Hello again! I'm having yet another problem with my code.
CASE Kit WHEN 'Y' THEN '(Kit)' WHEN 'N' THEN '' END + ' ' +
CASE cream WHEN 'Y' THEN '(cream)' WHEN ' N' THEN '' END + ' ' +
CASE Phone WHEN 'Y' THEN '(Phone)' WHEN 'N' THEN '' END
The problem that I am running into is that if one of the values comes up as NULL the whole field is NULL. am i doing something wrong?
I'm running the following test query on a single table:
SELECT sph.datestamp, sph.stocksymbol, sph.closing, DATENAME(dw, sph.datestamp), CASE DATENAME(dw, sph.datestamp)Â Â Â WHEN 'Monday' then 'Monday'Â Â ELSE (SELECT CAST(sph2.datestamp AS nvarchar) FROM BI_Test.dbo.StockDB AS sph2 WHERE sph2.DateStamp = DATEADD(d, -1, sph.datestamp) AND sph2.StockSymbol = 'NYA')Â END AS TestCase,
[Code] ....
And here's an example of the output I'm getting:
Why the exact same subquery in the THEN of the second CASE statement is returning NULL when the first one completes as expected?
I have a query that pulls a list of organizations. I'm trying to use a CASE statement to add a column of names based on the relationship of the individual to that organization. It is possible for two people at the organization to both have that relationship to the organization. Currently, when I pull my results, I get all the individual's names for all the organizations, but I'm also getting a row where there is no name, something like:
Some of the organizations, they have no one with the relationship, but for all the organizations that do have someone in the position I want to not see the blank row. My case statement is:
CASE WHEN EXISTS (Select ind_customer.cst_key WHERE ixo_rlt_code = 'Relationship' ) THEN ind_customer.cst_ind_full_name_dn ELSE '' END AS 'FULL NAME'
The code below returns the members who have accounts that are inactive, and works correctly. It returns the memberid, but returns null values for the barcode values. I am explicitly looking for unmatched rows, i.e. the LEFT OUTER JOIN will return joined member-address rows which do not have a matching account, according to the ON conditions, and these are the ones I want because of that WHERE condition. Therefore account.barcode will always be NULL too.
Is there to perform the same query and return account details? I have tried running a query to return just the memberid values and then perform a second query to match the account details, but this is very ineffecient and slow.
select member.memberid, account.barcode FROM member INNER JOIN address ON address.MemberID = member.Memberid LEFT OUTER JOIN account ON account.Memberid = member.MemberID AND account.enddate >= current_date AND account.closed = 0 WHERE account.Memberid is null AND member.isDeleted = 0
I've got the following query in SQL 2000:select a.SSN, a.MonthName, a.IMClinicDay,b.IMClinicDay as SecondDayfrom tblResidentRotations ainner join view7 bon a.SSN = b.SSNwhere a.AcademicYear = '2004-2005' and a.SSN = '999999999' anddatename(month, a.IMClinicDateFirst) = b.MonthNameThis query returns a resultset like this:<SSN> <Month> <a.IMClinicDay> <SecondDay>999999999 July Friday PM Tuesday PM999999999 September Tuesday PM Friday PM999999999 October None Friday PM999999999 November Friday PM Tuesday PM999999999 January Tuesday PM Friday PM999999999 April Friday PM Monday PM....and so onFor some of the months, there is a null value for "b.IMClinicDay". Forexample, it's null for August, December, and February. I want myresultset to look like this:<SSN> <Month> <a.IMClinicDay> <SecondDay>999999999 July Friday PM Tuesday PM999999999 August Tuesday PM null999999999 September Tuesday PM Friday PM999999999 October None Friday PM999999999 November Friday PM Tuesday PM999999999 December Tuesday PM null999999999 January Tuesday PM Friday PM999999999 February Friday PM null999999999 April Friday PM Monday PM....and so onHow can I return a null for these days? Thanks for any help oradvice.
i have 2 stored procedures: a delete and a select. the delete sp returns the rowcount properly. the select returns null. the code for both sp's is extremely simple and extremely similar. when i execute the select sp in server management studio the rowcount shows a 1 as expected. but the calling method gets null. SP Code ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[RetrieveEmployeeKeyFromAssignmentTable] @assignmentPrimaryKey int, @rowCount int OUTPUT AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT employeePrimaryKey FROM assignmentTable WHERE primaryKey = @assignmentPrimaryKey; SET @rowCount = @@RowCount; END c# code SqlConnection conn = GetOpenSqlConnection(); if (conn == null) return true; SqlDataReader reader = null; SqlParameter p1 = new SqlParameter(); SqlParameter p2 = new SqlParameter(); try { SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(); command.CommandText = "RetrieveEmployeeKeyFromAssignmentTable"; command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; command.Connection = conn; p1.ParameterName = "@assignmentPrimaryKey"; p1.Value = assignmentPrimaryKey; p2.ParameterName = "@rowCount"; p2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; p2.Value = 0; command.Parameters.Add(p1); command.Parameters.Add(p2); reader = command.ExecuteReader(); if (p2.Value == null) //always true any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks. matt
I have a simple table on my webpage which shows data from my database. It all worked fine apart from one part. I wanted the select statement to select only NULL values from a column, as these are classed as open queries. Once I have closed the query a 0 or 1 will automatically be posted and will no longer have a NULL value. I have a simple select statement (which I will post on here when I log in with my work computer) and at the end I have a WHERE Column = NULL. I have also tried WHERE column <> 0.0 AND column <>1.0 and that did not work. If I only did WHERE column <> 1.0, i only get the 0.0 results and none of the NULL results, but if I have no WHERE statement I get all the results including the NULL values.
I have a table tblnetwork on which identity property is defined on column networkid.
When I issue the following command new record is getting inserted into tblnetwork and identity column is getting incremented properly. But, I am not able to get the @@identity value It is returned as NULL.
Using SQL2000. I want to return the # of columns with non-nullvalues. Here's my query so far:selectcase when Dx1 is not null then 0 else 1 end +case when Dx2 is not null then 0 else 1 end +case when Dx3 is not null then 0 else 1 end +case when Dx4 is not null then 0 else 1 end as DxCountfrom tblClerkshipDataCleanwhere PalmName = @PalmNameThere are 7 rows for the particular PalmName I'm using. The queryreturns a result of 7. However, there are 25 values in Dx1 thru Dx4so the query should be returning 25.What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.
I have a SQL 2005 clustered server which is returning a Null value for @@servername. I find the server entry in sysservers. I have replication configured on this so i am not able to do a Sp_dropserver & sp_addserver as this acts as a publisher. The configured merge repication stopped working because of this issue and I am not able to delete replication as the the delete option uses @@servername which returns a null value. So I am struck in a loop.
I am trying to insert a record to based on the source below, however the GUID of GiftOcc_ID is being returned as zero's so the first record can be added but as it is defined as the primary Key and uniqueidentifier the next record fails with a duplicate entry. Basically how do I ensure that the GUID is created and not nulls. As you can see I am trying to use Newid() which I have inserted as a default value but that does not work. Also as it is a unique identifier the "is identity" is not available
Protected Sub CreateGiftOccasion(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Try Dim null As New Nullable(Of Integer) Dim da As New DataSet2TableAdapters.Gift_OccasionTableAdapter Dim GiftOcc_ID As Guid da.Insert(newid(), Occ_Type_Text.Text, Occ_Desc_Text.Text, Calendar1.SelectedDate, Calendar2.SelectedDate, 1) Catch ex As Exception
I'm still having issues with this despite my attempts to resolve. I even have "with exec as dbo" in my sproc, and and "exec as dbo" in my execution, but still the encrypted data returns nulls when I exec as a user other than DBO. Below is precisely what I have done. All ideas are welcomed.
TIA, ChrisR

I've a package that has a excel source. But i'm having a strange problem with it. One of the columns in the source file have a lot of null values but not all of them. But when i run the package a put a data viewer right after the source and i can see that it's showing that the few fields that should have values are also null. I've tried a lot of things but they didn't work. I need some help and fast if possible. Example: Source file.xls Name Grade OtherGrade John 30 30.23 In the DataViewer Name Grade OtherGrade John 30 NULL
Hi there ; This Problem is goin to make me crazy! I've got a table with couple of fields, 2 of them are DateTime, in Sql Express 05 . I used asp.net 2.0 to insert datetime values, directly, using sth like DateTime.Now.ToString() . i use 2 selects as follows : 1)select * from X where Date1='8/9/2006 11:17:41 AM' 2)select * from X where Date2='8/9/2006 11:17:41 AM' #1 is OK, but the second one returns a row with all columns set to NULL . (X is the name of the table) Thanks in advance
I have a form with two date fields that the user will submit their requested vacation time off with. When they insert it, I am trying to say find the difference between the request_start_date and request_end_date in days MINUS any of the days they would already have off like weekends or holidays that are included in another table. Everything inserts okay, but I am getting null for the request_duration. If I put dates in quotes and run the query it comes back with the right results. If I put the dates in the form and submit it, I get Null for the request_duration. Thank you in advnace for any help on this! INSERTrequest ( emp_id, request_submit_date, request_start_date, request_end_date, request_duration, request_notes, time_off_id ) Select@emp_id, GETDATE(), @request_start_date, @request_end_date, 1 + DATEDIFF(day, @request_start_date, @request_end_date) - (select count(*) from WeekEndsAndHolidays where DayOfWeekDate between @request_start_date and @request_end_date), @request_notes, @time_off_id

We currently have an SQL db running on a web server.One of these fields is a large(ish) amount of text data – up to 400characters – and has been cast variously as varchar, nchar and texttype to overcome a problem. The problem appears to be in retrievingthe data via ASP. I understand that ASP can handle string data of thissize so I am okay there.When the records are retrieved from the db, the data string length =0.I know the data is there because I have written a Delphi data managerwhich interrogates the db and shows all records and their contents.So if ASP can handle strings this size and the data is there, why do Iget a data length of zero bytes returned when I interrogate the recordset?Whichever way I cast this field I get the same result.I know the code is sound as it works locally through a MS SQL serveron my PS.Anyone have this problem or know what's causing it? I have logged asupport call with my hosting company, but they haven't replied as yetand I am stuck on an urgent project.Any suggestions?CheersGrant
I'm running into an issue where if a report retrieves 0 records, I run into an error. My report has 2 queries-- the main query to retrieve Account information and the other to return Contact information based on the contact id(s) returned by the Account query. The reason needing two separate queries is that the contact and account tables are on different databases.
Now here is my account query: select contact_id, username, password from account. My contact query looks like this: select name, address, .... from contact where contact_id = @contact_id.
In my report parameters, I define contact_id like this: ******************************************* name = contact_id data type = integer prompt = [blanked out] hidden = checked internal = checked multi-value = unchecked allow null value = checked allow blank value = unchecked
available values: from query: dataset = account value field = contact_id
label field = contact_id
default values: from query: dataset = account value field = contact_id **********************************************
Now, when I run my report and knowing there are no records, I get the following error: "The 'contact_id' parameter is missing a value". Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Thanks.
I have a stored proc which should be returning a datatable. When I execute it manually it returns all requested results. However, when I call it via code (C#) it is returning a null table which leads me to believe the problem is in my code. I'm not getting any errors during runtime. Any help at all would be a BIG help! private void PopulateControls() { DataTable table = CartAccess.getCart(); } public static DataTable getCart() { DbCommand comm = GenericDataAccess.CreateCommand(); comm.CommandText = "sp_cartGetCart"; DbParameter param = comm.CreateParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@CartID"; param.Value = cartID; param.DbType = DbType.String; param.Size = 36; comm.Parameters.Add(param); DataTable table = (GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(comm)); return table; } public static DataTable ExecuteSelectCommand(DbCommand command) { // The DataTable to be returned DataTable table; // Execute the command making sure the connection gets closed in the end try { // Open the data connection command.Connection.Open(); // Execute the command and save the results in a DataTable DbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(); table = new DataTable(); table.Load(reader); // Close the reader reader.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { Utilities.SendErrorLogEmail(ex); throw ex; } finally { // Close the connection command.Connection.Close(); } return table; }
I'd like to return the following result set: CompanyModules.CompanyID | Modules.Name | Present 1 | A | True 1 | B | True 1 | C | True 2 | A | True 2 | B | False 2 | C | False
What would be the query for this? Thanks.
Edit: This is the query I have tried:
select CompanyModules.CompanyID, Modules.Name, count(Modules.ID) as Present from
CompanyModules RIGHT outer Join Modules on CompanyModules.ModuleID = Modules.ID
group By CompanyModules.CompanyID, Modules.Name
Order by CompanyID
However, it only returns a partial result set:
CompanyModules.CompanyID | Modules.Name | Present 1 | A | 1 1 | B | 1 1 | C | 1 2 | A | 1
I have a xml file downloaded from webAPI which i want to import into my database.There are several sub childnodes and need to combine data between nodes.
SELECT whatever_field, CASE LEN(DrAccount) WHEN 12 THEN DrAccount ELSE CASE (Note1) WHEN NULL THEN Location + DrAccount ELSE Note1 + DrAccount END END AS Account FROM Table1 The purpose of the CASE(Note1) is when Note1 column is null, return Location+DrAccount. The actual result is when Note1 column is null, it always returns null, Location+DrAccount is not executed. When Note1 column is not null, it returns correctly Note1+DrAccount. The problem seems to reside in validating the null value in WHEN NULL How to check for null in CASE(fieldname) WHEN ???

If I am switching the NULL values to hyphens (-), why am I not getting any records when I look for hyphens in the WHERE clause? The script is not as simple as this or else I would just check for NULL values. I really need to switch NULL values to something I can pass on to a variable and query on it from Reporting Services.
I am trying to setup a query that receives input variables one being a number which could be null (could receive as string).
What I want to happen is if a number is sent the data is filtered by that number but if it is empty no filtering is performed I think this involves using a case statement in a where clause but can't work out the syntax I am using sql 200 server.
I think the case statement is something like this: (week_no = CASE @week WHEN null THEN '#' ELSE @week END) or maybe I am way off
I considered using like @inNumber + '%' but this would cause the problem of if I inoput 2 it would also return 20's 200's ...
HiConsider two tablesid1 code1----------- -----1 a2 b3 cid2 code2 value----------- ----- -----------1 a 02 a 13 b 1They are joined on the code field.For each code, I want the maximum corresponding value. If the valuedoesn't exist (corresponding code in second table doesn't exist), I wanta NULL field returned.The result should look like this:code2 value----- -----------a 1b 1c NULLI can't get it to include the NULL row.While there are uniqe ID's in this example, the real life example uses ahorrible four field compound key.Any help would be appreciated.Ger.The above example can be recreated by the following script.DROP table #temp1DROP table #temp2SELECT 1 AS 'id1', 'a' AS 'code1'INTO #temp1UNIONSELECT 2, 'b'UNIONSELECT 3, 'c'SELECT 1 AS 'id2', 'a' AS 'code2', 0 AS valueINTO #temp2UNIONSELECT 2, 'a', 1UNIONSELECT 3, 'b', 1SELECT code2, valueFROM #temp1 t1LEFT JOIN #temp2 t2 ON t1.code1 = t2.code2WHERE CASEWHEN t2.value IS NULL THEN 1WHEN t2.value = 0 THEN 2WHEN t2.value = 1 THEN 3END = (SELECTMAX( CASEWHEN value IS NULL THEN 1WHEN value = 0 THEN 2WHEN value = 1 THEN 3END )FROM#temp2WHEREcode2 = t2.code2)
