I have a SQL Server 2012 Express table with a field called DOB of type DATE
The field accepts NULL values and does not have a default value.. To insert the DOB from VFP I transform it to the form 'YYYY-MM-DD' and send it as a character string. However, if the DOB is empty, the only way VFP inserts the record is if the empty value is sent as '' and the DOB field displays '1900-01-01' which is the value inserted. I want to insert NULL in the field, not '1900-01-01' If I use the SQL Server Management Studio, I can insert the NULL value directly with this expression: insert into mydatabase.dbo.employees(name,dob) values( 'John Doe',NULL) However, this command, from VFP, does not insert the record: cCmd = [insert into mydatabase.dbo.employees(name,dob) values( 'John Doe',NULL) ] sqlexec(nHandle,cCmd) How can I get the field to get the NULL value?
