Inserting null will not cause it, but “null” may cause it if you e.g. have defined the column to be of
varchar(2)as in this case the column has be defined to hold at most 2 characters.[ Update ] I did miss the “number data type” in the question. In this case if you insert “null” you should get an error about it nor being a number.
