How have you defined the column "siteid"? uniqueidentifier also or nvarchar?

Solution 1

For what you're doing, wouldn't it make sense to declare @ColID a varchar?

If not, you may wish to cast it to one.

Also, any reason you don't just build the query simply as:

SQL

update custom.location set siteid=@ColId where siteid is null

Solution 2

If this is microsoft SQL server it should be custom..location or custom.dbo.location. Syntax is database.owner.tablename....otherwise the first solution of defining the value as a varchar will work
