How to leave db field with a Null value if no value is entered in the form?

I have a short form that has optional fields. If the optional fields are not filled in the form, I want to leave the field with a Null value in the SQL db. SQL columns allow Null, but whenever this code runs, it seems to insert a space rather than leave the field with a null value. I forget to do?

Here is the solution...

  • Concatenation of field - work around null values

    Hello

    I was hoping I could get assistance or advice on an issues I'm having with the concatenation of several fields. Esentailly, I need to concatenate a number of fields in another column (ALL_COMMENTS) using the carriage return and line break between each of them, however, I must also ensure that are no null values in all areas that will create blank lines within the new column.

    Assuming that all the fields are varchar (255) Code is something like:

    Update my_table
    the value of ALL_COMMENTS == PART_COMMENT0 | CHR (13) | CHR (10) | PART_COMMENT1 | CHR (13) | CHR (10) | PART_COMMENT2 | CHR (13) | CHR (10) | PART_COMMENT3 | CHR (13) | CHR (10) | PART_COMMENT4 | CHR (13) | CHR (10) | PART_COMMENT5 | CHR (13) | CHR (10) | PART_COMMENT6;
    COMMIT;

    Can someone suggest a method to ensure that no blank line is included in the concatenated field (IE not null values in comments which allows line or carriage returns)

    See you soon

    Sorry I should have also mentioned that there is no structure for the data set and a null value can be in all areas PART_COMMENT.

    Thank you

    Maybe something like that

    update my_table
       set all_comments =   part_comment0 || decode(part_comment0, null, null, chr(13) || chr(10)) ||
                      part_comment1 || decode(part_comment1, null, null, chr(13) || chr(10)) ||

  • Check a required field with a full value of 0 or a space

    Hi all

    I know how to check all fields in a form that are necessary and not informed (with a script).

    But when I filled a field with a value of 0 (zero) to my script fails and indicates that the field is not filled in.

    Also when I accidentally type in a space the script fails because the space is considered a character filled.

    How can I solve these two issues?

    var emptyFields = [];

    for (var i = this.numFields - 1; i > 0; i-) {}

    var f = this.getField (this.getNthFieldName (i));

    If (f == null | f.type = 'button' | f.type = 'signature' | f.required == false) continue;

    If (f.value is f.defaultValue)

    emptyFields.push (f.name);

    }

    Instead:

    If (f.value is f.defaultValue)

    Try this:

    If (f.valueAsString is f.defaultValue)

    I still get this error. SO there must be something inside the access database does not allow this value null. It is defined as text now, allowing a length null and useless.

    Can someone help me please?

    If you open the database in Access and go to design view for the table in question and look at the definition of this field, what are the settings for 'necessary' and ' allow a length zero "?

  • How to make a panelformLayout with two columns, where I need a column wider than the other?

    The second column must be more or less double first thant.

    It's the definition of the form:

    < af:panelFormLayout id = "pfl1" lines = '6' labelWidth = "120".

    Binding = "#{backingBeanScope.detalleBB.pfl1}" >

    two columns of fields is displayed.

    The second column has several panelgrouplayout - horizontal with three different areas requiring a more horizontal space than the first column which are fields of inoputtext.

    Currently the panelform gives the same horizontal space resulting in the packing in the second two-column and this conditioning is what I want to avoid.

    Thank you in advance.

    You plan to create another PanelFormLayout with a different width and put the two forms of panel inside a horizontal panel group presentation so that they compare side by side?

  • How to convert the Null value to 0 after the outer join?

    Hello guys

    My requirement is in fact 2 of outer join tables (that's how), and I got the outer join works very well, so in my report, I have values null of measures in another table of facts as a result of the outer join...

    Is there a way I can convert these nulls to 0?

    I realized that the null value is not stored in the table, it is just following the outer join because the NULL do not match records in other... So by default, I'm expected to get NULL values...

    Is there way to present these nulls to 0?

    Thanks a lot for your advice

    In response, the syntax will be:

    IFNULL (, 0)

    try and let us know how you go.

  • can update you a table with a column field with a default value

    I'm looking at a table (table_one) developer and basically, there a column field called is_update and the default value for this field is 1.

    I was wondering if it would be possible for me to use a syntax of the form update
    update table_one t
    set t.is_update = 0;
    where t.id = 221;
    because I tried to do and the update does not work

    Semicolon (;) is the problem!

    where t.id = 221;

  • How can I keep the values previously entered on a form after submission

    Hello DW,.

    I have a form and after it get presented... I have a javascript link, which goes back to the form and values remain to be submitted.  Here's the javascript link: < a href = "JavaScript:history.go(-1) (-2)" > < / a >

    It works very well, but now we use the attribute 'require' and when users click on the link it clears the values.  Is there a simple way to prevent erasure of these values, without having to use the chips and cookies?

    -Alex

    To have a form field to fill in with the value of a variable, we can use PHP like this:

    (input type = "text" name = "address" value ='' / >)

    If the form and its treatment are part of the same script, so it's simple. So, if your form uses the POST method, and you have extracted the values like this:

    extract ($_POST);

    .. then $address will be available to complete the form.

    This can also be done with javascript, but I always use PHP for this.

    Thanks for your help.

    Okay - not sure then. On a new blank page I can have processes assign a value to the session state from the element and the element will have this value when the page is rendered (at least with this type of source). Work of dynamic actions. As I expect. I don't know what happens next 'unfair '.

    I'll only come back tomorrow, but here are a few tips:

    • create a workspace on apex.oracle.com and upload your page there. Share of the developer credentials and the name of workspace with us. In this way may inspect and do not need to do the back and forth until we reached something special we both lost from view.
    • When the page is loaded and you hit the session in the developer toolbar, what is the State of P31_TEST? Is it worth?
    • try to run the page in debug and see if you can spot something happens with the session state from P31_TEST - maybe you'll come across something
