Re: sql server empty fields
What would you use in an sql select statement for sql server to replace empty() function of vfp. I would like to do the following in t-sql Select items.item_num , iif(!empty(addl_loc_info),.t.,.f.) I never messed with it a lot, so there's probably a better way, but I just test against an empty value. eg, Addl_loc_info = ' ', ncost = 0.00, etc. Need 1 space between the quotes in the first example, as an empty string '' doesn't work. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

sql server empty fields
What would you use in an sql select statement for sql server to replace empty() function of vfp. I would like to do the following in t-sql Select items.item_num , iif(!empty(addl_loc_info),.t.,.f.) So I see that you need to use case instead of iif but I do not know what to use instead of empty(). When I tries is not null it returned everything.
