Hi,
What would be the Syntax in a SELECT statement to convert a Null Value to 0,
ie,
SELECT RowID, Amount FROM TableA
and Amount is a smallmoney field. For example it is coming back with:
RowID Amount
1 2.3000
2 15.0300
3 NULL
4 7.8900
But I want it to return:
RowID Amount
1 2.3000
2 15.0300
3 0.0000
4 7.8900
Thanks

I am loading a flat file to a table but I also need to scrub the data a bit before the data hits the table. The main update required is converting a dot (.) character to a null value. The source file is using this character to indicate a blank. I know I can use the Dervived Column Transformation, but I have quite a few columns which will take a while to manually configure. Is there another transformation option that anyone can point me to?
Thanks
Hi
I've got a view which returns Null values due to an left outer join. The field which sometimes returns Nulls is called ClientCount. I want to create a new field which displays the value of ClientCount if ClientCount is not null and 0 if it is null.
In MS Access I use the following: IIF([ClientCount] Is Null,0,[ClientCount])
This does not seem to work in MS SQL. Is there some equivalent function I could use?
Thanks

Is there any way to make a column to accept NULL but stores it as default value of Column Property?

DECLARE @name varchar(30)
SET @name = NULL
SELECT ISNULL(CONVERT(DATE,@name),'')
Result: 1900-01-01
But..
DECLARE @name varchar(30)
SET @name = NULL
SELECT ISNULL(@name,'')
Does NULL inherit a datatype after convert?
Greetings -
I have a problem that I am unable to fix. I am migrating data from one ERP system to another ERP system.
I created a table in SQL via DTS by converting an excel file into an SQL Table.
The table has a column 'currentcost'. Most items in the table have a value in this column. However, some items have <null> in this column. I am updating another SQL table with currentcost that is in this column. However, my table being updated requires a value in its corresponding currentcost table. Therefore, my update statement terminates due to the source table having <null> values.
I tried an update statement to convert <null> into a '0'
It was 'update Source_New_ItemMaster set currentcost = '0' where currentcost = <null>
This obviously didn't work. How can a change a <null> value in an SQL table to '0' (zero)?
I am working on a cube and I want to hide the results of a calculation if it is zero.
It is an inventory problem based on a transaction pattern. (add plus one to the inventory, add minus one to the inventory).
The sum of those two is zero, but the cube get messed but by thousands of zero.
I found some solutions of displaying 0 for NULL but I want to dispaly NULL (or empty) for 0.
Let me start by saying that I'm brand new to SQL Server 2005 and SSIS. I'm using the import wizard in SQL2005 to import from a flat file into a table and everything works fine except for dates. A typical date in my flat file is 01-JAN-06. 01 represents the day of the week, JAN represents the month and 06 represents the year. The flat file also contains date values of 00-XXX-00 which represent no date. For example a column containing last purchase date data would look like this:"DateOfLastOrder"
"01-JAN-06"
"02-JAN-06"
"00-XXX-00"
"03-DEC-05"The value of 00-XXX-00 means that there is no purchase date.I want to bring these columns into my table and replace the 00-XXX-00 values with a NULL.
The table Data Type is datetime.
If I use the import wizard using the example above I get this error message:
- Copying to [cpstest].[dbo].[date] (Error)

If I remove the 00-XXX-00 values and import something like this:
"DateOfLastOrder"
"01-JAN-06"
"02-JAN-06"
"03-DEC-05"
The import is successfull and the dates look correct in a querry.

date

2006-01-02 00:00:00.000
2005-12-03 00:00:00.000
(3 row(s) affected)
Does anyone know how I should go about getting these date columns into a datetime table and convert the 00-XXX-00 values into NULLs?
Thank you,

Hi there, I've a question regaarding datatype conversions... I can't convert the above mentioned datatype. I always get an error message that the conversion fails. Doesn't matter If convert or cast is used.
How would you convert the above mentioned variable into float???
Hi all,I have this code that I use for my Search function:SELECT DISTINCT [MUSIC_TITLE], [MUSIC_ORIGINAL_SINGER], [MUSIC_PERFORMER]FROM t_musicWHERE (@MUSIC_TITLE IS NULL OR [MUSIC_TITLE] LIKE '%' + @MUSIC_TITLE + '%') AND (@MUSIC_ARTIST IS NULL OR ([MUSIC_ORIGINAL_SINGER] LIKE '%' + @MUSIC_ARTIST + '%' OR [MUSIC_PERFORMER] LIKE '%' + @MUSIC_ARTIST + '%')) But right now if I don't enter anything in one of the textbox (2 have two, either of them can be left empty), the above Sql statement doesn't return anything since ADO.NET can't tell an empty textbox and treat it at null... So anyone please help me how to detect an empty textbox and set that to null for the above SQL statement to work. (It work in SQL Manager Studio, when I set one of the parameter = null.) I'm very new to ASP.NET stuffs, so if someone can help me to convert that function to code-behind and help me to call it from the .aspx, that would be even better as I don't want to put the code in my .aspx page... But I'm not quite there yet. Thank you all,Kenny.

Using a reporting services model/report builder we have two related tables:
- Fundings, (parent)
- Draws, (child)
Report Builder reports that subtract "Total Fundings.Amount", (which is SUM(FundingAmount)) from "Total Draw Amount", (which is SUM(DrawAmount)) to get a balance work as expected except when there are no Draw rows, in which case a NULL is returned. Obviously we want to convert NULL values of "Total Draw Amount" to zero so that when subtracted from "Total Fundings.Amount" the correct value is displayed. I've searched for a function similar to COALESCE (Transact-SQL) in report builder but found nothing.
Can anybody help me with this?

In the below scenario we are inserting some time related fields in Temp table.But its data type is varchar. Once data loading is finished in the temp table (Data is loading by source team SQOOP and they are unable to load if the source datatype is having Date or datetime) we have to alter the column datatypes. somehow, some character data in inserted in date columns (look at into 3rd insert statement). while altering the table it is failing. Can we do any alternative for this (Means if any varchar data that is non convertible to date can we make as null)
INSERT INTO ##TEMP_TEST
SELECT '2014-09-30','2017-10-06','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM'

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.

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
)

May I know what is the purpose of having SqlDataReader in Example A? I can see the same output when I tried out both. Should I use Example A or Example B? Currently, I'm using Example B since it is lesser code.Example A Dim objDR As SqlDataReader 'Create Data Reader
LoginConn.Open()
strSQL = "SELECT CountryID, CountryName FROM Country ORDER BY CountryName "
cmd = New SqlCommand(strSQL, LoginConn) objDR = cmd.ExecuteReader() 'Populate the DataReader ddlNationality.DataSource = objDR ddlNationality.DataBind() ddlNationality.SelectedValue = dvUserProfile.Item(0)("Nationality")LoginConn.Close() Example BLoginConn.Open() strSQL = "SELECT CountryID, CountryName FROM Country ORDER BY CountryName " cmd = New SqlCommand(strSQL, LoginConn) ddlNationality.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader() 'Populate the DataReader ddlNationality.DataBind() ddlNationality.SelectedValue = dvUserProfile.Item(0)("Nationality")LoginConn.Close()
Can you really use the SQL replication to mirror data to another server for the purposr of DR ? What is the best method ? I would want to be able to switch to DR very quickly, allowing users to continue work. Or is there something I should know ? I would be very grateful for any help. :D

Greetings,What is the point of Microsoft defining a ROWGUIDCOL property that canbe attached to a 'uniqueidentifier' column? This is defined as a columnthat is 'globally unique', but doesn't the uniqueidentifier datatypealready guarantee that? To make matters more confusing, they tell youin Books Online to add a Unique constraint because ROWGUIDCOL does notguarantee uniqueness...so what's the point?Apparently the only functionality attached to this property is that onlyone such column can exist per table and that it can be queried using the$ROWGUIDCOL keyword in SQL.Can anyone tell me the rationale for when to use this and when not to,or what the purpose of this property is?Thanks,Sam BendayanDB ArchitectUltimate SoftwareJoin Bytes!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
