MySQL query to convert empty values to NULL?
It’s easy to convert empty values to NULL using SET and WHERE. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1315 -> ( -> CountryName varchar(10) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.60 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. We have set some empty values here as well −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1315 values('US');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1315 values('');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1315 values('UK');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.70 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1315 values('');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1315 values('');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1315 values('AUS');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable1315;
Output
+-------------+ | CountryName | +-------------+ | US | | | | UK | | | | | | AUS | +-------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to convert empty values to NULL −
mysql> update DemoTable1315 set CountryName=NULL where CountryName=''; Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.16 sec) Rows matched: 3 Changed: 3 Warnings: 0
Let us check the table records once again −
mysql> select *from DemoTable1315;
Output
+-------------+ | CountryName | +-------------+ | US | | NULL | | UK | | NULL | | NULL | | AUS | +-------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
