Error Comparing DB1 vs DB2. Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'YourColumn', table 'database.dbo.tmp_rg_xx_MyTable'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails
Published 13 December 2022
This error occurs when adding a new column to an already populated table, and the new column does not allow null values.
To fix this:
- assign a default value to the column in the source database, or
- set the column to allow nulls, and then set it back after you have the correct data inserted.
