Question

When I run this query

UPDATE tblPlayer 
SET Salary = NULL, 
    Status = "1" 
WHERE PlayerId=123

Instead of updating salary to NULL the it updates to an empty value

How do I get NULL instead of empty value?

Answer 1

Your code is working fine with me

UPDATE tblPlayer 
SET    Salary = NULL, 
       Status = '1' 
WHERE  PlayerId = 123

I bet your SALARY has default value ''

To alter the column, try this DDL

ALTER TABLE tblPlayer MODIFY Salary VARCHAR(15) NULL DEFAULT NULL;
