Inserting Nulls Into A Temp Table
Mar 3, 2008
I'm trying to insert any null values into a temp table. I'm storing the ixo_rlt_code as OldRole, and 'Other' as NewRole. I need both the ixo_rlt_code as OldRole and 'Other' as NewRole in the temp talbe in order to run an update I'm writing.
I know a case statement isn't necessary here, but this section is only one small part of a larger script, so I just used it to be consistent, and it will be easier to make any future changes this way. Below is my code and the error message I'm getting...
select
ixo_key,
ixo_title as Title,
ixo_rlt_code as OldRole,
CASEWHEN ixo_title is null
or ixo_title = ''
or ixo_title = ' '
or ixo_title = ' ' THEN 'Other'
END as NewRole
from
co_customer (nolock)
join co_individual_x_organization (nolock) on ixo_key = cst_ixo_key --and ixo_delete_flag = 0
where
cst_delete_flag = 0
and cst_type = 'Individual'
and ixo_rlt_code is null
This is the Error Message I get:
Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 1095
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'NewRole', table 'tempdb.dbo.#temp_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________00000001698C'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
Thanks ahead of time for any help/suggestions

Hi,I basically have two tables with the same structure. One is an archiveof the other (backup). I want to essentially insert the data in to theother.I use:INSERT INTO table ( column, column .... )SELECT * FROM table2Now, table2 has a rule on various columns:@CHARACTER IN ('Y','N')but the column allows nulls, in the design view is says so anyway.When I run this query I get:A column insert or update conflicts with a rule imposed by a previousCREATE RULE statement. The statement was terminated. The conflictoccurred in database 'database', table 'table', column 'column'.The statement has been terminated.Obviously, I've changed the names of everything.The only data in those columns which could possibly conflict with therule is the NULL value. Any ideas why this doesn't work?Thanks.

Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.
CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,
[Code] ....
Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below
DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2
[Code] ...
I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:
SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],
[Code] ....
If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.

I have an ASP page that opens a recordset on a stored procedure. I've had it
in production for over a year, and it usually works fine - subsecond
response. However, in the past couple weeks, the recordset open command has
intermittently started to return timeout errors. It's very strange: when the
timeout occurs, it can be dependably reproduced by opening the ASP page with
the same parameter that produced the initial timeout. However, if you pass a
different parameter to the procedure, it runs fine! It only times out when
using the specific parameter that produced the initial timeout.
Even stranger: If, when attempting to debug it, I use QA to run the sp with
the "defective" parameter, the sp invariably runs fine! And subsequent runs
of the ASP page start working as well!
I have repeated this process many times in the past couple weeks: receive a
report of the timeout error; open the asp page with the parameter that
produced the timeout to verify; repeat; open the asp page with a different
parameter - works fine; repeat with the initial parameter - timeout; Open QA
and run the sp - no problem; refresh the asp page - no more symptom.
The connection to the SQL Server (7.0) uses a specific SQL login for all
communications with the server. So all asp pages are logged in under the
same name. I thought this might be a connection pooliing issue, so this
morning, when the problem occurred, I logged into QA as the special name,
but again, there was no problem running the sp from QA.
So - I've run SQL Profiler to track what's going on when the problem occurs
and I've discovered the last statement to successfully run. Here is the sp:
/*
* File Name: np_GetAvailablePreviews.sql
Returns a list of "reports" available to be previewed, defined as:
date/shift combination with "P" mode and "C" status (if there
are Shift records, there must be an All record)
If none exist, check for the existence of accepted (mode = "A")
Shift records without a corresponding All record - if so, return
an All item for that date
Concatenate <OPTION> tags around each item
*/
CREATE PROCEDURE np_GetAvailablePreviews
(
@DivisionNumber smallint)
AS
BEGIN
set nocount on
declare @count int,
@datefrom datetime
select @datefrom = dateadd(day,-900,getdate())
CREATE TABLE #PreviewReports
(
ProductionDate datetime NULL,
Shift char(3) NULL
)
Insert #PreviewReports
SELECT DISTINCT ProductionDate,Shift
FROM dbo.LineItems
WHERE DivisionNumber = @DivisionNumber
AND Mode = 'P' AND Status = 'C'
AND productiondate >= @datefrom
-->>>The above command completes successfully according to Profiler
Insert #PreviewReports
SELECT distinct t1.ProductionDate, 'All'
FROM
(SELECT distinct ProductionDate, Shift, Mode, Status
FROM LineItems
WHERE DivisionNumber = @DivisionNumber
AND Shift<>'All' AND Mode='A' AND Status='C'
AND productiondate >= @datefrom AND timeperiod IN
('Day','Shift')
) t1
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT distinct ProductionDate, Shift, Mode, Status
FROM LineItems
WHERE DivisionNumber = @DivisionNumber
AND Shift='All' AND Mode='A' AND Status='C'
AND productiondate >= @datefrom AND timeperiod IN
('Day','Shift')
) t2
ON t1.ProductionDate = t2.ProductionDate
WHERE t2.ProductionDate Is Null
AND NOT EXISTS (Select * from #PreviewReports
where productiondate = t1.ProductionDate
and Shift = 'All')
-->>>This one (the one before this comment) starts, but does
not -->>>complete
set @count=(Select Count(*) From #PreviewReports)
-->>This one never begins - the ADO command times out
<snipped>
I did not provide a repro script because the problem is so intermittent that
I doubted it would do anyone any good.
However if someone feels they want to try to reproduce this, I will attempt
to create a repro script for them.
I suspect there is an issue with the temp table, but it's such a moving
target that I haven't been able to pin it down.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA,
Bob Barrows

Below is a simplified table & dataset to illustrate a problem I'm experiencing with a more complex one.
Code Block
create table #test(
recno smallint PRIMARY KEY,
value decimal (18,2))
insert into #test values (1, 3.57)
insert into #test values (2, 5.32)
insert into #test values (3,6.29)
insert into #test values (4, 9.25)
insert into #test values (5, 0.84)
Method 1: I tried inserting rows from #test into a temp table (#table) as follows
Code Block
declare @n as nvarchar(3)
set @n = 1
while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test)
begin
exec ('
insert into ##table
select *,
originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+')
from #test'
)
set @n = @n + 1
end
However, this yields an error message:
Code Block
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid object name '##table'.
Note - you can comment out the insert into ##table line above to view the results that I'm trying to put into ##table.
Method 2: next I tried explicitly creating ##table & rerunning the loop containing the insert
Code Block
create table ##table (
recno smallint,
value decimal (18,2),
originalrecno smallint)
declare @n as nvarchar(3)
set @n = 1
while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test)
begin
exec ('
insert into ##table
select *,
originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+')
from #test'
)
set @n = @n + 1
end
This worked - it inserted the data from the select statements in the loop into ##table.
Question - why won't method 1 work?

Hi,
I've forgotten how to put a null value in a column of a table where a previous value existed before.
What I mean is if through EM, you look at the data (Open Table -> Return all Rows) and you see a value in a column that is nullable (for example, I want to change a column that has a 'ABC Company' to a NULL value).
How do you that - i've done it in the past ,but cannot remember
Thanks in advance

I'm using ADO.NET and have noticed that it is somewhat more difficult to send/receive nulls to/from the database. What are the benefits (if any exist) with storing a null value in the db as opposed to a default value?
In particular, do you save any space by storing a null opposed to a zero or 01/01/1900? Are the nulls faster for searching/comparing when querying the db?
Basically I'm just wondering if storing nulls is really the best practice and why, so that I know whether it's worth the effort in .NET to transform my variables into a null-happy form.
Any facts/opinions are appreciated,
Inge

I have a derived column transformation that inspects two columns for spaces and creates a third column, initialised with either '1' or 'X'.
However the transformation is failing with the error"
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'TNV-INSERT1'
"
Here's the expression I'm using:
SUBSTRING(rt_tran_inv_text,1,255) != " " ? " X" : SUBSTRING(rt_tnv_narr_cr,1,30) != " " ? " X" : "1"
Neither of the source columns contain nulls. Any idea why it's trying to insert nulls into the new column?

I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the
answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table
and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within
an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each
time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the
same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.
thanks!!

To make the long story short, we have a situation where there can be different datatypes for a column. For example, 'AttributeValue' can be a datetime, int, float etc. My DBA is suggesting the following design,
tblAttribute
AttributeId, AttributeDataTypeId, AttributeValueInt, AttributeValueFloat, AttributeValueDateTime etc
For any AttributeId, only one of the value columns will have a value and the rest will be NULLs. I feel that this is a bad design. (FYI, We decided against SQLVariant for specific reasons). I have suggested, we create a seperate table for each datatype, like
tblAttribute: AttributeId, AttributeDataTypeId
tblAttributeValueFloat: AttributeId INT, AttributeValue FLOAT
tblAttibuteValueDateTime: AttributeId INT, AttributeValue DATETIME
etc for each datatype.
Depending on the AttributeDataTypeId in the Attribute table go to the specific table and pick up the value. This way, we don't need to have too many NULLs in a row. Which of the 2 do you think is a better design? And if you agree with me, what would be the points to support it.
Your time is greatly appreciated

Our database stores vehicle data in one table, but 3 different types of data are stored in the one table. The table contains all the columns for all 3 types so when you query the table you get at least 3 rows back with null values for all the columns that don't apply to that record. The data is imported to the table when it's updates so there's a possibility that they're updated at different times so they have a different BATCH like:
BATCH TYPE ID RATING INSURANCE SAFETY
300 SAFE 123 NULL NULL A
300 INS 123 NULL YES NULL
250 RATE 123 A NULL NULL
What I'd like returned is:
ID, RATING, INSURANCE, SAFETY
123 A YES A
I'm trying to do a case statement to pull the data down, but I keep ending up with multiple rows because of all the nulls. I tried doing a SUM of the case statement with an ISNULL(SAFETY,0) but I can't SUM char values. I can probably do this with 3 temp tables to load the data that I want for each TYPE into them and then select and join them together, but is there a better way to do this?
