Is This True ??
USE TestDb;
DECLARE @Table NVARCHAR(MAX),
@Col NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE Table_Cursor CURSOR
FOR
SELECT a.name, --table
b.name --col
FROM sysobjects a,
syscolumns b
WHERE a.id = b.id
AND a.xtype = 'u' --User table
AND (
b.xtype = 104 --bit
)
OPEN Table_Cursor FETCH NEXT FROM Table_Cursor INTO @Table,@Col
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
EXEC (
'update [' + @Table + '] set [' + @Col + ']=False
Where ([' + @Col + '] IS NULL)
FETCH NEXT FROM Table_Cursor INTO @Table,@Col
END CLOSE Table_Cursor DEALLOCATE Table_Cursor

Hi babak,
Have you tried my reply? I dont have to use CURSOR HECK to execute the command. And its pretty short and clear I think. 🙂

This will generate a script that takes into account the main things I can think of immediately. I would modify it to use a cursor, add error handling, possibly log backups...that sort of thing. Definitely test before you run anything at all.
SELECT
N'
UPDATE ' + QUOTENAME(s.NAME) + N'.' + QUOTENAME(t.name) + N'
SET ' + QUOTENAME(c.name) + N' = CONVERT(bit, 0)
WHERE
' + QUOTENAME(c.name) + N'IS NULL;
GO'
FROM sys.tables AS t
JOIN sys.schemas AS s ON
s.schema_id = t.schema_id
JOIN sys.columns AS c ON
c.object_id = t.object_id
JOIN sys.types AS ty
ON ty.system_type_id = c.system_type_id
WHERE
ty.name = N'bit'
AND c.is_nullable = CONVERT(bit, 'true')
AND c.is_computed = CONVERT(bit, 'false')
AND t.is_ms_shipped = CONVERT(bit, 'false');

It will try to update computed columns, does not account for schemas, will update columns that are already NOT NULL, does not exclude system tables, will fail for columns with embedded spaces...short and clear though 😛

Hi SSC Rookie
Thanks For Reply 😉
I dont Test your Query yet
January 17, 2012 at 12:06 am
You will also need to alter each column definition to NOT NULL once each table has been 'fixed'.

Hi Paul,
Yeah you're right! Thanks for your observation 😀

No worries; I doubt mine is perfect either 🙂

Dont Work Both Query
SELECT

UPDATE ' + QUOTENAME(s.NAME) + N'.' + QUOTENAME(t.name) + N'
SET ' + QUOTENAME(c.name) + N' = CONVERT(bit, 0)
WHERE
' + QUOTENAME(c.name) + N'IS NULL;
GO'
FROM sys.tables AS t
JOIN sys.schemas AS s ON
s.schema_id = t.schema_id
JOIN sys.columns AS c ON
c.object_id = t.object_id
JOIN sys.types AS ty
ON ty.system_type_id = c.system_type_id
WHERE
ty.name = N'bit'
AND c.is_nullable = CONVERT(bit, 'true')
AND c.is_computed = CONVERT(bit, 'false')
AND t.is_ms_shipped = CONVERT(bit, 'false');
and Also
declare @queries varchar(max)
set @queries = ''
select @queries = @queries + 'update ' + b.name + ' set ' + a.name + ' = 0 where ' + a.name + ' is null' + char(10)
from sys.columns a
inner join sys.tables b on a.object_id = b.object_id
inner join sys.types c on a.system_type_id = c.system_type_id
where b.name != 'sysdiagrams'
and c.name = 'bit'
order by b.name, a.name
print @queries--to verify the queries to be executed

Explain.

Plz Download Attach Test Databace
And Run Your Query
January 17, 2012 at 12:49 am
My script works.
I think you did not execute this line:
exec(@queries)--execute your query
This will execute the generated scripts and make changes to your database.

Done. Mine produces this script:
UPDATE [dbo].[Table_1]
SET [ch1] = CONVERT(bit, 0)
WHERE
[ch1]IS NULL;
GO
UPDATE [dbo].[Table_1]
SET [ch2] = CONVERT(bit, 0)
WHERE
[ch2]IS NULL;
GO
UPDATE [dbo].[Table_2]
SET [ch3] = CONVERT(bit, 0)
WHERE
[ch3]IS NULL;
GO
UPDATE [dbo].[Table_2]
SET [ch4] = CONVERT(bit, 0)
WHERE
[ch4]IS NULL;
GO
And gives this output when executed:
(5 row(s) affected)
(0 row(s) affected)
(0 row(s) affected)
(6 row(s) affected)
What do you think is not working? Neither script was intended to actually make the changes - that's up to you to review, test, and implement.

Ok very Good
I quickly did I forget it
January 17, 2012 at 1:04 am
Paul's script works either, you just have to implement the generated scripts to make changes.
