Most of the major RDBMSs have a function that enables us to return our query results as a comma separated list.
That is, we can use such a function to convert each row into a separate list item, within a comma separated list.
Below are examples of how to achieve this in some of the more popular RDBMSs.
Here are three examples of returning rows that contain alphanumeric characters in SQL Server.
Alphanumeric characters are alphabetic and numeric characters.
If you get error Msg 4151 “The type of the first argument to NULLIF cannot be the NULL constant because the type of the first argument has to be known” in SQL Server, it’s because you’re passing a null value as the first argument to the NULLIF() function.
To fix this error, make sure you do not pass the null constant as the first argument to the function. Or if you do, then convert it to a specific data type.
In SQL Server, a recovery model is a database property that controls how transactions are logged, whether the transaction log requires (and allows) backing up, and what kinds of restore operations are available. Databases can use one of the following three recovery models: simple, full, and bulk-logged.
You can query the sys.databases catalog view to get a list of databases and their recovery models.
If you need to find rows that contain lowercase letters in SQL Server, you could try one of the following options.
If you’re getting SQL Server error Msg 241 that reads Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string, it’s probably because you’re trying to convert a string to a date/time value, but that particular string can’t be converted to the date/time type specified.
Here are five options for dealing with error Msg 8134 “Divide by zero error encountered” in SQL Server.
In SQL Server, the NULLIF() expression checks the value of two specified expressions. It returns a null value if they’re equal, otherwise it returns the first expression.
