Default T-SQL dialect question:

How do I batch check 30 fields for NULL?


I have say 30 fields and would like to batch check them for NULL in one SQL statement, is there a way? Or do I have to write something like the following for each single field:

select field1 from table1 where isnull(field1);

Default ANY answer. Re: How do I batch check 30 fields for NULL?

What exactly is the problem: the query needs to execute faster (much faster) or you do not want to write 30 separate tests for null?
