SUM 是SQL语句中的标准求和函数,如果没有符合条件的记录,那么SUM函数会返回NULL。
但多数情况下,我们希望如果没有符合条件记录的情况下,我们希望它返回0,而不是NULL,那么我们可以使用例如下面的方法来处理:
SELECT COALESCE(SUM(name),0) FROM person WHERE id > 0
行了,这下就不用费事去处理返回结果是否为NULL的情况了。
COALESCE 函数的意思是返回参数列表中第一个为空的值,该方法允许传入多个参数,该函数也是SQL中的标准函数。
然后查了查关于对于NULL值的判断。地址:http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_isnull.asp
SQL Server / MS Access
1 SELECT ProductName,UnitPrice*(UnitsInStock+ISNULL(UnitsOnOrder,0))
2 FROM Products
2 FROM Products
Oracle
Oracle does not have an ISNULL() function. However, we can use the NVL() function to achieve the same result:
1 SELECT ProductName,UnitPrice*(UnitsInStock+NVL(UnitsOnOrder,0))
2 FROM Products
2 FROM Products
MySQL
MySQL does have an ISNULL() function. However, it works a little bit different from Microsoft‘s ISNULL() function.
In MySQL we can use the IFNULL() function, like this:
1 SELECT ProductName,UnitPrice*(UnitsInStock+IFNULL(UnitsOnOrder,0))
2 FROM Products
2 FROM Products
or we can use the COALESCE() function, like this:
1 SELECT ProductName,UnitPrice*(UnitsInStock+COALESCE(UnitsOnOrder,0))
2 FROM Products
2 FROM Products
