Alias "all fields"?

Hmm

>        SELECT * FROM gdp WHERE y1970 NOT NULL AND y1971 NOT NULL  
> AND .... y2005 NOT NULL

It sounds like a bad table design,
because i think you need an field "f_year" and "value_of_f_year" then
there would be entries like
f_year;value_of_f_year
1970 'NULL'
1970 dfgsd
1971 'NULL'
1971 ....

where f_year IS NOT NULL and value_of_f_year IS NOT NULL

Betreff: [SPAM]  Alias "all fields"?


Hi there,

I guess I am demanding too much.... But it would be cool to have some  
kind of alias for "all fields".

What I mean is this here:

Instead of this:

        SELECT * FROM gdp WHERE y1970 NOT NULL AND y1971 NOT NULL  
AND .... y2005 NOT NULL

I would like to have this:

       SELECT * FROM gdp WHERE all-fields NOT NULL

This is, because my tables have different - and a different number of  
fields.

In principal, I actually just want to have the number of fields which  
are NOT NULL...

Thanks for any advice.

Stef
