我在数据库中有几个表。我想找到哪些列(在哪些表中)没有任何值(列中的所有NULL)。我在下面的例子中,结果应该是

TestTable1 --> Var2
TestTable2 --> Variable1

我不知道如何创建这种查询。非常感谢您的帮助!

--create first table
create table dbo.TestTable1 (
sur_id int identity(1,1) not null primary key,
var1 int null,
var2 int null
)
go

--insert some values
insert into dbo.TestTable1 (var1) 
    select 1 union all select 2 union all select 3

--create second table
create table dbo.TestTable2 (
sur_id int identity(1,1) not null primary key,
variable1 int null,
variable2 int null
)

--and insert some values
insert into dbo.TestTable2 (variable2) 
    select 1 union all select 2 union all select 3

对于单个列,count(ColumnName)返回ColumName不为空的行数:

select  count(TheColumn)
from    YourTable

您可以为所有列生成查询。根据Martin的建议,您可以使用is_nullable = 1排除不能为null的列。例如:

select  'count(' + name + ') as ' + name + ', '
from    sys.columns
where   object_id = object_id('YourTable')
        and is_nullable = 1

如果表的数量很大,您可以以类似的方式为所有表生成查询。所有表的列表都在sys.tables

更新....好吧,我对这个

有太多乐趣了 Proc接受两个参数,即搜索表和&适用的标准。你可以将本质和where子句传递给第二个参数。我编写了proc来将双引号解释为单引号....再次,这是基于原始开发人员的概念。

这是我编写的用于执行相同操作的脚本,它是一个两步的手动过程:

  1. 在SSMS中运行此脚本并选择“结果”窗格中的所有行:
  2. SELECT
    'SELECT
        COUNT( DISTINCT [' + COLUMN_NAME + ']) AS UniqueValues,
        ''' + TABLE_NAME + '.' + COLUMN_NAME + ''' AS ColumnName
    FROM
        [' + TABLE_SCHEMA + '].[' + TABLE_NAME + ']
    
    UNION ALL
    '
    FROM
        INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
    ORDER BY
        TABLE_NAME,
        COLUMN_NAME
    
    1. 将结果粘贴到新的查询窗口中。滚动到最底部并删除尾随的UNION ALL语句。它看起来像这样:
    2. SELECT   COUNT( DISTINCT [ModifiedByUserId]) AS UniqueValues,   'Inspections.ModifiedByUserId' AS ColumnName  FROM   [dbo].[Inspections]     UNION ALL  
      SELECT   COUNT( DISTINCT [Notes]) AS UniqueValues,   'Inspections.Notes' AS ColumnName  FROM   [dbo].[Inspections]     UNION ALL  
      SELECT   COUNT( DISTINCT [PublicPassword]) AS UniqueValues,   'Inspections.PublicPassword' AS ColumnName  FROM   [dbo].[Inspections]     UNION ALL  
      SELECT   COUNT( DISTINCT [ShopId]) AS UniqueValues,   'Inspections.ShopId' AS ColumnName  FROM   [dbo].[Inspections]     UNION ALL  
      SELECT   COUNT( DISTINCT [Status]) AS UniqueValues,   'Inspections.Status' AS ColumnName  FROM   [dbo].[Inspections]     UNION ALL  
      SELECT   COUNT( DISTINCT [SupervisorUserId]) AS UniqueValues,   'Inspections.SupervisorUserId' AS ColumnName  FROM   [dbo].[Inspections]     UNION ALL  
      
      1. 运行查询。在300列数据库上运行大约需要6分钟。它将更快或更慢,具体取决于使用的索引数量。

这非常有用,不会被放入一个方便的小系统proc中 - 特别是如果你刚刚继承了遗留数据库,并想知道你可以放弃或忽略哪些列。

/*
Show the count of not-null values in a table
*/
create proc sp_aaShowAllNullColumns @tableName varchar(255) as
begin
set nocount on

declare @sql nvarchar(4000)
declare @cols nvarchar(4000)
declare @tcols table( colbit nvarchar(255) )

insert @tcols
select 'count(' + name + ') as ' + name + ', ' as colbit
from    sys.columns
where   object_id = object_id(@tableName)
and is_nullable = 1 

select @cols = coalesce( @cols, ', ', '' ) + colbit from @tcols
select @cols = substring( @cols, 1, (len(@cols) - 1) )
select @cols = isnull( @cols, '' )

select @sql = 'select count(*) as Rows' + @cols + ' from ' + @tableName
exec sp_executeSql @sql

end
go

exec sys.sp_MS_marksystemobject 'sp_aaShowAllNullColumns'
go

use Bookshop
go
exec sp_aaShowAllNullColumns 'Books'
go

这是一个bash脚本,用于SQLite数据库中的所有非空表(或此类数据库中的所有指定表),标识all-NULL列。假定可以与SQLite数据库对话,则可以在您选择的编程语言中使用相同的技术。

#!/bin/bash

function help {
    cat <<EOF
Syntax: $0 databasefile [table ...]

If no tables are specified, then for each non-empty user table in the
specified SQLite database row, this script will emit the column names
of those columns in which all the values are NULL.  If any tables are
specified, only the specified tables are scanned.

The script is written to make it easy to modify the criteria and the output.

Thanks to SQL, two passes are required per table, and if no tables are
specified, an additional invocation of sqlite3 is required.

Column names are written in the form: tablename.columnname

Requirements:
  sqlite3 on the \$PATH

Options: 
 -v | --verbose :: emit additional information

EOF
