Inserting An Empty Row
Mar 14, 2008Hi, is there an equivalent to the mysql's " INSERT INTO table () VALUES ();"?
The fields don't allow null values, and there is a primary key with auto increment.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

Inserting Empty Date
Oct 11, 2004undefined
I am using VB6 and SQL7. I am asking a user to enter a date if applicable - specifically a product manufactured date. I then take that date, using the dateadd function, query a table for a specific code, and calculate an expiration date based on the particular code.
The problem - if the user does not enter a manufactured date, which is OK, SQL inserts 01/01/1900 - which I do not want. How do I handle?
I am inserting the date, if there is one, from a flexgrid. I am declaring the variable as variant. The SQL field is DateTime.
Ex:
sSQL = "Insert into RecI(manufacdate) values ('" & (flxRec.TextMatrix(ctr,14)) & "')"
Please Help!

Mar 10, 2006I am using the following query to calculate date differences:select ..........DATEDIFF(d, recruitment_advertising.advertising_date, career_details.RTS_Email AS Datetime) AS Ad_to_RTS_days FROM .....I have stored all my dates as NVARCHAR because of the issues with localization.If the value is an empty String my output is eg: -38700. which is way off and incorrect. Some of the values in my table are NULL and they produce the correct result.Is there a T-SQL statement to replace empy Strings with the NULL value in my tables.I'd like to use it as a trigger when inserting or updating to convert empty strings to NULLbefore the values are inserted.Thanks guys.
View 1 Replies View RelatedInserting Empty Values Into NOT NULL Columns Via ODBC
Jul 20, 2005We are writing a C application that is using ODBC to insert recordsinto a database. We have a NOT NULL column that can legitimately havean empty value, i.e. we know the value and it is empty (i.e. a zerolength string).We are using SQLBindParameter() to bind a variable to theparameterized insert statement <<in the form: INSERT INTO table VALUES(?, ?, ?)>>. We are using SQLExecDirect() to process the SQL.We are running into the problem where ODBC is converts the empty (zerolength) string into a NULL value and this errors due to the fact thatthe column is defined as NOT NULL.We do not want to redefine the column as NULL, becasue myunderstanding of the correct usage of a NULL column is to indicatethat a value is unknown or meaningless... in our case we know thevalue (it is empty) and an empty value has meaning within ourapplication.I'm sure that this issue has been seen and address thousands(millions?) of times... any guidance would be appreciated.

SQL Server 2012 :: Get Empty Data Set For Inserting Data?
Nov 11, 2014I have 2 tables in my database.
one is Race table and 2nd one is Age Range.
I want to write a query where I can see all races and age range as column.
TblRace
ID, RaceName
TblAgeRange
ID,AgeRange.
There is no connection between this two table. I need to display result like below.
Race 17-20 21-30 31-40

How do i get this kind of empty data set so that I can fill it out in front end or any better solution. The age range will be displayed as many row as they have. It's not static. Above is just an example.

ALL And Empty Set
Sep 29, 2006SQL Server 2000 SP4. Hoping to find a logical explanation for a certainbehavior.Consider this script:USE pubsGOIF 1 = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = 'CA')PRINT 'TRUE'ELSEPRINT 'FALSE'This, as expected, prints FALSE, since not all authors in CA are undercontract. Now, if the script is changed as follows:USE pubsGOIF 1 = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = '')PRINT 'TRUE'ELSEPRINT 'FALSE'then the result is TRUE. In other words, the expression evaluates to TRUEwhen the select statement produces an empty set, which doesn't make senseto me. Even more interesting, the expressionNULL = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = '')still evaluates to TRUE (ANSI_NULLS is ON).Can anyone explain these results? Is this the expected behavior in the SQLstandard, or something that is specific to SQL Server? Thanks.--remove a 9 to reply by email

Empty The Transaction Log
Jun 28, 2004Hi i would like to know how to empty the transaction log programmaticly.
Someone got a clue? :)
Transaction Log Never Empty
Jan 26, 2000Hi, I have a SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.415 (Intel X86) and one database has 8Gb of data and 2Gb of log, the problem is that
the log space used is never below 44%, even if I back it up this way:
DUMP TRANSACTION DBName TO DBNAME_log_930 VOLUME = 'SS0003' WITH NOUNLOAD , STATS = 10, INIT , NOSKIP
This should clean the log, right?
I check for open transactions via: dbcc opentran (GMS), but there aren't.
The way I check for the log space used is: dbcc sqlperf(logspace)
The recover interval is 5.
Any Ideas?
Thank You

Bcp Out Empty Column
Feb 27, 2006I'm bcp-ing a table to a file. I've noticed that if a varchar column is empty, that both "bcp -c" and "bcp -c -k" export the empty value as #$00. Instead, I'd like to export the value as if it were null.
use monkey
go
create table tab1 (
myColumn varchar(10) null
)
go
insert into tab1 (myColumn) values ('')
go
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp monkey..tab1 out D:data.csv -c -T'
go
drop table tab1
go
I've been fiddling about with other switches but so far haven't come up with a solution other than writing out the full SELECT-statement or updating the original. Anyone with an easier solution?

Database Empty
Mar 23, 2006hello everyone,
am not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.
We have a couple of clients we support running MS SQL, and as a rule, all db access is by SP and select statements.
However, we noticed earlier today, that a newly created account was empty. All columns except the users columns had been deleted.
1. Is there a way of checking which user account deleted the columns ?
2. Or finding out what went wrong ?
This has never happened before

Empty DB Structure
Apr 24, 2007Hi,
I have to change collation for certain database. I think the only solution is to export or create through scripts the empty db structure (tables, PK & FK, defaults) and thereafter import data.
Since I don't have empty structure of this database I have to create somehow from the existing one which is with data, can somebody suggest how can I do this - take out the structure of the database from the db with data on it. I have 256 tables and I have to order them first with the dependencies of the tables?!
I will be really thankfull if somebody can help me on this issue.
Thnks,

Empty Cells
Feb 11, 2008
I am trying to import Data from an Excel file to a SQL DB table. there are around 106 rows and 2 columns.
By default, the ssis is selecting around 200 columns and over 2000 rows. But all cells except for the 2 columns and 106 rows are empty. While I can specify that I need to read only 2 columns, I could not figure out a way to specify the rows. Any help?
What To Do With An Empty Result Set
Mar 13, 2008
I'm querying my database with a datetime constraint, only picking up records newer than the last ETL. Although I doubt it would ever happen I was going to put a check in the data flow to trap the case when NO rows were read due to inactivity in the OLAP. I set up a row count and tried to trap it. Apparently if you use an OLE DB source to get a result set and that result set is empty, the program flow bypasses everything and keeps running until it hits something causing an error, like an SQL Insert or Update command.
Is there any way to trap this condition? Currently it is going to cause the program to fail which will cause a snapshot restore (after kicking everyone out of the database).
Thanks.
Empty &&<&&> IS NOT NULL
Jul 22, 2007Hello,
I have a query that returns the appropriate values I need, however there is one field I'd like to add and utilize but my problem is I only want to use it if it contains data.
If I filter it with IS NOT NULL it returns all the records, including the empty records. The field is simply empty, and doesn't come back as NULL. If I filter it with =' ' , it shows all the records with the empty records only.
I need to do the opposite, be able to filter it only if it's not empty.
Any help would be appreciated.

How To Know If A Record Is Empty Or Not, Without Using QueryString?
May 18, 2007Hi,I wrote two queries to search in three tables mp_parent, mp_page and mp_parentThe first one is: SELECT mp_page.PID, mp_page.PageID, mp_page.PageContent, mp_page.ParID, mp_page.ChiID, mp_parent.ParentName FROM mp_page INNER JOIN mp_parent ON mp_page.ParID = mp_parent.ParentID The second one is:SELECT mp_page.PID, mp_page.PageID, mp_page.PageContent, mp_page.ParID, mp_page.ChiID, mp_child.ChildName FROM mp_page INNER JOIN mp_child ON mp_page.ChiID = mp_child.ChildID I used this way to display the records in a FormView public HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current; public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!Page.IsPostBack) { ViewState["srch"] = context.Items["srch"]; } FormView1.DataSource = GetTable(); FormView1.DataBind(); } private DataTable GetTable() { SqlConnection SqlCon = new SqlConnection("Data Source=AJ-166DCCD87;Initial Catalog=mp;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False"); String SQL1 = "select mp_page.PID, mp_page.PageID, mp_page.PageContent, mp_page.ParID, mp_page.ChiID, mp_parent.ParentID, mp_parent.ParentName from mp_page INNER JOIN mp_parent ON mp_page.ParID = mp_parent.ParentID where PageContent like '%" + Convert.ToString(ViewState["srch"]) + "%'"; SqlDataAdapter Adptr = new SqlDataAdapter(SQL1, SqlCon); SqlCommandBuilder CB = new SqlCommandBuilder(Adptr); DataTable Dt = new DataTable(); Adptr.Fill(Dt); return Dt; SqlCon.Close(); } the question is how can I check if one record is empty to witch to another query ??Is it possible to know without using QueryString?Thank you
