SQL Parameter Update Not Updating Changed Null/blank Values
Oct 24, 2006I am attempting to update a sql db using the update and parameter code in VB.net 2003 through MSDE for a web application. It updates changed data OK, but if the textbox value is deleted, the code does not update the sql db. I am new to this, and I'm sure it is something simple. Here is some sample code.
SqlConnection1.Open()
strSQLu = "UPDATE table1 " _
& "SET Field1Tag = @Field1Tag, Field2Tag = @Field2Tag " _
& "WHERE (Field1Tag = @Field1Tag) "
cmdCategoriesUpdate.CommandText = strSQLu
With cmdCategoriesUpdate
.Parameters("@Field1Tag").Value = txtFld1.Text
.Parameters("@Field2Tag").Value = txtFld2.Text
End With
cmdCategoriesUpdate.ExecuteNonQuery()
SqlConnection1.Close()
Script With If Condition For Multiple Input Parameter That Can Be NULL
Jan 23, 2008I want to write an Query for a report that has 7 parameters. I want to allow Null for these parameters but at the same time in the Query i want to put an AND condition for all the parameters. I cannot put an OR condition.
For Example;
If i have a report with 2 parameters then the script will have 2* 2 If conditions
something like:-
if( @parameter1 is not Null and @parameter is not Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
Where parameter1 = @parameter1 and parameter2 = @prameter2
if( @parameter1 is not Null AND @parameter2 is Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
Where parameter1 = @parameter1
If( @parameter1 is Null AND @parameter2 is Not Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
Where parameter2 = @parameter2
If( @parameter1 is Null AND @parameter2 is Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
For 7 parameter there will be way too many If conditions. Is there an better approch to write a Query for such a situation?
Setting Empty Text Box Input On Form To Null Parameter For Sql
Feb 19, 2007Hi,
I'm pretty new to ASP.NET and VB, but I'm working on a project which is essentially a staff directory. Using VS 2005, I've setup a basic grid view which connects to an object which connects via a data layer to a SQL database with Name, Surname, Email, Extension No and Department fields.
I have it working so that if a user enters a name and surname for example, it will return all records with either the name matching or surname matching input parameters. What I want to do is to set up a SQL query which is:
SELECT * FROM records WHERE (Name LIKE @Name) AND (Surname LIKE @Surname) AND (Email LIKE @Email) AND (Dept LIKE @Dept)
so that if the user only enters the first name and surname for example as above, it ONLY returns the record which matches the first name and surname and not all records with either/or. One way I've thought of to do this is to convert the empty fields to "Nothing" so that it fullfils the search parameter for the empty fields. If someone can explain how to do this, or can suggest a better way, I'd be grateful.
Cheers,
Tom
Ole DB Destination (available Input Columns Blank)

I am trying to get a table from production to development created and populated with data in Prod. When I create a package to set the data flow on the available input columns in mappings I do not see any columns there. The source has been defined as the production table.
Thanks a bunch
WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT Not Working?
May 3, 2006Hello.
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?

NULL/Blank Collation After DB Restore
May 7, 2004If a database's collation is blank under enterprise manager and NULL with SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('<Database_Name>', 'Collation') does this mean it has the same collation as the server?
The reason I ask is that I restored a database with a different collation to my server and so I expected the different collation name to show up.
Its showing as blank though...
I thought databases kept their original collation even if restored to another server.
(The database was restored as a new database).

Entering Null Into Blank Fields In The Database

View 3 Replies View RelatedBlank Report Shows Up For Null Parameters.
Oct 29, 2007
I have created a report with a stored proc which takes a parameter whose default value is null. Now when I run my stored proc in Enterprise Manager without any params I get 4 rows otherwise with proper parameter I get 2 rows.
Now I set the params value to allow for Null and blank values. When I run the report if I provide parameter value it works fine but if i try to run it without any param it shows an empty report while the stored proc running without params shows 4 rows.
I have earlier sucessfully created reports where stored procs had 4 params out of which 3 where defaulted to null. And so I set the allow nulls, Allow Blanks values to be true for those params in Rep services. So when I selected value for 1st param and ran the report I got the desired report. But this time I have only one param which can be null. But its not working.
Thanks in advance.

Reporting Services :: Give Meaning Full Name To Allow Null Value Check Box In Report Parameter Instead Of NULL?
Oct 20, 2015In my report i have CNAME parameter , which allows null value. I checked Allow null value check box in report parameter properties.
when i preview the report , it displays checked NULL check box beside CNAME parameter . I want to give some meaningful name(i.e.ALLCustomers) to this checkbox instead of NULL.
Is it possible through SSRS designer?
Allows Blank Value For Integer Parameter
Jul 3, 2007
Hi have a problem to solve and I hope that this is not a SSRS Bug.
I created a Reports(using SQL Server Project) which has several parameters which values are passed to a SP.
One of these parameter is an Integer and it is an optional value, so if the user fill it is used by the SP, otherwise the SP uses NULL and run anyway.
I starts to define tha parameter:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
if I want to Preview the report I have to provide an integer to the parameter's field ...
If for instance I set:
Default: Not queried = 0
In the moment I deploy and I use the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field is unabled!!
So I tried this solution:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Allow null value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
In the preview the checkbox: NULL is checked and I click on the View Report.
But when I deploy it,in the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field this checkbox is unchecked.
Do I forget something during my setting??I have to control it programmatically??
N.B. By default the user will not user this parameter so the best is that he can click directly on "View Report" without any additional "work" on the parameter!!
Thank you for any help!
Anyway To Check If A Text Field Is Blank (not Null But Just A Empty String '') ?
Oct 27, 2004i have a trigger on a table right now... when fields are inserted, theres a text field inserted and i want to check if that text field = '' (the empty string, not NULL) and if it doesn't equal that, then perform some row updates on other tables, but if it is empty, to not do anything else in the trigger... right now i have this:
Code:
IF ((SELECT Note FROM XATPoDetail WHERE ReqNbr = (SELECT ReqNbr FROM Inserted)) LIKE(''))
Note is the text field, XATPoDetail is the table where its being inserted into. I had to do the select FROM the table because it wouldn't let me select a text data type from the "Inserted" virtual table
but it tells me me "Error 279: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression"
thanks

Subscription Issue With Null Default Parameter - Key Cannot Be Null
May 3, 2007I 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

Is There A Way To Default DateTime Parameter To Blank?
Jul 13, 2007I have a visible DateTime parameter on the Report that I would like to make optional.
When I open up the report and try to run it without specifying the date I get a validation error that parameter is required. If I set default value to null - it works, but I have to check for both '' and NULL in my query:
StartDateTime >= @StartDate OR @StartDate='' OR @StartDate IS NULL
I tried setting default parameter using expression
=''
but I get an error that
'Default Value' of parameter 'StartDate' doesn't have expected time.
So the question is can I set DateTime parameters' default value to blank?
Allow Blank Value Does Not Effect When Parameter Is Multi Value = Bug!
Jan 3, 2008I build reports using reporting services 2005 sp2.
I have 3 parameters---> 3 multi value combo box .
However when I tick "allow blank value" within the report parameter
properties for this drop menu, report WILL NOT run without making
selection.(The xml is ok allow blank value set to true)
the reports still require you to enter a value for all parameters in the report when the report can and should be able to be run with no parameter defined.
the trick "default values for all of the params to "=String.Empty"" is not good .
I found this article but i can't find microsoft hotfix for it .

Selecting &&<BLANK&&> As Default Value Of The Parameter
Aug 21, 2007Looks like a very simple problem but not geeting it..
I have parameter as ALL and it has corresponding value as <BLANK>,which comes by default.
Allow Blank to true
How I can select this parameter as default value in parameter??
Please make sure that if I am taking '' then it is getting treated differently.I don;t want Value of ALL as '' or NULL
Niether I have permission to change sp
I want <BLANK> value to be selected internally
Any help will be appriciated.

Default To NULL Instead Of Blank/empty String During Flat File Import
Aug 15, 2006Hi,
In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables.
The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them.
If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string?
I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way:
1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour
2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing.
Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option to default the value to NULL WHEN there is NO data ELSE insert the data itself? So the same behavior that I have right now except that I want NULL in place of empty string/blank in the varchar(x) columns.
Thanks

Null Value For Web Service Task Input
Jun 11, 2007I'm attempting to use the Web Service task to call a method provided by a vendor. The inputs are all simple types so that helps a lot, but for one input it's a string array. If I enter a single string value for a given id using the array dialog, the method works fine.
However if I try to change the input to use a variable to provide the value it fails. I'm assuming that you can't create a variable to return a string array. Please let me know if this is the case or if I'm missing something obvious ;-)
In addition, is there a way to specify a null value for an input? Currently there doesn't appear to be a way to do this in SP2. I tried leaving the string empty which didn't work and I tried using a variable with expression "NULL(DT_WSTR, 1252)" but that failed too.

Reporting Services :: How To Get A Blank Parameter To Work
Jun 3, 2015Have a report that has this as the query:
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP
FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW
WHERE LOCATION = @Location AND SOURCE = @Source AND (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate)
ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
So the user can enter a value for Location and Source and select the date range.BUT I also want the user to be able to put in nothing for the Location and Source so the query would return everything for that date range.
So if they did this the query would be
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP
FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW
WHERE (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate)
ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
I have set the parameters @Location and @Source to "Allow blank value" in the datasets for the location and source I have :
SELECT NULL AS Source
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT RTRIM(LTRIM(SOURCE))AS Source
FROM CTS_OPS_SOURCE_LOCATION_TBL_VW
ORDER BY SOURCE
So a blank will show on the drop down and when I run the query for the Query Designer in the Dataset Properties the results does show a blank record for the first record.BUT when I Run the report there are no blanks in the drop downs for the location or source. And there is no '<blank>' selection in the drop down either. And the drop down insist the user selects a value from both of the drop downs.
What am I doing wrong?
