I have a column in my DB which is currently defined as NOT NULL.
I would like to update this column to allow NULLs.
I have the following script to do this however I would like to check first if the column is already NULL (or NOT NULL), as it may have been changed previously.
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[aud]
ALTER COLUMN [actname] nvarchar(50) NULL
Any help appreciated.

SELECT * FROM yourTableName WHERE yourSpecificColumnName IS NULL OR yourSpecificColumnName = ' '; The IS NULL constraint can be used whenever the column is empty and the symbol ( ' ') is used when there is empty value.
By default, a column can hold NULL values. The NOT NULL constraint enforces a column to NOT accept NULL values. This enforces a field to always contain a value, which means that you cannot insert a new record, or update a record without adding a value to this field.
Here is an example of how to use the MySQL IS NOT NULL condition in a SELECT statement: SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE last_name IS NOT NULL; This MySQL IS NOT NULL example will return all records from the contacts table where the last_name does not contain a null value.
The IS NOT NULL condition is used in SQL to check a value other than NULL. It returns TRUE if a non-zero value is found, otherwise it returns FALSE. It can be used in SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE operator.
Use COLUMNPROPERTY to get column property . You may write something like
SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('dbo.aud'),'actname','AllowsNull') AS 'AllowsNull';
