Update table using where on column with empty values

Tags: ORACLE, SQL PLUS, SQL PLUS
Dear experts,

I am using the following statement to update the table QIASA.TARGETS_TBL:

UPDATE QIASA.TARGETS_TBL
SET TARGETS_VALUE = '0.01'
WHERE TARGETSDATE = '20071231'
AND KPI = 'ARANK'
AND MODEL = 6
AND DIVISION_CODE = ''
AND LINE_NO = 2
COMMIT;

The DIVISION_CODE column can often have no value in and I want the above statement to update the TARGETS_VALUE column when this is the case.

At the moment I can only get this staement to work when I enter a value for the DIVISION_CODE column e.g
AND DIVISION_CODE = 'E'

I have tried
AND DIVISION_CODE = ' '

and I have tried
AND DIVISION_CODE = NULL

Any recommendations

Regards

Ritesh
