Copy/Pasting Null/{null} Values

Toad for SQL Server
1

Hello all!

I’d like to be able to paste the actual “{null}” value (from TOAD to Excel) when I copy/paste the resultset, but I don’t see an option for that (rather than end up with just an empty Excel cell). Am I missing something, or is there a workaround?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for your support. Toad for SQL Server doesn’t have this option.

We have create TSS-623 for this. And we will reply this if we have decision.

Thank you so much!

Programming / Data Contexts

  1. Databases (SQL)

NULLrepresents a **missing or unknown value. It’s **not equal to anything**, not even anotherNULL`.
Special handling is needed in queries:

sql

CopyEdit

WHERE column IS NULL
  1. JSON / APIs

null` is used to explicitly state that a key exists but has no value:

json

CopyEdit

{
  "name": null
}

3. Elixir / Ecto

nilis used instead ofnull. When inserted into a database, nilbecomesNULL. You may see {null}` in raw data or debug output, especially from structs or external integrations.

{null}` Specifically

{null}often appears in logs, serialization formats, or template engines to represent a placeholder for anull` value.
It's not standard syntax in most programming languages, but may be used in:
API documentation mockups
Template engines
Data exchange formats

Summary

Context Null Syntax Meaning
SQL NULL No value
JSON null Explicitly no value
Elixir/Ecto nil Becomes SQL NULL
Templates {null} Placeholder or debug output
