    Insert null value to a date field

    How do you insert a null value into a date field? I've tried to use 'null' and ' ' but there's an error. How do you do it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Just use null, nothing more, nothing less:
    Code:
    scott@oracle> create table d (dd date);
    
    Table created.
    
    scott@oracle> insert into d values(null);
    
    1 row created.

    In case of nulls it is a good practice to use
    explicit conversion:
    insert into d values(to_date(null));
