Hi,

In my query, some rows have null values (length 0).

I wish to replace them with some constant.

I think I am wrong somewhere in this query using coalesce():

select coalesce(u.name, 'anon'), nodecount from users u, ( select n.uid
userid, count(n.nid) nodecount from node n group by n.uid order by n.uid
) t1 where u.uid = t1.userid order by nodecount;

The output is same as that of without coalesce.
