How can I use IFNULL() function at the place of COALESCE() function in MySQL?
As we know that IFNULL() function will return the first argument if it is not NULL otherwise it returns the second argument. On the other hand, COALESCE() function will return first non-NULL argument. Actually, both IFNULL() and COALESCE() functions in MySQL works equivalently if the number of arguments is two only. The reason behind this is that IFNULL() function accepts only two arguments and in contrast, COALESCSE() function can accept any number of arguments.Suppose if we want to use IFNULL() function at the place of COALESCE() function then the number of arguments must be two. Following example will demonstrate it ...
Read MoreHow can I insert a value in a column at the place of NULL using MySQL COALESCE() function?
To understand it, we are using the data from the table ‘Employee’ having Salary=NULL for ID = 5 and 6, as follows −mysql> Select * from Employee; +----+--------+--------+ | ID | Name | Salary | +----+--------+--------+ | 1 | Gaurav | 50000 | | 2 | Rahul | 20000 | | 3 | Advik | 25000 | | 4 | Aarav | 65000 | | 5 | Ram | NULL | | 6 | Mohan | NULL | +----+--------+--------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)Now, the following queries will use COALESCE() function along with UPDATE and ...
Read MoreHow can I check the list of MySQL tables, in the current database we are using, along with table type in the result set?
It can be done with the SHOW FULL TABLES statement. Its Syntax would be as follows −SyntaxSHOW FULL TABLESExampleIn the following example our current database is ‘query’ hence the statement below will show us the table list along with table type in the result set from this database −mysql> SHOW FULL TABLES; +-----------------------------+------------+ | Tables_in_query | Table_type | +-----------------------------+------------+ | accounts | BASE TABLE | | address | BASE TABLE | | cars ...
Read MoreWhich MySQL query can be used with the help of which we can see the list of MySQL databases?
With the help of following MySQL query, we can see the list of MySQL database −mysql> SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata; +--------------------+ | schema_name | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | gaurav | | mysql | | performance_schema | | query | | query1 | | sys | | tutorials | +--------------------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec)We can also use WHERE clause with this query as follows −mysql> SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE schema_name LIKE '%schema' OR schema_name LIKE '%s'; +--------------------+ | schema_name | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | performance_schema | | sys | | tutorials | +--------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreWhat is the use of CHECK TABLE statement in maintaining the MySQL tables?
There may be something wrong which can happen to the database server e.g., the server was shutdown unexpectedly, error while writing data to the hard disk, etc. These situations could make the database operate incorrectly and in the worst case, it can be crashed.With the help of CHECK TABLE statement MySQL allows us to check the integrity of database tables. Its syntax would be as follows −CHECK TABLE table_nameHere, table_name is the name of the table.ExampleWe are running this statement for the table Student_info as follows −mysql> CHECK table student_info\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Table: query.student_info ...
Read MoreWhich MySQL function is used to find first non-NULL value from a list of values?
We can use MySQL COALESCE() function to get the first non-NULL value as output from a list of values. In other words, this function will check all the values until non-null value found. It can take one or more than one argument. It is having the following syntax:COALESCE(value1, value2, …, valueN)ExampleFollowing is an example to demonstrate it −mysql> Select COALESCE(NULL, NULL, NULL, 'Ram', 'Aarav', NULL); +--------------------------------------------------+ | COALESCE(NULL, NULL, NULL, 'Ram', 'Aarav', NULL) | +--------------------------------------------------+ | Ram | +--------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreHow MySQL evaluates an empty hexadecimal value?
Actually, MySQL evaluates an empty hexadecimal value to a zero-length binary string. It can be demonstrated as follows −mysql> Select CHARSET(X''); +--------------+ | CHARSET(X'') | +--------------+ | binary | +--------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)The above result set shows that the empty hexadecimal value is a binary string. And the result set below shows that it is of length 0.mysql> Select LENGTH(X''); +-------------+ | LENGTH(X'') | +-------------+ | 0 | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreHow MySQL prevents unauthorized clients from accessing the database system?
MySQL implements a sophisticated access control and privilege system that allows us to create comprehensive access rules for handling client operations and effectively preventing unauthorized clients from accessing the database system.The MySQL access control has two stages when a client connects to the server −Connection verification A client, which connects to the MySQL database server, needs to have a valid username and password. In addition, the host from that the client connects needs to match with the host within the MySQL grant table.Request verificationonce a connection is established successfully, for each statement issued by the client, MySQL checks whether the client ...
Read MoreWhich tables are used to control the privileges of MySQL database server?
When we install MySQL server, a database named MySQL created automatically. This MySQL database contains five main grant tables with the help of which MySQL server can control the privileges of MySQL database server. These tables are as follows −user tableThis table contains user account and global privileges columns. MySQL uses the user table to either accept or reject a connection from a host. A privilege granted in the user table is effective to all databases on the MySQL server.db tableThis table contains database-level privileges. MySQL uses the db table to determine which database a user can access and from which host. ...
Read MoreHow to allow a MySQL user account to connect from any host?
It is quite possible to allow a user account to connect from any host. To do so we need to create the user with the help of ‘%’ wild card character after @ character.
