DECLARE @EmptyGuid UNIQUEIDENTIFIER | |
SET @EmptyGuid = (SELECT CAST(CAST(0 AS BINARY) AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER)) | |
-- Single result is 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 | |
SELECT @EmptyGuid |
Even simpler
DECLARE @EmptyGuid UNIQUEIDENTIFIER = 0x0
SELECT @EmptyGuid
Or
SELECT * FROM Table WHERE GuidColumn = 0x0
2 cents:
select cast(0x0 as uniqueidentifier)
