How to handle null field when exporting MYSQL tables to CSV

Question

Right now when I export MYSQL tables to CSV files, I\'m getting \\N for NULL fields in the database which is expected. If there a way to change the \\N output to just an empty s

Answer 1

If the FIELDS ESCAPED BY character is empty, no characters are escaped and NULL is output as NULL, not \N. It is probably not a good idea to specify an empty escape character, particularly if field values in your data contain any of the characters in the list just given.
