Allow Zero Length field

How do you set the "Allow Zero Length" option for an access field during
an sql create query?

If you mean CREATE TABLE (...), you can't in Access SQL (DDL). You have
to modify the TableDef property (this assumes you're using .mdb file
types).

We ran into a problem loading access where tables where if we did not select the property allow zero length we got an error message when loading data with some empty values. We are now ramping up SQL server and the question came up will SQL server have the same problem with empty data values. Is there an SQL server equivalent to allow zero length?

Either I missed something, or ALTER TABLE does not have this capability. Is there any way of doing it except DROPping all constraints which mention this table, EXPORTing the data, DROPping the table, reCREATEing the table without the 'NOT NULL property, reCREATEing the INDEXes, reloading the data, redefining all of DROPped constraints reCREATE the view which were marked inactive by the above.

I spent over an hour on the Internet & MSDN looking for an answer that worked for this problem. Lots of answers, none work. It's time to post a question. Using: VB6, ADO, MS Jet 4.0 How do you retrieve records (lines, rows...whatever) using SQL, searching for a specific field containing a "zero length string". I have tried every combination of quotes (single and double) and "IsEmpty". Many syntax combinations did not return an error,...

I have a database where I want to use an autonumber field to make SKUs for a new product when it is entered. Is there a way I can make the field zero fill to a certain length? For instance, if I want the field to be five digits in length, and I enter 123, I want the stored value to be 00123. Is there a way I can do this? Or is there a better alternative? Thanks. Steve

I am trying to hide a layer when a text box length is zero, and its just not working! It hides the content in the layer, but you still see a little 2 pixel width blip on the screen.

I inherited a database. On one of the forms, a bunch of fields on the form are to be updated with data from a combo box containing many columns after one particular field is updated. I'm receiving an error message "Field cannot be a zero length string." I do have some records with null values for a few fields - no way around that. How can I prevent the error message from occurring? Here's a sample of the code... Me! = Me!.Column(9) Me!...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
