Stop thinking in terms of SQL. Start thinking in terms of Magento's Models. Magento's models just happen to use SQL as a backend. Querying for things via raw SQL is possible, but is going to vary from version to version of the Magento, and may differ depending on the backend you're using.

Run the following from a test controller action, or somewhere else you can execute Magento code from. It queries the model for products with no image

//this builds a collection that's analagous to 
//select * from products where image = 'no_selection'
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->addAttributeToFilter('image', 'no_selection');

foreach($products as $product)
{
    echo  $product->getSku() . " has no image \n<br />\n";
    //var_dump($product->getData()); //uncomment to see all product attributes
                                     //remove ->addAttributeToFilter('image', 'no_selection');
                                     //from above to see all images and get an idea of
                                     //the things you may query for
}

I know this is super old, but I found it helpful, so I thought I'd post an update.

As an addition to Alan's answer above, I found that there are other scenarios than just the 'no_selection' .. maybe due to plugins, or general bugs in the system? The final nlike will actually find everything, but I left the others just for fun.

Change the collection query as follows:

$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
    ->getCollection()
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToFilter(array(
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image',
            'like' => 'no_selection'
        ),
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image', // null fields
            'null' => true
        ),
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image', // empty, but not null
            'eq' => ''
        ),
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image', // check for information that doesn't conform to Magento's formatting
            'nlike' => '%/%/%'
        ),
    ));

Answer 4

You can use this SQL just to see which product doesn’t have images:

SELECT * FROM catalog_product_entity_media_gallery RIGHT OUTER JOIN catalog_product_entity ON catalog_product_entity.entity_id = catalog_product_entity_media_gallery.entity_id WHERE catalog_product_entity_media_gallery.value is NULL

Good Luck!
