    I am trying to export the SQL Server 2005 database tables(10) to csv files.

    But some of the tables columns data have NULL values. I need to replace the NULL values with empty space. Easy way to find and replace in csv file.

    I tried to write the T-sql statement using ISNULL function. But I could see 0 in NULL place.

    Is there any way in SSIS where I can get it done? Appriciate your help.

    You'll need to convert all numerics to strings if you want ISNULL(somenumber,'') to actually convert to an empty space.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
