How do I change a column to NULL not NULL in SQL Server?

All you need to do is to replace [Table] with the name of your table, [Col] with the name of your column and TYPE with the datatype of the column. Execute the command and you are allowed to use NULL values for the specified column. That is all it takes to switch between NULL and NOT NULL .


I think @Zack properly answered the question but just to cover all the bases:

Update myTable set MyColumn = NULL

This would set the entire column to null as the Question Title asks.

To set a specific row on a specific column to null use:

Update myTable set MyColumn = NULL where Field = Condition.

This would set a specific cell to null as the inner question asks.


If you've opened a table and you want to clear an existing value to NULL, click on the value, and press Ctrl+0.


If you are using the table interface you can type in NULL (all caps)

otherwise you can run an update statement where you could:

Update table set ColumnName = NULL where [Filter for record here]

Use This:

Update Table Set Column = CAST(NULL As Column Type) where Condition

Like This:

Update News Set Title = CAST(NULL As nvarchar(100)) Where ID = 50
