Fix MySQL CONCAT NULL Issue

When concatenating strings using the CONCAT function in MySQL, if one of the parameters is NULL, the result will be NULL. To solve this issue, you can use the IFNULL function to handle string parameters that may be NULL, replacing them with an empty string or another value.

For example, you can solve the issue of NULL values with the CONCAT function using the following statement:

SELECT CONCAT(IFNULL(col1, ''), IFNULL(col2, '')) AS concatenated_string
FROM your_table;

In this example, the IFNULL function will replace any NULL values in col1 or col2 with an empty string to prevent the CONCAT function from returning NULL. Alternatively, you can choose to replace it with another value, such as IFNULL(col1, ‘N/A’).
