From standard SELECT need to display specific column values normally, together with any NULLs in the same column not as NULL. My below effort parses however does not change to <new_value>.
SELECT[Server],
[db_name],
(CASE WHEN last_db_bkup_date IS NULL THEN '<new_value>' ELSE last_db_bkup_date END) AS last_bkup_date, [Backup Age (Hours)]
FROM [tbl]
When i do a select on my emplee table for rows with null idCompany i dont get any records
I then try to modify the table to not allow a null idCompany and i get this error message:
'Employee (aMgmt)' table
- Unable to modify table.
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'idCompany', table 'D2.aMgmt.Tmp_Employee'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
This sux
Documentation states that you can set the Default Value for a column which is to be used whenever a row with a null value is inserted into the table. However, it appears that the column ends up as NULL regardless of this setting when inserted field has a value of NULL.
We have a stored procedure that accepts parameters for each column on the table and initializes the incoming parameter to NULL. It then inserts the row into the table. Table definition allows NULLs in the columns, but has a Default Value of ''.
Are we missing a setting somewhere?
Hi
I am using this query to alter a table
ALTER TABLE myTable ADD age int NULL DEFAULT(0)
But above query is adding age field by storing Nulls but not with default values
So I need to add age field to the table by storing default value as 0 and by allowing Nulls
Please advice
Thanks
What is the T-SQL command to check for NULL or '' in a field in one statement? I would like to change the following code to be more readable (without the OR).

Hi,This should be straight forward, but I've searched high and low on the net.I have a FORM which allows me to INSERT data, SQL Server 2005 backend. I populate the all the mandatory fields. But when I click on the Insert button, it won't let me save and says:Column 'PERSONAL_ID' does not allow nullsI'm
using tableadapters, business logic layers etc. and pausing clearly
shows that the values from the form are being passed to the procedure
that I have created "AddNewRecord". And PERSONAL_ID is definitely not
NULL! It fails on Line 971: Me.Rows.Add(row)PERSONAL_ID
is a primary key which I generate. The pause also shows that for
PERSONAL_ID it says " {"Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String'
is not valid."}Function AddNewRecord looks like this:<System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute(System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Insert, True)> _

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to select the default value of a particular column but can't seem to find the syntax for this anywhere. It's a rather peculiar situation where it's needed...
Thanks
select * from CurrencyMaster where default=true
invalid syntax near keyword default.
I'm working on a join between two tables where I only want one row returned... I'm matching on two columns between two tables. One of those columns in the target table could be null. I only want one record returned.
create table #vehicle(id int, vehiclemake varchar(10), vehiclemodel varchar(10), classtype varchar(1))
create table #class(id int, classtype varchar(1), value int)
insert into #vehicle values(1, 'AUDI', 'R8', 'A')
insert into #vehicle values(2, 'AUDI', null, 'B')
insert into #class values(1, 'A', 100)
insert into #class values(2, 'B', 1)
[Code] ....
Using the above example, if VehicleModel is anything other than 'R8' is specified then I want it to return the other class type record.
This is going to be used as a join within a bigger statement, so I'm not sure ordering and returning top 1 is going to work.

I have been battling this for 2 days! I could write a book on what does not work. I have even tried entering the data manually through the 'Open Table' SSMS function from the Object Explorer. I only have 5 records in the table. The first 4 I added a week or so ago during dev from the ASP.Net 2.0 (w VB) website that is the front end for this DB. I use a DAL between the site and DB.I added two new fields the other day and everything seemed to work fine. Now I get 'Siteid CANNOT BE NULL'. I abandoned attempts to Insert from the Website. The following was done directly through SSMS.I switched all of the columns (except PK) to allow nulls. I could add/update a record, no problem, even with directly typed data in some fields. I could also add one with only one field populated (some have defaults, some do not).Here is the table code:USE [bro122]GO/****** Object: Table [dbo].[tbsaDrem] Script Date: 10/31/2007 18:46:34 ******/SET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOSET ANSI_PADDING ONGOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbsaDrem]([DremID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,[CustID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_CustID] DEFAULT ((0)),[RealityYN] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_ContractYN] DEFAULT ((0)),[DreamName] [varchar](30) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_DreamName] DEFAULT ('New (Modify Name)'),[SiteID] [int] NOT NULL,[SitePremPric] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_SiteBasePric] DEFAULT ((0)),[NbhdBasePric] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_NbhdBasePric] DEFAULT ((0)),[PlanCtlgID] [int] NOT NULL,[PlanPric] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_PlanPric] DEFAULT ((0)),[SpecTotl] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_SpecTotl] DEFAULT ((0)),[DremTotl] AS ((([NbhdBasePric]+[SitePremPric])+[PlanPric])+[SpecTotl]) PERSISTED,[Modified] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_Modified] DEFAULT (getdate()),[ModUser] [varchar](25) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_ModUser] DEFAULT ('None'),[Created] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaScenario_CreatedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()),[ts] [timestamp] NOT NULL,CONSTRAINT [PK_tbsaDremID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([DremID] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 60) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GOSET ANSI_PADDING OFFGOEXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name=N'MS_Description', @value=N'This is flagged with a Trigger when a Dream becomes a Reality.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'll preface this by saying I'm pretty new to SSIS; I'm coming over from Coldfusion and don't have much DTS experience to draw from either. That said....
I've got a package that I run to migrate data from a bunch of older databases into a "flat" new schema. The new schema is not identical to the old, in other words, so it's not a simple mapping of existing columns. All the data flow tasks have finally gotten to a working state, with much trial-and-error. Now, suddenly one of the tasks is throwing this error:
"...Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'the_id', table 'the_table'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails."
The column is an identity column in the new table; it is NOT NULL as it is the primary key. I've triple-checked that identity is on. Basically it's generated anew each time this package is run. In the data flow task, mappings are set to ignore for this column; also, Keep identity and Keep nulls are on (although since this column is not in the source I can't see how this affects anything.)
(***For anyone wondering why in the heck I'd need this column at all, offhand I can't recall if later tasks use it or not...I'm actually wondering if it's even needed in this read-only table if it's not used as a foreign key somewhere else...however, I'd like to figure out this issue regardless... )
I've had a hard time finding anyone with the same problem out there...usually people with NULL issues simply are trying to insert into a NOT NULL column. The big difference here is that the column is identity.
Thanks,
Rick

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Well here's one of those excruciatingly simple obstacles:
In SQL Server 2005 (Mgmt Studio): according to BOL, the syntax to set a default value for an existing column is:
ALTER TABLE MyCustomers ALTER COLUMN CompanyName SET DEFAULT 'A. Datum Corporation'
However, when I Check:
alter table CommissionPayment alter column Amount Set Default 0
I get the error message:
"Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Set'."
No other combinations of this syntax work.

CREATE TABLE #Dateissue
(ID int,
Code nvarchar (20),
Datein datetime,
Declined datetime )
[Code] .....
I have a table here. I want find a way of getting the latest date, when the code is the same. If the Declined date is null. Then I still want the latest date. E.g. ID 3.
If the declined date is filled in. Then I want to get the row, when the Datein column value is greater then the declined date only.
I tried grouping it by max date, but i got an error message when trying this out. Against the code
WHERE MAX(Datein) > Declined
An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference. What do I need to do to get both my outputs working?
I have a UDF that returns a char(10) random value. This runs fine when calling it directly via Query Analyzer, Stored Procs, etc.
I now want to create a new column in a table (via the Table Designer) and want to set the default value to the function. I have entered dbo.f_myfunction() for "Default Value", but I get an error:
Unable to modify table.

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 51 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
The function is in the same database as the table. This is all on my local database where I am the admin.

Hi
I have a table with the list of employee and 15 column with data type float or money , that represent the number of hours, airfare,gas,parking food, etc....
I have 2 choice:
-Put 0 as a default value for each column, like that I do not have to use coalesce when I do SUM for each column.
-Leave the default value null but I will have to use coalesce.
In term of performance, what is the best solution?
Thanks
