SQL之NULL值的几种处理方式

1、创建测试表：

drop table if exists tab_null_operator;

create table tab_null_operator as

select 1 as id,'chavin' as name union all

select 2 as id,'nope' as name union all

select 3 as id,'' as name union all

select 4 as id,'' as name union all

select 5 as id,null as name union all

select 6 as id,null as name union all

select 7 as id,' ' as name union all

select 8 as id,' ' as name union all

select 9 as id,'    ' as name union all

select 10 as id,'    ' as name

;

2、查看数据：

mysql> select * from tab_null_operator;

+----+--------+

| id | name   |

+----+--------+

|  1 | chavin |

|  2 | nope   |

|  3 |        |

|  4 |        |

|  5 | NULL   |

|  6 | NULL   |

|  7 |        |

|  8 |        |

|  9 |        |

| 10 |        |

+----+--------+

10 rows in set (0.00 sec)

小结：从结果我们可以看出，id in (5,6)的两个值是null，id in (1,2)的是字符串，id in (3,4,7,8,9,10)从结果看均是空字符串，实际id in (3,4)是空字符串，id in (7,8)是单个空格字符串，id in (9,10)是\t字符串。

3、查询name为null的记录：

mysql> select * from tab_null_operator where name is null;

+----+------+

| id | name |

+----+------+

|  5 | NULL |

|  6 | NULL |

+----+------+

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

小结：可以看到只有id in (5,6)的记录name字段才是真正的null。

4、查询name为''的记录信息：

mysql> select * from tab_null_operator where name = '';

+----+------+

| id | name |

+----+------+

|  3 |      |

|  4 |      |

|  7 |      |

|  8 |      |

+----+------+

4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

小结：可以看到我们输入的以空格为字符串的值都表现为空字符串。然后\t字符串的缺没有筛选出来。

5、查询\t字符串的数据：

mysql> select * from tab_null_operator where name = '   ';

+----+------+

| id | name |

+----+------+

|  9 |      |

| 10 |      |

+----+------+

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
