Finding NULL Values
Apr 10, 2007I want to write a query to bring out any records in a table
where any of its fields contain a null value. I could do it in this way:
select *
from
customers
where name is
null
or role
is null
or email
is null

Finding 'null' Date Fields With Query?
Apr 19, 1999I know I am missing something basic, here.
I have a date field in a table. The field is 'allowed Nulls'. When a certain thing happens in the program, the date is filled in.
At various times, I need to do a query to find all the rows that have no dates entered.
What do I use in my where clause? SQL server does not like 'where date = null.'
Thanks,

Return Null Results
Mar 24, 2004Hi,
I have this problem with MS SQL Server.
I have this table 'Request' in which there's 2 fields 'RequestName' and 'DateSubmitted'.
The datatype for 'DateSubmitted' is datetimn.
I have to write a query to extract all the 'RequestName' that falls under each month based on the 'DateSubmitted'.
For example, the table 'Request' has 12 rows, each row ('DateSubmitted') with the month of the year. Like row1 = January, row2 = February etc.
For each month, I have to extract all the 'RequestName' for that month based on 'DateSubmitted' field.
My query is like this:
select RequestName, datename(month, DateSubmitted)as month
from Request where datename(month, DateSubmitted) = 'March'.
By right it should return just one row right?
Instead, it returned me all 12 rows, only one row with value 'March' and the other 11 rows with value 'NULL'. Even if the other 11 rows have value of other months, when i run the above query, it will return me null.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks a million.
Null Values In Results To File
May 19, 2008When exporting the results of a query to a file any values that are null are displayed as NULL in the file. Is there anyway to have them be blank instead? I looked around in the Studio but couldn't find anything that would do this globaly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDataReader Returns Different Results When There Are Null Fields
Mar 10, 2004If I query sql server I get 10 results. But when I use if (myReader.Read()) I get only 7 results. I found that there was a Null field in the DB. I changed it and it worked.
The problem is I don't want to touch the database and set all null fields. There must be a way to get all results including the Null using sqlDataReader so that if (myReader.Read()) is used it does the right comparison.
// This code is called 10 times with a select * from where item="xxx"

Management Studio Grid Results, How Do I Get NULL Fields Auto-colored?
Jan 23, 2008Perhaps I was seeing things earlier, and it's really a minor thing, but when I display query results in Management Studio, isn't there a setting that turns the background of cells containing NULL to a pale yellow color? I could've sworn it used to do this, and I've searched high and low for a preference setting, but no joy.
Does this setting exist?

Problem With Isnull. Need To Substitute Null If A Var Is Null And Compare It To Null And Return True
Sep 20, 2006Hey. 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

Need To Display Results Of A Query, Then Use A Drop Down List To Filter The Results.
Feb 12, 2008Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

Subscription Issue With Null Default Parameter - Key Cannot Be Null
May 3, 2007I have a report that is run on a monthly basis with a default date of null. The stored procedure determines the month-end date that it should use should it be sent a null date.
The report works fine when I tell it to create a history entry; however, when I try to add a subscription it doesn't appear to like the null parameter value. Since I have told the report to have a default value of null it doesn't allow me to enter a value on the subscription page.
Now, I suppose I could remove the parameter altogether from the stored proc, but then the users would never be able to run the report for a previous time period. Can someone explain to me why default values aren't allowed to be used on subscriptions when they seem to work fine for ad hoc and scheduled reports? This is really quite frustrating as most of my reports require a date value and default to null so that the user doesn't have to enter them for the latest data.
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
Key cannot be null. Parameter name: key
Returned SQLParam.SqlValue Is {Null} But Can't Test For Null?
Nov 5, 2007I run a stored procedure for which I have a return variable. The stored procedure returns the ID of a row in a table if it exists:
m_sqlCmd.ExecuteScalar();
The m_sqlCmd has been fed an SQLParameter with direction set to output.
When the stored proc returns, I want to test it. Now when there IS a row it returns the ID ok.
When the row doesn't exist, in my watch I have:
m_sqlParam.SqlValue with value {Null}
I can't seem to work out how to test this value out.
I've tried several things but none seem to work.
This line compiles ok, but the following runs into the IF statement as if the SqlValue is null??
if (m_sqlParam.SqlValue != null)....
{
// I'm here!! I thought the watch says this is null???
}
Sorry if this is obvious, but I can't work this one out!!

WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT Not Working?
May 3, 2006Hello.
I've built a sample CLR function with the following declaration....
CREATE FUNCTION GetManager(@DeptCode nvarchar(3))
RETURNS nvarchar(1000)
WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
AS
EXTERNAL NAME Assembly1.[ClassLibrary1.MyVBClass].MyManager
And it works as expected, except when I use NULL:
DECLARE @MyManager nvarchar(1000)
EXEC @MyManager = dbo.GetManager NULL
PRINT @MyManager
It returns the value "Unknown" as it would have for any unknown DeptCode, as-programmed.
I'm of the theory it should have returned NULL without actually firing the function? Or is this only for non-CLR items... or stored procedures, not functions?
Transact SQL :: Database Null Value And String Null
Oct 27, 2015We have a case where in we should show date based on conditions for e.g if we had a column defined as
col varchar(10) then we would show col as 'NULL' for some condition and actual value when no condition
Normaly date values are stored here e.g under col 20150901 .
CaseÂ
when col>'20150901' then 'NULL'
else col
end as Derivedcol
Note this is an extract process and we are presenting data by pumping the data in a table .
Now there is another similar column -colz varchar(10) Â which stores date but doesnt have case condition so whenever date has no value its shows null which is database null.
So whats the difference between database null and string null ?
 How can we show database null for the case condition instead of string "null"?
