Hi @sam870 -- If I'm understanding correctly, you might be able to use the information_schema views to dynamically generate the select statements.  Take care.

 

select 'SELECT * FROM ['+table_schema+'].['+table_name+'] WHERE '+column_name+' IS NULL' FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS order by TABLE_NAME,ORDINAL_POSITION
