I have a situation where I need to always get a row returned even if no match is in the table (only 1 or many rows are acceptable).
I can use: select a, b, c from mytable where a = 'yarp'; and might get 20 rows if there are matches, but I at least need 1 default row back... using : select ifnull(a,'NOTHING') as a, ifnull(b, 'NOTHING') b, ifnull(c, 'NOTHING') c from mytable where a = 'yarp'; just returns nothing... Anything I can add in here to have a recordset of at least (nothing, nothing, nothing) ? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
