>>Hi, i am getting data out of a database. i need to be able to check if a value returned in a query is null.
If the idea is just because you want to ignore null values, better simply set a condition in the query, ie: WHERE myColumn NOT IS NULL If what you want is being able to distinguish nulls from empty strings, here is a way that is universal in any SQL flavour: SELECT "no" AS isNull, myColumn, otherColumns WHERE myColumn NOT IS NULL UNION SELECT "yes" AS isNull, myColumn, otherColumns WHERE myColumn IS NULL ORDER BY whatever -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
