SELECT a.boardname, a.description, a.threadcount, a.answercount, a.lastthreadid, b.username, b.subject, b.created FROM forum_board AS a, forum_topics AS b WHERE (a.forumid = @ID) AND (b.id = a.lastthreadid)
The problem here is that lastthreadid does not always have a post linked to it, so sometimes its null. I want it to still return all the boards and then just return
null values or "" in b.username, b.subject, b.created
This returns nothing. How can i force it to select these values?
I have a stored procedure that allows users to select addresses based on partially supplied information from the user. My procedure seems to work fine in all but a few cases. If a user decides to select all the rows for a particular country the procedure below does not return any rows even if the rows exist. I tracked this down to the fact that for Non US countries I set both the StateCode and Country Code to nulls. . Below is a partial version of my code. Can anyone show me how I can do a "Like" Search even if some of the fields in the row contain null values?

I have a really simple query which i can't figure out why its not working. I have a table called 'ADMIN' which has a datetime field called 'date_edited'. Because the majority of records have never been edited, i have allowed null values and they are filled with 'NULL' in each record. How ever, when i try:
SELECT * FROM ADMIN WHERE date_edited = NULL
I get no records, but i can see and know i have hundreds! I know i'm doing somthing really stupid, but for life of me can't figure it out! :eek:
I 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?
Hello,I have a foreign key constraint between two tables (Appointments andMissedAppointmentReasons) and I'd like to allow null values in Appointmentstable for the field containing the MissedAppointmentReason, but currently, Iget a Foreign Key Constraint Error when I try to add a record to theAppointments table.Any ideas how I can have the null values but still maintain the Foreign KeyConstraint?Thanks!Rick
I have an Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2003 format) with a column of values. The column is formated to General (although I've tried it formated to text). The values are alphanumeric. However, there are a few values that are completely numeric.
Example:
_ITEMNUMBER_
1-528
K214-5
184PR
45678
As can be seen, the last value is completely numeric. I am importing into a table with one column that is formated as nvarchar(50).
I use dtswizard.exe and do a simple import into the table and the alphanumeric values import just fine but anytime a value is completely numeric it has a NULL value in the table instead of the value that should be there.
I've tried changing the format of the column to nchar, char, etc, etc. Always comes in NULL.

I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.
i need to perform some searching on 10 columns. Since it will return >1 records/lines, i need to filter, if @param1 match with col1, then abandon those Null value in column1 set, and find match @param2 to col1. @param1='SS', @param2='' (if '' i set to %) til 10
problem is when i want to search only if colX is 'something', it returns null value,.. my where clause
WHERE (d.RecvUDF1 LIKE @UDF1 OR d.RecvUDF1 IS NULL) AND(d.RecvUDF2 LIKE @UDF2 OR d.RecvUDF2 IS NULL) AND(d.RecvUDF3 LIKE @UDF3 OR d.RecvUDF3 IS NULL) AND(d.RecvUDF4 LIKE @UDF4 OR d.RecvUDF4 IS NULL) AND(d.RecvUDF5 LIKE @UDF5 OR d.RecvUDF5 IS NULL ) AND(d.RecvUDF6 LIKE @UDF6 OR d.RecvUDF6 IS NULL) AND(d.RecvUDF7 LIKE @UDF7 OR d.RecvUDF7 IS NULL ) AND(d.RecvUDF8 LIKE @UDF8 OR d.RecvUDF8 IS NULL) AND(d.RecvUDF9 LIKE @UDF9 OR d.RecvUDF9 IS NULL) AND(d.RecvUDF10 LIKE @UDF10 OR d.RecvUDF10 IS NULL )
-i wrote the OR NULL is because i need those nulls value when im not searching for that column.. -i replace '' to '%' because i need to list any other remaining unmatched columns when i found the matching column.
maybe it's quite ridiculous to understand my Q ...coz i couldnt find any other better way to explain thanks in advance
Hy all. My main goal would be to create some kind of map of the database, wich contains information of all connecting fields, including wich fields has key references to the other one and wich table. I'd like to have a table wich shows all the database connections tablename, field, field/table_key (from or to the key points), field_key_type (prymary or foreign) So I thaugh to get sp_fkeys and sp_pkeys from master table and inner joining their results, but I simplay cannot "catch" their result sets. The script must have been written in SQL. Obviously I'd like to do this: SELECT * FROM EXEC sp_fkeys @table_name = 'xy' of course it is not working this way, but I'd like something like this.
Hi All to Transact-SQL Community, I had a problem with NULL selecting, actually i had two tables like,
Transaction Table
ID Image Link INTID(ForeignKey) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 test test 2 2 test1 test1 2 3 test2 test2 NULL 4 test3 test3 NULL
Master Table
INTID Path Link ------------------------------------------------- 1 a.gif test 2 b.gif test
When i am selecting from transaction table, if column INTID has a integer value the it should do innerjoin with Mastertable on TransactionTable.INTID = MasterTable.INTID, and fetch rows TransactionTable and MasterTable, then result should be like this, 1 test test 2 test1 test1 2 b.gif test
and if NULL present then it should fetch only rows from transaction table. Can anyone help on how to do this.

I'm trying to construct code that will return the last non-NULL value in a column containing daily records.
For E.G. I want to know what the LAST value of Description field when it is not NULL, AND the Date is within the range t=1 to t=5 => i.e. "Dog" in the below example:
I 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?
I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database. I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields. It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table. In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters. The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%') If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null> My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>. For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
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.

I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY

I want to check if the tbaddress.address1 tbaddress_address1 if it is =null or empty then make it = tbaddress.address2 tbaddress_address2, at the same time I make the tbaddress.address2 tbaddress_address2, null. Otherwise leave it as it is.
Actually, I am working with the report and the tbaddress.address1 carrying the apt number. if there is no aprt # then the line print blanks. so that brings the empty line between the street address and the citystate line. That is what i am tryig to cover. There could be a way to do this from the crystal report but I am thinking of doing this way cause I can't get the solution to do it from the crystal report.

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via: a. DETACH / ATTACH b. BACKUP / RESTORE c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result? 2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases? 3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
Hi,I have a message system, where people insert their message to the database, and others pick up their messages by selecting messages that have their username as the reciever ID.I have just intoduced bulk message sending - sending to multiple users. This requires many usernames being entered into the recievername column, seperated by a comma.Is there a way to select messages if the column name contains their username, rather than is their username? Because there may be more than one name, I would like everyone that has their name in the column to be able to retrieve the message, even if they arent the only reciever..Please ask if more explanation is needed!Thanks,Jon

This is probably the wrong category to post my question in. Apologies if it is.
I have got a Data Flow Task that has an OLE DB Source and a Flat file destination.
Is there a way to do the following:
SELECT id,'31809','C:LCImportDataImages' & id & '.jpg', '1' FROM table1
This obviously doesn't work but I want to insert the id from the table, followed by the value '31809', followed by 'C:LCImportDataImagesid.jpg', followed by '1'
So, the id in 'C:LCImportDataImagesid.jpg' is the same as the id from the table.
