Building the database I have come across different databases some that add a default value for every field and some that don't. I feel it is a hassle to add a default value, keep track if it is added.
I guess with a default value there would be no "NULL" values in the database but one could also make sure in the C# code that all the fields have a value when inputed and on the way out check for nulls.
All -- Please help. Linq-To-Sql is not using the database-defined default values. For example, suppose there exists a column, Table1.Column1, of type nvarchar(32) in the database. Further suppose that Table1.Column1 has a default set as '', an empty string, set in the database itself. Now suppose that one has a Linq-To-Sql class mapped to this table. Note that if one then tries to insert, using the Linq class, and one does not provide a value for Table1.Column1, then it throws a RTE. Is there a way around this other than writing a partial class and using the Extensibility methods? Please advise. Thank you. -- Mark Kamoski
I have my stored procedure set to Territory_code IN (@Territory)
, now , how do i enter in more then one value. When i select the multi value check box, it gives me more spaces. But then doesnt recognize the values when i put in more then one. am i doing something wrong?
A have a multi-valued parameter (B) which is dependent on a single-valued parameter (A) on my report. When a value is selected in A, I want all matching values in B to be selected by default and the "Select All" option checked. To do this I have set the Default Values section in B to point to the same dataset as the "Available Values" section. Both A and B have default values so the report runs automatically.
One of the values in parameter A (say Value1) yields more values in parameter B than the other (say Value2).
If I run the report the first time with Value1 selected as the default for parameter A, all values in B are checked correctly. If I run the report with Value2 selected the first time and then change the selected value to Value2 and run my report, all values in B are displayed but only the values that were previously checked (when Value1 was selected), are now checked, leaving the "Select All" unchecked.
What am I doing wrong? Why are all the values in B not checked? The dataset is the same in "Available Values" section and "Default Values" section.
I need to set the default value of a field in my table to 'Regular' if nothing is inserted to that field. Is it not as easy as putting ('Regular') in Default Value?
We have a table that needs to have 00 as the default values in the columns until the point in time where they are updated with the values that we will use. The updated values will be two numbers 1-7 and 3-9 example 47, 14, 26, 68. This is a nvarchar data type in the columns. When I try to set the default values to double zero 00, after i click save it changes them to a single zero 0 instead of a double zero 00.

How do I insert/add a default value in if the query above generates zero result?
I have a row of data being inserted in to a db table with default values, say: Name Date1 Date2 and I'm inserting VALUES 'myName','12/04/83',NULL Is there any way for the field Date2 to take the value being inserted into Date1 (ideally via default value)? (Any good database tutorials would be handy! Thanks)
Does anyone know if or how I can insert a default value of the (+) character into a column? when I try to save it I get an error message saying it has a problem with ')'.
I have a DTS package that is connected to a table in an Access97 database and to a duplicate(by schema) table in SQL2000. If there is a default value in the Access97 field properties the DTS package will import that value regardless of any other value in the Access field. I can not see anything in the DTS designer that handles this choice.
Even when I look at the Access connection in preview it shows only the default values.
The columns fro which we do not enter any values.Fro eg in my table i did not insert any values to Balance col,in my table. In SQL 2005,management studio,when i said modify table and changed the default to 0 from NULL and also unchecked the checkbox saying Allow Nulls.
I did the above changes and said save.It gave an error saying
'AccountsBalance' table - Unable to modify table. Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Balance', table 'AccountBalanceSheet.dbo.Tmp_AccountsBalance'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
How can i change the default value of a column? I already have a columnnamed DateOfRental but I want to alter it so that it has default valuegetdate()ThanksDavid--http://www.nintendo-europe.com/NOE/...=l&a=Prodigious
Pardon the newbie question...but I'm trying to load a dimension table in a small data mart that has columns in it that are unique to the dimension and not sourced from any source table. Two of those columns are date columns that I want to default to the system date and the other column I want to load with a default value. I can't figure out how to do this within a data flow task. The source columns flow from the input db source into a scd transform but I can't seem to edit the columns in the target table table if they don't actually come from a data source. There doesn't seem to be a data transform object to handle this.
I have a report that I run where the selected MONTH and YEAR defaults to the prior month and year. When I run the report it shows the parameter values show as June 2007. Which is correct since this is July.
If I schedule the report to run on the 1st of every month will it default to the prior month/year automatically (I have the "use default" box checked).
I have a this SP that inserts values into a table with results from a query, but at the same time I want to insert some default values.But thats NOT working the way I hoped for, actually sqlserver 2005 dont let me create this SP at all."Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DEFAULT'."Can someone please tell me how I can achieve this? create procedure %PROC% ( @Ordre_ID int ) asbeginIF NOT EXISTS(SELECT Ordre_ID FROM tbl_Ordre WHERE Ordre_ID = @Ordre_ID AND Ordrestatus IN ('2', '3', '4'))BEGIN return 0;ENDIF EXISTS(SELECT Ordre_ID FROM tbl_Faktura WHERE Ordre_ID = @Ordre_ID)BEGIN return 0; ENDBEGIN TRANSACTIONINSERT INTO tbl_Faktura( Ordre_ID ,PostNummer ,KID ,Fakturastatus ,Kontonummer ,Forfallsdato ,Belop ,BekreftetBetaltDato ,Faktura_GUID ,Adresse ,PostBoks ,Fornavn ,Etternavn ) (SELECT O.Ordre_ID ,K.PostNummer ,DEFAULT ,DEFAULT ,SI.Kontonummer ,(getdate()+14) ,v_OTS.TOTALBELOP ,DEFAULT ,DEFAULT ,K.Adresse ,K.PostBoks ,K.Fornavn ,K.Etternavn FROM tbl_Ordre AS O INNER JOIN tbl_Kunde AS K ON O.Kunde_ID = K.Kunde_ID INNER JOIN v_OrdreTotalSum AS v_OTS ON O.Ordre_ID = v_OTS.Ordre_ID ,tbl_StatiskeInnstillinger AS SI WHERE O.Ordre_ID = @Ordre_ID ) UPDATE tbl_Ordre SET Ordrestatus = '6' WHERE Ordre_ID = @Ordre_ID COMMIT end go
Hi, I have something similar to the following: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MySproc @columnVal int = nullASBEGIN SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyTable.column = @columnVal END If columnVal is not passed into the stored proc i want it to just select everything from 'MyTable' (without the WHERE clause)....how can I do this in as few lines of code possible?thanks
Hi, all, does anyone know of a way to change default values inside of a table without affecting existing values?
I have a table with default = 0 in usermask column. Some rows already have non 0 values in them. I now need to change the default to 1 but still want the non 0 values be there. I also want the new default to take effect when new rows are entered. What's the best and quickest way to do it?
In my datawarehouse fact table I have a column (revenue) that I want to populate based on the values of number of columns, for simplicity, say just 2 columns, 'productid' and 'affiliateid'.
I have a revenue lookup table, with those same 2 columns and the amount. So far so simple, but rather than have one row for every possible combination, I use 0 to mean default. For instance, all the affiliates have the same revenue value apart from a couple, so instead of 200 rows identical except for the affiliateid, I have one row with a '0' for the affiliateid and 4 rows with specific affiliateIDs where it differs from the default.
To update the values, I join to the revenues table twice, one for both columns matching, and once for the default. I.E.
UPDATE facttable SET revenue = ISNULL(rev1.revenue, ISNULL(rev2.revenue,0)) FROM facttable FT LEFT OUTER JOIN revenues rev1 ON FT.AffiliateID = rev1.AffilateID and FT.TypeID = rev1.TypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN revenues rev2 ON rev1.AffilateID = 0 and FT.TypeID = rev1.TypeID (In fact, this is over-simplified, because in fact there are 3 columns, so I have to have 8 joins like this).
This works very well, and cuts down the management of revenues significantly, there are a few 100 rows instead of the more than 100,000 there would be if I put every possible combination of values in its own row.
However, now there is a requirement to increase the granularity of the revenue allocation up to 5 columns, which makes 36 joins and there could well be more columns added later.
Has anyone come across a situation like this (and found a neater solution).
I am creating a new filed in SQL Server 2005, and I want the field to have the default of '0'
I select the data type as numeric and save my changes, I then visit our front end database to see if the default value is just '0' but it appears as '0.00'
SO i thought about changing the default value to int (im thinking this means integer?) and changing it to '3' but it still displays the decimal point and two 0's
Am I doing something wrong here? I just want it to display '0'
I am building code to look into the database and create "CRUD" stored procedure scripts automatically for each table. I am in the finishing stages as my procedures take into consideration all necessary parameters and keys wheter they are natural or identity. It also takes into consideration User Defined Types.
I am working on the section which defines the parameters and their default values. ie. CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[TransactionHistoryInsertOne] ( @ProductID Int = 0, @ReferenceOrderID Int = 0, @ReferenceOrderLineID Int = 0, @TransactionDate DateTime = '1/1/1900', <-- Possibly arbitrary @TransactionType nchar(1) = '?' <---- How to get this. @Quantity Int = 0, @ActualCost Money = 0, @ModifiedDate DateTime = '1/1/1900' ) AS...
I have three problems remaining. 1. Using the AdventureWorks database as a data model, I run into the TransactionType field in the TransactionHistory table, a non-nullable nchar(1). How do I determine and use any default values that may be defined for this object? 2. Do UDTs have default values already defined? 3. How do I make sure I am not arbitrarily setting the default values?
Here i my select statement into the system tables:
SELECT C.*, T.name as xtypename, U.name as xutypename, S.*, so.* FROM syscolumns C
left join systypes T on (C.xtype = T.xtype) and (T.xtype = T.xusertype) left join systypes U on C.xusertype = U.xusertype left join sys.all_columns S on (C.id = S.object_id) and (C.name = S.name) left join sysobjects so on S.default_object_id = so.id WHERE (C.id = [TableId])";
We have a report that has about five different parameters. One of the parameters is a float value and we have a default value set at 999,999,999.00 and the report parameter accepts this value. The other parameter (a string) has a default value set at 0, however it is not showing up in the textbox for that parameter. The parameter is non-queried and is just a report parameter.
When we preview the report, it is there. Once we deploy the report to the report server, it is not. Now, the development machine is using SP2, but the Report Server is still at SP1. Could this be the problem? If it is, why would the float default value display and the string default value not?
Im having trouble with RS2005 with regards to dependencies of report parameters and the default value. Below is my scenario:
1st parameter:
List of Letters from A to Z Multiple Select
2nd Parameter:
List of Names starting with the last name Uses 1 data set for list of values and default values Multiple Select
Steps:
Select 2 letters from the 1st parameter. This action would refresh the list of values of the 2nd parameter. Inspect the 2nd parameter. You will notice that all values are selected. Select another letter from the first parameter. This action would refresh the list of values of the 2nd parameter. Inspect the 2nd parameter. You will notice that not all is selected despite the fact that the data set being used to populate the report parameter is the same as with the default values
Is the behavior of the report parameters really like this? If so, how can I make it in a way that whenever I select a new letter from the first parameter and when the 2nd parameter gets refreshed because of the depencies, all values will still be selected despite the number of times I add more values to the first parameter?
Hi, I am trying to replicate some of my production tables into development tables in an automated way. Decided to use the Select INTO command because it seemed to be the easiest way. This command does copy all the col sizes, but does not copy over the "default value or binding" fields. How do I do this? I saw that in create table you can use "INCLUDING COLUMN DEFAULTS "
But this doesn't seem to work for the select into command. Can you tell me how I can do this? Currently the command I am using is:
SELECT * INTO " + DevTableName + " From " + ProdTableName
However, this won't copy over the default column values that I have specified inside the table ProdTableName. Can you tell me how I can do this?
I have a calculated fields in report designer such as a + b + c + d. In sql server if I run this query
select a + b + c + d from table1
and any of a,b,c or d is null, the result is null.
whereas in calculated fields, it does not return null but infact ignores the null value and treats it as zero.
I want my calculated field to be null if any of the values are null. Is it possible? I cannot use the isNothing function because I have too many fields and it will be quite cumbersome.
