Null to value

Post by dsscholar »

For varchar null handling can i give NullToZero in transformer. Will it take implicitly zero as string or i have to give NullToValue(column,'0').

Thanks in advance.

If the data type is string it's more efficient to provide a quoted value, thereby avoiding the overhead of the implicit conversion (which nevertheless requires some processing).
