Delete empty rows

I believe that your problem is that you re checking for an empty string using double quotes instead of single quotes  Try just changing to   DELETE FROM table WHERE edit user

If you are trying to delete empty spaces   try using     instead of is null  Hence   if your row contains empty spaces   is null will not capture those records  Empty space is not null and null is not empty space    Dec  Hex     Binary    Char-acter Description 0    00  00000000      NUL        null  32  20  00100000      Space       space   So I recommend   delete  from foo table  where bar        or   delete  from foo table  where bar      or bar is null    or even better     delete from foo table where rtrim ltrim isnull bar
