  Hi All,

  In MSSQL How can I handle null values for integer column. Do I need to update null to zero maybe?

  I am doing BCP out from MSSQL to MYSQL.

  The text file is having null-empty values and MYSQL load is errors out with Incorrect integer value.

  You could add a step to update your file before the BCP.

  or

  In your select, you could use a CASE statement to replace NULL with 0

  SELECT 
  CASE WHEN FIELD1 is NULL then 0 ELSE FIELD1 END
  , FIELD2, FIELD3
  from MYFILE
