As far as I know IFNULL() function is
IFNULL(exp1,exp2),when exp1=null will output exp2
but I try a some condition like as this
select IFNULL (ams2.deptno.`FName`,'empty')
from ams2.deptno as dept
but result still null not empty
I don't know where have problem,
have anyone can teach me how to fix?
1.The query You've used is correct need to debug can you give some other info like your table's crate table statement,some sample data
mysql> select ifnull(FName,'empty') as FName from deptno;
+--------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------+
| FName |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------+
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| myname |
| empty |
| empty |
| empty |
| empty |
| empty |
| empty |
| iam |
| ifdsam |
| rwer
There are many other possible solutions which will fit your problem
1.Use the below Query
select COALESCE(ams2.deptno.`FName`,'empty') as dept
from ams2.deptno
2.You can specify a default value for the column if the values are null
alter table ams2.deptno
modify cloumn FName varchar(255)
not null default 'empty'
select IFNULL(FName,'empty')
from ams2.deptno;
Why dont you try this simple way without backticks, I tried its working.
