Sql constraint to convert empty string to null
View 7 RepliesFor coonverting Linq to DataTable I am using the following Extension Method(Taken from Stackoverflow)
L[code]....
The Extension Method creates XML file.But for null values no element is created in XML file.Say if Commission field is null then commission element is missing in Xml generation.
I want to insert element with empty string for null values (ref type) and (0.00) for decimals and (0) for integers. where do i need to make change?
How would I convert an empty textbox.text to null when updating/inserting using an SqlCommand? I've got this to populate the textbox:
If IsDBNull(dr("data")) Then
TextBox1.Text = ""
Else
TextBox1.Text = dr("data")
End If
Here's the SET of the SqlCommand:

I have a form and stored procedure that inserts the data from the form. It works fine except that if a field isn't filled in it doesn't insert a NULL into sql it inserts "".
I've tried a few different ways but none seem to insert NULL, the one below still inserts "", can anyone point me in the right direction.
Here is the required part of the code, if you require more just let me know.

So if I enter nothing into address1 field it should write NULL to screen but it always writes NOT NULL.
on VWD 2005 this code works fine, but on 2008 it says I haven't created an instance of the object. I want to convert the object connString (a connection string) into a string.
'This acceses the virtual directory web.config file for connection strings
'We have to convert the object to a connection string
Dim rootWebConfig As System.Configuration.Configuration
rootWebConfig = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/VirtualDirec")
Dim connString
As System.Configuration.ConnectionStringSettings
connString = rootWebConfig.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings("ConnectString1")
Dim strConnString
As
String = connString.ToString().......
I have pass following SQL Query to the through ObjectDataSource
[Code]....
And I am passing parameter through QueryString and My idea is like when empty string is pass it should show me all records but when I am passing empty string ObjectDataSource is making NULL and I am not getting desire result
We have an ASP.NET web service that invokes a stored procedure on our DB (Oracle 11g). The problem is that the call to the procedure blows up every time an empty string is passed as one of the parameters. We're seeing an ORA-01084 error, which indicates to me that call is failing before the procedure is actually run.
Here's the procedure, minus some logic that I believe is not relevant:
[Code]....
As an experiment, I modified the web service to pass null rather than an empty strings. When null is passed in, I see an error indicating "wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'CREATEREPORT."
I also tried passing DBNull.Value whenever the params were null/empty, but that resulted in the error
Parameter 'p_column_id': No size set for variable length data type: String.
(Of course, p_column_id was the empty parameter in this case).
So, how can I successfully pass empty strings as parameters to my stored procedure? We definitely want to allow the p_column_id parameter to be empty.
If I have JSON like this and pass it to the engine I am using to create a PDF file, the word "null" appears on the PDF. This isn't really my example, but I googled "json replace null empty string" and this was a hit, which is a good representation of my data, also:
{
"relationship": {
"type": "relationship",
"id": null,
"followed_id": null
}
}
We use a rendering engine that creates a PDF from a fixed template and variable data in the form of a json string. But our customers don't want to read that the id is "null", they want to read that the id is blank. In my C# program, the json is just a string, so I can easily do something like this:
jsonString = jsonString.Replace("null,", ",");but the issue is I can't replace null-comma with a comma, because then it's invalid json.
how to I make the rendering engine *and* my customer both happy?
we have a AutoGenerateColumns-enabled WmxDataGrid in which we are able to update table rows in a DataBase connected with a SqlDataSource.
Each time we clear a field an empty string is written to the database where we want to write DBNull values.
At the moment we generate the update string via UPDATE... SET.. and the SQL Server function NULLIF(value, '').
Works proper but when I want to add the values to e.NewValues in BeginUpdate event I'm not able to read the values from the auto generated text boxes. How do I do that? Is there an easier way to automatically convert empty strings to NULL values?
I have a SQL database. I am getting a datatable from SQL. In SQL Query the table is having null values in the output. But when it is coming to the front end, the null values are replaced by empty values.
So in the front end in the datatable i am having empty values in some cells. I am trying to insert this datatable into access. For this i am using following code...
OleAdpData.InsertCommand.Connection = OleConn; // OleConn is the OleDbConnection
OleAdpData.InsertCommand.Connection.Open();
OleAdpData.Update(dtData); // dtData is the datatable
OleAdpData.InsertCommand.Connection.Close();
It is inserting the datatable to access database. But it is inserting the empty spaces as present in the datatable. I want to insert NULL into the cells in access datatable where the cells are empty. Where should i add my logic for this.
I have drop dowm menu as follow.
<asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="STO">Stock</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="ORD">Order</asp:ListItem>
If I chose none, it stores data as "Null" If I Query the data as below, I don't get the data has value of "Null" SELECT tabale From type Where type <> STO or type <> ORD I get data that has empty string but not Null.
1, How do I write dropdown menu value in oder to get empty string instead of Null?
I did <asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem> but this stores Null.
2, Why this Query won't pick up Null?
SELECT mytabale FROM type WHERE type <> STO or type <> ORD
This is completely frustrating and probably embarrassing as well. A while back I posted a similar question and resolved the issue. [URL]...scope_identity The program has been working ever since, until yesterday when as it turns out SCOPE_IDENTITY() started returning an empty string even though a record is being inserted. I am not sure what has changed since the fateful day.
[Code]...
I am hoping that there is something I am just not seeing here. A lot of the information I have seen thus far indicates that there are problems with SCOPE_IDENTITY() but most of those are related to inserting multiple records. As you can see this should be fairly straight forward. The thing that really has got my goat is that it used to work and now it doesn't. If someone could take a look at the above code and comment on any anomalies it would be great. Also I have heard suggestions for switching to ADO.NET and it is beginning to look a lot more attractive every day. But I have a ways to go before making the switch so it is SqlDataSources for now
How can I replace empty space in textbox with a dash (-) before form values are inserted?
[Code]....
I also tried using the datasource's Inserting method but neither works.
I'm having some problems with the interface I've created. After some searching, I've discovered that it is inserting an empty string into my database fields as opposed to an null value. I need my application to insert null values, not emptry strings. Can someone provide an example of how this is done?

I have setup my business object to have a create_date and edit_date members both datetime datatypes. My company want to display the create_date and edit_date fields in a gridview for each transaction. The problem i have is that after insterting a record it will have a valid create_date but no edit_date and when displayed in the gridview it defaults to datetime.minvalue (My default). How on earth do i show an empty field in my gridview for a null datetime field in the database?
I am using similar architecture to the Imar Spaanjaars example of a tiered solution. With a few small tweeks it has worked well for me for ages. I am passing a List<Database> to my object datasource which connects to my gridview.
I have a gridview with two bound fields. On clicking a button i want to display the values in first row of gridview in two textboxes. But if gridview cell is empty i am getting the text in textbox to which the value of cell is given as -' 'i know my problem will be solved if i use the template fields instead. But i want a solution while maintaining the bound fields ,if any.
View 2 RepliesIn my detailsview, I have an emptydatatemplate set up to allow users to enter new records. The code works. However, once the record is inserted, the detailsview defaults to a standard insert screen. I know this will cause confusion for the users. I would prefer the detailsview to either show in edit mode or a read-only mode. I have used detailsview.changemode and detailsview.currentmode in the custom sub created for the add new button of the emptydatatemplate- neither of which do what I was hoping. It would be even better if when there was no data, it defaulted to the insert screen (which seems like that should be an easy, no-brainer way for .net to function) but it doesn't. Or, I don't know how to accomplish it.
I don't want to force the user to click cancel after inserting an item through the emptydatatemplate just to be able to use the detailsview for other records.
I have this code, how will I write the code so I can check if a textbox i empty? This way want work. Now it goes in if cellPhone != null all the time.

I am using Visual studio 2010 express and I have a details view databinded to an sql database table. When I use the Insert option on the view it causes an error due to it trying to insert a null into the primary key field. If the Insert function does not create a new primary key entry how is it created?
View 9 RepliesIs there anything missing in IIS 6.0 that prevents me from (Insert into table) using MS-Access?
Explain: The application works fine under Visual Studio 2008 IDE the insert into table works fine with no error, Also I tested with hosting provider and works fine with no problem. but now I have published the same exact app in a dedicated server windows 2003 with
IIS 6.0 .NET framework 2.0 with latest service pack I gave IIS_WPG write/modify access to the folder where MS-Access database is located and database but at the time of insert an error pop-up. I need to install in the Server or settings in the IIS to recognize my MS-Access db is it some office runtime that I am missing. (BTW I am using OLEDB connection string in my C# )
Using System.Data.OleDb;
I can retrieve data off of it with no problem but when I try to insert is when it fails I thought the problem was Access Rights but I do not think is the case.
I have a class library which has my LINQ doc in it. I added a stored procedure and I get the following in my .dbml.layout :
[Code]....
I include a reference to the dll of the class library to my web project and I get an error about value being returned as int where I am trying to put contents into a datalist or similar.
Code in class that calls this SP :
[Code]....
So I switched code to the following in my dbml.layout document :
[Function(Name="dbo.sp_newsSearch")]public IEnumerable<news_search_result> sp_newsSearch([Parameter(DbType="VarChar(200)")] string searchVal){IExecuteResult result = this.ExecuteMethodCall(this, ((MethodInfo)(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod())), searchVal);return ((IEnumerable<news_search_result>)(result.ReturnValue));}
And included the following in an external file news_search_result.cs
[Code]....
But now I just get nothing returned. Is this wrong way of calling a SP via LINQ? or have I just put the wrong return type on my LINQ class?
Can i initialize var with null or some empty variable.
