I have the following code that has been working for the last year.declare @id as intset @id=0select @id=max(version_id) from order_Detailswhere prod_id = '666'if @id=0 or @id = null set @id=1else set @id=@id+1the result of the max query returns no records and hence the @id value will become null but when i use the if statement it always falls in to the else part and adding 1 to a null value results in null. This @id variable is used to insert a record into a table that does not except nulls. hence the problem.I know by chaning the "= null" to "is null" solves the problem but the code has not been changed and it has been working for the last year.is there a serevr setting that could effect the way null or max is handled as we have a third part that can control the serever settings and we are not sure if they have changed something.thanks in advance. |
