Programming :: Query That Returns Columns Where Some Of The Values Are NULL
Dec 23, 2010
If I have a Query that returns columns where some of the values are NULL, is it possible to tell SQL to return all the NULL values as empty strings instead of the NULL datatype?
If the solution is vendor specific I am (unfortunately) using a Microsoft 2008 SQL server.
Example:
Code:
Select * from imaginary_table where id = 1
Might return:
Code:
Id: 1
Name:xyz
I have a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9.55.ELsmp). When it starts up I get the following error: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.10 starting WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 unmount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
After that I got no response from the OS. I have the installation CD, so I tried to start the rescue mode, while going through the steps I received an error stating that mounting to /mnt/sysimage failed and that if I want to I can access a shell. I really don't know what to do from here
If I assign the value to the variable line = $(sed -n 8p file.txt)
and now print it out with echo
echo $line
the line would be printed.
But what if the file has only 4 lines. What value would be assigned to the variable line?
I want to know that because I want to only print it if the value is "something", that is not null.
In Java for example I would do it like this... String line = ""; line = reader.readLine(); // or anything else.. if(line!=null){ System.out.println(line); }
How would I check if the value is not "null"(I don't know if bash knows null)
How can I add columns to the right of GtkTreeView? How can I add the menu to the right of the window? How can I change the position of the icon in the GnomeMessageBox to the right of the dialog? And how can I change the arrange of the buttons from right to left in GnomeMessageBox? and position of the icon on the buttons in the GnomeMessageBox?
I have a file that contains a couple of email addresses and I want to extract the usernames ( Letters before @ symbol ). How can I do that using sed/awk.
I know cut will work, but the current environment doesn't allow me to use cut command. I can use either awk or sed.
So I wanted to use R's graphics to visualize information, but when I typed
Code: Select alldemo (graphics::graphics), R's built-in introduction to its graphics, the separate window opened up with no graphics, and the terminal returns
Code: Select allError in plot.new() : attempt to plot on null device.
I have the core Jessie packages for R, so I don't think that is the issue.
I have a vector of bytes that I need to store in a DB2 database and was wanting to do it with a column declared as VARCHAR () FOR BIT DATA. I can do this with no problem except when a byte representing the NULL character occurs in the vector. Anytime this occurs, the rest of the bytes are truncated. I know this is the proper behavior for if this were a string, but I was under the impression that if the column is declared as I previously mentioned, that this would support any variable length binary data including the NULL character.
I've found repeated references to people dealing with DB2 tables where the data in VARCHAR columns contained leading and embedded NULLS, so I know this is possible. Can anyone provide me with the proper INSERT statement in order to get this to work? This is the current BindParameters call I'm making for the VARCHAR () FOR BIT DATA column that's truncating after the NULL character occurs.
Say I have a text file with10 columns. I need to reorder them based on a list of column numbers that will reorder them.
My problem is this:
If I want to cut out 5 columns (columns 1,2,3,9,10) in the order 1,10,2,9,3 then I have tried using:
Code: cut -f1,10,2,9,3 my_file.txt > reordered_file.txt But this just extracts the columns in order as if I used:
Code: cut -f1,2,3,9,10 my_file.txt > reordered_file.txt How can I cut these columns and place them into the new file in the order I specify?
While this might seem quite trivial, I will actually need to do this for a file containing ~14000 columns with ~12000 columns that I need to extract in a particular order.
I have a folder with only 24 files named <number>.dat (i.e. 4.dat, 6.dat and so on) where <number> is between 0 and 256. Each file has just two columns of data and nothing else.
I'm trying to combine all the second columns ($2) together. I've been fiddling around with getline and so far have
which takes file 4.dat and adds $2 from 6.dat, but I want a single command to take each $2 from every file and add them to (for example) 4.dat (having $1 from 4.dat is no problem). A command that takes every file in the folder and grabs $2 and places them in a common file would be ideal. Frankly I can work around if you combine both columns from every file.
I bet this is a Perl one-liner (or very simple python script).I have a tab separated files in which each row looks like:Unique_Eight_Character_Sequence [3 tabs] data1~moredata1~moredata1 [3 tabs] data2~ moredata2~ moredata2 ... dataN~.The output file should have each column converted into a row (with the unique character sequence copied in for the first column), and then each "~" replaced by a comma.
Is there any way to filter the output of a command based on the values on the output columns. For example i execute du -h on directory with many files. Now I want to filter the output based on the size (i.e. M or G or K ). The filtered o/p should contain only M(megabytes) or G(gigabytes) and also all columns.
I have a Perl script that has two arrays - they are related. I would like to print out the contents into two columns next to each other.
#!/usr/bin/perl open(PINGFILE, </home/casper/pingdata.txt") or die " can not open file "; my @totalfile=<PINGFILE>; foreach $string(@totalfile) { if ($string =~ m/(^1sping)(?=.*max))/) { push(usecstring,"$string");
I need to read a binary file using my C++ application. That binary file may contain arbitary characters and it also contains 0 at some places. I need to read the file without considering null terminating character. (i.e. considering 0 as a normal byte and not as the end of the string)Can some one suggest me a method to read the buffer while ignoring the null terminated character.
I have an array with 15 elements, and I want to break it down into three columns. When the array is split into a the three elements - however on the iteration, it does not conform to that structure.
I've been hitting my head against a wall for awhile with this one:As the last part of some data analysis I performing I would to construct a matrix from a series of different files. These files have the format:
In linux terminal; how can we get the number of rows ad columns from linux kernel? I tried from environment variables(LINES,COLUMNS) but, I could not retrieve them as my editor program is a child process to linux terminal process.
I have the following working script. It checks the directory for txt files, if files are there, it copies to another directory or gives error. I would like to exclude "file not found" errors and send them to /dev/null. All other errors should go to the email address as usual.
I'm writing a script and I have doubts on how to assign values to an already established variable. The value for the vatriable would be coming from a file with three columns. I'm using the awk command for this. Am I doing it correctly? which of the following two ways is the better one or if both are wrong which one should I use?
Each line of the file I am sorting is in the following format:
<url> <month> <day>
For example:
[URL]
I wrote the following to sort:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl $in = shift; chomp($in);
[code]....
The script worked fine for my small testing files, but failed in my input file. The input file is 18MB and containing more than 300,000 lines. The output will contains some lines like that:
The lines beginning with greater-than symbols are the sequence descriptors and the lines immediately after each descriptor with A-Z characters, dashes, and question marks are the aligned DNA sequences. The sequences are always the same length within a file and never span/wrap across more than one line.I am trying to write a script to remove positions in the sequences that are only represented by a -, X, ?, or N (these represent gaps or missing data). Also, if there is exactly one non-gap/missing character in a position it is also useless (there is nothing to compare it to) so I would like to remove those positions as well.
Position 5 (from the left) was removed because it was all gap/missing characters. Position 9 was removed because only one character was a non-gap/missing character. Position 10 was retained because there were 2 non-gap/missing characters.I'm really not sure where to start here. My first concern is I can't figure out how to tell awk to treat each character in lines not containing a greater-than symbol as a separate field. After that, I'm thinking I should use set up a counter to count the number of lines with gap/missing characters comparing that to the total number of lines not containing greater-than signs?
There is a protocol in use - for example when I use Firefox to do a query through Google - as I type into the search field the browser sends my characters - one at a time - to the server. As I recall, at one time I found the specification but I'm pulling a blank. As I recall it does a POST of each character as I enter it, and the server responds before I have entered a <CR>. I want to write a client side program that uses that protocol and need to see the spec.
I have created a database which stores students grades for different stages of a project. One of the stages of the project is the specification part. I have a simple bit of html code which is going to be used as the searching facility. I want the user to be able to enter their ID and then it will display only their results. At the moment, it is displaying the results for EVERY student because I cant seem to find the correct syntax for my statement.
What is the code snippet required to get an image to repeat vertically up a page? I can only find info relating to repeating *background* images in my search attempts, and this is just a regular image file which I want to repeat over the pre-existing page background. I'd like it to repeat all the way up the extreme left hand edge of the page. Say the image is called abd.jpg and is in the same folder as the index.html.
i am having two small issues with a function i have made.sorry if it is a mess, i am still learning bash.the first is calling the nonpersistssh function (second line) and assigning the return value to nonpersistdiag.the function returns 1, but nonpersistdiag seems to only contain 0. i am unsure on how to proceed.the second problem is the nested else clause on line 10. it is a syntactical error. how would i declare it correctly?
Code: function endsession(){ nonpersistdiag=$[nonpersistssh]# a function that returns an exit code sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop; sshdiag=$?
Why are basic math problems returning 0? I know that Integers can only hold whole numbers, and it had the exact same problem when I used floats. I am using GCC 4.4.4.
Trying to export a Mysql query to a .csv file the query draws from multiple tables, e.g. sales, purchase and currency
Code:
What i'm trying to do is to export both the sales and purchase to a single line where both the currency for the sales and the purchase is specified.
Basically like this:
Code:
Problem here is that i'm stating currency.value twice in the same select and don't know how to define which currency.value applies to sales and which to purchase.
