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 string when exporting tables to csv?
Thanks
SELECT 'CU_CustomerID','CU_UserName','CU_Password','CU_Email','CU_Company','CU_Comment','CU_LastBasket','CON_FirstName','CON_MiddleI','CON_LastName','CON_Address1','CON_Address2','CON_City','CON_State','CON_Province','CON_Country','CON_Zip','CON_Phone1','CON_Phone2'
UNION
SELECT T1.CU_CustomerID,T1.CU_UserName,T1.CU_Password,T1.CU_Email,T1.CU_Company,T1.CU_Comment,T1.CU_ShopperPoints,T2.CON_FirstName,T2.CON_MiddleI,T2.CON_LastName,T2.CON_Address1,T2.CON_Address2,T2.CON_City,T2.CON_State,T2.CON_Province,T2.CON_Country,T2.CON_Zip,T2.CON_Phone1,T2.CON_Phone2
FROM CUSTOMERS AS T1
INNER JOIN CONTACT AS T2 ON T1.CU_CustomerID = T2.CON_CustomerID
WHERE T1.CU_CustomerID BETWEEN 0 AND 1000
INTO OUTFILE 'customers.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
From MySQL documentation
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.
