SQL Select Return Default Value If Null

Question

Database: MS SQL 2008

SELECT Listing.Title, Listing.MLS, Pictures.PictureTH, Pictures.Picture, Listing.ID 
FROM Listing INNER JOIN Pictures          


        

Answer 1

Use left outer join instead of inner join

Inner join will return results if and only if there is a result that satisfies the join.

Left outer join will return results from the left side table, and if the join is satisfied also add results from the right side table..

If you need to convert the null values returned from the non-satisfying joins, then use coalesce function like coalesce(Pictures.Picture, 'default.jpg')
