I have a sql query that sums a database column. When the data in the column in '0' it prints out to my datagrid nothing, blank.
Is there a way in the SQL statment to somehow assign a default '0' value so that it prints out to my datagrid. Here is the SUM part of my sql code
SUM(nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty) as 'wafers'
@pvColumnName VARCHAR(100) = Default,
However, I am unable to determine what is the value for Default. Is it '' ?
Default is not permitted as a constant - below fails to parse:
WHERE t2.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND (@pvColumnName = Default OR t1.[COLUMN_NAME] Like @vColumnName)
Hi,
Does anyone have a workaround or know of a fix to this problem:
Default value set to 'date pick' from date currently within field by setting value equal to that field . ie if date is 01/01/2010 date picker opens in Jan 2010 - works ok.
However, once published to Sharepoint and run through browser the Date Picker ignores the default value and the date picker opens for today. ie April 2008.
Any words of wisdom gratefully recieved,
Howard Stiles
is it possible to give a default value for a column which is generated as a result of left outer join...
when there is no value for a particular column it shows null is it possible to change give a default value based on its data type?
Hi, I'm creating a dynamic group of values using SELECT and UNION Example: (SELECT Description = 'Changed PhoneNumber from ' + @old_PhoneNumber + ' to ' + @PhoneNumber WHERE @PhoneNumber <> @old_PhoneNumber UNION ALL SELECT Description = 'Changed FaxNumber from ' + @old_FaxNumber + ' to ' + @FaxNumber WHERE @FaxNumber <> @old_FaxNumber UNION ALL SELECT Description = 'Changed EmailAddress from ' + @old_EmailAddress + ' to ' + @EmailAddress WHERE @EmailAddress <> @old_EmailAddress) The problem here is that SQL Server thinks "Description" is an int (by default probably) and gives me an error when I try to assign a string to it. I'm taking that information and using it as a field in a INSERT INTO ... SELECT statement, so I don't think I am able to use a DECLARE statement or if that would even work. Does anyone know how I can make it so that Description is always a varchar?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI find myself coding the following quite often:
Code:
SELECT M.District,
SUM(case when P.PropType = 'T' or M.Status = 'SA' then
V.CurrentTaxable else 0 end),
SUM(case when SUBSTRING(P.Code,1,1) = 'P' then
V.CurrentTaxable else 0 end),
SUM(case when P.PropType <> 'T' and M.Status <> 'SA' and SUBSTRING(P.Code,1,1) <> 0 then
V.CurrentTaxable else 0 end)
[code]...
In other words, I am trying to sum 1 variable into 3 categories depending upon certain conditions. I have to explicitly negate all the conditions from the first 2 SUM's to simulate a default ending else condition. Is there any construct in SQL that will me to do the last SUM if the first 2 SUM's fail without all the negation conditions?
How do you give a Column a default value when creating a DB Table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using SQL Express and Expression Web. A table in my db records holiday requests and has a status field. I want this field set to a default value of 1. The field in SQL (Default Value/Binding) is set to 1 and displays ((1)). If I enter a row manually, it works fine. However, the web form posts data to the database but this particular field results in NULL? I've had to allow NULLS on this occasion to troubleshoot to this point whereas normally for this field NULLS would not be allowed. Any idea why this is behaving as so?

We have a default defined in our database
CREATE DEFAULT [ schema_name . ] default_name
AS constant_expression [ ; ]
How can I ge the value of the constant using SQL ?
Also - anyone know why this is going to be removed from a future version of SQL - we use it for partitioning with replicated clients (long story) - but every table has one column which is bound to this default. We find it *very* handy.

I have populated an SQLdata table from an XML datasource usinmg the bulk command. In my SQL table is a new column that is not in the XML table which I would like to set to a default value. Would anyone know the best way to do this. So far I can's see how to add this value in the Bulk command. I am happy to create a new command that updates all the null values of this field to a default value but can't seem to do this either as a SQLdatasource or a APP Code/ Dataset. Any suggestions or examples where I can do this.Many thanks in advance

In SQL Server Management Studio (Express), when you create a new query the database defaults to "Master", and you either have to select the database that you want or write "USE databasename" at the start of your query.Is there any way of setting the default database? I can't seem to find any option to change this from "Master" to the name of the database that I am using all the time.Thank you, Robert.

Hi, i would like to insert a default value for a image column in sql server express. is this possible?

I am writing a two step process where the record is created and half of the fields are populated. The second step will populate the remaining fields. Between steps they will run queries against the table and the empty fields are <NULL>.When the field is <NULL> it won't return data on "WHERE Field LIKE '%'". I could just pass "" as data to the remaining fields however since MS SQL allows you to set a default value on a field. Is it possible to set the default value to a blank instead of <NULL>. This would help keep my code a little more streamline.
Or is there an easy way to write a fuzzy search that will include <NULL> fields.
Thanks
I'm using MSDE and I'd like to set a default value of a space (or spaces), and in design-view, it lets me enter a space. But it is interpreted as an empty-string "" which gets converted to Nulls when it is moved to another string field? I'm not sure why. Is there any way around this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, I probably do something stupid, but I cannot figure out how to set the date as deault when
inserting a record in a table. I have created a Default in the database, giving it a name and the Value = GetDate() and bind it to the desired column.
When I insert a record without filling in a value in this datefield, the table shows me "01/01/1900" in stead of Today.
What am I doing wrong ?
Help is appreciated, Ger.

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0 SP3. I added a column to a table like so:
ALTER TABLE T704_RELATIONSHIP_INDEX_CLIENT_REPORT_STORE
ADD Universe_Member_Set_cd INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 1
What is the syntax for dropping the 'DEFAULT' from this column once it has been created? I've looked in BOL but can't seem to get the syntax correct.
Thanks in advance,

Greeting SQLers,
I'm attempting to define a Default value for a new user-defined-datatype in SQL Server 6.5, but can't as the dropdown list only allow (none) value!
Anyone can help? TIA.
I know I can find out what parameters does a stored procedure have via either sp_help or INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS, I can get the types, the lengths or precisions ... what I do not seem to be able to get is which of those parameters are required and which ones have a default value. I mean:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Foo (
@Required Int,
@Optional Int = 0
) AS ...
Is there any way to get this information (preferably together with the default value) short of parsing the output of sp_helptext?
Thanks, Jenda
How do you enter a default value where it is a combination of values ?
I want a default value to be entered into a field every time a create a new record.
The field will contain the "primary key number" + username
Cheers

Documentation states that you can set the Default Value for a column which is to be used whenever a row with a null value is inserted into the table. However, it appears that the column ends up as NULL regardless of this setting when inserted field has a value of NULL.
We have a stored procedure that accepts parameters for each column on the table and initializes the incoming parameter to NULL. It then inserts the row into the table. Table definition allows NULLs in the columns, but has a Default Value of ''.
Are we missing a setting somewhere?
