That totally depends on your DB setup. If you have a column that does not allow NULL, then you have have send the empty string ('') if there's no value. If you have SQL code that tests Country IS NULL, then you may want to send NULL for that value in place of the empty string.
Again, depending on the situation, you can handle it all through the query param: <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#transferData.country#" null="#not len(transferData.country)#" /> That will auto-NULL any empty value ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
