Inserting Nulls In To Table Conflicting With Rule
Jan 15, 2007
Hi,
I basically have two tables with the same structure. One is an archive
of the other (backup). I want to essentially insert the data in to the
other.
I use:
INSERT INTO table ( column, column .... )
SELECT * FROM table2
Now, 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 previous
CREATE RULE statement. The statement was terminated. The conflict
occurred 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 the
rule is the NULL value. Any ideas why this doesn't work?
Thanks.

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'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?

Hi,
I have fields in my table which allow nulls. Is it efficient to not insert anything (the field automatically shows up as null in this case) and leave or store some value into it. The field is a smallint field?

Hello All,
I work for a company that packages MSDE and MSSQL 8.0 because our software requires storing client information in a database. The problem is that we've found that if the our users have another DB engine installed (BDE or Paradox usually), our program has trouble using MSDE to access the database and thus making our software inaccessible. It behaves as if this other database engine locks on our database before MSDE can. I'm basically looking for help on either how to uninstall these other db engines or how to get around this problem so that both MSSQL and other db engines can co-exist in one system.

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

Hello,
I have 3 packages in one solution:
package A is the main package and calls packages B and C using 2 "Execute Package Task"s.
package B is a package constructed from scratch.
package C is a package started by file copying the package B .dtsx file in Windows Explorer and then adding/removing/renaming content.
If I run packages B and C separately they work fine.
If I run package A, package B is started and finishes correctly. Then package C is started and stops somewhere in the middle.
I guess this is because some of the component id's within package C are identical to those in package B ( I checked in the dtsx packages using Notepad. ) and somehow SSIS remembers the precedence constraints of package B and stops executing the rest of C. But I am not sure. And I do not know how to solve this without a risk of losing two days of work.
Any advice/suggestions ?
TIA

I need p.phonenumber in there but then it messes up my DISTINCT ON m.number because I end up with dup m.numbers if I run just the inner select statement during testing.
But then I need the phonenumber in that subquery so that I can do list.phonenumber
ahh!
UPDATE Master
SET master.homephone = list.phonenumber
FROM MASTER m
INNER JOIN
(SELECT DISTINCT p.number, topphone.phonenumber
FROM phones p
INNER JOIN (SELECT top 1 phonenumber from phones) as topphone ON topphone.number = p.number
WHERE p.phonetypeID = 1
AND ISNULL(p.good, 0) <> 0
AND LEN(p.phonenumber) = 10
) AS list ON m.Number = list.Number
WHERE m.homephone IS NULL OR m.homephone = ''
Error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Skiaa, Line 66
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'top'.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Skiaa, Line 88

Hi all,
I need some advice on this scenario.
I have to set a Disaster Recovery (DR) server from my production Server( Most probably, i will be using Database Mirroring for my DR Server). Right now, the production is log shipped to another server for reporting every 15 minutes.
So, for setting up Database Mirroring onto my DR Server, i can take Full Backup from production without damaging log Shipping.
But, for setting up Database Mirroring, we need to restore most recent Transaction log backup with norecovery ( Correct me if i am wrong).
But, I cannot take log back because the prodcution database is log shipped for Reporting needs. If taken, log chain breaks.
Can anyone please suggest some work around for setting up the DR Server with minimal downtime.
Thanks for all your help.

I apologize if this has been posted/asked before... a search of the Forum for keyword "NULL" doesn't return any result (not even a 0 found).
When I import an XLS file into SQL2000, everything goes fine, except that every column after my data has <NULL> in it. How do I prevent this from happening, or fix it?
Thanks,

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?

Hi,
Using Merge replication, I have a table that is filtered using the HOST_NAME() function. The filter also makes use of a function (as the HOST_NAME() is overriden to return some complex data).
Everything replicates and filters just fine. but when I add a join filter on a different table (the join filter is a simple foreign key join) I get the following error when the snapshot agent is run:
Message: Conflicting locking hints are specified for table "fn_GetIDList". This may be caused by a conflicting hint specified for a view.
Command Text: sp_MSsetup_partition_groups
Parameters: @publication = test1
fn_GetIDList is the function used in the original filter.
Thanks for any help

I'm trying to write a script toreplace any field with 0 or null with 1, but it's not working. HEre'swhat I've got:Update A Set A.deptcode = A.deptcode,A.type = A.Type,A.Volume = (case A.VolumeWhen Null Then 1When 0 then 1Else A.VolumeEnd)From Data_Unsorted A Join Data_Unsorted B OnA.deptcode = B.deptcode and A.type = B.TypeMy table is data_unsorted and deptcode and type are my primary keysVolume is the item I want to put 1 if null or zero, and I'd thing theabove statement would work, but it doesn't. This table has 383 rows,and it says it updates 383 rows, but when I run the following query totest:select a.deptcode, a.type, a.volumefrom data_unsorted awhere a.AveMonthVolume = 0 or a.AveMonthVOlume is nullIt didn't work... still TONS of nulls and zero's.

I am working on an app that getting quite a few deadlocks due to delete statements. I have turned on the sql trace flags and pulled the offending delete statements out of the ERRORLOG and trying to mesh those up with the indexes defined on the table, etc. looking to see if there is anything that can be done strictly from the db side (no app code change) to reduce/eliminate these deadlocks. I have ran some tests/played around with RCSI and even disabling lock escalation but neither have improved my results.
What I have done is to search the errorlog file for DELETE FROM Tablename, output those matching lines, then sort of normalize the literal values to # or XYZ, open in Notepad++, removed trailing whitespace + dups and sort to come up with these results for the unique list of offending T-SQL statements (a LOT easier to read in text editor so sending screen cap.

I 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.

}

But now I am getting error "General Network Error. Check your network documentation" after specifying Use existing stored procedure in TableAdpater Configuration Wizard.
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.Insert_MailSignature( @Singnature image )
AS
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
INSERT INTO MailsSignature (Singnature) VALUES (@Singnature);
SELECT Id, Singnature FROM MailsSignature WHERE (Id = SCOPE_IDENTITY())
For testing I created a desktop application and found that the same Code, same(Use existing stored procedure in TableAdpater Configuration Wizard) and same stored procedure is working fine in inserting image into the table.
Is there any limitation in CF?
