I can't get an update statement in my DBS file to work. (I'm basing my file off the spec here --> http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=18522 )

Basically my situation is I have a column in the MEMBERS table for the Active Users 3.5 mod. It cotains "1"s "0"s and nulls (null being true in this case).

Now, for the new version of the mod I need to get rid of those nulls and replace them with "1"s because they were causing a few ugly bugs.

This is what I tried, but it didn't work.

[UPDATE]
MEMBERS
M_AUHIDE#'1'#M_AUHIDE = ''
[END]

That generates a 13|Type Mismach error, yet everything I'm working with is strings.

I also tried this with no Where statment, like it sais can be done in the dbs spec. That resulted in an UPDATE FORUM_MEMBERS SET M_AUHIDE = '' WHERE

Is there some way to get rid of those nulls that I'm missing?

Try this
[UPDATE]
MEMBERS
M_AUHIDE#'1'#M_AUHIDE = NULL
[END]

or

[UPDATE]
MEMBERS
M_AUHIDE#'1'#M_AUHIDE = IS NULL
[END]

NUL is not the same as ''

M_AUHIDE#'1'#M_AUHIDE = NULL

and

M_AUHIDE#'1'#M_AUHIDE <> '1' OR M_AUHIDE <> '0'

both result in "13 | Type mismatch" though both *should* work.

I have tried it both as a text and as an interger. It is as if the database canot see the records with null values in them.

*Maybe I just have a funny database *

I have gotten around the roadblock for now by creating independant script to handle this task.
