I 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,
Judith

Suppose I have added a xyz bit column in mytable. From now onwards new values inserted in mytable will have 0 or 1 in xyz column but the values that were previously stored will have NULL value in xyz column.
Now I want to write a query in which I will not give xyz parameter always like it can be null or value.
select * from mytable
where class='something'
and xyz is null
or
select * from mytable
where class='something'
and xyz = 1
Now how to write same query for both cases.
I have a query that is behaving a little a weird. here is the example:
i have 1 table in this table i have 2 columns wich are date and time
DATE_DEBUT_PERIODE_FISCALE DATE_FIN_PERIODE_FISCALE
------------------------------ ---------------------------
1/27/1997 2/27/1997
1/1/2005 2/6/2005
here is my query:
BEGIN
declare @datefin_flag datetime, @strip datetime
SELECT @strip = dateadd(d,datediff(d,0,getdate()),0)
SELECT @datefin_flag = DATE_FIN_PERIODE_FISCALE FROM DM_LKP_CALENDRIER_PERIODE_F
WHERE DATE_DEBUT_PERIODE_FISCALE < @strip AND DATE_FIN_PERIODE_FISCALE = @strip
--select @datefin_flag
--select @strip
IF(@datefin_flag != @strip)
RAISERROR('You cant run this',16,1)
END
Well this Query should return the raiserror it returns completes successfuly
since todays date is not the same as the date in the database.
if you select @datefin_flag it returns NULL and if you select @strip it brings back todays date how can NULL be equal to to todays date assuming that todays date is equal to NULL. ?
HI
I have three different columns as email1,email2 , email3.I am concatinating these columns into one i.e EMail like
select ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email1, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email2, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email3, N'') AS Email from tablename.
One eg of the output of the above query when email2,email3 are having null values in the table is :
jacky_foo@mfa.gov.sg;;
means it is inserting semicoluns whenever there is a null value in the particular column. I want to remove this extra semicolumn whenever there is null value in the column.
Please let me know how can i do this
Using c# in the compact framework, is there a way to do a parameterized query for counting the number of records where a specified column is null. I tried all of these, but none of them work:
cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlInt32.Null));
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";
cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", DBNull.Value));
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";
cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlInt32.Null));
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";
cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", DBNull.Value));
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;
cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;
cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";
md.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";
Whenever I use a "is not" in the query I get an exception, otherwise it returns a count of 0 which is not accurate. Any help will be appreciated.
I am having trouble trying to filter my sql database using the query string against a date column in my database. I set a date variable = "dd/mm/yyy" format but when I apply that in the sql query as:
StartPeriod = CDate("01/" & Today.Month.ToString & "/" & Today.Year.ToString)
EndPeriod = CDate(Today.Day.ToString & "/" & Today.Month.ToString & "/" & Today.Year.ToString)
At this point StartPeriod = #04/01/2015# and EndPeriod is #04/27/2015#
sql = "SELECT * FROM Transactions WHERE ((PaidOutDate IS Null) OR (TransDate >= '" & StartPeriod & "' AND TransDate <= '" & EndPeriod & "')
When I execute the Sql command I get this error:

Hi all,
One of my columns is the table has some Null values, and I Would like to stop having NULL values into that column any more.
I know, If I alter the column to NOT NULL will throw me an error, since it does a batch update.
Is there any way to achieve this...
Thanks...

We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](
[Code] ....
The script I am using is
DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change
DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column
DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed
DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table
DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script
[Code] ....
When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Looking at the strings I build
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.
I receive this message when I try to run any report. The reportserver and reportservertempdb databases were upgraded using backup/restore from SQL2000 to SQL2005 on a separate server which is running RS2005 . Please help. Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an SSIS package that moves data from SQL Server to an legacy Access database. In SQL Server, there is a date/time column that I need to split into a separate date column and time column in the access database. Initially I just created a derrived column for the time and set the expression equal to the source date/time column from SQL Server. Unfortunately, that just makes the date column and time column the same having the full date/time.
What expression can I use during a derrived column transformation to assign just the date to a derrived column and just the time to another derrived column?
Thanks,
Steve

The insert column I am trying to get into is a date type. The original state of the field is YYYYMM varchar. How to get this into the table.
CREATE TABLE #Dateissue
(ID int,
Code nvarchar (20),
Datein datetime,
Declined datetime )
[Code] .....
I have a table here. I want find a way of getting the latest date, when the code is the same. If the Declined date is null. Then I still want the latest date. E.g. ID 3.
If the declined date is filled in. Then I want to get the row, when the Datein column value is greater then the declined date only.
I tried grouping it by max date, but i got an error message when trying this out. Against the code
WHERE MAX(Datein) > Declined
An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference. What do I need to do to get both my outputs working?
So my data column [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is defined as a DATE column. I am trying to SELECT from my table where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is today's date.
SELECT*

Is this not working because GETDATE() is like a timestamp format? How can I get this to work to return those rows where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is equal to today's date?

I need to compare the contents of a column.
I have a table with 1 column. Below are the sample contents..
DateInterval
2012-06-01 00:30:00.000
2012-06-01 01:00:00.000
2012-06-01 01:30:00.000
2012-06-01 02:00:00.000
2012-06-01 02:30:00.000
[code]....
as you can see, the records have a 30minutes time interval. i need to create a query to know if there are missing records in the table. so basically the result should be this:
DateInterval
2012-06-01 18:00:00.000
2012-06-01 20:30:00.000
if it is not doable, we can get the nearest record of all missing records like this:
DateInterval
2012-06-01 17:30:00.000
2012-06-01 20:00:00.000
or this:
DateInterval
2012-06-01 18:30:00.000
2012-06-01 21:00:00.000
or this:
DateInterval
2012-06-01 17:30:00.000
2012-06-01 18:30:00.000
2012-06-01 20:00:00.000
2012-06-01 21:00:00.000

I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
I have a table that has a date field that can't be null. When a new record is created, if a date is not passed in, I want the default to be the current date. How can I set that? I tried Now, Today, GetDate, etc. Diane
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a problem with a SQL that check if a date column IS NULL.
On one server the check work ok but on another (the same data is on both - restored copy) the check does not find any NULL values.
If check where datecolumn =convert(datetime,'9999-12-31 23:59:59.000',121) I get the same result as when checking for NULL in the other.
Is there any parameter set somewhere that tell the server to return a value even if NULL is stored in the database?

Hi 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.
