Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a send port that uses the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)-based SQL adapter to call a stored procedure that inserts rows in the column of a Microsoft SQL Server table. The column of the table cannot store NULL values.

    Note The WCF-based SQL adapter is included in Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010.
  • An input message that arrives at the send port has empty elements.

    For example, the message has the <ns0:input></ns0:input> or <ns0:input/> empty elements.

In this scenario, an error message that resembles the following is logged in the Application log:
A message sent to adapter "WCF-SQL" on send port "<send port>" with URI "mssql://<URI>" is suspended.
Error details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot insert the value NULL into column '<column name>', table '<table name>'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
If the column of the table can store NULL values, NULL values are incorrectly inserted in the column of the table.

Notes
  • This issue does not occur if the send port calls a table operation instead of a stored procedure to insert rows in the column of the table.
  • The correct value for the empty element is an empty string.
