MySQL - NULL safe NOT equal operator

Question

I am just curious - I know about NULL safe equal operator <=>, but is there some NULL safe NOT equal operator? Or I have to always use something like this

Answer 1

COALESCE(tab.id, 0) != 1

Can be used here if you like it. I goes through the parameters, and returns the first value that isn't NULL. In this case if it's NULL, it will compare 0 != 1. Although it may use more signs, it's still easier to manage instead of being forced to always have opposite "booleans" as a solution in those cases.

Read documentation for COALESCE()
