Hello, It seems that running the following SQL statement results in an error in Derby, while it's working fine in other DBs (such as Oracle or Sybase):
select a as "ColumnA", null as "ColumnB" from SomeTable java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: Syntax error: Encountered "null" at line 10, column 2. at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.SQLExceptionFactory40.getSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.Util.generateCsSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.TransactionResourceImpl.wrapInSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.TransactionResourceImpl.handleException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedConnection.handleException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.ConnectionChild.handleException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedPreparedStatement.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedPreparedStatement20.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedPreparedStatement30.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedPreparedStatement40.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.jdbc.Driver40.newEmbedPreparedStatement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedConnection.prepareStatement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedConnection.prepareStatement(Unknown Source) Is this by design? And is there a work-around? What needs to be done to set a column to null? Thank you, Pavel. Jefferies archives and monitors outgoing and incoming e-mail.
