I know this is already asked question and possible to be close.
But i really want a answer, I already searched through the internet, Read documentations, Blogs, and Question to SO.
This is my Query so Far,
declare #count numeric
select #count = (select count(1) from E496_TitleReference a where
exists (select 1 from #tempTransactions b where a.EPEB_RoD = b.tEPEB_RoD and
a.EPEB_ENO = b.tEPEB_ENO and a.EPEB_ID = b.tEPEB_ID and a.Title_Seq = b.tTitle_Seq))
update E496_TitleReference
set PrintStatus = '{0}',Is_AESM=isnull(-1,Is_AESM)
from E496_TitleReference a where
exists (select 1 from #tempTransactions b where a.EPEB_RoD = b.tEPEB_RoD and
a.EPEB_ENO = b.tEPEB_ENO and a.EPEB_ID = b.tEPEB_ID and a.Title_Seq = b.tTitle_Seq)
if ##rowcount <> #count
begin
rollback tran
Print "Error: There is an error on table E496_TitleReference."
return
end
go
For eg, In my table in Database i have column name Is_AESM, In Is_AESM column it have 4 values.
Is_AESM
NULL
NULL
-1
-2
Something like this.
Now when i run my script, it has no problem when i run it,
Is_AESM=isnull(-1,Is_AESM)
In this query it will detect if Is_AESM is null, it will update Is_AESM = -1 if not it will retain the value.
Now my problem is, if my query detect Is_AESM has a null value, it will update all the value to -1.
Is_AESM
-1
-1
-1
-1
The result is something like that. Now i want is update only the null value not all the value in column Is_AESM.
I think this query is wrong Is_AESM=isnull(-1,Is_AESM).
Any ideas will be a big help.
You may try with coalsece() function
update E496_TitleReference
set PrintStatus = '{0}',Is_AESM=coalsece(Is_AESM,-1)
from E496_TitleReference a where
exists (select 1 from #tempTransactions b where a.EPEB_RoD = b.tEPEB_RoD and
a.EPEB_ENO = b.tEPEB_ENO and a.EPEB_ID = b.tEPEB_ID and a.Title_Seq = b.tTitle_Seq)
you need to replace order of parameters.
Is_AESM=isnull(Is_AESM, -1)
You can use COALSECE function. It returns the first non-null entry from the given list. So:
Is_AESM= COALSECE(IS_AESM,-1)
This will return IS_AESM value if it is not null (since it is the first non-null value)
Else if IS_AESM is NULL then it returns -1 (since it is the non-null value)

I just finished migrating an Access database to the SQL Server and I need to fix the Yes/No values to be defaulted to No as their data type conversion is set to bit.
I do this by setting the default value to 0.
However, I want to execute a query to do that as well, but there are multiple bit rows.
I know how to use multiples with the SET command, but how do we use multiple with WHERE? What is the proper way of structuring it?
UPDATE sometable SET
[isConditionOnePassed] = 0
, [isSecondPassed] = 0
, [isThirdPassed] = 0
WHERE [isConditionOnePassed] IS NULL, [isSecondPassed] is NULL, [isThirdPassed] IS NULL
Or is it with an AND? Like boolean logic?
UPDATE sometable SET
[isConditionOnePassed] = 0
, [isSecondPassed] = 0
, [isThirdPassed] = 0
WHERE [isConditionOnePassed] IS NULL and [isSecondPassed] is NULL and [isThirdPassed] IS NULL
Hmmm . . . If you want to set NULL values to another value, you can use COALESCE():
UPDATE sometable
SET isConditionOnePassed = COALESCE(isConditionOnePassed, 0),
isSecondPassed = COALESCE(isSecondPassed, 0),
isThirdPassed = COALESDCE(isThirdPassed, 0)
WHERE isConditionOnePassed IS NULL OR isSecondPassed is NULL OR isThirdPassed IS NULL;
Seems like what you really need is an ISNULL or CASE expression. Here is an example with both:
UPDATE dbo.SomeTable
SET isConditionOnePassed = ISNULL(isConditionOnePassed,0),
isSecondPassed = CASE isSecondPassed WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
I have this code which is part of a stored procedure
INSERT INTO #TempTable
/* A few subqueries, about 100 lines */
WHERE (cartera.ClaSucursal = #pIdSucursal OR #pIdSucursal = -1)
AND (cartera.ClaAsesorActual =
CASE
WHEN #pIdAsesor > 0 THEN #pIdAsesor
WHEN #pIdAsesor = 0 THEN NULL
END
OR #pIdAsesor = -1)
/* Rest of my code, about 200 lines */
SELECT * FROM #TempTable
Basically I have a parameter called #pIdAsesor and depending on its value there can be three possible outcomes.
#pIdAsesor = -1 which brings me all entries regardless of the Id value
#pIdAsesor = sumId which brings me all entries with given Id
#pIdAsesor = 0 which brings me all entries with NULL as the Id
Outcomes 1 and 2 work flawlessly, but scenario 3 doesn't bring back results.
null isn't a value - it's the lack thereof. null is never equal to anything (not even another null), but you can check for it explicitly with the is operator.
You could ditch the case expression and construct this logic with a series of ors:
AND ((#pIdAsesor = -1) OR
(#PIdAsesor = 0 AND cartera.ClaAsesorActual IS NULL) OR
(#pIdAsesor = cartera.ClaAsesorActual))
You can't use = for null in case when result comes null but = null doesn't work. You have to use is null.
I have this code that is part of a stored procedure:
SET #_Value = 0
SET #_Cont = 1;
IF(#_FlagControl = 1)
BEGIN
SELECT #_Value = SUM(Value)
FROM Person P
INNER JOIN Order O on O.CodPerson = P.CodOrder
WHERE P.CodPerson = #_CodP
AND P.CodImp <> 3
AND P.FlagSituation = 1
AND #_CodMainPerson = P.CodPerson
IF(#_Value IS NULL)
PRINT 'NULL'
ELSE
PRINT #_Value
END
If I run just this SELECT inside the "IF", it returns '0.90'. But when I run this entire query inside a procedure, it is printing NULL.
I don't have idea what is going on.
You assign #_Value
You check #_Value
You print #_ValorImposto
So if #_Value is not null, you don't print it...
Edit, it is not this
Therefore, the SELECT has no rows, which when SUMMed gives one row, making #_Value NULL
So test and fix the SELECT in the stored procedue: print #_CodP and #_CodMainPerson. SELECT without the SUM.
Not in another query with hardcoded values: this proves nothing
Note that SUM without GROUP BY always returns exactly one row.
So #_Value will always either either a non-null value or NULL

I am new to SQL and using Oracle 11. I need to write a sql script which uses different update command based on whether the input param is null or not null.
I need something like this
['&' followed by the parameter name is the way i see parameters being used in other such
script for our project]
IF &PRG_ID IS NULL
UPDATE PROGRAM_TABLE P SET HANDLED_IND = 'Y' WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT 1 FROM HANDLED_PROGRAM H WHERE H.PROGRAM_ID = P.PROGRAM_ID);
ELSE
UPDATE PROGRAM_TABLE P SET HANDLED_IND = 'Y' WHERE
P.PROGRAM_ID = &PRG_ID AND EXISTS
(SELECT 1 FROM HANDLED_PROGRAM H WHERE H.PROGRAM_ID = P.PROGRAM_ID);
END IF;
Something like (is not tested):
UPDATE PROGRAM_TABLE P SET HANDLED_IND = 'Y' WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT 1 FROM HANDLED_PROGRAM H WHERE H.PROGRAM_ID = P.PROGRAM_ID)
AND (&PRG_ID IS NULL OR P.PROGRAM_ID = &PRG_ID);
But take into account this change may lead to the performance degradation for the case when PRG_ID has definite value.
I've got a case statement:
UPDATE
Answer
SET
AnswerID = #AnswerID,
AnsweredBy = CASE WHEN LEN(#AnsweredBy) > 0 THEN #AnsweredBy END
Even when #AnsweredBy is NULL it still sets the AnsweredBy column to null.
I've tried to test for null as well by doing this:
UPDATE
Answer
SET
AnswerID = #AnswerID,
AnsweredBy = CASE WHEN #AnsweredBy IS NOT NULL THEN #AnsweredBy END
Meaning I do not want to update the answeredby column unless there is a value.
Even in my C# code I do not pass a value to my stored procedure:
if (answeredBy.Length > 0)
cmdSelect.Parameters.Add("#AnsweredBy", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = answeredBy;
unless there is a value. And in my sproc I default that column variable to null:
#RunoffAnswerID bigint,
#AnswerID varchar(3)=NULL,
#AnsweredBy varchar(50)=NULL,
So my question is how do I perform the rest of my updates, because there are about 5-10 more columns but only update the answeredby if there is a value in #AnsweredBy?
SET AnsweredBy = ISNULL(#AnsweredBy, AnsweredBy)
UPDATE
Answer
SET
AnswerID = #AnswerID,
AnsweredBy = CASE WHEN LEN(#AnsweredBy) > 0 THEN #AnsweredBy ELSE AnsweredBy END
