Hi,
If I want to exclude empty records from a query for VFP data I would use:
select * from MyTable where !empty( MyField )
To do the same for SQL server, the query is:
select * from MyTable where MyField <> ''
If I wanted to have one SQL expression that works for both VFP and SQL, I can do the following
select * from MyTable where LEN(rtrim( MyField) ) > 0
Is the above efficient method or there is a better approach?
TIA
