Best Way To Add Column Not Null

Jun 5, 2007

Hi.

I've read up on this, and have something that works, but I was wondering if
there is anything I'm overlooking with this.

Situation is:

I have a bunch of tables.. I need to modify table2 as part of an upgrade of a
database schema.

I am using T-SQL scripts to do the trick which I'm writing myself.

I need to add a new varchar(8) column that is not null to the primary key.
I have a default I would like to use for the initial ddl modification.
I want to get rid of the default after the modification is complete, but leave
the column not null for future operations.
..

(Some if the code I'm using I took from one of Erlands posts.. hope I'm not
abusing it).
Here is the code I'm using now.. it basically adds the column 'institution_id'
as not null along with a default.
Then I jump through a couple of hoops trying to get rid of the default.
Finally I setup the primary key again.

I can only feel I'm supposed to be maybe using a constraint column with a name
to do this easier/more properly.

set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref add institution_id
varchar(60) not null default ''' + @default_institution_id + ''' '
EXEC (@dynamicsql)
set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref alter column
institution_id varchar(60) not null '
EXEC (@dynamicsql)
select @institution_iddefault = object_name(cdefault) from syscolumns
where id = object_id('institution_xref') and name = 'institution_id'
exec(' alter table institution_xref drop constraint ' +
@institution_iddefault)
set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref drop constraint
institution_xref_pk '
EXEC (@dynamicsql)
set @dynamicsql = ' alter table institution_xref with nocheck add
constraint institution_xref_pk primary key clustered (originalcode,
institution_id) '
EXEC (@dynamicsql)

thanks

Changing The Column From NULL To NOT NULL

Feb 28, 2008

Hi all,

One of my columns is the table has some Null values, and I Would like to stop having NULL values into that column any more.

I know, If I alter the column to NOT NULL will throw me an error, since it does a batch update.

Is there any way to achieve this...

Thanks...

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Cannot Define Primary Key Constraint On Nullable Column But Column Not Null

Sep 30, 2014

We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-

/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](

[Code] ....

The script I am using is

DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change
DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column
DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed
DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table
DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script

[Code] ....

When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

Looking at the strings I build

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error

Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.

Integration Services :: SSIS Package - Replacing Null Values In One Column With Values From Another Column

Sep 3, 2015

I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.

What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column. 

I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.

NULL Column Bug?

Mar 16, 2007

It is issues like this that drive a programmer insane! I am trying to figure out if I am missing something here.

I have a query like this:

SELECT CL.DivisionId FROM CompanyLabels CL, BusinessRules B WHERE CL.CompanyLabelId = B.CompanyLabelId

In my table, DivisionId is nullable and equal to NULL.

In my VS.2005 Mobile 5 application, this line is giving me fits:

if (dr["DivisionId"] != null) { MessageBox.Show(dr["DivisionId"].ToString().Length.ToString()); divisionId = Convert.ToInt32(dr["DivisionId"].ToString()); }

DivisionId passes the null check and is blank. The message box returns "0" and of course, I get a FormatError on the conversion.

I have also tried DBNull in place of null. Is there a special System.Data.SqlServerCe NULL value in the SQL CE framework that I should be using? Am I completely forgetting something here?

Thanks!

Michael

Problem With Isnull. Need To Substitute Null If A Var Is Null And Compare It To Null And Return True

Sep 20, 2006

Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you

set ansi_nulls off


go

declare

@inFileName VARCHAR (100),

@inFileSize INT,

@Id int,

@inlanguageid INT,

@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),

@ExeState int

set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'

set @inFileSize = 28796

set @Id= 1

set @inlanguageid =null

set @inFileVersion =NULL

set @ExeState =0

select Dr.StateID from table1 dR

where

DR.[FileName] = @inFileName

AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize

AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)

AND DR.languageid = isnull(@inlanguageid,null)

AND DR.[ID]= @ID

)

go

set ansi_nulls on

-Leave the default value null but I will have to use coalesce.

In term of performance, what is the best solution?

How To Get Column Names Which Are Not Null

Hi,
I have a table in which out of 20 columns, there will be data only in a few columns. So, I need to find those column names which have data in them. I was able to do it using the information_schema and using a cursor to loop through all the column names and find out which columns have data in them. But i need to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this without using the cursor. Can somebody please let me know how this can be done without using a cursor? Thank you.

Alter A Column To Add (not Null)

Oct 30, 2013

How do you alter a table to set a column which is currently int, to int not null?

I have already set all values to either 0 or 1.

Why can't I use:

Alter table myTable alter myCol int not null default(0)

I get a syntax error on the word default. If I remove "default(0)" then the command executes ok, but my Inserts don't work because there's no default value.

Null And Computed Column

Oct 1, 2007

how do you change the allow null on a column to be 0,
so instead of having null when empty, it would be 0,
I tried default value or binding to 0 to -1, and to 1
and in 0 or -1, it stays null, in 1 it puts the 1
for example if is quantity, it puts as if I would have 1 quantity,
so it's either null, or whathever number I put visides -1 or 0
how can I make it be 0 as defult?
I'm using it to add and substract with computed column, formula;
and the problem is that if it's the first time it's used it does not add or substract, becsause it does not add null with a number, if it has 0 than it works,
whata I had to do is add it manually, but of course it doesn't suppoesed to be that way
any suggestions will be appriciated:

Insert NULL Into INT Column

I've 2 tables with a relation:

- LevelId ==> FK relation to Levels.LevelId





Levels

- Description



What I want to do, is save a NULL value in the Customers.LevelId when no level is selected. I'm using C#, a CLR StoredProcedure and the DbType.Int32 for that column. When I try to save a null value, it says "cannot convert null to int", what is clear. But in the database it is possible to save a NULL value.



The question is: How to save a null value in a int column via a C# CLR Stored Procedure?

I'm working on a website that allows users to upload small JPEG files. I followed the article at http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/120606-1.aspx. On the webpage I'm using a formview control to insert new records in the database. As suggested in the article I removed the "type='object'" from the insert parameters for the image column. The data is saved by using a sqldatasource with stored procedures. The image column is of type varbinary(max) and allows null values. Everythings works fine as long as the user uploads an image. The data is saved correctly and on another page the image can be viewed. However if the user does not upload a picture and tries to save the new record the following error is thrown: 
�Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.�
 In the formviews iteminserting event I have the following code: Dim imageBytes(fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Length) As Byte            fileupload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Read(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length)            e.Values("Image") = imageBytes What code should I use in case the fileupload1 has no file?  I tried something like:                        e.values("Image") = dbnull.value  But that doesn't work.  Any suggestions?
