NULL Predicate in SharePoint Search SQL Syntax

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

Indicates whether the document has a value for the specified column.

…WHERE <column> IS [NOT] NULL

Remarks

The optional NOT keyword negates the result. The column can be a regular or delimited identifier.

Note

To test whether a column has the NULL value, you must use the NULL predicate. It is not correct syntax to use the NULL value in a comparison predicate.

Correct: …WHERE column IS NULL

Incorrect:…WHERE column = NULL

Examples

The following example returns documents that have no author.

…WHERE Title IS NULL
