thanks for the response!
the first one
- SELECT title,replace(ISNULL(season),'1','Undefined') season -
i receive a missing operator error
the second one
- SELECT title,coalesce(season,NULL,'undefined') season -
i just get a database error.., but no information about it.
i am finding answers everywhere.., but when i apply them all i get is errors
with no information. i dont understand whats wrong.
i am also trying to do a case expression such as:
SELECT title, season
case when season is null then 'undefined'
end as season
FROM movies
i have tried different variations of the null such as = null, = '', i even
tried on other fields with numbers using <> and = and i still get "Error
Executing Database". i dont get it. =(
