Pass In Null/blank Value In The Date Field Or Declare The Field As String And Convert
Dec 30, 2003I 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.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute
End

How To Add NULL To INT Field
Jun 12, 2007Hi all,
I have a table, named systems, with fields as follows.
field datatype
___________________
system varchar(50)
modelID int
.... ....
... .... etc...
The modelID field is related to the Models table. Therefore, the value it expects is a number that already exists in a Models.modelID field.
In the systems table, I allow nulls for the model ID field. If I edit the table directly through SQL front end it allows me to enter a system name for example and leave modelID value as NULL.
My problem occurs when I try inserting into the table from ASP. Whether I leave the value I'm passing to the stored procedure for insert blank or NULL it gives me problems.
Is this a typical issue that can be resolved with a simple property change?
Please help me resolve this, I need to have the ability to leave certain fields empty even though they are related to other tables. Is that possible?
Thank you for any help in advance.

Mar 26, 2008Hello all,
Can some one help me with this issue. It seems to be a common question and I have tried a lot of options but nothing seems to work for me.
I have a text box and this is linked to ajax calendar extender. They get a date and I am inserting/updating the date in a sql 2000 database using a stored procdure.
This is the code I use to grab the data from my web form
If txtTrimsEntryDate.Text = String.Empty Then
_oTrim.TrimsEntryDate = System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null
Else_oTrim.TrimsEntryDate = CDate(txtTrimsEntryDate.Text)
End If
If txtEstCompletion.Text = String.Empty Then
_oTrim.EstCompletionDate = System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null
Else_oTrim.EstCompletionDate = CDate(txtEstCompletion.Text)
End If
If txtProjectClosedDate.Text = String.Empty Then
_oTrim.CloseDate = System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.Null
Else_oTrim.CloseDate = CDate(txtProjectClosedDate.Text)
End If
_oTrim.InsertOrUpdateAProject()
This is the code for the stored Procedure
Dim oSql As clsSqlServer = Nothing
oSql = New clsSqlServer(AppSettings(_dbName))oSql.AddParameter("@projTrimsEntryDate ", _trimsEntryDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)
oSql.AddParameter("@projStartDate", _startDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)oSql.AddParameter("@estCompletionDate", _estCompletionDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)
oSql.AddParameter("@closeDate", _closeDate, SQLDataType.SQLDateTime, ParameterDirection.Input)
Now when it inserts or updates if the value is null then it inserts "01/01/1900" in the database. I want the value to be Null in database.
Is there a way to do this.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Always Set A Field To NULL
Jan 26, 2015I would like to force a column to be null all the time. I cannot alter the table structure or alter the code that inserts data.
create table dbo.tblCustomer
(
CID int IDENTITY(1,1) not null,
Fnamevarchar(20) not null,
Lnamevarchar(20) not null,
Extravarchar(20) null
[Code] ....
So when this is executed the field Extra is always NULL
INSERT INTO tblCustomer (Fname, Lname, Extra)
VALUES ('bob', 'smith', 'ignore'), ('jane', 'doe', 'empty')
update dbo.tblCustomer set Extra = 'something'
If I've understood After triggers correctly the data will be written and the trigger will fire and overwrite. To avoid 2 writes
I could create an INSTEAD OF trigger
CREATE TRIGGER TR_I_Customer
ON tblCustomer
INSTEAD OF INSERT AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO tblCustomer
(Fname, Lname, Extra)
SELECT Fname, Lname, NULL
FROM Inserted
END
This will not write the "extra" field twice. However if a new Nullable column were added; it would be v.easy to forget to update the Instead Of trigger. Everything would still work OK but I would be effectively ignoring the new column as well.
What I would like in the instead of trigger is do something like this...
UPDATE INSERTED SET Extra=NULL
Continue with insert without supplying column /value list.
What would be the best way of achieving this, trigger is the only way I could think of?

Doing A 'between' On A NULL In A Date Field
Mar 29, 2007Hi everyone,
I have two tables - caseinfo and steps.
Caseinfo shows when a particular case entered and exited a particular project. If the project hasn't ended yet, then the end date is NULL.
Steps shows the steps the case has gone through and the dates of those particular steps.
I need to join the tables to show the steps the case went through during a particular project, but I'm having trouble with the NULL values in the end dates.
If I join the tables so that the step date is between the start and end dates of the project, then I get no step information for the cases where the end date is NULL (that is, where the project hasn't ended yet).
Does anybody have any ideas?
Here are my tables, the query that shows the main idea (with the wrong result), and my expected results.
Thank you for reading.

set dateformat ymd

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

Searching A Database Field For Null Value
Feb 27, 2008Hi,
I am building a website in ASP.net C# for a university project, and would like to search a table (Member) for a field (UserName) using a session variable Session["sUserName"]. If that field is null, then I would like to insert that session variable into the field to start to create a new user. However, I am getting errors saying that I am using invalid expression terms. My code is;
//Create the Command, passing in the SQL statement and the ConnectionString queryString = "SELECT UserName FROM Member WHERE (UserName = @myUsername); ";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn);cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
//If UserName is null, display confirmation, else display errorif (UserName == null) ;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "Username okay";
String queryString = "INSERT INTO Member (UserName) VALUES(@myUsername); ";SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn); cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
}else;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "That username is in use";
}
I have a feeling I should be checking the database for the UserName, but I'm not sure whether to put this in the SELECT statement part or as a method... I would be most grateful for any advice!
Many thanks,

View 2 Replies View RelatedT-SQL (SS2K8) :: Field Has No Value But Is Not NULL Or Empty?
Aug 13, 2015I added a new field to an existing ETL process which uses SSIS to ingest a CSV file. The new field in the file, Call_Transaction_ID, will not always be populated for every record and so can be NULL or empty for certain records.
Here's the problem:After the file is extracted into a staging table, the Call_Transaction_ID field is showing blank or empty when it has no ID for that particular record. The problem is when I try to then ETL this data into a fact table - I'm trying to set the Call_Transaction_ID field to -1 if it is NULL or empty, however SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty even though there is no value in the field so -1 will NEVER return.
Using a WHERE DATALENGTH(Call_Transaction_ID) = 0 returns 0 records, again because SQL Server doesn't see the field as empty or NULL.
What do I do now to get around this? How do I fix it?
