I want to remove the nulls from the result set so the result is 1 line. Code and results are below:
SELECT
CustomerNumber,
(case when yearseq = 2012 then isnull(sum(mainPower),0)+isnull(sum(sidePower),0)+isnull(Sum(leftPower),0)
+isnull(Sum(netappPower),0)+isnull(Sum(rightPower),0)+isnull(Sum(lowerPower),0) end) as '2012',
(case when yearseq = 2013 then
[Code] ....
What can I do to my code to remove the Nulls to the entire result is just 1 line?
I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.
For example:
The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"
I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.
Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.
I have two tables one list changes of hospital ward and one lists changes of consultant doctor. These can change independently ie a ward change can occur without a consultant change and vice versa. I want to summarise these changes to give the status at each date_serial value.
select date_serial,consultant_id,null as ward_id from #temp_consultant_episode union select date_serial,null as consultant_id,ward_id from #temp_ward_stay
I have a query below which filters detail field in the #TempLogins table. The details field is a text field which contains many types of text strings, some containing urls that have parts like "ResultID=5" which is what is contained in the ResultIDSearch and ResultSetIDSearch fields. The records with entries like "ResultID=5" are the ones I'm trying to filter for.
The problem I have is that the query takes way too long to run. The TempLogin table has around 200 K records and the TempSearch table has around 80 K records.
select * from #TempLogins a where exists (select 1 from #TempSearch t1 where a.detail like '%' + t1.ResultIDSearch + '%' or a.detail like '%' + t1.ResultSetIDSearch + '%')
Another table called Address with the following fields:
Id_Address Ds_Street
I want to make the relationship between these tables so that when deleting a related field address in Person is set to null.the SQL Server allows me to make this relationship in only one field.A person can live and work in the same place. If I delete her address, I want the two Individual fields are set to null.
I've got a query on a particular table returning an odd result:
SELECT DISTINCT WorkStation FROM Invoice WHERE WorkStation Is Not Null ORDER BY WorkStation
This query returns the rows I'd expect plus a null row. This doesn't happen in databases at other sites, or in other tables at this site. The following query behaves as I'd expect returning only non-null AccountNumbers.
SELECT DISTINCT AccountNumber FROM Suppliers WHERE AccountNumber Is Not Null ORDER BY AccountNumber
I can't reproduce these results on another site on a table of the same structure, or on another table at this site.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on?

I am stuck on a query where I need to display all the month year values even if the corresponding count_booking values are NULL. The requirement is to display the 13 month year period from current date.
For e.g. if the date exists in the current month then starting from May 15 go all the way back to Apr 14.
My current query works in terms of displaying all the 13 months if the count_booking values exist for all the months. However, if some months are missing the values then those months don't show up.how to display all the months even if the values are NULL ? Query below:
SELECT COUNT(m.BOOKING_ID) AS count_booking, LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH, m.CREATE_DT), 3) + ' ' + RIGHT('00' + CAST(YEAR(m.CREATE_DT) AS VARCHAR), 2) AS month_name FROM MG_BOOKING AS m WHERE (m.CREATE_DT >= DATEADD(m, - 13, GETDATE()))
Should data type money allow nulls? Are there valid arguments both pro and con?
Yes, there is the age-old question regarding how one might interpret a NULL found in any column - does it mean the amount is not known or that the amount is zero (in the case of a numeric type)? You get the drift...
Other than that, though - are there any practical considerations an old data hound ought to be aware of?
Is there a way to ignore a column/variable when the whole result set for the applied filter (where) is null?
Not all clients have data for every variable, i.e. some variables are client specific. There are too many variables and clients to amend the select query every time so I just want to ignore a col if its null.
I hope that makes sense (my inability to describe it might explain my inability to find anything related to it!)
The next step would be to run all clients' data in one go using, I believe, a cursor, but one step at a time!
I have a query where one or more of the columns returned is a resultfrom a subquery. These columns get their own alias. I want to filterout the rows containing NULL from the subqueries but it just won'twork. When running columnAlias IS NOT NULL i just get the error"Invalid column name 'columnAlias'.This is the query:SELECT k.UserId, k.Lastname, k.Firstname,(SELECT kscr.answer FROM Results kscr WHERE kscr.UserID =k.UserID) AS myColumnAliasFROM Users kWHERE myColumnAlias IS NOT NULL)When running without the WHERE clause, I get the following results:UserId Lastname Firstname myColumnAlias113 Norman Ola jepps820 Karlsen Kjell830 Pens Jens juubidooWhat I want is to get rid of UserId=820. What am I doing wrong?
Hello guys I have a very simple query that is to be used to verify what users have access to what servers. Here it is:
/* SQL Server & Windows NT login name, security access */ USE master go SELECT name, loginname, sysadmin, securityadmin, serveradmin, setupadmin, @@SERVERNAME FROM syslogins WHERE status != 0 AND ((sysadmin = 1) OR (securityadmin =1) OR (serveradmin =1) OR (setupadmin = 1))
I would like to know how to stop the columns that have a null or 0 value from being returned to me. I don't want to see a bunch of 0s since almost no users do have these privaleges, I'd rather have that be hidden. Do I need to create a view for this? Thank You!
In a query in SQL server 2005 I have a column LastName + ', ' + FirstName.All works fine except when a LastName or FirstName = NULL then the result is NULL.How do I get around this?ThanksA Newbie to SQL.
If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE( ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL, LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName) VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL FROM MYOTHERTABLE

Except that now I am trying to connect and update to an Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient) via VB 2008 Express; specifically a table called €œHexMap€? that contains some columns that I am ready to insert some row data into. Here is what my program should do:
As I hover over a hexagon map of the US a red flickering hexagon follows the location of my mouse cursor. If I click on a given hexagon, the program draws a permanent blue hexagon, and sends a new set of row data into my database. Such information as the name of the state, row, column, center x, and center y, etc. Here is a quick snapshot of this program in action:

I think I am missing something since I appear to be able to connect successfully to the database table. Unfortunately, I never see the changes in the database, when I try to Show Table Data (via Database Explorer). I am hoping someone will review my code snippet (below) and tell me what I am missing. What happens when I run this code is that it acts like it works just fine, except that I have no indication that any changes were actually affected.

I'm trying to import some XLS files that I receive from some suppliers. The problem is that every time they send some columns with text values but formatted as number. When I read those columns with SSIS Excel Source, they come all with null values.
I don't want to change the columns data types every time, so I would like to know if there's a way to bypass the column types that are already there.
I tried to use both the Jet driver and the Office 12 driver. I've already used the IMEX=1 on ExtendedProperties too with no success. Is there a way to force reading the columns as text, even if they have data types assigned to them?
There are a few features in the new SQL Server - Reporting Services that I really need in production. I have tested everything and it works great. I am running the CTP version since Microsoft is saying they aren't releasing the release version until 3rd quarter 2008.
Since Microsoft won't sell SQL 2008 until 3rd quarter, can I run the CTP in production until the release and then purchase SQL 2008?
Hello - does anyone have experience w/SQL Server 2005 in a virtual environment? I'm considering this for a production environment but not sure if performance will suffer. Our databases will have a lot of writing but not too much reading. A SSRS solution is currently the only app. connecting to the SQL db. Max users to server at any given time will be very low (~10 users max). But the databases are pulling in data from other, outside multiple data sources on a daily basis.
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
declare
@inFileName VARCHAR (100),
@inFileSize INT,
@Id int,
@inlanguageid INT,
@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),
@ExeState int
set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'
set @inFileSize = 28796
set @Id= 1
set @inlanguageid =null
set @inFileVersion =NULL
set @ExeState =0
select Dr.StateID from table1 dR
where
DR.[FileName] = @inFileName
AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize
AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)
Hello! Recently, I set up server with Windows Web Server 2008 RC1, SQL 2008 Express beta, .NET 3.5, IIS 7. I'm running ASP.NET web application with SQL database. Everything works fine until the first application state on the server expires. After that, any postback that starts a new application state on the server and connects to the database, results in the following error: Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed. Is this a bug that will be fixed in release of Windows / SQL or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks for help, Jan
SQL Upgrading to VS05 Pro SP1/SqlExpress (from VS03 Pro/SQL MSDE)
Question 1) €“ is there a way to tell which version of the SQL Express was installed? I think it is €œSQL Server 2005 Express Edition With Advance Services€?, but don€™t know how to confirm that.
Question 2) - SQL Server Management Studio Express, Registered Servers, it shows : Database Engine sqlexpress (note the lower case) If I right click and choose €œPreviously Registered Servers€?, it shows a message that I will be displaying SQL Server 2000 (i.e. MSDE) server names, and it shows SQL Server Group SQLEXPRESS (note the upper case) CSOLUTION
I wish to completely remove CSOLUTION (in MSDE you would uninstall it from the Control Panel), but right clicking and choosing the delete option does nothing (it does not delete it). Deleting SQL Server Group also has no affect either. How do I remove CSOLUTION ?
Question 3) - In the VS05 program, the SQL connection string includes €œData Source=.SQLEXPRESS€¦.€? (NOTE UPPER CASE) Why do I have a lower case and an upper case listed above? Starting/stopping one sqlexpress/ SQLEXPRESS does the same to the other. Don€™t I wan€™t to complete delete anything under SQL Server Group since it represents SQL Server 2000 (i.e. MSDE) server names? SQL Server 2000 and CSOLUTION have been uninstalled from this machine.
I downloaded the €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 Express CTP, February 2008€? from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=749BD760-F404-4D45-9AC0-D7F1B3ED1053&displaylang=en
I simply replaced the 2005 file €œSQLEXPR.EXE€? with the 2008 file €œ€?, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail. I than read the 2008 books online and noted the change in command line options.
I then changed the command line to suit the Microsoft 2008 books online, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail once more.
Interestingly I tested the install from the default GUI and at the point of adding the €œsa€? login credentials it fails to allow the installation to proceed. Strangely by selecting the windows authentication credentials, €œnext€? than €œback€? it now allows me to add the €œsa€? login credentials and continues to install correctly as required.
I hope I have explained this clearly enough.
1. Is this a bug in the €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 CTP, February 2008€? installation? 2. If so is this causing the command line install options to fail? 3. How do I obtain a version of €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 Express€? that will work installing from the command line?
Hi all, i encountered this problem.. whenever i tried to create publications it always prompt me this error msg "sql server replications does not support nicknames,such "." or "(local)". i know i need to delete the registration and register a new server with a different name.. i just want to double confirm whether deleting the registration will affect the databases or not ? :
