HEllo team,

I want to select the null value or empty value from Database.
All columns are varchar.

SQL

select ID,FULLADDRESS,CUSTOMERADDR1,CUSTOMERADDR2,LANDMARK,CITY,STATE, PINCODE from customerloandata
with (nolock) where isnull(city,0)= 0 or isnull(STATE,0)= 0 or isnull(PINCODE,0)= 0

I am getting the following error.

Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Warangal' to data type int.

How to solve it?
Please help

Thanks
Harshal.

Solution 1

You are returning two different types of data: VARCHAR and INT - so SQL tries to be helpful and automatically parse the VARCHAR as an INT for you. Since it contains text that isn;t a number, it fails.
Instead, try this:

SQL

select ID,FULLADDRESS,CUSTOMERADDR1,CUSTOMERADDR2,LANDMARK,CITY,STATE, PINCODE from customerloandata
with (nolock) where city IS NULL or STATE IS NULL or PINCODE IS NULL

"Blank" is not the same as NULL - have you checked for empty strings?
