string - Replacing "(null)" with blank cell in SQL query result -
i believe i'm asking here possible, haven't find way yet :
some cells in result of sql select-from-where query blank, , in dbvisualizer, (null)
written inside. i'd display blank cell instead.
i've tried case-when , nvl operator, won't let me replace blank ''
, i'm forced use ' '
or 'message'
.
i know delete these spaces or messages excel later, i'd know if there way directly dbvisualizer, instead of workaround.
edit: here request looks :
select *things*, case when (select count(*) table d2 *join-condition* , *other condition*) = 1 (*sub-select query*) else '' end name, *other things* table d1 *something*
thanks lot !
the problem in query following else part of case expression:
else ''
in oracle, empty string considered null value. so, need use something else instead of ''
.
for example, use space instead of null:
else ' '
update issue dbvisualizer tool. op on version 8.0.12
. prior version 9.2.8
cannot show null empty string. however, discussed in forum, has been fixed in dbvisualizer 9.2.8.
