Setting Db Value To Null Initially
Sep 22, 2007
Hi, I need to add to a database table.I have 5 variables that need to be added. But, i need to add 3 of them in one procedure and then the other2 in another procedure...so i'm using dboperation add to add the first 3 and dboperation edit to add the other 2 vars. However, when i add the first 3 vars, i need to set the other 2 to null...so in my datasetop proc i'm using Optional Byval var as string="".....but this doesnt work...it says "conversion from dbnull to string is not valid".......ive also tried db.null, "N/A" and nothing...but it still gives me the error?

On my report, I have two parameters that are used to filter my report. I would like for the report to initially run without filters and without having the user required to input parameters. I know that this can be accomplished by using the multi value parameter and having it "Select All" by default, but for my parameters, I would like for each parameter to only allow the user to select one value. Is it possible to have this requirement without having to enable select multi values?

(If this is not the right forum, please advise and I'll repost).I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express (ASP .NET 2,0), with a SQL 2005 database. I have programmed a Data Access Layer using table adaptors: this is my standard way of using the database. I had defined a table, Voyages: -CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Voyages]( [VOYid] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Voyages_VOYid] DEFAULT (newid()), [VOYUser] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [VOYShipName] [varchar](255) NOT NULL, [VOYDepartPort] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [VOYDepartDate] [datetime] NULL, [VOYArrivePort] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [VOYArriveDate] [datetime] NULL, [VOYCaptain] [varchar](50) NULL, [VOYComment] [varchar](1024) NULL, [VOYUpdateid] [uniqueidentifier] NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_RESVoyages] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED I defined a table adaptor based on the query SELECT Voyages.*FROM Voyagesand defined variables in my VB code: - Dim tavoyages As New ShippingTableAdapters.VoyagesTableAdapter Dim tbvoyages As Shipping.VoyagesDataTable Dim trvoyages As Shipping.VoyagesRowand read data into these variables with:- tbvoyages = tavoyages.GetDataByVoyid(Voyageid) If tbvoyages.Count > 0 Then trvoyages = tbvoyages(0) ....All of this works perfectly, and trvoyages contains all the correct data.I wanted to set VOYUpdateID to NULL, so I coded trvoyages.VOYUpdateid = Nothing tavoyages.update(trvoyages)However this set the database field to "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", not to NULL. However this code, in which we use another of the Update overloads naming all variables and "Nothing" in the VOYUpdateid position, works perfectly: -tavoyages.Update(trvoyages.VOYid, trvoyages.VOYUser, trvoyages.VOYShipName, trvoyages.VOYDepartPort, trvoyages.VOYDepartDate, trvoyages.VOYArrivePort, trvoyages.VOYArriveDate, trvoyages.VOYCaptain, trvoyages.VOYComment, Nothing, trvoyages.VOYid) Is there any way in which trvoyates.VOYUpdateid can be set to Null. I tried dbnull, but just got an error message.Thank you,Robert Barnes.

I have a result set stored in a temporary table variable. The fields need to have heirarchy when they finaly get displayed to the user. I need to replace the repeating fields per group with NULL and leave out only one set of unique records per group.
I want to do something like this- make the fields in red NULL while leaving out the ones in green.
{ Col.Group I } { Col. Group II }
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
------- ------- ------- ------- -------
ValA ValA2 ValA3 ValA40 ValA50 {
ValA ValA2 ValA3 ValA40 ValA50 Row. Group A
ValA ValA2 ValA3 ValA41 ValA51 }
ValB ValB2 ValB3 ValB40 ValA50 { Row. Group B
ValB ValB2 ValB3 ValB41 ValA51 }
I was able to achieve this by using @@ROWCOUNT with in a while loop by performing one UPDATE at a time (SET ROWCOUNT = 1). But i have to run Count(*) each time I loop through the update query to figure out the remaining number of rows I have per group as I need to leave out one untouched. But the Count function is taking too much time and I'm having performace issues.
Any idea how I might be able to do this in my stored proc. efficiently?
Thanks,
Samtadsh

Hello!
I am using a Ms-Access DS which is accessed by a website's server-side scripts.
What I would like to do is set an existing record's date/time field to null. I have tried to simply alter its value by not including any data within the sharps (##), however that did not work.
How can I accomplish this?
Thank you!

Hi,
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

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

In 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?

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.

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

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!!

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?

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"?

Hi guys,
I've got a query on a particular table returning an odd result:
SELECT DISTINCT WorkStation
FROM Invoice
WHERE WorkStation Is Not Null
ORDER BY WorkStation
This query returns the rows I'd expect plus a null row. This doesn't happen in databases at other sites, or in other tables at this site. The following query behaves as I'd expect returning only non-null AccountNumbers.
SELECT DISTINCT AccountNumber
FROM Suppliers
WHERE AccountNumber Is Not Null
ORDER BY AccountNumber
I can't reproduce these results on another site on a table of the same structure, or on another table at this site.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on?

ok here is a WIERD issue.
I've NEVER EVER had this issue, I have always done this and it works great both locally and remotely.
I have a table, which is a "customers" table.
I have a stored procedure which takes in parameters (name, address, password etc...) and returns me back, via a parameter declared as output - the customer ID.
I've always done this, and works great.
Now, this works fine locally.
IF I try to run this/do the exact same execution of commands (create a customer) remotely (where the database is stored, so copying everything from local to "over there") it does not work.
I get a DBNULL value back from the parameter, declared as an int output.
IF I copy and paste this Stored procedure Query/command into Query Analyzer and execute it (on the remote connection) and run it, giving it the exact same values as I do, it works perfect and returns me the correct value.
I've even dropped and recreated the stored procedure but makes no difference.
Any ideas why?
here is the proc....
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[DoCreateNewCustomer] (
@theFirstName nvarchar(25),
@theLastName nvarchar(25),
@theAddress nvarchar(50),
@theCity nvarchar(15),
@thePostCode nvarchar(9),
@thePhoneNumber nvarchar(21),
@theMobilePhoneNumber nvarchar(21),
@theIPAddress nvarchar(25),
@thePassword nvarchar(50),
@theEmailAddress nvarchar(30),
@result int output
)
AS
SET @result = (SELECT [ID] FROM Customers WHERE emailAddress = @theEmailAddress)
IF @result IS NOT NULL
SET @result = -1
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @result = @@IDENTITY
INSERT INTO Customers (
Firstname,
Lastname,
Address,
City,
Postcode,
PhoneNumber,
MobileNumber,
IPAddress,
[Password],
EmailAddress
)
VALUES (
@theFirstName,
@theLastName,
@theAddress,
@theCity,
@thePostCode,
@thePhoneNumber,
@theMobilePhoneNumber,
@theIPAddress,
@thePassword,
@theEmailAddress
)
END
GO
Any ideas why it does not work when calling the stored proc from either a web app, or through QA remotely but works fine when I run that command in QA or locally?
Again, if I do:
EXEC DoCreateNewCustomer { params } - the output result it gives me is DBNULL (if on remote connection)
If I do this locally, perfect
If I copy and paste pretty much the SP into QA and execute it on the remote connection, works great, and also locally.

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 all
I am trying to run a sql statement, (without having to run stored procedures), that will lookup a value stored in a Record.field., otherwise ignore the value if it is blank. I have a field tied to a Microsoft Access form - ItemLocation. If the user selects a unique ItemLocation the report will attempt to locate all values within that ItemLocation. If the user decides to leave the field blank, I would like for it to return all values for every ItemLocation. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. I will attach code. My problem is the last line of this SQL statement. If F.ITemLocation is null, I get no data. I would like for it to return everything. Thank you.
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT
B.BarCodeID,
A.ItemDescription,
A.ItemCategory,
A.TypeOfItem,
A.SerialNumber,
B.ItemLocation,
B.LocationID,
B.LastUpdate,
B.TrackItID,
B.UserID
FROM
tblMISFixedAssetTable A,
tblMISFixedAssetTable2 B
WHERE A.BarCodeID = B.BarCodeID
AND A.DisposalDate is null
AND B.LastUpdate = (Select Max(C.LastUpdate)
from tblMISFixedAssetTable2 C
Where B.BarCodeID = C.BarCodeID)
AND B.BarCodeID in (Select D.BarCodeID

Where D.FiscalYear = (Select E.FiscalYear
from tblReportFY E))

Is there any way in SQL Server 6.5 to change a column that was originally set up as nullable to not accept nulls? None of the values in this column contain null values. I need to add a primary key constraint on the column for replication purposes and SQL won't let me because the column is nullable.
Thanks!
