I've got a problem I've never run into before. In the application I've recently inherited they've defined a constraint between two columns. However, in the table that references the primary key the column can actually contain a null value.
The problem I'm running into is if I try to insert the data w/a null value I get a constraint issue, if I leave the column out completely then no constraint issue is passed. Example: insert into [user] ( name, departmentId ) values ( 'dan', null) That throws an error, while this won't: insert into [user] ( name ) values ( 'dan' ) The problem is I'm trying to do some operations in bulk so sometimes the departmentId will be there and sometimes it won't. Is there a way around this?
