I have to check for a value of a particular Column named RESULT is blank or not.
When I check with if RESULT IS NULL, the query failed, but When I checked RESULT='', it worked.
What is difference between two.
please explain.
"UPDATE RLS_TP_2012_03 a, RLS_TP_2012_03 b SET a.COMMENT=b.COMMENT where b.TCODE='T1199' and a.GROUPNAME='xyz' and a.HLABNO=b.HLABNO and a.RESULT =''; ";
"UPDATE RLS_TP_2012_03 a, RLS_TP_2012_03 b SET a.COMMENT=b.COMMENT where b.TCODE='T1199' and a.GROUPNAME='xyz' and a.HLABNO=b.HLABNO and a.RESULT is NULL; "
解决方案NULL is an absence of a value. An empty string is a value, but is just empty. NULL is special to a database.
NULL has no bounds, it can be used for string, integer, date, etc. fields in a database.
NULL isn't allocated any memory, the string with NULL value is just a pointer which is pointing to nowhere in memory. however, Empty IS allocated to a memory location, although the value stored in the memory is "".
