I have a table called table1
It has 100 columns: {col1
, col2
, …,col100
}
I understand how to SELECT
rows not containing null values in a specific column for instance col1
:
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE col1 IS NOT NULL
How do I
SELECT
all rows that do not contain null values in any column
Attempt
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE * IS NOT NULL
but this returns an error in MySQL
(which I am using)

You need to explicitly list each column. I would recommend:
select t.* from t where col1 is not null and col2 is not null and . . .
Some people might prefer a more concise (but slower) method such as:
where concat(col1, col2, col3, . . . ) is not null
This is not actually a simple way to express this, although you can construct the query using metadata table or a spreadsheet.
