WHERE           AND   Location is null OR  Location like        Location               AND   Date is null OR  Date    Date    This way it is more obvious the parameter is not used when null

Your datatype for  location nchar 20  should be  location nvarchar 20   since nChar has a fixed length  filled with Spaces   If Location is nchar too you will have to convert it          Cast Location as nVarchar 200   like      location              To enable nullable parameters with and AND condition just use IsNull or Coalesce for comparison  which is not needed in your example using OR   e g  if you would like to compare for Location AND Date and Time       location nchar 20    time time   date date as select DonationsTruck VechileId  Phone  Location   Date    Time  from Vechile  DonationsTruck where Vechile VechileId   DonationsTruck VechileId and    Location like     IsNull  location Location        and  Date  IsNUll  date date  and  Time    IsNull  time Time
