I am trying to return all the names of employees and their managers
this query returns all the employees except for 1
SELECT E.FNAME,E.LNAME,M.FNAME,M.LNAME
FROM EMPLOYEE E,EMPLOYEE M
WHERE E.SUPERSSN=M.SSN
the one that isn't returned has a null SUPERSSN, but when I add in:
OR E.SUPERSSN IS NULL
it returns a row with the name of the employee whose SUPERSSN is null 8 times (where each time the M.FNAME,M.LNAME are other employee names)
How do I ammend the first query to return each employee and their respective manager once, the employee without a manager having null values for the manager name columns?
I'm creating a 'dynamic where clause' with 15 parameters. I was using coalesce with the example below and it's working fine until it encounters a null value. I was trying to use nullif with coalesce to no avail. Can someone show me based on my example below how I can incorporate nullif with coalesce. Thanks in advance for you help.
Code Block WHERE cs.DirID = Coalesce(@DirNum, cs.DirID)
If I try to run the code below, and even one of the values in the INNER JOIN statements is NULL, the DataReader ends up with zero rows. What I need is to see the results even if one or more of INNER JOIN statements has a NULL value. For example, if I want info on asset# 2104, and there's no value in the DriverID field, I need the rest of the data to display and just have the lblDriverName by blank. Is that possible?

I have this INNER JOIN that is fine to show all possible combinations. But I need to show only rows that have one or more Null values in tbIntersect.
Should I use nested LEFT JOINT? How?
This is the SQL statement: sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT tbCar100.Car100_ID, tbCar100.Description100 AS [Caractéristique 100], " & _ "tbCar200.Car200_ID, tbCar200.Description200 AS [Caractéristique 200], " & _ "tbCar300.Car300_ID, tbCar300.Description300 AS [Caractéristique 300], " & _ "tbCar400.Car400_ID, tbCar400.Description400 AS [Caractéristique 400], " & _ "tbCar500.Car500_ID, tbCar500.Description500 AS [Caractéristique 500], " & _ "tbCar600.Car600_ID, tbCar600.Description600 AS [Caractéristique 600], " & _ "tbCar700.Car700_ID, tbCar700.Description700 AS [Caractéristique 700], " & _ "tbProducts.Prod_ID, tbProducts.PartNumber AS [Part Number] , tbProducts.Description AS [Description] , tbProducts.DateAdded AS [Date] " & _ "FROM tbProducts INNER JOIN (tbCar700 INNER JOIN (tbCar600 INNER JOIN (tbCar500 INNER JOIN (tbCar400 INNER JOIN (tbCar300 INNER JOIN (tbCar100 INNER JOIN " & _ "(tbCar200 INNER JOIN tbIntersect ON tbCar200.Car200_ID = tbIntersect.Car200_ID) " & _ "ON tbCar100.Car100_ID = tbIntersect.Car100_ID) ON tbCar300.Car300_ID = tbIntersect.Car300_ID) ON tbCar400.Car400_ID = tbIntersect.Car400_ID) ON tbCar500.Car500_ID = tbIntersect.Car500_ID) ON tbCar600.Car600_ID = tbIntersect.Car600_ID) ON tbCar700.Car700_ID = tbIntersect.Car700_ID) ON tbProducts.Prod_ID = tbIntersect.Prod_ID " & _ ";"

The Orders table contains orders placed on all the dates. I want to obtain a list of orders for a particular date, if there is no order for a product on the requested date, I want to return null values for the Quantity and Price fields.
I tried the following select statement:
select Products.ProductName, Orders.Quantity, Orders.Price from Products left join Orders on Products.ProductID = Orders.ProductID where Orders.OrderDate = '10/16/2004'
Where, there are a total of three products (A,B,C) in table Products. Product-C has no order on 10/16/2004, but I want it to return :
I have tables and a function as representated by the code below. The names for objects here are just for representation and not the actual names of objects. Table RDTEST may have one or multiple values for RD for each PID. So the function GIVERD will return one or multiple values of RD for each value of PID passed to it.
When I run the following query, I get the required result except the rows for CID 500 for which PID is NULL in table T1. I want the rows for CID 500 as well with PID values as NULL.
SELECT A.CID, A.ANI, A.PID, B.RD FROM T1 AS A CROSS APPLY GIVERD(A.PID) B
Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you
set ansi_nulls off
go

@inFileName VARCHAR (100),
@inFileSize INT,
@Id int,
@inlanguageid INT,
@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),

set @inFileSize = 28796
set @Id= 1
set @inlanguageid =null

I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
can somebody explain me how I can assign a NULL value to a datetime type field in the script transformation editor in a data flow task. In the script hereunder, Row.Datum1_IsNull is true, but still Row.OutputDatum1 will be assigned a value '0001-01-01' which generates an error (not a valid datetime). All alternatives known to me (CDate("") or Convert.ToDateTime("") or Convert.ToDateTime(System.DBNull.Value)) were not successful. Leaving out the ELSE clause generates following error: Error: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.
My query "select blah, blah, rank from tablewithscores" will return results that can legitimately hold nulls in the rank column. I want to order on the rank column, but those nulls should appear at the bottom of the list
i have query which does the following select x from y where t = "House"x is an integer. If no record is found, how do i get it to return 0 rather than null?
Hi I have an sql statement that when i put through the query builder and specify NULL it returns all the rows. if i put 0 it returns nothing.how can i change the "IS Null" part of the statement to work with 0. so when i specify 0 for all values it returns all the rows.so i want 0 to work like NULL does 1 SELECT LocationID, TypeID, Title, Description, PropertyID, Price, 2 (SELECT Location 3 FROM Location_Table 4 WHERE (Property_Table.LocationID = LocationID)) AS Location, 5 (SELECT TypeOfProperty 6 FROM Type_Table 7 WHERE (Property_Table.LocationID = TypeID)) AS TypeOfProperty 8 FROM Property_Table 9 WHERE (@MinPrice IS NULL) AND (@MaxPrice IS NULL) AND (@TypeID IS NULL OR 10 TypeID = @TypeID) AND (@LocationID IS NULL OR 11 LocationID = @LocationID) OR 12 (@MinPrice IS NULL) AND (@TypeID IS NULL OR 13 TypeID = @TypeID) AND (@LocationID IS NULL OR 14 LocationID = @LocationID) AND (Price <= @MaxPrice) OR 15 (@MaxPrice IS NULL) AND (@TypeID IS NULL OR 16 TypeID = @TypeID) AND (@LocationID IS NULL OR
I am working on a web application for a company that uses an existing company database. I just found out before the long weekend that a couple hundred of the items in the table aren't completely related.
I am mostly using 2 tables for the project: ItemVersion, ItemVersionRev
ItemVersion has fields: ItemVersion, ItemNumber, RecordID ItemVersionRev has fields: RecordID, RevNumber
All of the items in the database have ItemNumbers (obviously) and most have revision numbers (RevNumber). One of the functions that I created for my application finds the MaxOfRevNumber. I ran a query on the database and saw that dreaded error screen that read "There is no row at position 0"
The query that I have now simply returns MaxOfRevNumber. Is there a way to program a query to check and see if an ItemNumber has a Revision and depending on the result, return a certain value. For example, if there is not a corresponding RevNumber, then return 0 as the RevNumber?
Hello all I am trying to run a sql statement, (without having to run stored procedures), that will lookup a value stored in a Record.field., otherwise ignore the value if it is blank. I have a field tied to a Microsoft Access form - ItemLocation. If the user selects a unique ItemLocation the report will attempt to locate all values within that ItemLocation. If the user decides to leave the field blank, I would like for it to return all values for every ItemLocation. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. I will attach code. My problem is the last line of this SQL statement. If F.ITemLocation is null, I get no data. I would like for it to return everything. Thank you.

I have this program that I want to invoke from SQLServer funny thing is I can invoke this from command line but could not get it to work via 'xp_cmdshell' on this particular server. When I invoke run the following from SQLServer Query Analyser I always get 'NULL' returned. I tried just running EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'dir ' and it worked, so I am certain it is not a SQL rights problem.
FYI, I executed the same code on another machine and it worked. I just cannot figure out why it is not working on this one server? Can anyone help? thanks
I have this table 'Request' in which there's 2 fields 'RequestName' and 'DateSubmitted'. The datatype for 'DateSubmitted' is datetimn.
I have to write a query to extract all the 'RequestName' that falls under each month based on the 'DateSubmitted'.
For example, the table 'Request' has 12 rows, each row ('DateSubmitted') with the month of the year. Like row1 = January, row2 = February etc.
For each month, I have to extract all the 'RequestName' for that month based on 'DateSubmitted' field. My query is like this:
select RequestName, datename(month, DateSubmitted)as month from Request where datename(month, DateSubmitted) = 'March'.
By right it should return just one row right?
Instead, it returned me all 12 rows, only one row with value 'March' and the other 11 rows with value 'NULL'. Even if the other 11 rows have value of other months, when i run the above query, it will return me null.

SQL Server 2000 SP3.Is it possible for the @@ROWCOUNT function to return NULL after astatement? I am troubleshooting a relatively large stored procedure withmultiple SELECT statements and a couple of INSERTs into table variables.Immediately after each statement I save the value returned by @@ROWCOUNT toa local variable. That information eventually is passed back to the clientvia one output parameter, for all statements in the procedure.Occasionally, the value returned via that parameter is NULL. This cannot bereproduced by re-running the SP with the same input parameters.Before doing any further troubleshooting, I would like to rule out thepossibility that @@ROWCOUNT can actually return a NULL under somecircumstances. From searching the archives, it appears that in SQL Server7.0 this could happen in the context of a DML query on a table withtriggers. This is not the case here - the only DML queries are INSERTs intotable variables, all other queries in the SP are SELECTs.Any related information would be appreciated.--remove a 9 to reply by email

I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
Hello, I have a stored procedure that accepts a number of different input parameters that populate some variables in my stored procedure. I want to have this stored procedure return nothing if some of these variables aren't filled out (they are populated by a search page the user fills out). I'm not very familiar with writing stored procedures, so any help you can give me is appreciated. Thanks!
I'm trying to ensure that only of the parameters is passed to my stored procedure.
BOL says that the IS [NOT] NULL operator (language construct?) will return a boolean. An IF statement takes an expression which results in a boolean so I was surprised to find that the below code doesn't parse.

Can anyone please advise on how to return back a null value. Currently, my only other option is to return nothing (actually returns 0) and then wrap this up to convert the value to null - not ideal.
