NULL As The Default Value Of SP Paramters
Jun 4, 2006Hello,
View 3 RepliesHello,
View 3 RepliesSELECT ArticleID, ArticleTitle, ArticleDate, Published, PublishDate, PublishEndDateFROM UserArticlesWHERE (ArticleDate >= PublishDate) AND (ArticleDate <= PublishEndDate)
When I use the above on a GridView I get nothing. Using SQL manager it works great.
I don't know how to pass the value of the ArticleDate field as a default parameter or I think that's what I don't know how to do.
I am trying to create a app that I can set the dates an article will appear on a page and then go away depending on the date.
Thanks for any help!
I have a report that is run on a monthly basis with a default date of null. The stored procedure determines the month-end date that it should use should it be sent a null date.
The report works fine when I tell it to create a history entry; however, when I try to add a subscription it doesn't appear to like the null parameter value. Since I have told the report to have a default value of null it doesn't allow me to enter a value on the subscription page.
Now, I suppose I could remove the parameter altogether from the stored proc, but then the users would never be able to run the report for a previous time period. Can someone explain to me why default values aren't allowed to be used on subscriptions when they seem to work fine for ad hoc and scheduled reports? This is really quite frustrating as most of my reports require a date value and default to null so that the user doesn't have to enter them for the latest data.
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 595 default constraints in my database. I can return a list of them using the following:
select * from sys.default_constraints
Is there a way I can return a list of just the ones where NULL is still allowed? I want to update all of the columns with a default value to not allow NULLs.
I have a table that has a date field that can't be null. When a new record is created, if a date is not passed in, I want the default to be the current date. How can I set that? I tried Now, Today, GetDate, etc. Diane

I have a table with the list of employee and 15 column with data type float or money , that represent the number of hours, airfare,gas,parking food, etc....
I have 2 choice:
-Put 0 as a default value for each column, like that I do not have to use coalesce when I do SUM for each column.
-Leave the default value null but I will have to use coalesce.
In term of performance, what is the best solution?
Thanks
If no value is supplied on an insert for an int column that allows nulls, will the value be null or 0 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am designing a new table with a few columns that may or may not havea value on each row that is inserted.What issues determine whether to allow a NULL value to be inserted forthat column or define a default value to be used?I want to think through the repercussions of this decision before I getinto production.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have defined 8 varchar columns as not null with default, i.e.
[Namad8] [varchar](40) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL DEFAULT (' '),
I run a script transformation (Flat file source, OLE DB dest) that splits a crlf delimited field an array, and then loads each array element into one of the not null table columns as above. However there may be less than 8 elements present in the input field, which means the remaining columns are not populated.
When I run the data flow task, I get the error
"
Error: 0xC020901C at Capture Assessments, OLE DB Destination 1 [1]: There was an error with input column "Namad8" (24) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (14). The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
I know I'm trying to insert a null value into the column, but my understanding was that SQL would default the column to spaces. If I define the column to allow nulls, the data flow works fine.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
hi,
I am using sql as a back-end server. My application requires to insert a default string values when the user do not provide any input or if the inpur is NULL. I have used the following code, but the defaul values are not inserted. I am not getting the desired result.
CREATE TABLE Employees1 (
EmployeeName varchar(50),
State char(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'NSW' ,
PostalCode int default 2000,
Country varchar(32) NOT NULL default 'Australia');
insert into Employees1 values ('diana', ' ' , 2,' ' )
The output is: EmployeeName State PostalCode Country

how can you alter a table so that you can add a default value whenever the field is NULL? for example, whenever the table is brought up in a query, NULL is replaced with UNKNOWN
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to make a column to accept NULL but stores it as default value of Column Property?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a Nullable columns. I want the value to be zero if NULL is passed.
1) having a view for every such table,
2) using ISNULL for needed columns in that view
3) using those view for inserts instead of using tables directly.
This way i can reduce the number of places to use ISNULL in all my SPs.I dont want to make it to NOT NULL, as my application impact will be high. And Default constraint does not work here.

Hello
I've written a stored procedure with 4 parameters
create procedure dummy
( @a int, @b int, @c varchar(50), @d varchar(50))
now from front end(I'm using c#.net)
I want to send the values according to some criteria
So in the process...I've only values for @a & @c ...
so In order to reduce the code of sending Null values explicitly to other parameters...
can't I set like default values for it so that If I don't send values to certain parameters it will have the default value or Null value.
like I want something like this:
create procedure dummy
( @a int NULL, @b int NULL, @c varchar(50) NULL, @d varchar(50) NULL)
I have a datatable : Data_Table and a look up table: Lk_table. Myfield that I
use in Inner Join is defined in both the
data and look table.
So I build my query like this:
SELECT * FROM dbo. Data_Table INNER JOIN
dbo. Lk_table ON dbo.Data_Table.MyField = dbo.Lk_table.Myfield
The pb, sometimes I
have myfield still with its default null value in the datatable: Data_Table.
So, I end up getting 0 record when I execute the query shown above.
How do I turn that around so that even if myfield in Data_Table
is Null, I still get the records from Data_Table. (I don t want a set of
records including all possible values from the look up table: Lk_Table)
I have a stored procedure with a SELECT statement, that retrieves 1 row.
SELECT name FROM tblNames WHERE nameID = "1"
I want all the NULL values in that row to be change in some default values.
How do I do this?
Hello,
I have a BIT column which accepts NULL values.
What would be a good method to allow an INSERT (or UPDATE) statement to insert NULL into this column but then automatically change the NULL to 0 (zero). In other words, test for NULLs after INSERT (or UPDATE) and change the value to 0 (zero).
Not exactly sure how to do this with a Trigger. Also, what is that [Formula] option used for (column properties in the Table Design view)... and would this apply with my problem?
Thanks,
Hi,
I have the following problem: I'm connected to flat file source and trying to read data that is later inserted in an MS Access database. Everything wokrs fine instead of one thing - when I have null values in the flat file, I want those NULL values to be inserted in the MS Access db, instead of that what happens is that I actually get the default values for a column type from the flat file and later insert that defalut value. For example if I have a null value in an four-bite-signed-integer column of the flat file, I get 0 as value.
I thouth of solution using a "Derived Column" transformation which can transform the zeros into nulls, but decided to check with you guys if there is a smarter thing to do (for example to edit the flat file source to read the NULLs correctly).
Any advice is appreciated! Many thanks

I have a report with datetime parameter which is required to be optional (there should be an option not to select this parameter which would cause in not narrowing result of this report by this parameter).
I used datetime parameter
@daTo (to have the calendar control for selecting date) and check on "Allow Null" value. Here is default Value.
I've also tried to set DefaultValue expression was "=Nothing".
IN my query of data set, here is the part I use the parameter @daTo
... Where (@daTo IS NULL OR TRUNC(@daTo) >= TRUNC(pe.start_time) ....
But when I run the report, I got below error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
I think it @daTo value actually not null so it try to TRunc the value
I don't know how to set null value default in my report.

Hi,
I have a data transform from a flat-file to a SQL server database.
Some of the flat-file fields have NULL values. The SQL table I'm
importing into does not allow NULL values in any field, but each field
has a Default value specified.
I need to have it so that if a null value comes across in a field using
the data transform, it takes the table default on import. I could of
sworn I had this working a few days ago, but I get errors now that
state I'm violating table constraints. Has anyone done this before?
Thanks

Hi,
In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables.
The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them.
If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string?
I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way:
1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour
2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing.
Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option to default the value to NULL WHEN there is NO data ELSE insert the data itself? So the same behavior that I have right now except that I want NULL in place of empty string/blank in the varchar(x) columns.
Thanks

I am in a SQL Class and I am starting to learn about SQL Parameters in conjunction with using them from a C# program. I have a couple of questions.
1. When I include an Output parameter in the list or paramters that I send, SQL always is returning a message indicating that the parameter was missing, when I know in fact that I am passing the paramter (@RtnMsg)
2. When I remove any reference to "@RtnMsg", which it can not find, and execute the stored procedure it always returns a -1 and never inserts the record.
Here is my code for the stored procedure....
ALTER procedure [dbo].[Insert_Biblio]
@ISBN as char(11),
@CALL_NO as char(20),
@DEWEY_NO as char(20),
@AUTHOR as char(5),
@TITLE as char(100),
@AUTHOR_BORN as int,
@AUTHOR_DIED as int,
@PUBLISHER as char(30),
@YEAR_PUBLISHED as int,
@BOOK_INFO as char(49),
@BOOK_HEIGHT as int,
@BIBLIO_INFO as char(100),
@COST as money,
@TOPIC_1 as char(30),
@TOPIC_2 as char(30),
@RtnMsg as varchar(50) output
as
declare @Book_ID as char(5);
begin
Set @RtnMsg = 'Insert Successful'
return 0
select @Book_ID = max(book_ID) + 1
from collection
insert into biblio

From previous postings I have read it seems that I cannot create afunction that accepts a variable list of parameters. Seems that SQLServer does not support this.A few questions:Is this true?What is a workaround?Then how does the function COALESCE do it?Cut and pasted from online books:SyntaxCOALESCE ( expression [ ,...n ] )ArgumentsexpressionIs an expression of any type.nIs a placeholder indicating that multiple expressions can bespecified. All expressions must be of the same type or must beimplicitly convertible to the same type.

Hello,
I just installed the new SQL 2005 sp2 CTP on my stand alone report server. Now whenever a parmeter is not multi-value I get
One or more data sources is missing credentials
when clicking off the parameter. If I set the parameter to multi-value it works fine but confuses the users.
Does anyone know how to debug this or if a fix is available ? Yes it was working before I installed the service pack.
