inserting NULL values in queries

Post by JensFudge » Fri 15 Oct 2010 11:30

Hi
How do I insert a NULL value in a query?

Q.SQL.Add('SELECT * FROM TABLE1');

Q.SQLINSERT.add('INSERT INTO TABLE1');
Q.SQLINSERT.add('(FIELD1, FIELD2)');
Q.SQLINSERT.add('VALUES');
Q.SQLINSERT.add('(:field1, field2)');

Q.open;

Q.insert;
Q.fieldByName('Field1').asInteger := NULL;
Q.fieldByName('Field2').asInteger := 4;
Q.Post;

That obviously wont work...
I have tried with .Clear, but got some exception..

Best regards
Jens Fudge

Hello,

You have an error in SQLInsert, the second parameter is written without colon.

You can use the following code:

Code: Select all

Q.FieldByName('Field1').Value := NULL;
