Select Qry: 1 Real Value To Formatted Decimal, 2. Replace NULL With String, How Do I?
Jun 14, 2005
Hi.
1.
Have a query that fetches a real value (e.g. 4.3345643)
Let say the field is called TheReal.
How can I format the value in the select statement so I get a thousand separator(s) and two decimals in the resultset.
2. In the same query I have a left join as well.
Table 2 retur (sometimes) <NULL>.
Is it possible to force this <NULL> value to be a fixed string value instead in the select statement.

The string column value looks like as below. Each value has a size of 15 withing a string
'2.2020 30 4.0000'
The column value should match with user input as below. The result should show equal when it is compared. Currently, it results not equal since it is a string comparision. The last digit '0' needs to be ignored for decimal values.
'2.202 30 4.0'
I need to handle the decimal values in such a way, if staring value with '.' and last digit is 0 then replace with space ''. So, it should look like
'2 2 2 30 4 ' = '2 2 2 30 4 '
When this string is compared, it results in EQUAL.
I tried the below logic, which even replaces the integer value like 30 to 3 and 3000 to 3 and results in equal which is incorrect.
RTRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(RT1.rate,'''+@DOT+''','''+@S PACE+'''), '''+@ZERO+''', '''+@SPACE+''')) = '''+REPLACE(REPLACE(@Rate,'.',' '), '0', ' ')+''' '
Ex:'2.2020 300 4.00' = '2.20200 30 4.0'
After replace, string looks like
Ex:'2 2 2 3 4 ' = '2 2 2 3 4 '
It results as EQUAL which is incorrect. I need only decimal value to be replaced not integer.
I am looking for a single string replace logic.

Ok.. so I have a fixed position data feed. I read the file in as just whole rows initially, process a specific position and evaluate a conditional split to determine direction of the file for proper processing (file contains multiple recors with different layouts). This all works fine. I then use the derived column feature to process all the columns.
Most of the columns are as simple as SUBSTRING(RecordData,1,10) for example to get the first column. This all works for string data. I then have a column that is a date field. The problem occurs that the code SUBSTRING(RecordData,20,10) returns either a date or empty set of data if no date was in the original file. When this gets sent to the OLEDB connection (SQL Server 2005) into the date field it fails. If the record has a date it works, but if it is empty it fails the insert.
I tried to replace empty strings with NULLs with this code. REPLACE(TRIM(SUBSTRING(RecordData,20,10)),"",NULL(DT_WSTR,10)). This does not work. So my question is how do I bring a date field from a fixed flat file into a SQL datetime field using a derived column? More specifically is how do I set it to NULL if its empty data? When I use the above code it inserts all the rows from the file, but it sets all rows to NULL not just the empty ones.
Thanks.

Hello,I'm a beginner in SQL and I have been searching through the SQL Cookbook and Google but I can't seem to find an example of what I want to do. I want to create a report that will return names and emails using two of my tables. I want to use the email in my primary table in the select but if it is null or empty I want to replace it with an email from my secondary table. Below is what I would like to do but I got a syntax error with it in SQL Server 2000. SELECT MemberID As ID, MemberFirstName As FirstName, MemberLastName As LastName, (IF MemberEmail = '' THEN SELECT TOP 1 OtherEmail FROM OtherTable WHERE OtherID = MemberID) As EmailFROM PrimaryTableThanks for your time.Jason

I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)

Ok, when I bind a textbox in my FormView I'm changing the format to
currency (<%# Bind("TotalValue","{0:c}") %>). When I click
Update I get "Input string was not in a correct format" since
TotalValue is Int32 data type.
Shouldn't it convert it back to Int32 when it updates the db? Or do I have to do it manually, and if so how?

Hey there,
I have a field called renew_date which is of (int) type, and represents a date in the format 'yyyymmdd'.
Eg. If the renew date were yesterday the field would contain: 20080525.
I need a select statment that will determine if the date contained in this field is '<' todays date.
I have wrote a select statement that works, however I'm wondering if there is a better way to handle this.
select * from sometable
where renew_date <
convert(int, convert(varchar, DATEPART(yyyy, getDate())) +
convert(varchar, Right('0' + Convert(VarChar(2), DATEPART(mm, getDate())),2)) +
convert(varchar, Right('0' + Convert(varchar(2), DATEPART(dd, getDate())),2)))
Any help you may provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I define the sql-query:
SELECT myColumn FROM myPersonsTable WHERE myColumn=@FirstName
then I declare some SqlParameters like:
SqlParameter par=new SqlParameter();
par.ParameterName="@FirstName";
par.Value="John";
mySqlCommand.Parameters.Add(par);
Showing the mySqlCommand.CommandString it will look like:
(A) SELECT myColumn FROM myPersonsTable WHERE myColumn=@FirstName
Is this the real string that is send to the Database (among with some hidden string "John")?...
...or does the real string which is send to the Database look like:
(B) SELECT myColumn FROM myPersonsTable WHERE myColumn='John'
???
If so, where can I retrieve that last string (B)?
Or is (A) the way 'transact sql' operates?

I need to separate the data from one column in to two columns based on the transaction type TRAN_TYPE (C is credit, D is Debit)
TRAN-TYPE| AMOUNT
C 20.00
D 30.00
C 50.00
To do that I have this code:
select
CASE WHEN TRAN_TYPE = 'D'THEN CAST (ISNULL(amount, 0) as varchar (30)) end as DEBIT,
CASE WHEN TRAN_TYPE = 'c'THEN CAST (ISNULL(amount, 0) as varchar (30)) end as CREDIT
FROM HISTORY
And my output is:
DEBIT | CREDIT
----------------
NULL | 20.00
------|-------
30.00 | NULL
------|-------
NULL | 50.00
------|-------

Can a Trigger be created to automatically replace NULL values with "-"? Suppose I have an Entry Form with 20 Text Boxes. I don't want to code in my application. I want that when an Insert Query is executed, a BEFORE/AFTER TRIGGER should be executed to replace the NULL values coming from Insert QUery to "-".
I also want to know whether to use a Trigger or a Function/Stored Procedure.

Hi all. Just a quick question for you guys...I did a search on Select @@identity and I'm not sure I understand it. The program I'm migrating over (from sql server to oracle) has "Select @@identity" at the end of some insert statements. I'm just tryin to figure out what this does and what the Oracle equivlant would be? i have read posts(or in this case a blog) like this http://weblog.anthonyeden.com/archives/000054.html that states it gives you the value of the PK.
I've also read this http://www.kamath.com/tutorials/tut007_identity.asp stating select @@identity is handy to use as a "connection specific global variable." This all makes sense, however in the code I am examining select @@identity is not assigned to any variable. Basically, my question is if select @@ identity is not assigned to a variable in your code, what use does putting it at the end of a select statement serve? thank you

Dear Community,We have a problem with null-Bytes in varchar-Columns, which are nothandled correctly in our application. Therefor we try to filter themout using the Transact-SQL REPLACE function.The Problem was, that the REPLACE-function didn't behave the way weexpected.Following Example demonstrates the behavior:declare @txt varchar(512)declare @i intset @txt = 'hello ' + char(0) + 'world'print @txtset @i = 1while @i <= len(@txt)beginprint str(@i) + substring(@txt, @i, 1)set @i = @i + 1endprint 'Length: ' + str(len(@txt))print 'trying to replace null-byte:'print replace(@txt, char(0), '*')print 'replace Letter h'print replace(@txt, 'h', char(39))-- end exampleOutput:hello1h2e3l4l5o678w9o10r11l12dLength: 12trying to replace null-byte:*replace Letter h'elloThe Null-Byte replace destroys the whole string. This behavior occursonly on some of ourdatabases. The others work correctly.Is it possible that it depends on some server setting?ThanksEnno

We have a case where in we should show date based on conditions for e.g if we had a column defined as
col varchar(10) then we would show col as 'NULL' for some condition and actual value when no condition
Normaly date values are stored here e.g under col 20150901 .
Case
when col>'20150901' then 'NULL'
else col
end as Derivedcol
Note this is an extract process and we are presenting data by pumping the data in a table .
Now there is another similar column -colz varchar(10) which stores date but doesnt have case condition so whenever date has no value its shows null which is database null.
So whats the difference between database null and string null ?
How can we show database null for the case condition instead of string "null"?
