So I have been facing this weird situation in mysql where somehow null values are inserted in my table.
I’m talking about null value not NULL value.
I have attached image for better understating
as you can see name column have null and mobile_no have NULL
So after using this query
select Case when t1.name IS NULL then 'NA' when t1.name= 'NA' or 'null' or NULL then 'NA' else t1.name end as 'Name',
Case when t1.mobile_no IS NULL then 'NA' when t1.mobile_no= 'NA' or 'null' or NULL then 'NA' else t1.mobile_noend as 'Mobile no' from student;
after this I’m getting this result
|Name|Mobile no|
----------------
|null|NA |
but I want below result
|Name|Mobile no|
----------------
|NA |NA |
>Solution :
To compare a column with multiple values use col IN (x, y, z), not col = x OR y OR z.
You also can’t compare with NULL using = or IN, so that has to be a separate check.
select
Case
when t1.name IS NULL OR t1.name IN ('NA' or 'null') then 'NA'
else t1.name
end as 'Name'
