Query Help, What Columns For All Records Are Empty

Aug 30, 2004

I am wanting to make a query to find out if there are any columns in a table that are null for all records.

So far I am using a cursor that holds all the column names of that table and then a stored procedure that would use a loop to cycle through all the column names in a query to essentially count the number of nulls for each column and then an If statement to check to see if the #of nulls = to the number of records.

What isn't working is my query to count the number of nulls...Here is my query

select count(*)
from XYZ
where @cName is null

Ive tried declaring cName as a sysname, and varchar, neither work.

Also, I've tried using COL_NAME(OBJECT_ID('XYZ'), someColumnIndx)...I think this would be the better choice just because I wouldn't need to use a cursor, but both aren't working.
I am a bit new to MSSQL and don't know my way around the system tables. Is there a sys table that would give me this info so I wouldn't need to perform a query?

Any info would be great.

MDX Query To Display No Records For Empty Rows

Jan 9, 2007

Hi,

I am facing with the following problem.

I am using bar chart to display my report.

My MDX query is as follows:

SELECT
NON EMPTY { [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] } ON COLUMNS,
TopCount ( Filter ( {[DIM].[NAME].[NAME]}, [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] <> 0 ) , 10, [Measures].[SUM_COUNT] ) ON ROWS
FROM
[USAGE]

where <criteria>

I want to show the topmost 10 records. For some criteria I get the results in the chart.

But for some criteria or say for wrong criteria, there are no records. In such a case the X-axis contains all values for {[DIM].[NAME].[NAME] and value for the Y-axis is all 0. Its kind of blank report it will restrict to 10 records.

In such a scenario I want to show a message to the user saying "No records found", which I have set in the No Rows property of the chart.

If I remove the TopCount clause then I get the above message, which is obvious.

So how do I acheive the same message but at the same time limiting the records to 10?

How can I acheive this in my scenario? Can something be done at the query end?

any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'm exporting the following query to a datagrid, however in the result set, some values are duplicated (for various reasons... mostly old software and poor categorization)...On the records with identical values, I want to look at the account number and the DateOfService fields and search for joint distinct values and only display that...Current Example:  ACCT NUM   |  DATE OF SERVICE  |________________________________   43490          |     10/01/2006  08:15:23  |     35999          |     10/10/2005  12:00:00  |   35999          |     10/24/2005  12:45:30  |   35999          |     10/10/2005  12:00:00  |   35999          |     10/10/2005  12:00:00  |   23489          |     10/15/2006  15:13:23  |Desired Result:  ACCT NUM   |  DATE OF SERVICE  |________________________________   43490          |     10/01/2006  08:15:23  |     35999          |     10/10/2005  12:00:00  |   35999          |     10/24/2005  12:45:30  |   23489          |     10/15/2006  15:13:23  |Here is the query I'm working with... just can't figure out how to join or limit the results to ONLY unique matches in Acct Number AND DateOfService.  "SELECT     tblCH.ProcedureKey AS CPT, tblPC.Description, DATEDIFF(d, tblPat.BirthDate, " & _        " { fn NOW() }) / 365 AS Age,  tblPat.LastName, tblPat.FirstName, tblPat.BirthDate," & _        "  CAST(tblCH.AccountKey AS varchar) + '.' + CAST(tblCH.DependentKey AS varchar) AS Account, tblCH.DateOfService " & _        " FROM         dbo.Procedure_Code___Servcode_dat tblPC INNER JOIN " & _        " dbo.Charge_History___Prohist_dat tblCH ON tblPC.ProcedureKey = tblCH.ProcedureKey RIGHT OUTER JOIN " & _        " dbo.Patient_Info___Patfile_dat tblPat ON tblCH.AccountKey = (tblPat.AccountKey AND tblCH.DependentKey) = tblPat.DependentKey "Any suggestions from y'all SQL gurus?  I have to have this report ready for production by tomorrow morning and this is the last fix I need to make =Thank you =)

Empty Recordsets And Artificial Records

I'm currently running the following statement that is used in a CrystalReport. Basically, a record is returned when the T_PAYMENT.amounthas a record in the database based on the value of the T_MULTILIST.codefield. Currently, if there is no record returned, there is no listingin the report for the given T_MULTILIST.code.The user now wants a record to be displayed on the report when there isno record in the database - she wants it to display a value of '$0'for the given T_MULTILIST.code record.

Empty A Table Before Using DTS To Append Records?

Jul 20, 2005

In Access I have a macro that, each night, takes a table with aprimary key defined in it, and deletes all the rows. Then itimports/appends records from a fixed width text file. In this way,since the table is not deleted and recreated, the primary key is keptintact.What would be the equivalent SQL method for doing this in an automatedway? I've tried letting DTS import the table from Access, but theprimary key is lost. Is there some way to "empty" a table instead ofdropping it, and then append new records so that the table will end uphaving the primary key I want it to have?Thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.

ODBC Cant Use Empty Objects Or Columns

Mar 30, 1999

I have recently installed SQL 7.0 on a test server for the purpose of testing an application that currently runs on SQL 6.5. I used the Upgrade Wizard to move a small test database from 6.5 to 7.0. The upgrade was successful, with a few errors that were from Logins that were not defined as users in the test database.

When I try to run the application on 7.0, I get a series of “ADO Exception” errors with the SOURCE : OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers. The description of the errors reads “Cannot use empty object or column names. Use a single space if necessary.” When I select OK in the message box, the application continues to load, until another error occurs. After 20 –30 message boxes, the application comes up. However once in the application, the errors continue.

Is there someone who could shed some light on the nature of my problem? There is obviously something incompatible between the latest version of the SQL ODBC driver, my application, and the database. The description seems to refer to empty columns or tables. Obviously, this was not a problem with 6.5 and the older ODBC driver (3.60). I have run the database through the upgrade wizard twice. Once with the ANSI NULLS option OFF, and the other time with it ON. This makes no difference. I have searched the Microsoft Web site under SQL and ODBC using some of the keywords in the message box., but did not come up anything useful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Inserting Empty Values Into NOT NULL Columns Via ODBC

Jul 20, 2005

We 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.

Need Efficient Query To Partition Records By Type And Pull Top N Records From DB

Jan 18, 2008

I have a query similar to the following. The intent of this query is to retrieve the top 6 records meeting the specified criteria (LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status Start' OR LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status End' ) based on most recent dates. Please keep in mind that I expect to return up to 6 records for each unique LogProcessName. This could be thousands of different LogProcessNames with up to 6 records for each.

1) The table I am executing against currently is very large in size and thus takes a long time to execute against. It would seem there must be a more efficient query to get the results I am looking for?
2) CTE doesn't work on SQL 2000. I need a query that does.
3) I cannot modify the database itself in the process.


;WITH cte AS (
SELECT [LogProcessName], [LogBody], [LogDate], [LogGUID], row_number()
OVER(PARTITION BY [LogProcessName]
ORDER BY [LogDate] DESC)
AS RN
FROM [LOGTABLE]
WHERE [LogTypeGUID] IN (
SELECT LogTypeGUID
FROM LOGTYPE
WHERE LogTypeName = 'Process Status Start'
OR LogTypeName = 'Process Status End' ) )
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE RN = 1 OR RN = 2 OR RN = 3 OR RN = 4 OR RN = 5 OR RN = 6
ORDER BY [LogProcessName] DESC, [LogDate] DESC

Does anybody else have any idea that would yield the results that I am looking for and take into account items 1-3 above?

Thanks in advance.

Aggregate Task When Query Returns Empty.

Jan 13, 2008



To create a strike file for a text file output, I piped the output of a query throught a mulitcast. One output is the actual flat file, the other output is the strike file. The next task for the strike output is an aggregate count and sum functions. If the original query returns no records, the count shows zero, but the sum shows NULL. Further down the process I have to pad out the values with zero's, but that NULL is causing problems. How do I convert the Null to either an empty string, or a value of zero?

Insert Query Fails (if Form Fields Left Empty)

Dear All,
I have created a table in my SQL server database, the problem i am facing is my insert query fails if i leave any form field empty (leave it blank). On my back-end table, only one field is mandatory, and others have been set with the constraint "allow null".
As per our business requirement, except one value is complusory while others are optional. If I enter all values in the form it works perfectly fine. Can you see in the code below - where am i possibly going wrong ?

Values In LEFT JOIN Need To Be Empty Strings (was SQL Query Question)

Sep 26, 2006

Hello,

I have a SQL database where I am attempting to perform a complicated query that I cannot seem to figure out. I am using SQL Server.

I have 4 tables (TableA, TableB, TableC, and TableD). TableA and TableB are guaranteed to have a relationship.

TableC and TableD are guaranteed to have a relationship.

The trick is, I need to link between TableA and TableC essentially using a LEFT JOIN. I need to retrieve all of the values from TableA regardless and the information from TableC and TableD if there is a link, if there isn't a link, then the values from TableC and TableD need to be empty strings.

Does anyone know how I can do this? I've been trying for the last 5 hours without any luck. I feel I'm close, but there is something I feel I'm overlooking.

Thank you SO much for your help!

Delete Records When You Have A Primary Key Of Two Columns

Jun 12, 2006

Hi everyone.

I have two tables: the catalog table and the detail table.
The two tables are joined by a two-columns key.

I want to make a Delete sentence for delete all the rows in the Catalog table that aren't in the detail table, in SQL Server.

The only problem is that the key is composed by two colums.

If the Key was maded of one column, that would be easy, like this:

DELETE FROM CATALOG
WHERE CATALOGKEY NOT IN (SELECT CATALOGKEY FROM DETAIL)

But it is possible to make a delete sentence if the key has two columns ?


Thanks

Duplicate Records In Multiple Columns.

May 21, 2008

Hello,

I have a question regarding duplicate records, the thing is I'm able to query for duplicated records if I type the following:


select ColumnName from TableName
where ColumnName in
(
select ColumnName from TableName
group by ColumnName having count(*) > 1
)


That gives me duplicate records for one column, but I need find duplicate records in more than one column (4 columns to be exact), but the way I need to find these records is they all have to be duplicate, what I'm trying to say is I don't don't want to find the following:

First Last Age Email
John Smith 25 jsmith@hotmail.com
John Smith 26 jsmith@hotmail.com
John Smith 25 jsmith4@hotmail.com

I need to find the following:

First Last Age Email
John Smith 25 jsmith@hotmail.com
John Smith 25 jsmith@hotmail.com
John Smith 25 jsmith@hotmail.com

So all the columns must be exactly the same, that's the only condition I want to show the records, is there any way to do this?

For the record, I'm using MS SQL Server 2000, thank you.

SQL Count Records Based On 2 Columns

Oct 15, 2007

Newbie alrt...

I am trying to create an asp page that will update an Access 2000 database. I need to update records if the user exists and create a new record if the user does not exist. Most of the variables are pulled from a separate "post" form.

I am using 2 pieces of info to find duplicates, as employee numbers can be assigned to multiple employees. Right now I have the page check for a duplicate employee id number then check for a duplicate last name. Unfortunately it is running each check separately, so if the last name is duplicated anywhere, it is sending a duplicated value.


here is the chunk of code in question... all RF_variables are request.form variables


cnt="SELECT COUNT(emp_id) AS Xnum FROM " & RF_course
cnt=cnt & " WHERE emp_id='" & RF_emp_id & "'"
set again=conn.Execute(cnt)
dup=again("Xnum")


if dup>=1 then
cnt="SELECT COUNT(lname) AS Xnum FROM " & RF_course
cnt=cnt & " WHERE lname='" & RF_lname & "'"
set again=conn.Execute(cnt)
dupl=again("Xnum")

if dupl=1 then
upd="UPDATE " & RF_course & " SET "
upd=upd & "section" & RF_section & "='" & RF_score & "'"
upd=upd & " WHERE emp_id='" & RF_emp_id & "'"
upd=upd & " AND lname='" & RF_lname & "'"
on error resume next
conn.Execute upd
else
ins="INSERT INTO " & RF_course
ins=ins & " (lname,fname,emp_id,cname,"
ins=ins & "section" & RF_section & ")"
ins=ins & " VALUES "
ins=ins & "('" & RF_lname & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_fname & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_emp_id & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_cname & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_score & "')"
on error resume next
conn.Execute ins
end if
else
ins="INSERT INTO " & RF_course
ins=ins & " (lname,fname,emp_id,cname,"
ins=ins & "section" & RF_section & ")"
ins=ins & " VALUES "
ins=ins & "('" & RF_lname & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_fname & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_emp_id & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_cname & "',"
ins=ins & "'" & RF_score & "')"
on error resume next
conn.Execute ins
end if




Hopefully this is understandable.
If anyone can offer any help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
