Is there an easy way to send back to my C# program the pascal case of a field type? If you get the parameters or columns for a table or procedure the type is in all lowercase (varchar instead of VarChar). But in C#, it is in an enum (SqlDbType) that has the variables as mixed case so you can't compare them and just pass the type. You need to figure out what the case should be - varchar should be VarChar and bigint should be BigInt.
View 1 RepliesI have a field called PPH and this field type float. so, this field could be null, 0.0, or values. I am using case statement:
[PPH] = case when h.HoursFloat = 0 then 0 else
round(s.Pledges / h.HoursFloat,2) end,
I am trying to add where if h.HourFloat is null then 0 but, it does not work. I have tried different ways such as
[PPH] = CASE isnull (h.HoursFloat,0)
when 0 then 0 else ....
How to add another condition to check on null then 0.

I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.
I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?
I am using a PIVOT function to obtain the Invoice Values, but they appear in different currencies so need to perform a case function.
But am struggling with the syntax;
This fails a syntax check with

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Case'.

I am trying to use this logic into a query:
Select P.S,E.S,E.R
from Pack P(nolock)
join Exp E on P.Id=E.O
on E.R is null
case when E.R is not null then ''
else ''
end
where P.s='PLT000044'
I have to query two conditions joining the tables. when E.R is NULL and when E.R is not null. but the value is coming from the join between the 2 tables :P and E.
I have a population split between two vendors. One gets last names between A and R, the other the rest. Now, on a given date vendor 1 gets everybody.
I can accomplish this with a case statement on the upper range (R or Z), but it seems I should be able to do this without testing at all after the turnover date.
A small bit of the code:
declare @get_date datetime = convert(char(10),getdate(),101)
select top 10 pt.pt_id, pt.last_name
fromsmsmir.mir_acct a join smsmir.mir_pt pt on (a.src_sys_id = pt.src_sys_id
and a.pt_id = pt.pt_id
and a.from_file_ind = pt.from_file_ind
[Code] ....
Seems I should be able to not test the last name after the turnover date, but I can't figure out how.

I am a junior dba not a developer. So I'm just trying to get use to write code in T-SQL.
Anyways, I have a table which is dba.dbhakyedek.
Columns are
dbname, username, class_desc, object_name, permission_name, state_desc
I have statement
select case
when class_desc='OBJECT_OR_COLUMN' then 'GRANT '+permission_name+' ON '+'['+left(object_name,3)+'].'+'['+substring(object_name,5,len(object_name))+ '] TO '+username
WHEN class_desc='DATABASE_ROLE' THEN EXEC sp_addrolemember N'object_name', N'MC'
end
from dba.dbhakyedek
where username='MC'
This statement was running successfully until exec sp_addrolemember thing. I just learned that i can't call a sp in select case but i couldnt figure out how to do it.
I have a situation where I want to update a column if and only if it is null.
UPDATE Employee
SET VEmployeeID = CASE WHEN E.VEmployeeID IS NULL
THEN ves.VEmployeeID
END
FROM Employee E
INNER JOIN VEmployeeStaging VES
ON E.EID= VES.EID
But what happens is when I run the procedure every other time I run it, it changes everything to null. The other times it puts the VEmployeeID in.
So what is happening is the times when it is not null (where it is not supposed to do anything) it puts a null in. The next time it works.
I was given the task to come up with a result set based on certain criteria:
Please add one row for each offer code
1) Opt-in rate by offer code: This can be calculated by dividing XXX Inventory with lead / XXX Inventory (A)
The report should read something like below:
Example result set:
Log Date: OfferLetter OfferCode DailyCount
2014-07-20 A XXX Inventory (A) 108
2014-07-20 A XXX Inventory with lead 54
2014-07-20 A XXX Inventory Opt-in Rate: 50%
There are 12 different groupings and OfferLetter A is just one of them.
Below is the code that is written to date:
DECLARE @Start datetime = DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE() - 8), 0)
DECLARE @End datetime = DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE() - 1) + 1, 0)
DECLARE @Today datetime = DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE() - 1), 0);
SELECTDT.OfferCode, DT.OfferCodeDesc
INTO#tempOfferCodes
[Code] ....
The issue I'm having is that the values I need to divide by are in fact, a result set from the CASE statement. It's been a long time since I've done anything like this.

I am trying to use a date comparison in a statement using the year statement as well. Here is what I have:

When YEAR([LastHireDate]) < Year(@EndYearlyDate) then '12'
When Month([LastHireDate]) = '1' then '12'
When Month([LastHireDate]) = '2' then '11'
When Month([LastHireDate]) = '3' then '10'
When Month([LastHireDate]) = '4' then '9'
[Code] ....
When I am looking at it [LastHireDate] is showing that red line underneath. The < symbol has a red line and @EndYearlyDate has a red line. I can not seem to get them to clear and am, wondering what I am missing. When I execute the error comes up that it does not like the < sign in there.
Here is the full piece that the Case resides in:
Insert _Test

I have created a crosstab query using the Pivot statement that returns the expected results. The results look similar to the sample below:
ItemKey Description Aflatoxin Coliform Bacteria E_Coli Fumonisin Melamine Moisture Mold Salmonella Vomitoxin (DON) Yeast
1000 Item1000 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0
1024 Item1024 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0
135 Item135 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0
107 Item107 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0
106 Item106 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0
I'm using this statement to create the result set:
SELECT ItemKey, Description, Aflatoxin, [Coliform Bacteria], [E_Coli],[Fumonisin],
Melamine,Moisture, Mold, Salmonella, [Vomitoxin (DON)], Yeast
FROM
(SELECT tblInventory.ItemKey, tblInventory.Description,
jctProductClassificationRequiredTest.ProductTestClassID, tlbTestType.TestDescription
[Code] .....
Instead of doing a Count for the Pivot (the count will always be either 0 or 1 due to the design of the table being used), I would like to return an "X" for those records with a count of 1, and return a blank (otherwise null) for those records with a count of 0. So, the result set would look like:
ItemKey Description Aflatoxin Coliform Bacteria E_Coli Fumonisin Melamine Moisture Mold Salmonella Vomitoxin (DON) Yeast
1000 Item1000 X X X X X
1024 Item1024 X X X X X
135 Item135 X X X X X
107 Item107 X X X
106 Item106 X X X X X
I tried using a Case statement within the PIVOT portion, but I either did it incorrectly or it's not possible to do use a Case within the Pivot. Can I easily accomplish this?
Dealing with 3rd party app that is somehow deleting records. Was going to put a delete trigger on the table so we can at least be notified of the delete and save the record. Great idea until I found out the table has a text data type for one of the fields which are'nt allowed on the delete or update portion of the trigger. Unfortunately the text data contains what we really need to retain. Tried doing a convert varchar and that would not work.

Gives me this:

have a select statement which needs to apply some logic to determine which fields to use. If the modify_timestamp = create_timestamp, then I want to use a location field from patient_medication table. If the modify_timestamp and create_timestamp are not equal, I need to use the location field from a location table. So my select would be
select account_id,ndc,startdate -- and then my logic.
Am I correct that you can't use a case for this? Is there a better approach?
Hello,
I have the following problem. Presum I have a field called contact_mail. I want to check if the field is empty.
If that is true then i want to get the faxnumber from a field called contact_fax . And then i want to put @faxmaker.com behind it in a new field called faxmail.
Something like this contact_fax:123456 - faxmail:123456@faxmaker.com.
I've made the following case.
CASE contact_mail
WHEN 'NULL' THEN 'contact_fax@faxmaker.com'
END AS faxmail
But this doesn't work, does anyone got a hint?

I have an issue with validating an XML file I have from a 3rd party.
Willing to improve and standardise company's process, I have created an XML schema collection (SQL 2008R2), but when I validate the XML file against it I always keep getting the above error: Invalid simple type value dateTime.
Definition of dateTime from w3schools website says:
------ Start of quote ----
"DateTime Data Type
The dateTime data type is used to specify a date and a time.
The dateTime is specified in the following form "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss" where:
YYYY indicates the year
MM indicates the month
DD indicates the day
T indicates the start of the required time section
hh indicates the hour
mm indicates the minute
ss indicates the second
Note: All components are required!
The following is an example of a dateTime declaration in a schema:
<xs:element name="startdate" type="xs:dateTime"/>
An element in your document might look like this:
<startdate>2002-05-30T09:00:00</startdate>
------ End of quote ----
So I would assume that dates like 2012-10-24T14:23:00 or 2012-10-24T14:15:00 should be fine, but no -fails.
It works though only if I add "Z" at the end. Obviously 3rd party do not want to change anything, as it works for ages.

I would like to force a column to be null all the time. I cannot alter the table structure or alter the code that inserts data.
create table dbo.tblCustomer
(
CID int IDENTITY(1,1) not null,
Fnamevarchar(20) not null,
Lnamevarchar(20) not null,
Extravarchar(20) null
[Code] ....
So when this is executed the field Extra is always NULL
INSERT INTO tblCustomer (Fname, Lname, Extra)
VALUES ('bob', 'smith', 'ignore'), ('jane', 'doe', 'empty')
update dbo.tblCustomer set Extra = 'something'
If I've understood After triggers correctly the data will be written and the trigger will fire and overwrite. To avoid 2 writes
I could create an INSTEAD OF trigger
CREATE TRIGGER TR_I_Customer
ON tblCustomer
INSTEAD OF INSERT AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO tblCustomer
(Fname, Lname, Extra)
SELECT Fname, Lname, NULL
FROM Inserted
END
This will not write the "extra" field twice. However if a new Nullable column were added; it would be v.easy to forget to update the Instead Of trigger. Everything would still work OK but I would be effectively ignoring the new column as well.
What I would like in the instead of trigger is do something like this...
UPDATE INSERTED SET Extra=NULL
Continue with insert without supplying column /value list.
What would be the best way of achieving this, trigger is the only way I could think of?

Hello Experts,
I tried to retreive an input column using GetVirtualInputColumnByName, to map it with output, it gave error. I found that it is because the value passed bstrName parameter was in different case. say for example in the column it is "ColNo1" where as in the GetVirtualInputColumnByName i used "Colno1".
Can anyone tell, Is there anyway to find the column in a case in-sensitive way?
Thanks.
I am dealing with what I believe is Oracle that is the source of a SQL View.
I am seeing a data type of Integer in the View, but I am not able to see what makes up that View. When I query the View, I can see that an Integer data type column is storing a blank space. I use ISNUMERIC(ColumnName) = 0 and there are a lot of rows that show as a zero length blank space, or text, or something. I just know that it is not an Integer.
I have attempted to CAST and Convert this value, but it will not. I have changed the data type on the table that is being inserted in too, and it still fails with a Conversion error. I have tried REPLACE(), but still the same conversion error.
In my sql statement, I don't have any datatype as INT, when I run it, give me error as 'Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int'.
example :
select column1, 2, 3 .....
from (select sum(float) as column1 , ....)
When I hop my cursor on top of column1, it shows (int,null)
