Hi I am trying to build a MySQL database. I have made a table where some fields are VARCHAR and others are INT. All of them are null. One of the columns I made is Vote which is INT(5).
Now I am trying to import data from a text file. The problem is, some of the rows in the column Vote are blank.
As a result, MySQL giving me ERROR 1366 which says the following:
"Incorrect integer value: ' ' for column 'Vote' at row 1"
Tried making the column NOT NULL using the ALTER TABLE command..didn't work..
Would you please tell me how to fix it?
Thanks
