Question

Everytime I try to make an insert statement into my dastabase I get a “Incorrect decimal value: ‘NULL’ for column ‘bounty3’ at row 1” error. How do I insert a null value into a decimal datatype? Should I just make the default value 0.00?

Incorrect decimal value: '' for column 'bounty3' at row 1 Whole query: INSERT INTO songs (userid, wavURL, mp3URL, genre, songTitle, BPM, insWanted, bounty, insWanted2, bounty2, insWanted3, bounty3, insWanted4, bounty4, insWanted5, bounty5, insWanted6, bounty6, insWanted7, bounty7, insWanted8, bounty8, insWanted9, bounty9, insWanted10, bounty10) VALUES ('12534545', '/audio/wav/jqmrgpfcMichael/135259578210secreason.wav', '/audio/mp3/jqmrgpfcMichael/135259578210secreason.mp3', 'Rock/Funk', 'titlee', '120', 'bass', '20.00', 'guitar', '20.00', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '')

I tried this statement with a NULL value too. Here is the error:

Incorrect decimal value: 'NULL' for column 'bounty3' at row 1 Whole query: INSERT INTO songs (userid, wavURL, mp3URL, genre, songTitle, BPM, insWanted, bounty, insWanted2, bounty2, insWanted3, bounty3, insWanted4, bounty4, insWanted5, bounty5, insWanted6, bounty6, insWanted7, bounty7, insWanted8, bounty8, insWanted9, bounty9, insWanted10, bounty10) VALUES ('12534545', '/audio/wav/jqmrgpfcMichael/143922765110secreason.wav', '/audio/mp3/jqmrgpfcMichael/143922765110secreason.mp3', 'Rock/Funk', 'title', '110', 'bass', '110.00', 'guitar', '20.00', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL')

Answer 1

use blank, not null, if you want the default value.
