I am having a column subdate as smalldatetime.
The field can have null values. But I am not able to insert null values into the database.
i tried using subdate="". But it inserts some min value of my calendar popup.
Is there a way that i could insert null values into smalldatetime field of the SQl database.
Thanks,

Problems With Inserting Null Values
Dec 14, 2000Hi,
We are using an SQL Server database and seem to be having some problems with inserting null values into numeric fields. The field is set to accept nulls, but when we try and write a record into the database and that field is null, the application craps out on us. Are there any issues that we should be aware of when inserting null values into numeric fields? What might the problem be? Thanks.
SQLXMLBULKLOAD Not Inserting Null Values
May 3, 2006i have attached XML and XSD file
i bulkload xml file into 2 tables .ManifestID is the Relationship between 2 tables
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[BIOS_DataLoader_LDR_Manifest_Detail] (

) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
When the first TrackCodeid is NULL
all remaining NULL TrackCodeid is entered as null in the database table
but if the first/prev trackcodeID is not NULL then following null trackCODEID is populated with the prev trackcodeID and not as null in database
<TrackCodeId>ABCDEFG</TrackCodeId>
All Null TrackCOdeID is populated as ABCDEFG
if we remove ABCDEFG and then bulkload all null values are populated
if a null trackCODEID is to be inserted the prev trackCODEID must be null and must not contain any value
Inserting NULL Values On Date Fields Trhough DAL

Efficiency In Inserting Null Values Into Fields Which Allow Nulls.
Aug 9, 2004Hi,
I have fields in my table which allow nulls. Is it efficient to not insert anything (the field automatically shows up as null in this case) and leave or store some value into it. The field is a smallint field?

Inserting Empty Values Into NOT NULL Columns Via ODBC
Jul 20, 2005We are writing a C application that is using ODBC to insert recordsinto a database. We have a NOT NULL column that can legitimately havean empty value, i.e. we know the value and it is empty (i.e. a zerolength string).We are using SQLBindParameter() to bind a variable to theparameterized insert statement <<in the form: INSERT INTO table VALUES(?, ?, ?)>>. We are using SQLExecDirect() to process the SQL.We are running into the problem where ODBC is converts the empty (zerolength) string into a NULL value and this errors due to the fact thatthe column is defined as NOT NULL.We do not want to redefine the column as NULL, becasue myunderstanding of the correct usage of a NULL column is to indicatethat a value is unknown or meaningless... in our case we know thevalue (it is empty) and an empty value has meaning within ourapplication.I'm sure that this issue has been seen and address thousands(millions?) of times... any guidance would be appreciated.

Jan 25, 2008I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Smalldatetime Field Goes To Null When I Update Record
Dec 17, 2007Hello - I have a column in a table (SQL 2005 EE) with a Data Type of smalldatetime and a Default Value of getdate(). When I insert a record from my webpage the new record contains the correct date via getdate(). However if I update the record from my webpage the date of the record then becomes NULL. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do about this from sql server? I am inserting/updating via an formview and ODS, using standard insert/update methods.

How Can I Find Values Outside Of The Smalldatetime Range?
Mar 25, 2008I have a field which is currently of the "date time" data type. i want to convert it to smalldatetime, but everytime I try, i get an error of the "The conversion from datetime data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in a smalldatetime overflow error. " sort.
I have tried to find the values which are out of the smalldatetime range, with the following query
SELECT *
FROM midmar
WHERE bday BETWEEN '01/01/1900' AND '06/05/2079'
Which doesn't quite work, and gives me values that are actually between those two values listed.
I have also tried having the WHERE clause read:
WHERE bday <'06/06/2079' AND
bday>'01/01/1900'
and that doesn't really work either.
What's going on? Is there likely another problem besides the structuring of my queries?

View 3 Replies View RelatedNULL Values Returned When Reading Values From A Text File Using Data Reader.
Feb 23, 2007I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Null Values For Datetime Values Converted To '0001-01-01'
Mar 29, 2006Hi
can somebody explain me how I can assign a NULL value to a datetime type field in the script transformation editor in a data flow task.
In the script hereunder, Row.Datum1_IsNull is true, but still Row.OutputDatum1 will be assigned a value '0001-01-01' which generates an error (not a valid datetime). All alternatives known to me (CDate("") or Convert.ToDateTime("") or Convert.ToDateTime(System.DBNull.Value)) were not successful.
Leaving out the ELSE clause generates following error: Error: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.
If Not Row.Datum1_IsNull Then
Row.OutputDatum1 = Row.Datum1
Else
Row.OutputDatum1 = CDate(System.Convert.DBNull)
End If
Any help welcome.

INSERTing A String Containing NULL ( ) From PHP App
Jul 1, 2006Folks, this isn't exactly a 'Getting Started' question, but I couldn't find a more appropriate Application Development forum.
I'm porting an open source PHP application (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gallery) to use SQL Server as a backend. One of Gallery's unit test scripts tests the ability to insert a string containing a NULL character ( ). It's OK if the string is truncated during insertion, just so long as everything before the is there.
The string being inserted looks like:
$testString = "The NULL character should be escaped !";
(Note the between "escaped " and " !")
The error that the Gallery test script is getting is:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'The NULL character should be escaped '.] in EXECUTE("INSERT INTO g2_PluginParameterMap (g_pluginType, g_pluginId, g_itemId, g_parameterName, g_parameterValue) VALUES ('module','unitTestModule',1,'test19476','The NULL character should be escaped !')")
It looks like SQL Server is complaining about the syntax. I've written a much simpler test script in the hopes of reproducing the problem, but I don't know if what I'm now hitting is the same problem or a different one.
My simple script is:
<?php
$localhost = exec("hostname");
$database = "gallery2";
$uid = "g2user";
$pwd = "g2pwd";
$connectString = "Host=PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={SQL Server};";
$connectString .= "SERVER=$localhost\sqlexpress;";
$connectString .= "DATABASE=$database;";
$connectString .= "UID=$uid;PWD=$pwd";
$sqlTableDrop = "drop table ljmtemp";
$sqlTableCreate = "create table ljmtemp (col1 nvarchar(100))";
$sqlTableQuery = "select len(col1) from ljmtemp";
// Connect to the db
$db = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO");
$db->open($connectString);
// Drop & recreate the table
$db->Execute ($sqlTableDrop);
$db->Execute ($sqlTableCreate);
// Insert the test data
//$testString = "The NULL character should be escaped !";
$testString = "This is a test string.";
$res = $db->Execute("insert into ljmtemp (col1) values ('$testString')");
if (!$res) die ("INSERT failed");
// Disconnect from the db
$db->Close();
?>
And it results in:
C:MyServer>php testMsSqlInsertNull.php
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Description: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Unclosed quotation mark after the character string 'The NULL character should be escaped '.' in C:MyServer estMsSqlInsertNull.php:27
Stack trace:
#0 C:MyServer estMsSqlInsertNull.php(27): com->Execute('insert into ljm...')
#1 {main}
thrown in C:MyServer estMsSqlInsertNull.php on line 27
I'm not sure if this is the same problem as Gallery is reporting or another one.
It looks like somebody is treating the as a string terminator, but when i double the backslash the literal ' ' is inserted into the database.
How can I get SQL Server to insert at least everything up to the ?
Hopefully once I have my simple script working I'll be able to figure out what's wrong in the Gallery test.
Thanks.
Inserting NULL Into Datetime Field
Aug 17, 2007I have a datetime field in a database which I am programmatically inserting values into. The field can be null or not null. However, I am having problems inserting NULL as part of my SQLCommand.
The value is pulled from a text box (linked to a calendar extender) and when I select a value it is being inserted fine. If I just leave the box blank though, I want the field to be set to NULL. I have tried adding in ,DBNULL.Value, as part of my VALUES(…) string, but this throws an exception. I Have tried just inserting ‘’ but that also throws an exception (“The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value�), so I don’t know how I can insert this value when the field is blank?
Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedCannot Set Numeric To Null Before Inserting To Table
Jun 21, 2007Hi,
I have a flat file whose data looks like this:
"Opening Balance", Acct1234, 1001.01
"Closing Balance", Acct1234, 1001.01
In my script component for "Opening Balance", I set my output columns like this:
Row.AccountNumber = CDate(rowValues(1)
Row.OpeningBalance = CDec(rowValues(2))
Row.ClosingBalance = Nothing
Because I don't have a value for ClosingBalance in this row, I set ClosingBalance = Nothing.
And for "Closing Balance", I set my output columns like this, because there's no value for OpeningBalance.
Row.AccountNumber = CDate(rowValues(1)
Row.OpeningBalance = Nothing
Row.ClosingBalance = Nothing
Then, in my column mappings I map OpeningBalance = OpeningBalance and ClosingBalance = ClosingBalance.
The idea being that if there's no value, then it should be set to NULL. However, in my table, I see that instead of NULLs, there's 0.00000. Which is not what I want to see.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
INSTEAD OF Trigger - Error Inserting Into NOT NULL Field
Oct 7, 2004I've just noticed some strange behavior that seems like a bug to me.
It's much easier to follow an example of it that to outright explain it, so here goes.
I have a table defined with a NOT NULL constraint on a column and a default clause:
-- DROP TABLE TestTable
CREATE TABLE TestTable ( TestField0 varchar(10), TestField1 varchar(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('a') )
I have a view defined on the table, in this example case, the view just mirrors the table one to one:
-- DROP VIEW TestView
CREATE VIEW TestView as SELECT TestField0, TestField1 FROM TestTable
So far so good, if I run this statement, it works as I would expect and inserts the value and the default goes into the other field:
INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Now... If I add an INSTEAD OF trigger to the view, and have it perform the insert for me, I get an error with the same insert stmt:
-- DROP TRIGGER TestTrigger
CREATE TRIGGER TestTrigger ON TestView
INSTEAD OF INSERT AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TestTable (TestField0, TestField1)
SELECT TestField0, COALESCE(TestField1, 'X')
FROM inserted
END
Notice the trigger will ensure that a null value cannot be inserted into TestField1. If I run this insert stmt though I get an error:
INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Server: Msg 233, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The column 'TestField1' in table 'TestView' cannot be null.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Thanks
Inserting Text Value Into Null Records In A Grid
Feb 11, 2014I have written up a grid consisting of properties and units.The way it works is we have properties, and within properties there are units. They are two seperate tables.Some properties do not have any units so in the unit reference (UN_UREF) column for those records which do not have units and are NULL I would like to insert the text 'NO UNIT'.Please see below for my SQL for the grid which works fine.
create or replace view VWC_PROPMKUNIT_TEST AS ( SELECT
PR_SNAM, PR_NAME, PR_ADD1, PR_ADD2, PR_ADD3, PR_ADD4, PR_ADD5, PR_ADD6,
PR_POST, PR_OWN, UN_UREF, UN_NAME, UN_GFA
FROM PROP
LEFT JOIN UNIT
ON PR_SNAM=UN_BREF);
All I need to do now is insert 'NO UNIT' within the Unit Reference column where it is NULL.
