I have this sql which calculates the total
MY TABLE IS:
A B C
100 5 3
100 0 5
20 0 0
sql is
A - B + C as total
the result is it gives me only the total of the first row since it has values on the on the B AND C
the result is
A B C total
100 5 3 98
100 0 5
20 0 0
with no result for the last two rows.. I want to give a condition that if the value is zero or null go to the next...
thanks for any help
Basically I need to get the SUM of the sum of three columns and all three columns have nulls. To make it more complicated, the result set must return the top 20 in order desc as well.
I keep facing different issues whether I try and use Coalesce, IsNull, Sum, count, anything. My query never returns anything but 0 or NULL regardless of if I am trying to build a CTE or just use a query.
So I'm using Col A to get the TOP 20 in order (which is fine) but also trying to add together the sums of Col A + Col B + Col C for each of the twenty rows...
Does including non-key columns work for the performance of an index?

Here's a question I though would be common but can't find an answer to!
My select statement, which pulls from SQL Server tables, has a column which allows nulls. When I try to add a parameter to this column, it no longer returns rows that have null in that column when I test it with the default value of %. I want it to return all the records.
SELECT Jobs.JobID, Jobs.JobName, Engineers.Engineer FROM Jobs LEFT OUTER JOIN Engineers ON Jobs.AccountManager = Engineers.ID WHERE (Engineers.Engineer = @Engineer)
Parameter is;ConvertEmptyStringToNull = TrueDefaultValue = %Direction = InputName = EngineerQueryStringField = EngineerSize = 0Type = Empty
When I run this I get no records! Isn't % suppose to return anything including nulls?
Hi Guys.
I have a problem. I have two feilds in a table. Both of them are (int). I want to be able make sure the same number is not put in both columns for each row. Both colums have to be a different number, and also if one is null, the other cannot be. How do I go about enforcing this policy?
For Example:
This is what I want
ID Column1 Column2
--- -------- ---------
1 5 8
2 5 7
3 null 10
4 6 2
This is what I DO NOT want:
ID Column1 Column2
--- -------- ---------
1 5 5
2 5 5
3 7 7
4 null null
I created a unique constraint between the 2 columns, but it still allows dups within the row. Please help me.
Hi,
I have an SSIS Package. I am using script component to loop through input columns and their values. I am not able to do Null checking. The code is as below. In place of dashes , I want to do null checking but am not able to do. I tried vbNull, IsNull, TypeOf, System.dbNull but nothing is working. I guess am missing something here. Can anyone help me with this.
For Each column In Me.ComponentMetaData.InputCollection(0).InputColumnCollection
columnValue = rowType.GetProperty(column.Name)
If Not --------------- Then
RowData += ((FormatElement(column.Name) + ReplaceSpecialChars(columnValue.GetValue(Row, Nothing).ToString()) + FormatElement(column.Name, True)))
End If
Next
Thanks in Advance.
Hi there,
I'm trying to unpivot a table in SSIS: The pivoted table basically looks like
ID DATE1 TEXT1 DATE2 TEXT2
----------------------------------
ID1 D1 T1 D2 T2
...
The unpivoted result looks like
ID DATE TEXT
-------------------
ID1 D1 T1
ID1 D2 T2
€¦
It works, but the one problem I am facing is: If D1 IS NULL in the pivoted table then D1 in the unpivoted table contains some strange value that is neither NULL nor a valid datetime. In a data viewer I get the in the DATE field "Fehler: Die Parameter Year, Month and Day beschreiben eine nicht darstellbare Datetime." (i. e. "Error: The parameters Year, Month and Day form an invalid datetime."). The loading of the OLE DB target yields an error because the DATE value cannot be converted to a valid datetime.
Anybody having a solution to this?
I am running into an issue when adding data from multiple columns intoone alias:P.ADDR1 + ' - ' + P.CITY + ',' + ' ' + P.STATE AS LOCATIONIf one of the 3 values is blank, the value LOCATION becomes NULL. Howcan I inlcude any of the 3 values without LOCATION becoming NULL?Example, if ADDR1 and CITY have values but STATE is blank, I get aNULL statement for LOCATION. I still want it to show ADDR1 and CITYeven if STATE is blank.Thanks

Hi All,
Here's my situation: I need to move several application db's to a new server. The current server is SQL 7.0 SP2, the new server will be SQL 7.0 SP3.
In order to avoid having the problems of mismatched logins and db user definitions, I'd like to restore the current master over the master that's created at install on the new server.
I was doing some testing of this by trying to restore the 7.0 SP2 master onto a SQL 7.0 DE edition and had some problems. (Obviously, this is not the exact scenario that I need to take place -- I want to restore standard edition to standard edition.)
Is restoring the master db from different service packs under 7.0 going to pose a problem? Is restoring the master db the best way to get around the logins issue when moving db's?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
is there an elegant way to use one equals sign in a where clause that returns true when both arguments are null, and returns true when neither is null but both are equal and returns false when only one is null?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an MSI-based install that installs a suite of applications. One of the applications requires SQL Server 2005 Express to be installed or already on the machine, but if the user doesn't want that app installed, I don't want to have to bother with the SQL Server issue; however, if that app is to be installed and SQL Server is not already installed, I want to be able to have it installed automatically during our install in order to make it easier for our end users. The obvious answer to this is to launch the SQL Server Express install as a nested MSI install at the appropriate point in our install. Since the SQL Server install is so complex, I was wondering if this would work if I were to launch the SQL Server install's setup.exe; or do I have to launch one of its dozen MSI files? If it's the latter, which one should my install launch? (Or is the SQL Server Express install simply too complex to be included in my install in this way? My plan is to have the SQL Server install sitting somewhere on our install CD - we've already obtained a redistribution licence - and have our install access it from there.) And will SQL Server Express appear as a separate entry in the Add/Remove Programs applet if it's installed this way? (I'd like to be able to leave SQL Server in place when uninstalling our application suite - or even just the one app that needs it - and allow SQL Server to be uninstalled separately if the user wishes.)

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat im looking to do is put a checkbox on my page and if the box is checked have it add a where clause to the sql statement.
The most i have seen with selectparameters is for it to basically take the value of the given control (or whatever) and dump it in to a query.
In this case what i would like to do is if the box is not checked it has my basic query run Select * from Table
and if the box is checked i would like it to run Select * from table where status='completed'
basically a check box that shows only completed items.
wasnt sure if i could do this with just the sqldatasource control and some selectparameters or if i had to write some code.
Thanks

So any help? I tried the stuff in the FAQ
View 3 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.
I am trying to import data from 4 columns in a spreadsheet, the Columns are (Last Name - First Name - ID - Code) and this spreadsheet has around 10k records. I want to add what is in this spreadsheet to the query I have below that uses the EXCEPT operator but I am not sure the best way to go about it.
Using the example I have filtered below for the name "Denise Test", at the end of the day I want everything that is in the spreadsheet to also be excluded from the results.
So before the spreadsheet lets say the 2nd query referencing table C has the following results for Denise Test
Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
After adding the spreadsheet I want it to show this:
Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
Test Denise 3 3
Here is the query as it stands now without the inclusion of the spreadsheet:

tb.ID,
tb.code

Hi, i was wondering how to store text including paragraphs, bulletpoints, etc, in SQL server 2005. Such as the posts in this forum.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is a lot of documention concerning data(base) backups, but I could not find information about how to backup a complete SQL Server instance (data + configuration) or the SQL server configuration (= everything, that is not user payload). you always re-configure your system after restoring, especially because you will forget some settings?I found following things necessary to backup configuration:
server-wide:
security: login, roles, ...
server objectsserver properties (e.g. collation, connection or memory settings; see SSMS "Server - Properties")
per database
database settings (SSMS - database - properties)scheme
1. Is there anything missing?In case of a severe system crash I would like to be able to recover the system using a full system image of the virtual machine. However I just create these images after significant changes (e.g. Windows service pack).The SQL server should be backuped independently from these system images.
2. Even if I used SQL Server maintenance plan, choose "backup all databases" and additionally backup resources DB manually I think, that some configuration is still missing, right? Where are the security configuration and server properties saved? In my system database there are some tables, but there is very little content inside, so that the data from the views INFORMATION_SCHEMA* and sys.* obviously is not saved there.SQL Server system objects, such as sys.objects, are physically persisted in theResource database, but they logically appear in the sys schema of every database. URL....What does that mean: Are all DB/table schemes, logins, ... saved in resource DB?
3. Does a usual SQL Server full database backup also contain all settings concerning this database (database properties, logins, ...)?
4. Is there at least a way to backup ONLY the configuration (server-wide and database) without data? The only tool I could find is DACPAC, that exports a database's scheme and some other configuration, but e.g. the database properties are not included: By default, the database created during the deployment will have the default settings from the CREATE DATABASE statement. The exception is that the database collation and compatibility level are set to the values from the source database. URL..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table of magazine issues. The table are defined as below:

And here is what I want. Is there a way when inserting/updating or on the table itself to make sure that there is only one record that is marked as the current issue? The way I have it here in my table, any records can have the current issue (crntIssue) field checked. I only want one crntIssue field checked regardless of how many records or issues are in the table. If there is no way to automatically have SQL Server to manage that then that means I must check all the records before hand before the update/insert query, correct?
