You can use the COALESCE
function to merge rows and eliminate null values in TSQL.
Here is an example:
Suppose you have a table called "Customers" with the following data:
| CustomerID | FirstName | LastName | Email | |------------|-----------|----------|---------------| | 1 | John | Smith | john@example.com | | 2 | Jane | Doe | NULL | | 3 | Bob | Jones | bob@example.com |
To merge rows and eliminate null values in the Email column, you can use the COALESCE
function like this:
SELECT CustomerID, FirstName, LastName, COALESCE(Email, '') AS Email
FROM Customers
This will return the following result:
| CustomerID | FirstName | LastName | Email | |------------|-----------|----------|---------------| | 1 | John | Smith | john@example.com | | 2 | Jane | Doe | | | 3 | Bob | Jones | bob@example.com |
The COALESCE
function replaces null values with an empty string (''). Therefore, the Email column in the second row is now an empty string instead of null.
