WHERE all IS NOT NULL

Question

How can I run a MySQL query that selects everything that is not null? It would be something like

SELECT * FROM schedule WHERE ((all)) IS NOT NULL
         


        

Answer 1

I would not do this, but to replace someone else's horrible idea., especially do not do this -- this is what they suggested:

SELECT *
  FROM SCHEDULE
 WHERE ID || FOO || BAR IS NOT NULL;

Don't do this either, but at least it isn't as bad...

SELECT *
  FROM SCHEDULE
WHERE coalesce(ID, FOO, BAR) IS NOT NULL;

This at least works on other versions of SQL, and some compilers will expand it to a series of IS NOT NULL.

Just do what the accepted answer says
