Querying When Some Values Are Null

Mar 5, 2007

I wonder if someone out there can help me. I am writing an ASP application to query a MSSQL database. The users will be able to use one or all of 4 columns. There may be time when the columns are empty (null). How can I write a select query to ignore null values? A rough example of what I am talking about it below.
select * from table where value1='something' value2=<null> value3='something' value4=<null>
 I would like to ignore the null values so that in effect the statement would just do the following.
select * from table where value1='something' and value3='something'
 I realize my syntax is wrong but I think you get the idea. Any thoughts?

Problem With Isnull. Need To Substitute Null If A Var Is Null And Compare It To Null And Return True

Sep 20, 2006

Hey. 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

Integration Services :: SSIS Insert Non Null Value Into Null Rows

Jul 15, 2015

I have a flat file with the following columns

SampleID   Rep_Number   Product  Protein   Fat   Solids

In the flat file SampleID and Product are populated in the first row only, rest of the rows only have values for Rep_Number, Protein, Fat, Solids.

SampleID and Product are blank for the rest of the rows. So my task is to fill those blank rows with the first row that has the sampleID and Product and load into the table.

Subscription Issue With Null Default Parameter - Key Cannot Be Null

May 3, 2007

I 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, 2007

I 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, 2006

Hello.

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, 2015

We 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 .

Case 
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)  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"?

Querying Help

Sep 9, 2007




I'm a newbie to SQL and wanted to see if someone could help me write a query. I store historical options data in a SQL data base and I'm trying to create a query that will retrieve all ATM (at the money options).

For each unique stock symbol (STOCK_SYMBOL) in my database find the strike price (STRIKE) which is closest to the stock price (UND_LAST). This will be refined by the EXPIRATION and OPT_TYPE

The following query returns all options not just ATM options.

SELECT STOCK_SYMBOL, UND_LAST, STRIKE, EXPIRATION FROM DATA

WHERE EXPIRATION > '2007-02-01 00:00:00'
AND EXPIRATION < '2007-02-28 00:00:00'
AND OPT_TYPE = 'CALL'


Related DB fields.

STOCK_SYMBOL
STRIKE
UND_LAST
OPT_TYPE

EXPIRATION

Any help would be appreciated.

Querying SAP Through

Nov 8, 2007

I am using MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard (.net framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite. )

as a interface between SAP and MS SQL 2005.

Once the connection is created i can use basic query to fetch the data from SAP tables
ie., SELECT * FROM AFPO

But say I want to EXTRACT data just for month of July from AFPO.

AFPO does not have date field so you have to join AFPO to AUFK and AUFK to COEP to fetch the date as a criteria to restrict data for the month of July .

This can be done in ABAP by view or Interim Table, if you have Developer Key.

Can anyone please tell me if aforesaid is possible with MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard query ?

How does time affect this?

Querying SQL Views

Jan 27, 2008

 If you create a view such as   CREATE VIEW TestView AS Select * FROM customers_table WHERE CustomerID between 213 AND 3443  Each time you want to select from the view - is the View going to perform the WHERE clause on the customers_table, or not? Or does the view already have the virtual rows?, meaning it does not have to perform a where clause  (WHERE CustomerID between 213 AND 3443) on the customers_table, and just performs an inner join with the rows it already has?

Is ther syntax similar to querying a SQL table?In fact is this best way to go about things?Any help would be appreciated.G

Querying A View

Apr 20, 2006

Hi guys

im struggling to see what im doing wrong with the following SQL, wondering if it has something to do with the subquery being a view...cant think why though


select value from table
where type = 'Extra Mailbox'
and active = 1
and value not in
(select login from view)
order value

The view returns a list of logins and the type field is also a list of logins. I want to filter the list of logins that do not appear in the subquery....

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Querying Two Tables

May 23, 2008

This is my problem

Table A Columns:

OriginatingNumber,
TerminatingNumber

Both of these columns contain npanxx numbers which would be the first 6 digits of a phone number, example 217345 which is in illinois.

Table B Columns:

npanxx,
state

table B hold all npanxx numbers in the united states and what state it pertains to.

what i need to do is run a query to check and see what state the OriginatingNumber and the TerminatingNumber are in and decide if both numbers passed are in the same state or not.

so for example in Table A Row 1: OriginatingNumber is 217345 and the TerminatingNumber is 309454. I need to check both of these numbers against table B and it would return that both numbers are in IL. Basically I need to return a result of yes or no. yes they are in the same state or no they are not in the same state.

Any help would be great

Thanks for reading,

Nick

Querying Table More Than Once

Jun 12, 2008

Hi All

Thx in advanced for any help anyone can offer me.

I have 2 tables Staff and Class which are as follows

Staff
ID (Primary Key)
FirstName
MiddleName
Surname
Etc. . .

Class
ID (Primary key)
LessonTemplateID
TeacherID
TermID
AssistantID

LessonTemplateID and TermID link to other tables which i don't need right now.

The Class.TeacherID and Class.AssistantID both link to the Staff.ID

I am trying to create a query where i can say i want to select a class.ID of lets say 12 and display both the Teachers name and the Assistants Name.

If i do just one join between Staff.ID and lets say Class.TeacherID all is fine and i can display the teacher.FirstName for a particular class.ID. However my problem is when im trying to display both teacher and assistant. Every time i try to create a query to do this the query comes back blank.

Im really stuck on this and just can't figure it out (is it even possible?).

Thx for any help Scott.

Querying Other Databases

Apr 21, 2007

Hi All,
I am very new to sql and I am not really sure of what I am doing.

I have a bit of a complicated stored procedure that I am trying out. There is 3 parts to it to search for new articles,updates and discontinued articles for a particular Supplier. Right now I am just trying to get the first part working - I am trying to query another database that has 4 tables, 2 are joined ActiveArticle & ActiveArticlePrice and the other 2 are also joined UpdateArticle & UpdateArticlePrice. But all tables also hold data for ALL Suppliers, they are recognised by a GUID - SupplierGuid.

I want to compare them to each other to see if there are any new articles added to the Update tables. This is what I have so far, I was hoping someone could tell me if they see some obvious mistakes(I'm sure theres many!). For the first select, I tried adding a couple of parameters Flag and Text to use so that I can order it all once i have the 3 parts working. But I don't know the syntax is right, because then I also want to select all fields in both tables?.

CREATE PROCEDURE Portal_GetPriceListUpdates
(

@SupplierGUID uniqueidentifier
)
AS

SELECT 'A' AS FLAG, 'New Product' AS TEXT, * FROM SupplierUnits.UpdateArticle UA, SupplierUnits.UpdateArticlePrice UAP WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM UA, UAP WHERE UA.SupplierGuid=@SupplierGUID AND UA.SupplierArticleNumber NOT IN (SELECT SupplierArticleNumber FROM SupplierUnits.ActiveArticle.SupplierArticleNumber))

GO

I would appreciate any help!
Thanks,

Querying A Linked DB Through ASP.NET

Sep 8, 2007

Guys ...

I have a SQL SERVER 2005 running on my local machine. My local machine is also configure for web applications through IIS.

There is a remote oracle db, which is maintained by another department. They gave us read only access but they discourage web access over their oracle database.

Even if you try to access it through web ... they come to know that certain logins are trying to access it through web ... How ... i dont know.

Now what i did is linked that oracle database with my SQL server 2005 and developed an ASP.NET application which is indirectly accessing oracle database though my SQL Server 2005.

Whenever a user visits my web application on the backend the authentication done on my sql server but the query runs on linked oracle server... as I open connection to my sql server 2005

do you guys think that Oracle database administrator can ever know that his oracle db is access through a web application. whereas they allow us to copy required data on our machines through SQL Server 2005?
