I'm doing a bcp out of a table to a file. Some of the fields in a
record may have an empty string.
When I bcp out to the file and examine it, the fields that have an
empty string in the database now show up in the file as having one
blank character.
Why is bcp doing this? I don't want the blank character in my output.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to do this:
UPDATE Users SET uniqueurl = replaceAllEmptySpacesInUniqueURL('uniqueurl')
What would be the syntax.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Can we have blank value in Primary key field? Two fields are chosen as Primary Key for this table but the issue is at any given time one value will be blank when other is populated. Does sql server still order the records based on these keys? (Clustered index). Or should I just go about adding ID (identity)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis seems to be a rather old problem (http://www.themssforum.com/SQLServer/Does-empty/) but I couldn't find an answer yet.
The problem is: I have two tables t1 and t2 where t1 is a staging area of t2.
t1: (id int not null, phone varchar(30))
t2: (id int not null, phone varchar(30))
Data in t1: (1, '') <- empty string
Data in t2: (1, ' ') <- a blank
Comparing t1.phone with t2.phone results in equality which in my opinion isn't correct.
The question ist: How can I change the behaviour of SQL-Server to result in inequality so that the change in my staging table is detected correctly?
Thanks in advance

i have a trigger on a table right now... when fields are inserted, theres a text field inserted and i want to check if that text field = '' (the empty string, not NULL) and if it doesn't equal that, then perform some row updates on other tables, but if it is empty, to not do anything else in the trigger... right now i have this:
Code:
IF ((SELECT Note FROM XATPoDetail WHERE ReqNbr = (SELECT ReqNbr FROM Inserted)) LIKE(''))
Note is the text field, XATPoDetail is the table where its being inserted into. I had to do the select FROM the table because it wouldn't let me select a text data type from the "Inserted" virtual table
but it tells me me "Error 279: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression"

Hi,
In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables.
The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them.
If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string?
I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way:
1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour
2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing.
Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option to default the value to NULL WHEN there is NO data ELSE insert the data itself? So the same behavior that I have right now except that I want NULL in place of empty string/blank in the varchar(x) columns.
Thanks

Hi all, I have some columns in my database which allows null. I want to know if leaving the field to be NULL or storing an empty string into the field, which will take up more space?? if the field type is varchar(100)
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do I define a field to have the default value = ''. Not NULL but not a space either in SQL Server 2005?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIn sql server 2000 - our QA pointed out that his testing for empty strings returned 200 + rows but that when he clicked in the field there were obviously a space there. This issue came up because of the script I created to replace and earlier one that queried on empty strings instead of datalength and the earlier script always reported that it had updated x number of rows regardless of how many times it was run on the same database.
QA query based on the earlier script:
Select * from StringTable
WHERE (LongString = '' OR LongString IS NULL)
My script:
The fields are nvarchars in the newer database but older version of the database had varchars. I had created a script to replace empty strings as follows:
-- if LongString column is varchar - run varchar update else nvarchar update
If exists (Select * from sysobjects o
inner join syscolumns c on c.id = o.id
where c.name = 'LongString' and o.name = 'StringTable' and c.xtype = 167) begin
-- update varchar LongString
UPDATE StringTable
SET LongString = char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(LongString ) < 1) OR LongString IS NULL)
END
Else Begin
-- update nvarchar LongString
UPDATE StringTable
SET LongString = char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(LongString ) < 2) OR LongString IS NULL)
END
If exists (Select * from sysobjects o
inner join syscolumns c on c.id = o.id
where c.name = 'ShortString' and o.name = 'StringTable' and c.xtype = 167) begin
UPDATE StringTable
SET ShortString= char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(ShortString) < 1) OR ShortString IS NULL)
END
Else Begin
-- update nvarchar ShortString
UPDATE StringTable
SET ShortString= char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(ShortString) < 2) OR ShortString IS NULL)
END
My method for checking for datalength appears to work correctly why doesn't the QA script? I thought it might have to do with the nvarchar used in the table but I changed the column to a varchar and still has the same issue.
Thanks
I am using the following query to calculate date differences:select ..........DATEDIFF(d, recruitment_advertising.advertising_date, career_details.RTS_Email AS Datetime) AS Ad_to_RTS_days FROM .....I have stored all my dates as NVARCHAR because of the issues with localization.If the value is an empty String my output is eg: -38700. which is way off and incorrect. Some of the values in my table are NULL and they produce the correct result.Is there a T-SQL statement to replace empy Strings with the NULL value in my tables.I'd like to use it as a trigger when inserting or updating to convert empty strings to NULLbefore the values are inserted.Thanks guys.

Because i get no answers i will try it again:
Hi,
i have the following problem:
I have a matrix with a right subtotal column and this matrix was in a list (because in the end i will have more than one matrix). The list fits perfectly the matrix in design mode. But if i render the report in the viewer or to pdf, an additional blank area (like a blank copy of the subtotal column) was inserted after the right subtotal column of the matrix and increases the list too. You can see this easy by set the backgroundcolor of a list to a color. Without the subtotal column the list fits perfect after rendering. The problem is that this additional blank "column" creates empty pages in .pdf rendering, if the width of the matrix is near the page width. The same behaviour happens if i put the matrix with subtotal in a rectangle.
I must use a list in the end because the the final report contains some matrixes and a subreport.
So is this a bug?
Someone must have this problem too?
Thanks for any help.
Hi:
I did the following query on SQL Server A and got the following result.
Input: select replace('10/10/00', '/', '')
Result: 101000
(1 row(s) affected)
However, I did the same query on SQL B and got a different result.
Input: select replace('10/10/00', '/', '')
Output: 10 10 00
(1 row(s) affected)
Both Servers are SQL 7.0 with SP2. I checked the setting, it seems to be identical. Does anyone know what could be the problem or have any hint what I need to check?
I beleieve the correct result should be the first result.

We are using SSRS 2005.We designed one report.This report contains Table and chart controls .
When Table is hidden,chart only is visible, this chart is going to show only on last page.
There is a white space in top of the chart while hiding the table control.
Consider for an Example Report one tables and one chart .
We want to show only chart,So we made Table's visible property is false.
Total Number of pages is five and table has only four pages and chart has only one page that is in last page.
Now the report showing Four pages are empty with header and footer and last page have a chart with header and footer.
We tried putting the whole table inside a list and gave the visibility property,
but the table inside a list shows the same empty pages
Any suggestions how to avoid the empty pages?
Thanks

Hi,
I am using DTS for importing a table from FileMaker Pro (a database application) to SQL Server 2000. The problem is that everything gets imported correctly but in some values, it shows a box type character for a blank space. It does not happen for all the blank spaces. Because of this, that value is cannot be checked in the WHERE clause until I use a LIKE and % for that blank space.
I copied the value and pasted in Notepad, it only shows a blank space. What is this character?
Can someone help...

My output file comes out fine with one exception, there is a blank space at the beginning of each line. Is there a way to remove this ? One suggestion I have seen is to do this with BCP instaed of osql but I don't know if BCP can "run" my "SQL_Get_Create_Batch1.sql" file above. The ".sql" creates a temporary table and then does a select.

Hi all,
Report:
-For instance 2 small tables (eg. width 10cm = 3 inch?)
-And one wide table (eg. width 30cm = 10 inch?)
All separated by "insert pagebreak after table".
Problem:
When rendered, the pages with the small tables on have a lot of white blank space at the right of the table. This is probably caused by the big table on page 3.
This report is distributed by email in Excell format. So on sheet 1 and 2 there are a lot of white cells on the right of the tables. When trying to print, they just want to use the "landscape" option and the "fit to page" option. Because of the empty white cells, the fit to page option reduces the first 2 tables to a very small table which covers only 50 % of the page width. The other 50 % is reserved for the empty cells.
Off course, I know that deleting the empty cells offers a solutions, but it would be a lot more handier if there were no empty cells in the first place.
Anybody with a solution?
When I hide a table based on an expression it leaves a blank space. How do you get rid of the blank space?

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.

I am using VB6 and SQL7. I am asking a user to enter a date if applicable - specifically a product manufactured date. I then take that date, using the dateadd function, query a table for a specific code, and calculate an expiration date based on the particular code.
The problem - if the user does not enter a manufactured date, which is OK, SQL inserts 01/01/1900 - which I do not want. How do I handle?
I am inserting the date, if there is one, from a flexgrid. I am declaring the variable as variant. The SQL field is DateTime.
Ex:
sSQL = "Insert into RecI(manufacdate) values ('" & (flxRec.TextMatrix(ctr,14)) & "')"
