Transact SQL :: Getting NULL For User Defined Data Types
Nov 27, 2015
I have a table RequestUtility with 3 columns Vendor, name, system. I want to call this table from BizTalk so that I send multiple vendors and will get corresponding Vendor, name and system for that. As I need to send multiple vendors at the same time I have created a User-Defined Table type VendorNames with a single column Names. and have written a SP :
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetName]
 -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
 @vendorN VendorNames ReadOnly
AS
 -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
 -- interfering with SELECT statements.
 SET NOCOUNT ON;
   -- Select statements for procedure here
 SELECT * from dbo.RequestUtility where Vendor IN (SELECT Names from @vendorN)
This is working fine when the value for vendor is present in the table. But if the value is not present it is not returning any thing. But, my requirement is that for example vendor is Dummy which is not present in the table so it should return
     field ([idConteudo] [int] NULL)     to      ([idConteudo] [BigInt] NULL)
Or really should drop and create again?
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[tbProjeto] AS TABLE( [dsConteudo] [varchar](64) NOT NULL, [idConteudo] [int] NULL, [dtConteudo] [datetime] NULL DEFAULT (getdate()) ) GO
Is there a way to change the physical mapping of a user defined data type to the physical SQL Server datatype. It seems that once you create them, it is just about impossible to change it.
Hi all,I defined unsigned_int in my database, which uses unsigned_int_rangerule. The unsigned_int_range rule is defined as follows:@unsigned_int >=0 and @unsigned_int <=4294967295(4294967295 = 0xFFFFFFFF)The storage size is 4 bytes.One of the tables in the database contains a field that is of typeunsigned_int.When I try to add a new record into the table (ex: using the EnterpriseManager), it always fails in the unsigned_int field if I enter a valuegreater than 2147483647 (which is 0x7FFFFFFF) all the way to 4294967295(0xFFFFFFFF). The Enterprise Manager shows the following message:"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type orlength of the column, or over grid buffer limit."What is wrong here? The 4-byte storage should be good for any valuefrom 0 to 4294967295.Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Ken
I have defined a user defined data type. When I try to create a stored procedure specifying the column and user define data tpye I receive message
Server: Msg 2715, Level 16, State 3, Procedure spStoredproc, Line 0 Column or parameter #1: Cannot find data type udtcol1. Server: Msg 2715, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spStoredproc, Line 0 Column or parameter #2: Cannot find data type udtcol2. Server: Msg 2715, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spStoredproc, Line 0 Column or parameter #3: Cannot find data type udtcol3
Can you have user defined data types in stored procedures.
Store Procedure creation text
CREATE PROCEDURE spStoredproc @col1 udtcol1, @col2 udtcol2, @col3 udtcol3 AS INSERT INTO tblTempEmployee (col1 , col2 , Col3) VALUES (@col1 , @col2, @col3) GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF SET ANSI_NULLS OFF GO
Does anybody know an easy way to change User Defined Data Types ownership to “dbo”, without dropping dependent objects?
I know that there is a st. proc sp_changeobject owner, but it does not deal with this particular db objects. Is there a similar st.procedure or script that would do the same operation?
We have a database that originally had all objects owned by a vendor id. We are in the process of changing the ownership to 'dbo' and wish to remove the vendor id but have found there are a few user defined datatypes that are also owned by this vendor id. How can I change the ownership of them to 'dbo'? They are currently being used in some of the tables. I tried the sp_changeobjectowner but that doesn't work for these.
I have a requirement of creating nested tables in SQL server. how to create them. Just to give a background I am trying to move the RDBMS from oracle to SQL server.
Structure of tables is as follows. I have table 'Employees' with address as one of the column. I have one more table with columns Street, Town, Dist, State. When I query the table 'Employees' I should see the attribute name and values of all the columns in address table in address column.
Employees: with columns: ID, FirstName, LastName, dept, gender, dob, address
Address (Nested table): with columns : Street, Town, Dist, State
This was done in oracle using Nested tables and user defined data types. what is alternative for this in SQL server. How can I achive this requirement in SQL server.
I've been doing some reading on UDT's and have a question...
It was suggested in one of the pieces I read that you could create a UDT for, in their example, cities. And every table that had a reference to city could share this datatype. Now, my initial thought was "wow, what a great idea! I wouldn't have to remember the exact datatype for my primary keys (was it a char(5) or char(6)?) and have a "central depository" for my key datatypes.
So the first question is; what are the disadvantages of such a design?
And the second is; How do you update a UDT? If business requirements change and udt_city needs to be changed from varchar(30) to varchar(60), for example, what would be the way of echoing the change thoughout your database?
My gut reaction for the answers are 1) performance will decrease as effectively the dbms has to "parse" every insert/update to a UDT field in a different method.
2) create a new udt and alter any tables referencing the old one before dropping it.
Iam trying to create a geo-database. For that i need to have a spatial data type called polygon which takes in values as int. so it can be declared as: POLYGON(0 0, 100 0, 100 100, 0 100, 0 0)
How do i do that. plz help.

I have a question about creating a user defined type: I'd like to create a table of employee objects which include objects of the type employee_t. I used this structure before in Oracle 9i and would like to know how it can be done with MS SQL Server 2000 or 2005, preferably with Enteprise Manager/Management Studio. Below is an example.
CREATE TYPE employee_t AS OBJECT ( name VARCHAR(10) jobDesc VARCHAR(15) ... )
The fields fltValorPendente e fltTotal are of this type. Field intSinal is an Integer.
I execute the following query: SELECT (intSinal * fltValorPendente) / fltTotal as Coef, cast((intSinal * fltValorPendente) as decimal(21,6)) / fltTotal as CoefCast into tmp FROM tbl Where fltTotal<>0
As a result, table tmp is created with the following structure: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp]( [Coef] [decimal](38, 6) NULL, [CoefCast] [decimal](38, 17) NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
How come both fields don't get the same precision?
I have a very simple SQL Server 2005 database, nothing fancy except that I use user-defined types (e.g., udt_Name = varchar(20)). I just set up a login for my first user, using Windows authentication, and gave her the following database access:
default schema = dbo
role = db_datareader
role = db_datawriter
Using SQL Server Management Studio, she can open any table; however, every column that is defined with a user-defined type appears with generic column headings (Expr1, Expr2 etc). And when she opens a table in design view, all columns with user-defined types have their Data Type field listed as "invalid type" rather than, say "udt_Name:varchar(20)". I browsed to the "User-defined Data Types" entry in Object Explorer, and it was empty.
In other words, it appears that she is unable to access the user-defined type aliases, even though she has read/write access to the database. As a very temporary work-around, I gave her membership in the database role "db_owner", but this is obviously not an ideal solution.
User-defined types are a great organizing tool and I don't want to have to redefine all my tables without them. What are my options?
I'm wondering, why CLR user-defined-types are case-sensitive in T-SQL?
When I create an udt with vb.net, e.g. udtPoint with properties X and Y and a method ToString(), I have to write udtPoint.X ..., udtPoint.x would raise an error. udtPoint.tostring() isn't working, too.
I like vb, because you don't have to remember whether syntax is upper or lower case. Same is with T-SQL, there's no difference between select * from table and Select * FROM Table. Intellisense would by great, but is not yet implemented .
I'd like to put this topic under suggestions (in my opinon it's a bug), what do you think about it?
I'm need to use typed Dataset with CLR UDT, but when I'm trying to create TableAdapter in Dataset designer, I'm gettng error message: User-defined data types are not supported in DataSet designer
I'm trying to import some data from an Excel 2007 file into a SQL table. I created the Source Connection Manager and an OLE DB Source Data Flow Component which uses it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't use the Excel Source because of the version of Excel the file is saved in.) The outgoing Data Flow Path thinks some of the fields being imported should be of type float, when in fact they have alpha characters in them.
The fields in the database are defined as varchars.
A Data Conversion Transform doesn't seem right because I need the data to come out of the source as string data (which it actually is in the Excel file). Even if I convert it to string on the way to the destination, I would still be missing the original alpha characters.
How/Where do I change it (Source Connect Manager, OLE DB Source Data Flow Component, something else) to correctly identify the field's type?
This question is around how we can get the data types and lengths populated into the flat file source columns.
In Connection Manager, you have your flat file defined. You can choose "Suggest Types...", and the minimum lengths and correct data types will be returned from within the data in the flat file.
Is there some way to automate this data type definition, but coming from the other direction (coming from the destination table that we are loading)?
For example, you have mapped the columns that will be loaded. Can you then reverse engineer the data types and lengths for the columns in the flat file from the destination table?
I would like to offer you the following string functions Transact-SQL
GETWORDCOUNT() Counts the words in a string GETWORDNUM() Returns a specified word from a string AT() Returns the beginning numeric position of the first occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character RAT() Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string OCCURS() Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression PADL() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the left side PADR() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the right side PADC() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides PROPER() Returns from a character expression a string capitalized as appropriate for proper names RCHARINDEX() Is similar to a built-in function Transact-SQL charindex but the search of which is on the right ARABTOROMAN() Returns the character Roman number equivalent of a specified numeric expression ROMANTOARAB() Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman number expression ...

I am pleased to offer, free of charge, the following string functions Transact-SQL:
AT(): Returns the beginning numeric position of the nth occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character. RAT(): Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string. OCCURS(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (including overlaps). OCCURS2(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (excluding overlaps). PADL(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the left side. PADR(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the right side. PADC(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides. CHRTRAN(): Replaces each character in a character expression that matches a character in a second character expression with the corresponding character in a third character expression. STRTRAN(): Searches a character expression for occurrences of a second character expression, and then replaces each occurrence with a third character expression. Unlike a built-in function Replace, STRTRAN has three additional parameters. STRFILTER(): Removes all characters from a string except those specified. GETWORDCOUNT(): Counts the words in a string. GETWORDNUM(): Returns a specified word from a string. GETALLWORDS(): Inserts the words from a string into the table. PROPER(): Returns from a character expression a string capitalized as appropriate for proper names. RCHARINDEX(): Similar to the Transact-SQL function Charindex, with a Right search. ARABTOROMAN(): Returns the character Roman numeral equivalent of a specified numeric expression (from 1 to 3999). ROMANTOARAB(): Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman numeral expression (from I to MMMCMXCIX).
AT, PADL, PADR, CHRTRAN, PROPER: Similar to the Oracle functions PL/SQL INSTR, LPAD, RPAD, TRANSLATE, INITCAP.
Plus, there are CHM files in English, French, Spanish, German and Russian.

SELECT DATEDIFF(n , LAG(CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME), 1) OVER ( ORDER BY Date, Time ), Â Â Â Â Â Â CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME)) Â Â Â FROM [DataGapTest]
Gives the right output:
NULL 1 1 3548 0
However, when I put the statement in a function, I get only zeros as the output. It's as if the lag and current value are always the same (but they are not of course).
