Try to use this. Check your value is kind of NULL class or not rather than comparing Pointers value.

if ([appDelegate.categoryName isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]]){

        select = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"select * FROM ContentMaster LEFT JOIN  Category  ON  ContentMaster.CategoryID= Category.CategoryID where ContentMaster.ContentTagText='%@'",appDelegate.tagInput];

        }

    else {


      select = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"select * FROM ContentMaster LEFT JOIN  Category  ON  ContentMaster.CategoryID= Category.CategoryID  LEFT JOIN Topic ON ContentMaster.TopicID=Topic.TopicID where ContentMaster.ContentTagText='%@' && Category.CategoryName='%@' && Topic.TopicName='%@'",appDelegate.tagInput,appDelegate.categoryName,appDelegate.topicName];


    }
