Null Objects in Sybase Database

Is there any way to create null object, which is not pointing to any table in Database. I want to use this null objects in Unions.

Certainly, and I’m guessing you’ve tried and received a “object does not reference a table” error when parsing, correct? It’s a bit unsettling, but you can safely ignore that message. I don’t know Sybase, but with most databases as long as you use the object in conjunction with at least one other object that DOES reference a table, you’ll be fine. These “acceptable parse errors” are common with things like null, system dates, and so forth.
