To insert " NULL " in MS SQL Database

Hi Friends,
We have a scenario where a decimal value is sent from the source and it has to be updated in the MS SQL Database accordingly. If the data is sent for the decimal field, the decimal value gets updated.
We need to insert " NULL " in the database, if no data is passed for that particular field.
Kindly help us in achieving this functionality.
Regards,
Sherin Jose P

in the adapter -> processing tab use the option
XML Schema Interpreter
Field
Entry
Key Tags Mandatory
Set the indicator to specify that there must be conditions in the key tag.
Interpretation of Empty String Values
Specify how empty text fields are to be handled.
u25CF NULL value
In the case of INSERT and UPDATE statements, empty fields are handled like NULL fields (do not exist) and are not inserted in the database.
u25CF Empty string
In the case of INSERT and UPDATE statements, empty texts are inserted in the columns.

Inserting Timestamp into a SQL database

I am having a problem inserting a timestamp into a Sql Database. I keep getting this error or a different on when i format the timestamp differently. In the following code the timestamp is not formated at all.
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '13'
this is the sql statement that is executed
insert into timesheet(IDNUM,TimeIn,TimeOut,HoursWorked) values (123 , 2005-07-15 13:20:06.062 , 2005-07-15 13:20:06.062 ,0)
the code is as follows:
     <%
     try
            SimpleDateFormat test = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
            Timestamp stamp = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
            java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
            String sql = "insert into timesheet(IDNUM,TimeIn,TimeOut,HoursWorked) values (" + session.getAttribute("IDNum") + " , " + stamp + " , " + stamp + " ,0)";
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            Connection cnxn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:EmployeeSystem");
            Statement stmt = cnxn.createStatement();
             stmt.execute(sql);
            response.sendRedirect("employee.jsp");
     catch(Exception dberr)
         SimpleDateFormat test = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmm");
         Timestamp stamp = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
         out.println(dberr);
         out.println("insert into timesheet(IDNUM,TimeIn,TimeOut,HoursWorked) values (" + session.getAttribute("IDNum") + " , " + stamp + " , " + stamp + " ,0)");
     %>please help.
The reason that i need the timestamps in there is that i am creating a time clock program for my school that they can put on a intranet so thier hourly employees can use instead of the current manual system they use.

even better would be to use prepared statements and set the fields via Timestamp objects.
String sql = "insert into timesheet(IDNUM ,TimeIn ,TimeOut ,HoursWorked ) values (?,?,?,?)";
Statement stmt = cnxn.prepareStatement(sql);
int idNum = (Integer)session.getAttribute("IDNum").intValue();
Timestamp stamp = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
stmt.setInt(1, idNum);
stmt.setTimeStamp(2, stamp);
stmt.setTimeStamp(3, stamp);
stmt.setInt(4, 0);
stmt.execute();It makes your code much more portable, as you don't have to worry about the database having a TO_DATE function with that syntax.

How to insert date/time to sql database

Hi,
I would like to insert date and time alongside with my data receiving from the sensor.
Right now i can insert data into sql table everytime when the data changes but i also wanted to insert the date and time as well.
Thank you in advance!

I create a field that is a datetime and set the default value to getdate(). So everytime i make an entry into this database, it automatically adds a datestamp.

Hi sid_siv,
Only the first record is inserted because of the scalar variables of the stored procedure(SP), when you call the SP, only one row is passed. To get all rows inserted, you can either declare a
table-valued parameter
(TVP) for the SP or using an Oracle linked server in the SP.
Create a stored procedure with a table-valued parameter
As you mentioned linked server is not good in your case, then TVP SP can be the only option. Regarding how to call a SP with TVP parameter in BizTalk, that's a typically BizTalk question then. I would suggest you post your question in a dedicated
BizTalk Server forum. It is more appropriate and more experts will assist you.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Check for duplicate record in SQL database before doing INSERT

Hey guys,
This is part powershell app doing a SQL insert. BUt my question really relates to the SQL insert. I need to do a check of the database PRIOR to doing the insert to check for duplicate records and if it exists then that record needs
to be overwritten. I'm not sure how to accomplish this task. My back end is a SQL 2000 Server. I'm piping the data into my insert statement from a powershell FileSystemWatcher app. In my scenario here if the file dumped into a directory starts with I it gets
written to a SQL database otherwise it gets written to an Access Table. I know silly, but thats the environment im in. haha.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
Since SQL Server 2000 has been out of support, I recommend you to upgrade the SQL Server 2000 to a higher version, such as SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008.
According to your description, you can try the following methods to check duplicate record in SQL Server.
1. You can use
RAISERROR to check the duplicate record, if exists then RAISERROR unless insert accordingly, code block is given below:
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TableName AS t
WHERE t.Column1 = @ Column1
AND t.Column2 = @ Column2)
BEGIN
RAISERROR(‘Duplicate records’,18,1)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TableName (Column1, Column2, Column3)
SELECT @ Column1, @ Column2, @ Column3
END
2. Also you can create UNIQUE INDEX or UNIQUE CONSTRAINT on the column of a table, when you try to INSERT a value that conflicts with the INDEX/CONSTRAINT, an exception will be thrown.
Add the unique index:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Unique_Index_name ON TableName(ColumnName)
Add the unique constraint:
ALTER TABLE TableName
ADD CONSTRAINT Unique_Contraint_Name
UNIQUE (ColumnName)

Error upon inserting data in sql Database using stream analytics job: Datatye error conversion

I have a data passed into the Event Hubs, queried by stream analytic job inserting it into sql database. Upon running the job, it becomes idle a few seconds after since it has an error:
Message: Conversion from 0 to System.Boolean failed. 0 was of type - System.Int64.
Conversion from 0 to System.Boolean failed. 0 was of type - System.Int64. Exception message at level [1], exception number [0], parent exception number [0]: Conversion from 0 to System.Boolean failed. 0 was of type - System.Int64.
The data type in one of my field(IsHistorical) is Boolean with a value of false. The data type of the column in the sql table where this is to be inserted is of type bit. In this case, it seems that stream analytics could not convert the value "false"
into a bit data type when inserting in sql table.
I'm wondering if you already have encountered this problem. Could you help me resolve this problem?
Thank you.

Azure Stream Analytics does not have Boolean type. On input we will convert JSON Boolean value to bigint.
Here is the list of supported types and conversions:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn835065.aspx
You can fix this erro by changing column type from bit to int in SQL table schema.

How do I show multiple rollover images on a page inserted dynamically (pulled out of a sql database

How do I show multiple rollover images on a page inserted dynamically (pulled out of a sql database table) using Dreamweaver’s Repeat Region. Example: I have different products each one associated (through their productID) with two images (one that’s showing in the page and one for the rollover effect) that are pulled from a database using Dreamweaver’s Recordset. So I want to end up with a page containing row after row of images(one for every product).When moused over each image will reveal the second (rollover) image for the same product which in turn can be a link(the image itself ) that when clicked leads to a detailed page with more information about the product the image is associated with. To show row after row with images for the different products in the database table I am using Dreamweaver’s Insert Rollover Image command and then the Repeat Region – I have no problem to complete the steps, to insert the image and the rollover one at once and set the paths so they are pulled dynamically depending on the productID they are associated with .I have also no problem to apply the Repeat Region so not only the first image associated with the first product in the table is shown but all of them-a routine and standard procedure when using the Repeat Region to dynamically generate and display multiple rows of data. However, when I preview the page the rollover effect is lost –the images are shown but when moused over the second image does not show. The problem is caused when the Repeat Region is applied-once again I am allowed to apply it but the rollover stops working, a kind of interference. ANY SOLLUTION PLEASE, ANY WORK AROUND.

I gotta tell you, using multiple images for rollover effects is going to be a big challenge in your dynamic scenario.
If this were my product page, I would use thumbnails with a bit of CSS opacity or filters to desaturate and make them full opacity/color on mouse over. Nice effect with much less bandwidth. Easily done globally with CSS code.
Two examples:

thanxAnd that SQL statement is another reason to use PreparedStatement. I assume bname and sname are input from some form? Well, if that's the case, simply inserting them into SQL by simple String concatenation is just begging for all sorts of problems. What if there is an apostrophe in the entry? Broken Statement. Worse, it's a wide open invitation to an SQL Injection attack.

i put condition for null .But if i dont fill the fields,even then the executeQuery is executing without checking the condition.
wht is the problem
what i want to change in my code.

1. Use code tags when you post code.
2. Use prepared statements.
3. If you have a field that requires a non-null entry then you must provide a non-null value. And for Oracle that means non-empty as well.

Insert into SQL database

Hi,
I am using xMII v 11.5..I need to insert into SQL database.
In BLS
Step 1:I am using an SQL Query1 it fetches data
Step 2: I am using 4 calculation Action block to calculate the values
Step 3: I am inserting the Calculated values using an SQL Query2
In the links when i evaluate its showing the value but when i check in the SQL Database it has inserted zeros...
I found that the first Query is not returning anything if i have set the Date condition in where clause...
Regards
Sweety
Edited by: sweety_VA on Apr 25, 2011 7:32 AM

Hi Sweety,
Can you provide some more information?
The script for each of your queries. (looking especially at how you are using single quotes around the Param properties for different data types)
Are you using an Command SQL Query for the insert?
Why are you using the Calculation action block instead of using the Expression Editor for the calculation?
Regards,
Mike

Formula calculated database field tries to insert null

Good Morning,
I have 3 database text items Amount , rate and result.
I input the two values (Amount and rate) and using the formula property "result" gets the calculated value.
On display all the values are shown correctly but when trying to save my information the text field "result" is trying to insert null.
Any suggestions?

Then after if you want to save it. create result database item and write trigger (When-Validate-Item) on both amount and rate filed and at trigger code, write
:result:=:amount*:rate;To display the result on form, create non database item and change property to formula and write the formula.
Hope this will help you

How can I insert an image(JPG) into a SQL database?

I have written an application to perform some tests in the lab. After gathering the data I store it into a SQL Server. I successfully managed to export all my raw numbers and calculations to the DB. However I have not been able to export a screenshot of the Front panel. I can write the screenshot to a JPG file just fine. The problem is putting the image (binary data) into the DB.
So from what work I've managed to do, two questions come to mind:
1) Is there a way to compress the screenshot, using standard JPG compression, without actually writing out to a file. ie: Just have a binary stream of the compressed image that I can write to the SQL database.
2) Even if I don't use compression, I can't write any kind of data that appears as an image. What kind of data do I need to be writing from LabView to store it properly in an 'image' or 'binary' type field in a SQL database? I am not looking for answer "binary data." Nor do I want the answer that is stated in the Help file for the DB Connectivity Toolkit(type - Data Cluster). What I need is to know what kind of conversions I need to do on the image data that comes out of the FP.GetScaledImage.
I am using LabView 8.0 and have the Database connectivity toolkit. We are running SQL Server 2000 and 2005.

I also hit this limit. In the end I just wrote the JPGs to disk, and stored the file path in the DB. Not the ideal solution, I know.
I'm trying to remember now, exactly what the problem was. You're right to say the image data type should handle up to 2GB. I think in the end, it was an issue of the LabView toolkit not playing well with newer versions of SQL Server, which have the image type. Re-reading the error though, it sounds like it might be an issue with the ODBC driver. FYI, 8KB used to be the max size for the largest types in SQL Server (I think binary in 2000). I suspect this limit was coded into the driver or LabView, and can't handle the newer, larger types.
That being said, the LabView DB toolkit was either written poorly or written a long time ago. It has issues with generating SQL queries that have the proper quotes. For example, if your column names have spaces in them, the toolkit will be unable to generate a valid query, without some modification of the toolkit *.vi's. Images in a database is not a new concept and not new to me. I've never used a language where it was more complicated or difficult to get working. Unless you absolutely have to, I'd work out a way to just store the JPGs to disk, with the path in the DB. Spending too much time on this defeats the purpose of using LabView.
If NI decides to update the DB toolkit, then it might be worth giving it a try again.
In case any NI people are reading this, this is a not so subtle hint that you need to update the DB toolkit to support modern DB features. Especially, if NI is charging $1000 for it.

Hi Peter,
you are right,at high level i was able to figure at these things.
But i don't know how to implement it using jdeveloper.
It will be more helpful if you can give me detailed steps to do it.
Thanks

Insert Fixed Width data into SQL database.

I have a file sent from a client that I need to get into a SQL database.
The file name is ELIG and it is in a flat file, fixed width format.
I am just going round and round how to get the data into a database using SSMS.
Because another user is going to be doing this in the future it needs to be easy.
I tried tasks, import data, flat file, file path and then "Fixed Width", but it puts all of it in one field.
the data does NOT have headers either.
I'm not good at this kind of thing so would appreciate any help I can get.

Yes I saw Uri's request and I'd love to comply, since this is giving me such a hard time, but the data is too sensitive and I would be shunned by my employer and thrown out into the street.
I've been all over google trying to find a solution. I'm still a bit of a novice, but even so, I have never found data that is so hard to normalize. Just error after error.

Hi Gee,
I can understand your issue :-)
it is a common issue that people think that we can read minds, troubleshoot issues without having the option to test it and without any information regarding the issues. It is like going to the children doctor and ask him to treat your children without taking
the your children to the doctor. If you can not take the children to the doctor, then you might need to take a doctor to the your children!
Troubleshooting can be tedious, because there may be quite some information you will need to supply. If you can not post the information in public, then maybe you need to get a private supporting, but this will cost you (your boss/company).
Option 1: Create a case study which is based on your real issue. Use different DDL and DML (database structure and data) than the real database, and reproduce the issue in a way that you can post us the information that we need. We have
to get the ability to reproduce the issue in our server as well, if you need our support.
Option 2: Use the real database information with private support,
after the supporter sign a Confidentiality agreement. If you check people profiles in the forum, then you will find that most of the supporters here are actually work as consultants and they give support on a daily
bases. This is our job. In the forum we come to help volunteer, but
there is a reason why people continue to pay for support. free public support do not fit all :-)

Image path not storing in sql database

Hello,
I have read here on the forum how to upload an image to server and store path in your database, the image uploads correctly to the correct folder on my server but the image path does not get stored on my sql database (not local hosting). I receive the error: The file has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory. Column 'image' cannot be null.
My database has the following columns:
id
datum
image
sectie
My code is as follows:
<?php require_once('Connections/dbTroch.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
mysql_select_db($database_dbTroch, $dbTroch);
$query_rs_aanbod = "SELECT * FROM tblSlideshow ORDER BY id ASC";
$rs_aanbod = mysql_query($query_rs_aanbod, $dbTroch) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rs_aanbod = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_aanbod);
$totalRows_rs_aanbod = mysql_num_rows($rs_aanbod);
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$target = "images/slides/"; //This is the directory where images will be saved//
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['image']['name']); //change the image and name to whatever your database fields are called//
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "add-photos-aanbod")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO tblSlideshow (image, sectie) VALUES (%s, %s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['file'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_FILES['image']['name'], "text"));
//This code writes the photo to the server//
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target))
//And confirms it has worked//
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
else {
//Gives error if not correct//
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
mysql_select_db($database_dbTroch, $dbTroch);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $dbTroch) or die(mysql_error());

Your form field and array variable names do not match
