Selection With Nulls
Jun 10, 2007
I have this query:
Select
field1, field2
from table1
left
table2 where chdate = AAAAMMGG (a variable I type
whenever I run the query).
Now I want to change the command in red as follows:
where chdate = AAAAMMGG or (if AAAAMMGG is null) the last date
before AAAAMMGG that is not null.
Is there a command called 'MAX' or something like that?
Thank you.

is there an elegant way to use one equals sign in a where clause that returns true when both arguments are null, and returns true when neither is null but both are equal and returns false when only one is null?

I have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.
The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.
The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.
So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).
I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.
Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?
From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.

Thank You for all your help!!!!

Hi
I have CheckBoxList to make my selection as follows:if (CheckBoxList2.SelectedValue == "")
{
strSelect = strSelect;
}else if (CheckBoxList2.SelectedValue == "1")if (strWhere == " where")
{strWhere = strWhere + " pic1 = 'true' ";
}
else
{strWhere = strWhere + " and pic1 = 'true' ";
}if (CheckBoxList2.SelectedValue == "2")if (strWhere == " where")
{strWhere = strWhere + " pic2 = 'true' ";
}
else
{strWhere = strWhere + " and pic2 = 'true' ";
}if (CheckBoxList2.SelectedValue == "3")if (strWhere == " where")
{strWhere = strWhere + " pic3 = 'true' ";
}
else
{strWhere = strWhere + " and pic3 = 'true' ";
}
which mean it will addor remove the fields depends upon the user selection, but it will only select one !!
Thanks in advance

Hi,
First off, let me state that i am new to ASP.net... and have had to hit the ground running... I have looked on the net but have not found a suitable explanation on how to do this.
Let me explain what i am trying to do: In my aspx page, i have 2 dropdown boxes where the user will select a skill catagory, and then a skill. Based on that selection, i would like to compute what the Service line will be. There is a primary and foreign key on CatID on the skills and SkillCat tables. This data would need to be inserted into the another table aswell, and this would need to go into a report later.
How do i go about doing this? Some examples would be greatly appreciated. And if you know of a good link, please post it for me.

I hope I can explain this somewhat coherantly. Here goes..
I have a products database. I want to select product details for items having distinct style codes. IE if there are 20 products that different from one another in some way, and 3 different style numbers throughout them, I want to end up with 3 products selected. I don't care which ones, as long as i have a sample product for each style.
I've attemped to use GROUP BY to do this, but it's not giving me what I want. I managed to get right number of products, but the query seems to have mixed and matched the fields together in an undesireable way. I guess this kinda makes sense, since providing aggregate functions for each of the extra fields is necessary.
SO THE QUESTION IS: How do I select (number of distinct styles) products, and still keep the records in tact as they should be?
Here is a sample...
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Min(team) as team, min(pict) as pict, min(colors) as colors, min(league) as league, min(product_description) as product_description, min(category) as category, min(subcategory) as subcategory, min(style) as style
FROM prods
WHERE (style='style1' or style='style2' or style='style3')
AND league='leaguex'
AND soldout=''
GROUP by style
ORDER by style
Thanks very much for any help!! I'm sure I'm going about this all wrong.

I want to select a date from a datetime type column.
When I use:
Select ExpireDate from myTable Where ExpireDate > 2005-10-12
...I don't get the correct dates
When I use:
Select ExpireDate from myTable Where ExpireDate > '2005-10-12'
...(with the apostrophe, it works correctly. Is there a way this will work correctly without the apostrophies?

Hi,
Can I assume that SQL Server 2000 will always give the result set of a simple query in the same order as the rows inserted into the table ?
Eg :
select *from test
// there is no order by statement Or TOP clause used. Just a simple select query.
Please advise,
Thanks,

Hi,
While playing with SQL Server 2000 I found you can specify the selection criteria in either the FROM clause or the WHERE clause:
e.g.
select *
from Table1 a inner join Table2 b ON a.key = b.key and a.field = 1
Is logically the same as:
select *
from Table1 a inner join Table2 b ON a.key = b.key
where a.a = 1
Any comments on which is best, and why?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi All
Being new to this forum and to SQL, I would to apologise upfront for my clumsy code and explanations as I try and get to grips with this subject.
I have created this query which does work:
SELECT T1.U_Serial,
case
when (U_RDate < GETDATE() AND U_ASDate Is NULL)
then 'NA'
when (U_RDate Is NULL)
then 'No Request'
when (U_ASDate Is Not NULL And U_AEDate Is NULL)
then 'NA'
when (U_ASDate Is Not NULL And U_AEDate Is Not NULL)
then 'A'
when (U_RDate > GETDATE() AND U_ASDate Is NULL)
then 'NA'
else 'DN'
end As Available,
case
when (U_RDate < GETDATE() AND U_ASDate Is NULL)
then 'Late'
when (U_RDate Is NULL)
then 'No Request'
when (U_ASDate Is Not NULL And U_AEDate Is NULL)
then 'Busy'

The tables I’m using are IDH_JOBENTR which is the header records for my jobs and IDH_JOBSHD, which holds the row details for the jobs.
I’m trying to extract from the IDH_JOBSHD table the last (row) detail record for the (header) job.
The way the query works now, the first row for each unique serial number is the record I need, but this is all the info I would like to display I don’t need the other lines, and I don't know how to strip out the rest of the data
I hope this make sense.
Kind regards
Hayden

Hi,
I have the following situation.
I want to create reports with a start date parameter and an end date parameter
In my query i use "where date between @startdate and @enddate"
i configure my parameters so i get a nice calendar when i generate the report.
the problem is when i select for example a date starting 1 april 2007 and enddate 10 april 2007,
the result in my report gives me only the data from 1 until 9 april and not until 10.
in my database the date is stored as a date time (10/04/2007 17:25:30).
Any suggestion how i can solve my problem?
Greetings
Vinnie

we have a data base that have so many tables that tables have a uniqe data but we use another autonumber column as key because this unique data is entered by a human and some mistake could be happened and because of so many relations to this table many changes should be happen during these tables use this primery key(Uniqe data).
Because this primary key doesn't exist in the real world, we should search over the table by the unique data(Which used in the real world) to find the primary key.
for example:
we have a database named "SIS" and a table named "Users". National ID is a column which is unique but it should be entered by human and they may have some mistakes on entering this data so we add ID which is autonumber as a primary key.
The problem here is that users for example want to join in a class we must save it then search over the table to find his id and after that use this key to insert him in a class.

I added a Linked Server, like this:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'ServidorPrincipal',
@srvproduct = 'SQLEXPRESS',
@provider = 'SQLNCLI',
@datasrc = 'TIC-IISQLEXPRESS',
@catalog = 'BDPrincipal'
GO
But now I can't do a selection:
SELECT * FROM ServidorPrincipal.BDPrincipal.dbo.tblCADENA;
Because it sends this message:
Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Column 'ID_CADENA' (compile-time ordinal 1) of object '"BDPrincipal"."dbo"."tblCADENA"' was reported to have changed. The exact nature of the change is unknown].
The linked Server is called "ServidorPrincipal".
The database is: BDPrincipal.
And the table is dbo.tblCADENA.
"changed at execution time" ¿What does it mean?
What is happening here?

Can someone tell me what to do if several NULLS are showing up within tables. Is there an easy step to locate all NULLS and delete them within the table?
Can someone provide detailed infromation on how to delete NULLS within tables. I'm new o the SQL side so I hope I have explained what it is that I'm looking to do. Our in house programmer said that the NULLS maybe causing a problem with the software communicating with the SQL Server software.
